MAKEUP
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Sepia Ink (£17, www.bobbibrown.co.uk ) which really stays put all day if I need it to.
Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara (£24.50, www.armanibeauty.co.uk ) I absolutely love this as it doesn’t smudge.
MAC Brow Set (£12.50, www.maccosmetics.co.uk ) really makes a difference to my brows and the framing of a face.
Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine (£24, www.selfridges.com ) I really like to make bit of a statement with my lips, so would wear this in orangey or burgundy shades but not pink.
For amazing glow, and a touch of summer all year round, I love Tom Ford Bronzing Powder (£65, www.selfridges.com ).
MAC Eye Brows (£12.50, www.maccosmetics.co.uk ) has a really fine tip for strengthening and neatening the line of brows. It’s the best brow pencil I’ve found.
I absolutely love the colours of Essie nail varnishes (£7.99, www.boots.com ) and they appear to stay for the longest out of all the varnishes I’ve tried.
Cover FX Natural FX Water Based Liquid Foundation (£37, www.houseoffraser.co.uk ) I have rosacea, so need a foundation that gives good cover while looking natural and being kind to skin. This does all three.
SKINCARE
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (£8.99, https://store.cetaphil.co.uk ) I find this is as good as any expensive cleanser and it’s one that so many dermatologists recommend.
Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask (£90, www.houseoffraser.co.uk ) really seems to work as a pick-me-up for skin.
Liz Earle Superskin Moisturiser (£36, http://uk.lizearle.com ) I wear this daily because it’s non-clogging, and feels clean on my skin. Plus, it doesn’t contain extra additives.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Eye Recovery Complex (£37, www. esteelauder.co.uk ) is the sister to the Advanced Night Repair famous serum and it has an amazing texture and really helps fine lines.
Sisley Facial Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (£103, www.houseoffraser.co.uk ) This is one of my favourite face creams for summer holiday.
BATH AND BODY
Aromatherapy Associates Bath Oils (from £37, www.uk.spacenk.com ) out of all the bath oils, these still smell incredible.
Ren Body Creams (from £9, www.renskincare.com ) wherever possible I like to use natural products and these ones are free from nasty additives or synthetic fragrances.
Aesop’s Geranium Leaf Hydrating Body Treatment (£23, www.aesop.com/uk ) is amazingly hydrating and smells divine.
Soapwalla Deodorant Cream (£13.80, www.beingcontent.com ) For me it’s all about a natural deodorant and this one really really works. And I’ve tried them all.
Rodial Brazilian Tan (£35, www.rodial.co.uk ) This has never ever streaked on me so I’m a fan.
HAIR
Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask (£30.45, www.feelunique.com ) this really takes care of my colour and makes it less straggly.
Percy & Reed Dry Shampoo (£12, www.asos.com ) is absolutely amazing for refreshing my hair look without having to wash it.
Kérastase Reflection Bain Chroma Captive Colour Radiance Protecting Shampoo (£13.55, www.feelunique.com ) I have my hair coloured and find Kérastase the best to care for it.
MY LITTLE BLACK BOOK OF HEALTHINESS
Rainbow Light Women’s Multivitamins which I buy from Wholefoods.
Amazing Meal sachets (£29.91, www.auravita.com ) I always have a healthy snack in my handbag.
Lucas Hugh ( www.lucashugh.com ) this is an absolutely amazing fitness/sportswear company from a designer who used to work at Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs. She uses the most incredible hi-tech fabrics.
Barrecore ( www.barrecore.co.uk ) I love this dance and ballet-based fitness class as it seems to work and tone my body like nothing I’ve ever tried before.
Recently I read The China Study by T. Colin Campbell which examines the relationship between consumption of animal products and chronic illness. It is fascinating.
I’m obsessed with Symprove ( www.sunshinehealthshop.co.uk ) which is an amazing probiotic which really helps with digestive function.
Amazing Grass Green Superfood ( www.nutritioncentre.co.uk ) which alkalises the system and provides lots of energy.
Rice Protein Powder I use this in my shakes. I’d prefer not to take a dairy-derived products so use this instead.
