Charlotte Tilbury have recently launched a new beauty counter in Selfridges Trafford Centre and as a self confessed beauty addict I had to go along and discover it for myself! Whilst I was there I was lucky enough to have one of Charlotte’s lead artist do my makeup in one of her fabulous looks, the ‘Dolce Vita’ which I chose for its more neutral palette. I am not a fan of such heavy makeup and usually try to stick to quite natural looks as I find it suits me better. I love everything about the Charlotte Tilbury brand from her skincare range to her cosmetics and most recently launched perfume ‘Scent of a Dream’.

I recently tried out the lovely health and beauty salon Jems located in Whitefield, not far from Manchester city centre. They offer a wide range of services from manicures and pedicures to waxing, facials, laser and even makeup and spray tans. I tried out some of their services and was super impressed with my experience at the salon. Pampering is something that most people don’t have enough time for and whilst I have been pregnant I have tried to find time to rest and relax and people keep telling me to slow down! Having some pamper time definitely makes you feel better about yourself during your pregnancy.

Happy Friday my lovely readers! I have decided to post about my current haircare routine as this is something I don’t focus on enough. As you may know I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and keeping your hair healthy and nourished is a tricky one whilst growing a baby so when I discovered this nourishing range which was is also vegan and cruelty free by Umberto Giannini I was really looking forward to seeing how it would transform my hair. I was a little skeptical at first as I am used to using premium haircare brands that are more expensive whilst certainly giving results but I’m super impressed with this range.

I recently discovered Anne Semonin whilst I was away on a family holiday at Sani Beach in Greece. I wasn’t so familiar with this brand even though it has 25 years in the industry. This Parisian based skincare brand offers prescriptive tailor-made skincare combinations and treatments. Whilst away with my family I booked the pregnancy bliss treatment in the spa which included a facial using Anne Semonin. I immediately fell in love with the products, little did I know about this French skincare brand but I was so impressed with my facial that I wanted to discover more. At first I was little dubious about such a niche skincare brand, sold in Harrods along with a price tag to match but the products really do work!
