Outspoken Beauty

In this week's Outspoken Review I'm telling you all about the newest fragrant offering from Diptyque (I think it's going to become one of their icons).
I also chat about why I'm rekindling an old love affair with Bare Minerals and Laura Mercier. (They're got some really cool and forward thinking products out).
Enjoy!

In this week's Outspoken I'm talking to the incredible chemotherapy nurse Gemma Reeves.
Since Covid, Gemma has seen an uprise in younger women getting breast cancer and is doing everything she can to get the Mammogram age lowered from 50 to 40.
During the episode we talk about her campaign and petition and why earlier detection will save money rather than increase cost. We also talk about the effect of breast cancer on women when their treatment is over.
Please get involved and sign Gemma's petition here, she's also on Instagram @check_the_girls.
You can also join Gemma and loads of other amazing women on Parliament Square on 23rd April at 13:30. Wear a pink T-shirt!

In this week's Outspoken Review I've finally found the ultimate natural deoderant that smells delightful and really works.
I'm also talking about a great Barrier cream, an eye cream recommended by my favourite aesthetician and more.

The gorgeous Bryony Blake is here and as ever we have a good old catch up before we get into the beauty recommendations.
This week Bryony has some amazing and really novel tips for applying makeup that shows off your natural skin while giving great coverage.
She also talks about why she adores the brand Soapsmith.
We're also chatting about Bryony's amazing night seeing Ray, the surprising world of foot fetishes, my new found respect for teachers and lots more.
Hope you enjoy our catch up :0)
