Such a special day going back to where it all began for me 🥹💖 I went to uni in Liverpool and worked at Peaches while I was there. Kate and taught me everything from scratch and took me in like family. They have been such special friends to me ever since. Of all the 10s of thousands of people at Anfield last night, I bumped into Nic and Claire by chance, then spent the day in the shop seeing the whole gang and then called over to see Kate. I feel so lucky to have had them start me off in beauty. All of this after my lovely cosy night with and on our .co.uk Eras Tour adventures. It’s been such a special 36 hours! 🥹💖🍑 # # #
I thought I’d show you what I packed for my trip to Salem a little while ago, because a lot of these things have remained in my daily rotation. Head to my Substack, Love Letters, to read an in depth explanation as to why I chose these! 💖✈️
Half Magic Beauty Glitterpills and Glitterpuck
IT Cosmetics Original CC Cream, Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer and Sunblush
Lisa Eldridge lip liners in 1W and 1C, YSL Loveshine lipstick in number 44, and Half Magic Beauty gloss in Y2K Cherub
Half Magic Beauty Eyelectric mascara
Isle of Paradise self tanning mousse, Kosas brow pencil and gel, Half Magic Beauty dome shaped eyeshadow brush, Peaches and Cream pigments, MAC Cream colour base in Hush, N**estix Bondi Bae bronzer, and the Half Magic Beauty palette with a selection of their blushers and eyeshadows. When I go on holiday with no expectation of work, filming, anything like that, I realise that my comfort zone for makeup is a CC Cream base, n**e lip, and a different bright colour on my eyes every day! I dabbled in all of these shadows and loved them.
Vichy Mineral 89 moisturiser and IT Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream
Garnier SPF for body, Hello Sunday SPF50 and SPF spray
K18 Damage Shield shampoo and conditioner, Batiste dry shampoo, Living Proof Nourishing Styling Cream and a Hershesons hair brush
Simple eye makeup remover, Garnier micellar water, Skin Rocks cream cleanser and large cotton pads from Boots
N**estix lip balm and Tweezerman tweezers – two of the most important items to have a comfortable holiday. Nothing worse than dry lips or a little something poking out of your chin and driving you around the bend.
As far as holiday edits go, this one served me really well! I’d love to know what your favourite things to pack are. You can read exactly why I chose all of these in my Substack.

Congratulations on your book launch day today! A simple, elegant guide to all things fashion and beauty, this is a lovely read with lots of practical tips that you can dip in and out of when you need them. I am so proud to have contributed some tips on managing redness (which you can find on pages 36 and 55 when you get yours). I really enjoy keeping up with Gemma and Sam’s day to day edits here on Instagram, so it means so much to have been part of this! Congratulations girls and enjoy every minute of your celebrations this week. # # #
My first ever feature is now live, covering all of the essentials for managing rosacea. Thank you so much for having me, and for conducting most of these interviews - team work makes the dream work 🫶 Bazaar has always felt like another world of fancy to me. When I interned with she had not long moved from there, and I even got to spend one lovely week interning with (all back in 2012). Writing this was a lovely full circle moment that meant so much to me. I really hope that if you have redness or rosacea it helps you, and above all please remember that there are so many ways you can reduce your redness. Please don’t be disheartened if your skin isn’t where you’d like it to be right now. You can read this on the Harpers Bazaar UK website. And on another note, I’m reminding myself that some dreams might take 12 years to materialise but they still will! ❤️
Merry Christmas ❤️ # # #
Happy birthday 💖 in celebration of the release of her Eras Tour movie extended cut, I’d love for you to read this piece I wrote for about how I love that she has created such a community of togetherness. The link to read is in my profile or just type her name into the British Glamour website.
🎂💖✨
I loved talking to .davy for this piece in today. Donni and her magical makeup vision have had such a huge impact on me. I truly credit her with empowering an entire generation to express themselves in a way that felt authentic and fun rather than following the masses. There is so much I could say about Donni, and indeed the whole family like the super special , or even her core makeup team like , but for now here are a few thoughts in Stylist. I am super proud to have this as my very first piece with them, and incredibly lucky to have had editing this for me. Lucy is one of my favourite ever writers, I was her OG Grazed Knees blog fan, so all in all this marries a lot of happy memories and I’d be so happy if you read it. The link is in my profile or just type Donni’s name into Stylist online # # #
36 hours in Amsterdam with ❤️ it’s been a real dream come true to work with such a kind, welcoming team today on a lovely shoot to be launched in the new year with Rituals. There is without a doubt something to be said for the fact that this brand who pride themselves on moments of self care and celebrating wellness have cultivated one of the friendliest teams I’ve ever had the chance to work with. Seeing after many years was the cherry on the cake, and making new friends like a huge part of the charm. I was quite busy in the build up to this trip so I had no time to Google what to do. I genuinely asked people in the street where to go and what to do, wandered my way around, and had a lovely few hours yesterday seeing the city. I think Amsterdam may have restored some of my faith in humanity to be honest! ❤️✨ AD info: no paid or sponsored content. We’re working on a project together that will go live in the new year. X
There is an unmatched camaraderie among Swifties 💓

