Jo’s Scent Notes – Join the ‘So You Think You Know Rose?’ workshop at Barnes Fragrance Fair 2025 💐 The Barnes Fragrance Fair – a must-visit London event for perfume-lovers – returns on 17th May, taking place across several venues in Barnes. This year, a highlight of the fair will be a deep dive into one of perfumery’s most romantic and luscious ingredients: the rose. In a dedicated rose masterclass, Jo will be joined by VIP guests to explore the depth, complexity, and beauty of natural rose oils, showcasing how this iconic ingredient is used in fragrance creation. The session will spotlight a very special rose extract from the botanical ingredient masters at LMR-Naturals, tracing its journey from field to flacon. You will have the chance to smell the raw ingredient and experience how it comes to life in finished perfumes 😍 Link in bio for more details - see you there 💖✨ @barnesfragrancefair #beautybibleloves #scentnotes #barnesfragrancefair

Fab Find of the Week: @wildsmithskin favourites (in new compostable jars) 🫶 We’ve been patting Wildsmith Skin on the back for their commitment to sustainability ever since the brand launched, but this is a real packaging breakthrough. But this packaging is really something else: an industry-leading form of ‘bio-based compostable packaging’, which is created from natural microbes. Yes, you read that correctly. And no, we don’t quite get it, either – but we can tell you that the packaging feels lovely to the touch, with a pleasingly soothing finish. Once you’ve finished the product, simply put this in your home or community composting bin, and nature starts to break it down. Two products are so far available in Vivomer packaging: the fabulous Wildsmith Skin Active Repair Copper Peptide Cream, and the generous tub of Wildsmith Skin Ceramide Repair Balm ✨ Link in bio for our full review 💕 #beautybibleloves #fabfindoftheweek #wildsmith #skincare #sustainability

Beauty Steal @opi RapidDry nail polish 💅

Beauty Steal @opi RapidDry nail polish 💅 How many times have we been promised, down the years, that a nail polish would dry instantly? Wouldn’t smudge or dent, right after applying? And how many times have we been disappointed…? All that is behind us, with the debut of O.P.I. RapidDry nail polish, the first truly to deliver on its quick-drying pledge, in our experience. Somewhat cynically, Jo first applied one coat – and it was dry within a few seconds. Cagily, a day later, she applied a second coat – and a glossy top coat soon, after – and again, completely rock solid in a couple of blinks of an eye. This is actually a little bit life-changing: something you can whizz onto your nails to make them look shiny and groomed right before you head out the door.

Beauty Bible Loves... @trinnylondon Trinity 😍 Trinny has smashed it again, with the launch of the new Trinny London Trinity double-ended blusher/bronzer/highlighter. Or rather, smooshed it… These are incredibly easy-to-use, multi-tasking duos, with a super-creamy, really blendable texture – and yet, once there, they’re there. They can be used as blusher and highlighter – but also on lips and eyes, for a really seamless, tone-on-tone look. Link in bio to read more 🫶 #beautybibleloves #trinnylondon #beauty

🌟 Fab Find of the Week: @granado Exuberance Hand Cream Trio 🥰 Having a little sniff around Covent Garden – a lovely thing to do, on a sunny afternoon – we visited for the first time the new Granado boutique on (aptly enough) Floral Street. What a treat for the senses. If you don’t know them, Granado is a Brazilian brand which landed in the UK around three years ago, and has really made a colourful, fragrant splash in the world of fragrance and bodycare. There are now a couple of other Granado boutiques – at Ham Yard Hotel, and on Chelsea’s King’s Road – and they all offer the same immersive sensorial experience, alive with colour and scent. The products are good value – but we are especially taken right now with this Granado Exuberance Hand Cream Trio, featuring a really decent 50g (handbag-worthy) size of their luscious yet not greasy hand creams, in three different and exotic scents.

