Dermalogica is one of those skincare brands that have been around for years and only recently have I started to take notice of it. When Preen.Me got in touch about joining the #MyFaceMyStory experience I was so excited as I felt like my skin was in real need of some change. The experience began by booking in a face mapping skin analysis in my nearest Dermalogica counter which is a free service. I visited the Dermalogica counter in Selfridges Trafford centre where I was first given a questionnaire to fill out about my skin. 

I discovered Charlotte Tilbury when I lived in London 3 years ago and I visited the counter in Selfridges, just a few years later and she now has a beauty boutique in Covent Garden, over 100 products in her amazing cosmetics & skinare range and she is a permanent fixture behind the scenes at fashion week. Her latest addition to the range is her very own fragrance, Scent of a Dream which has been developed by Charlotte herself, the face of the campaign is of course her good friend and beautiful supermodel Kate Moss! I recently went along to a very exciting masterclass in Manchester which was led by Kelly Dawn, the National Education & Artistry Manager for Charlotte Tilbury. At the masterclass Kelly demonstrated the Golden Goddess look.

For all those beauty junkies out there, the Estee Edit collection is definitely a must have! When I found out that Estee Lauder were launching a younger, more affordable beauty range I was very excited. The collection launched in 320 Sephora stores across the US and Canada and exclusively in Selfridges in the UK this May. I tried out some of the products in store and was given some samples to try at home. My favourite product was the Sunday Vibe lipstick, it is hydrating, rich in colour and not sticky at all. It’s a nude shade which is what I like to wear every day and at £17 it is very affordable.

I have recently discovered Suqqu, the Japanese skincare brand located in the beauty hall in Selfridges. I was invited along to experience their famous Gankin facial massage which is meant to increase blood circulation and oxygen to the face, reduce sagging around the eyes and tighten pores. I would highly recommend this facial, it’s like a deep tissue massage but on the face. You can feel pressure but in a good way. The therapist used pressure on different points of the face to tighten and plump the skin. The treatment lasted about 30 minutes but the massage part only lasted about 15 minutes. My skin felt fresh and glowy straight after the treatment.