I’ve written a review of the Eras Tour movie today for , which also takes a look at the cultural impact of the tour and how much joy it has spread among Swifties 💖 , thank you so much for having me, and thank you .savoia.psychotherapy for helping me to understand the power of fandoms. There are loads of TikToks in here in homage to expert Swifties, and also a mention of ’s incredible trip to Nashville for the concert and subsequent Taylor town tour! Special mention to who literally hand holds me through every possible facet of writing! I’m trying to broaden the topics of what write about, so I’d be so grateful if you clicked to read this. You can find the link in my profile and on my stories today, or just type Taylor’s name into Glamour 💕💖💕 can’t wait to go to the cinema every weekend until it finishes 🤣🥳 # # #
My dreams came true today! I met 😭 I listen to Haim every single day and can’t put into words how special this was to me. I also made two queue besties and , we had so much fun waiting together and then Carys got these photos for me so that I could treasure my chats with them 😭 thank you for being every bit as kind as I knew you would be and more , and 💕💕💕 that was the most special evening of my life.

Delighted to be part of the team of judges at the beauty awards again this year! Entries are still open if you are a beauty brand wanting to share some of your heroes. By the way, this headshot was taken by who is incredible and based in Birmingham. She is so talented at so many things, check out her music ! ❤️
Throwing the hen of the year at ! 💖🕺🏾🪩🍉💍✨👰♀️
An update on my love life (kind of) 💕 thank you so much and for allowing me to share a little of what life can be like when you aren’t the one getting married, pregnant or finding the dream house, but it feels like everyone else around you is. Writing this took me so ridiculously out of my comfort zone, but when I shared a tongue-in-cheek feature for Glamour this January, the response completely floored me. I had so many deeply personal messages from people who resonated with what I’d said and shared their stories with me. It made me want to check in again. Special thank you also to who is one of the best friends you could wish for. She told me “if it frightens you, you should write it” and gave me the courage to be really honest when I wrote this. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to throw my phone on a cliff and ponder what on earth possessed me to open up 🤣 the link to read the feature is in my Instagram bio and on my stories. X
.bab appreciation post 🫶 I love going to see the girls so much. Especially over the last few months they’ve been 1/2 giving me fab nails and 1/2 complete and utter therapists 🤣💕 one of the best local businesses you will ever support if you’re local to Birmingham. Thank you for always being my fave pit stop. (And while you’re there, I also love next door!) Glastonbury nails by the queen herself, Rosie. # # #

Everyone in these photos works in their local beauty hall, and having worked in mine for many years I have so much love for anyone that does this job.

Just wanted to share this post in case you happen to be working in a beauty hall, because you have my full respect and admiration! And if you’re planning on visiting one, look out for all of these faces 🥰💖 thanks for a brilliant day and . And as for the Irish girls… see you next week! 🥳☘️💕 # # #
