We also talk about my shift to using an acid exfoliant in the morning, a great new fake tan concept, veg boxes and veganism and there's even mention of some of the books we've been loving. I'm compiling a list of product mentions in the Outspoken Shop on outspokenbeauty.co.uk so you should be able to find all the stuff we love there. (Bear with me while I compile it). I do use affiliate links on that page which means I get a little percentage if you buy from there, but if you'd rather not do it that way, just look at the products and then Google them separately. Enjoy the episode. I'll be back on Sunday xx
