Outspoken Beauty

** This episode is in partnership with Boots Mothers Day Bootiques** I can't believe it's taken me more then 2 years to get my Mum Francesca on the podcast. She was one of the people who sparked my passion for beauty in the first place and as well as being one of my best friends in the world, she is also my inspiration. In this episode we chat about so much....how she felt as a working mother in t...

In this week's episode of My Beauty Habits I'm joined by Anna Newton aka The Anna Edit. Anna is a real friend of the podcast and this, her third recording, is definitely the most revealing yet.

We also chat about Matt the dent...

In this episode I'm joined by Charlotte Knight who is the founder of Ciate.

She chats through how she looks after her mental health, her daily routine and the make-up products that she is utterly loyal to.

Alice Hart Davis is one of the UK's most beloved and experienced beauty journalists who actually got me first beauty column, so I owe her a lot! In her time Alice has written about so many aspects of beauty and the industry and recently she began to focus more on "tweakments" which are the little things you can do to your face to "freshen it up". In other words we're talking the more extreme end o...

In this the second episode of "My Beauty Habits", I join the fabulous Trinny Woodall at her swanky new studio. Once I've had a nose around and been bowled over by the sheer amount of products she has (Space NK eat your heart out), we sit down with a cuppa and chat through her skincare routine, her most beloved products, her relationship with her brow tinter and so much more. This is a lovely insig...

I love meeting founders of brands and in this episode I get to know the genius that is Kate Somerville. During our chat she tells me how she came up with and made her brand such a success, her experience of skin and how it has influenced her skincare range and also her attitude to life.

Welcome to an episode featuring two women who are practically royalty in the beauty world, the wonderful Noella Gabriel and Oriele Frank who are two of the three founders of Elemis.

In this third special wellbeing episode for January I'm talking to Natalie Lee aka Style Me Sunday about one of the biggest trends for 2020 : Sexual Wellbeing. From Cult Beauty dedicating an entire section of their website to it, to Boots now stocking vibrators, the idea of sex and self pleasure being something good for us and our health is fast replacing the taboo. Natalie and I talk candidly abo...

If there's one thing I've learnt about skincare, it's that it is a topic that is brimming with debate and difference of opinion. One expert's minimal approach is another's love for acid peels and retinol. Of all my guests, Marie Reynold's approach to skin (and health) is one of the most alternative and fascinating. Over the year's she has applied her learning and experience to formulate her own ve...

During the episode Zita shares fertility tips (many of which I never knew), she also gives balanced and honest advice about egg freezing,...

It was love at first sight when I met Philip B. The man is practically royalty in Hollywood and if you can think of a megastar he has probably run his fingers through their hair. Philip knows (and loves) hair at a deeper and more profound level than anyone I've ever met. His knowledge of hair and the scalp is unsurpassed as you'll find out during this episode. Get ready to find out about the impor...

This incredibly informative episode sees Victoria Health's brilliant pharmacist Shabir Daya return to Outspoken Beauty to talk through which supplements we should be taking during each decade of our lives. From the supplements that we should all take whatever our age to those that help with acne, mood, PMS, pregnancy, menopause, bone health and everything in between, Shabir has it covered. What I...

The first thing that Pamela said to me when I met her before recording this podcast was that she is VERY opinionated when it comes to skincare and products and boy was she right. Pamela doesn't hold back and her sometimes extreme views all root from a deep passion and lifelong study of skin and what makes it behave in certain ways. Get ready to hear Pamela talk about her views on high street skinc...

In this New Year's Day special I chat through my ideas for making sure that January 2020 is a positive and exciting month rather than the gloomy one that it can often feel like. This is all about fighting the cliche that is the January blues and turning things on their head (without going on an extreme diet or exercise regime). I also celebrate my favourite beauty brands and products of 2019. If I...

Prepare to meet a woman who saw a big problem in the beauty industry and set about making things right. Florence Adepoju was tired of trying to find a foundation shade that matched her skin only to be told that the right one "wasn't on stock" or didn't exist or a lipstick that suited her that wasn't just limited edition so she set about forming her own brand MDM Flow (in her early 20's). Flo worke...

So here we are, almost at the end of 2019 and it's time for the last episode of The Ultimate Guide to Makeup with Cher Webb.

In this last episode we reflect on an amazing year and answer all the questions that yo...

Oh how I loved doing this episode. Louise Pentland is a woman who makes you feel that anything is possible. She balances being a Mum with being a badass business woman/author/content creator/all round superwoman and yet somehow manages to remain totally down to earth and approachable. In this episode we talk about how she balances all the different parts of her life, her new book, the beauty produ...
