Outspoken Beauty

In this episode of The Ultimate Guide to Makeup, Cher and I chat about an amazing event we went to at Liberty London to celebrate the launch of this year's advent calendar. We discuss how we didn't know what to do with the green heads of our posh carrot hors d'oeuvres so took dramatic action and will also give a few clues (but no giveaways) as to what you'll find inside the calendar.We also chat about Dr Sam's new moisturiser, a fab new product that's coming from The Inkey List and so much more.Finally, we tell you more about the Outspoken Beauty X Fenwick roadshow which kicks off on October 1st. All the details will be on the Fenwick website and tickets are officially on sale from 19.9.19. So hope to see you there x

In this episode I chat to the one and only Bobbi Brown. I'm so used to seeing her brand and it was fascinating to get to know the woman behind it.This is her story from owning one of the biggest makeup brands to walking away and taking her life in a whole new direction.She tells some incredible anecdotes and you'll be so inspired by her energy and ambition and the beautiful way that she juggles career and family life.Later on I chat about Ruth Crilly's incredible new project and also about the power of a Sunday self care ritual.xx

In this special episode in partnership with Aromatherapy Associates, I meet writer and editor Sarah Ivens who gave up a high powered city career in magazines, moved to Kentucky and learnt how the power of nature and in particular getting out amongst it can benefit both your physical and mental health. Sarah's extensively researched, hit book "Forest Therapy - Seasonal Ways To Embrace Nature For a Happier You" proves how nature can enhance our lives in so many ways and during the episode we talk about the health benefits of getting amongst the trees, how to switch off from the pressures of every day life and why we need to incorporate new, healthier and more outdoor based habits into our lives.Sarah also tells us a bit about the changes she made in her own life and the amazing results they had on her health and we chat about the brand new Forest Therapy Oil that she has created with Aromatherapy Associates.Later on I chat through a one off skincare routine to get your glow back.I hope you find this episode inspiring and potentially life changing. It's definitely encouraged me to make some important changes xx

Having had loads of birthday celebrations (one of which involved being in a hot tub on a boat) Cher is back, on a detox and raring to go for another episode of The Ultimate Guide to Makeup. In this episode we chat about our resolution to get fit, spending far too much on running shoes (a definite case of all the gear and no idea) and why we never want to own an Apple WatchI give a very honest review of the new Protect and Perfect Foundation, Cher talks about a new body cream of dreams, her perfume of the year and a very exciting new lipstick collection.There's loads more in store. Hope you enjoy our weekly beauty natter xx

This episode is a slight departure from my usual in that it's not directly beauty related but focuses more on wellbeing.I've always been fascinated/confused/cynical/excited by the idea that supplements can really turn our health around. Do they actually work? Why are the good ones so expensive? What should we be taking?To answer my many questions I invited the amazing Shabir Daya onto the podcast. He is the in-house pharmacist at Victoria Health and a total fountain of knowledge on the subject. Trinny is a huge advocate of supplements (she takes up to 15 a day) and really feels that they have turned a variety of her health issues around.Trinny and Shabir argue their case for why we could all benefit from taking supplements and which ones are right for us.Later on I chat about retinol and I also make a big announcement about The Outspoken Beauty Road Show...coming soon xx

I loved recording this episode with Cher. Having just got back from a fortnight away, we had so much to catch up on.I chat through my holiday skincare routine which worked absolute wonders at keeping my skin balanced and congestion/spot free. Cher also discusses a great fake tan and the lip cream she doubles up as an eye cream.We also talk about the importance of taking time out to bond with your friends, security checks at airports and how going back on the pill has affected my body in surprising ways.All product links : outspokenbeauty.co.ukAs ever feel free to DM us via Insta any time. I'm @OutspokenBeautyNicola and Cher is @CherWebbMakeup.xx

I started reading Ruth's amazing blog "A Model Recommends" years ago and I've always loved her irreverent sense of humour, incredible writing style and the fact that her recommendations are always thoroughly tested and usually spot on! I was so excited to get her on the podcast and she was everything I hoped for and more.Ruth instantly had me in peals of laughter and during the episode we chat about all sorts of things from careers to juggling motherhood and work to beauty products we love to what we should be washing our vulvas with. If you love Ruth already you'll love her even more after this and if you've never come across her then I'm almost certain you'll be a fan after getting to know her on the podcast.Enjoy the episode and make sure you join me and Cher on Wednesday xx

One of my favourite times of the week is when Cher and I get together to do this podcast. I never know what's coming and we often end up snorting with laughter.In this episode we start off talking about the best products for hands and feet but somehow get onto our experiences of laser hair removal and a lot more in between.As ever if you'd like to get in touch feel free to DM us via insta. I'm on @OutspokenBeautyNicola and Cher is @CherWebbMakeupEnjoy xx

In this special episode in partnership with Dermalogica I'm joined by the amazing Sally and Candice who are charged with the education of Dermalogica's 6000 or more skin therapists. I was totally bowled over by the huge breadth of knowledge that these women have about skin, skincare and ingredients and I found their advice empowering and incredibly educational. If you want to learn what really works for YOUR skin and are after solid, down to earth advice then this is the episode for you.Candice and Sally also answer all the questions that you asked me via Instagram. Think of this as a hands on skincare session which will leave you feeling brimming with knowledge.Later on I review two of my absolute favourite hair products.I hope you love the episode. Cher and I are back on Wednesday. Have a fab week xx
