I'm a makeup chameleon, dabbling in various brands
Budget Beauty Essentials: Sara Cox Shares her Favorite Affordable Products, Including a £6 Hair Wonder
I'll govern my eyelashes with Maybelline's Great Lash or UK Lash's Lengthening mascara. Sometimes I'll splurge on Dior (below). My eyebrows need constant coloring, as they're the epitome of 90s. You could say they were never majestic, but as a model, they underwent some brutal plucking. I'm not adventurous enough to tattoo them, so instead, I sport Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil (£24, spacenk.com). My fringe conveniently hides a multitude of sins!
DiorShow Overvolume Mascara £35 Shop
I appreciata tinted moisturizer for everyday wear - Sarah Chapman Skinesis Skin Insurance SPF 50+ Tinted (from £25, sarahchapman.com). Postward, I apply No 7 Pro Artist Soft Glow Cream Bronzer (£19.95) with an Eco Tools Blending Face Brush (£5, both boots.com). Contouring is all the rage, but once I've contoured my forehead, cheekbones, and nose, I figure I might as well cover my entire face. I'm just a kid playing with my mom's makeup.
I've got a taste for spray tans
I've come across James Harknett (jamesharknett.co.uk). He'll always make time for me if I've got an event. He's got good vibes!
Skincare for the time-constrained
By night, I'm exhausted when I wash my face. I've dabbled in multiple potions, but now I crave simplicity. I adore No 7 Future Renew Night Serum (above) for its rapid absorption. Face oils are a favorite, and I discovered the Kushboo oil (£28, kushboosoaps.co.uk) when its creator rang in to my radio show. I've yet to get Botox or tweakments, but I appreciate a facial. They not only ameliorate skin health but also revitalize my mental state. I visit Vaishaly at her Marylebone clinic (vaishaly.com). She performs some enchanting rituals, and I go to sleep instantly, emitting little snores.
Turmeric: My health secret weapon
My mom battles arthritis, so I strive to minimize inflammation with a low-sugar regimen, curcumin tablets, turmeric shots, and a sleep-inducing pill.
In my mind, I'm a marathon runner
I may venture on a run with the dog, imagining myself as a gazelle. My true reflection reveals a Disney ogre. We've resort transformed our garage into a mini gym. I've equipped it with weights and mirrors. I'll squeeze in 20 minutes here and there. It's beneficial for women my age to embrace weight training. And it's fulfilling when a hint of muscle emerges! I lack a trainer, but YouTube offers an abundance of cost-free workout routines. I'm partial to Caroline Girvan.
Haircare: I can't skip the suds
I don't maintain a party-worthy blow-dry for weeks. I need to wash my hair every other day. I cherish JVN shampoo (above) and can't live without Palmer's Olive Oil Formula Leave-in Conditioner (£5.99, superdrug.com). I spritz that all over my hair, making it easy to comb through it. I've traversed the entire blonde spectrum but now favor a softer hue, a departure from my once vibrant yellow Lego-head locks.
- After applying makeup, I opt for a balanced approach to skincare, using No 7 Pro Artist Soft Glow Cream Bronzer and Sarah Chapman Skinesis Skin Insurance SPF 50+ Tinted for a natural look.
- The highlight of my fashion and beauty routine is maintaining my brows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil, ensuring they are always well-groomed.
- To enhance my health and wellness, I employ a low-sugar diet, curcumin tablets, turmeric shots, and a sleep-inducing pill to help manage inflammation, particularly for my mother who battles arthritis.
- Embracing the importance of fitness and exercise, I utilize the home gym in our garage, incorporating weight training and yoga exercises, inspired by Caroline Girvan's workout routines on YouTube.
