Bringing in a new week (and a depressing one for many, because it’s “back to school” week) with lots of really gorgeous beauty finds. I’d draw particular attention to the REN offer that’s currently running at M&S Beauty; a selection of six luxury travel samples and a white bag with the purchase of any two REN products. (Excluding, I think, body washes?) My picks would most definitely be the new Rosa Centafolia Cleansing Balm and also the Vita Mineral Emollient Rescue Cream, just launched, which I think will be a huge hit over winter for chapped skin and raw faces! Here’s what you get in the free gift:

Nice! It includes the new cleansing gel and some great skincare samples as well as the classic Rose Otto body lotion and body wash. The gift is HERE – you have to manually add it to your basket.

Other nice bits in this month’s beauty pick include the new Clarins Face & Blush Powder, which you’ll have seen in last week’s post, perhaps, and NEOM’s gorgeous room spray. I’m into my room sprays at the moment – I go through random phases when I don’t like to have candles burning. (I’m neurotic about health and safety when my head is full of essay notes and other stresses!)

Anyway, have a watch – the next video will be a tutorial on the makeup that I’m wearing in this one! Clever, eh? Oh, and thanks to everyone who liked my hair – it wasn’t styled, just left to dry naturally. I give all credit to the Bonacure Treatment – it leaves my hair really very glossy and nice. And also John Spanton, my colourist, because he weaves in those blonde tones so very well. I’m due a visit, John – watch out!
