In this episode I'm joined by ex-beauty editor of Glamour Alex Steinherr. Since leaving Glamour Alex has forged the most amazing career in beauty and has done it on her own terms. Not only does she produce a load of content and advice on her social channels but she has formulated a much-loved skincare range for Primark that has flown off the shelves.Alex LOVES skincare and her knowledge is endless. We talk about routines, great products and so much more. It was so great to get a bit of an insight into the world of Alex Steinherr :0)Later on I chat through my recommendations of the week including something really special from Emma Hardie.Cher and I are back on Wednesday. Have a great week in the meantime xx

Mel B is in the studio being super honest ahead of two incredible events where she'll be speaking openly about all aspects of her life including her experience of being in a violent relationship.