🌟 WIN @suqqu_europe make-up and skincare award-winners, worth £345 🌟 We’re delighted that one super-lucky winner will be treated to a capsule make-up collection (including THREE Beauty Bible Award-holders), plus a sensational skincare ‘star’ from this cult favourite brand. In the frenzy about new start-up beauty brands, it can be easy to forget ‘the greats’. Working on our hush-hush new book project for next year, we’ve been looking back over 28 years of Beauty Bible, and been reminded of some truly great names. SUQQU is one of those greats. (Say it ‘Soo-koo’, BTW – and it means, ‘a woman rising to her full height…’) Not that SUQQU is ever really off our radar, actually, because you’ll find several of their products in our kit. The very definition of ‘modern luxury’, SUQQU’s textures are sublime and their shades so, so wearable. Because of this, many of the products have scooped Beauty Bible Awards, which for us is the ultimate test of brilliance. One lucky winner could get their hands on: 💫 SUQQU Comfort Lip Fluid (normally £34), in Shade ‘Fog’. 💫 SUQQU Blurring Powder Blush (£40) 💫 SUQQU Gel Eyeliner Pen (£21) 💫 SUQQU Mascara (£30) 💫 SUQQU Vialume Cream (£220 for 30g) To stand a chance of winning this MOST gorgeous prize, simply fill in your details via the link in bio 🫶 #beautybibleloves #prizedraw #suqqu

✨ Jo’s Scent Notes on @florislondon Ledger Series Rose Geranium is up for a Jasmine Award! ✨ We are delighted that Jo’s Scent Notes has been shortlisted for a Jasmine Award from The Fragrance Foundation, in the Short Piece category. In case you missed it – or would like to read again – tap the link in our bio 🫶 💬 “Some fragrances are like Tardises. They can whisk you at warp speed through time and space, hurtling you back to people and places… in this case, my parents’ bathroom. Maybe it’s a little weird to want to wear a perfume that reminds you of your dad’s shaving soap – kept in a wooden container, in which he swirled a badger brush (sorry, badgers!) – but quite aside from the dad-ness of it, I’ve always adored Floris Rose Geranium. As did Marilyn Monroe.“ #scentnotes #beautybible #beautybibleloves #fragrance #fragrancelovers #jasmineaward #fragrancefoundation

Fab Find of the Week: @olverum new skincare 💖 We are long-term fans of Olverum, here. (And we know many of you are, too.) This is a multi-Beauty Bible Award-winning brand with a fascinating histor: their original, iconic product, a wellbeing-boosting bath oil, was created in 1931 in Germany’s Mosel Valley, featuring mood-lifting, energising essential oils – including Siberian fir, juniper and rosemary; – it took its name from the Latin oleum verum, which translates as ‘true oil’. But since then, the team at Olverum has launched lots of new products that draw on the spirit of the brand, but take it in new directions – always with fabulous smells, because that’s what so many of us love it for. So – ta-dah! – we’re happy to announce that three new skincare products have just launched, to sit alongside their existing Pure Radiance Facial Oil 🫶 Link in bio to read more ⭐️ #fabfindoftheweek #beautybibleloves #beautybloggers #skincare #beautyandwellbeing #olverum

Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: @makeuprevolution Superfix Grip Primer 🌟💫 For various reasons, we have been immersed in the world of primers this week, checking out some of the bargains out there. Revolution Superfix Super Grip Primer has gripped us. Literally. It has an unexpectedly sticky texture, after the gel formula has been on skin a minute – but that’s the point. Make-up seems to cling to it, and stay put longer – which is what we definitely want in a primer. Link in bio for our full review 💖 #beautybibleloves #revolution #primer #weekendsteal

7 Secrets of Beauty & Wellbeing: Catarina de Avillez, founder of @thenaturalafrica 💖 We reckon you’ve probably learned about The Natural Africa by now, on Beauty Bible. They’ve scooped Beauty Bible wins, and Sarah and Jo are both recent converts to the newest product, Kalahari Melon Seed Oil. The brand is founded by Andrew Franks and Catarina de Avillez (she’s pictured above), referencing their African roots; together, they’ve created a brand which focuses on sustainably sourced indigenous medicinal plants from that continent. We are always fascinated to hear how busy beauty names integrate their different roles, and stay balanced – so we asked Catarina to share her ‘7 Secrets’. We loved reading them – and we think you will, too. Link in bio 🌟 #beautybible #7secrets #beautyandwellbeing #awardwinners #beautybibleawards

WIN @tammasonskincare Nourishing Hand Care Gift Boxes (10 to give away, worth £44 each) ✨ Nobody does hand TLC quite like this Beauty Bible Award-winning, British brand – and we’re delighted to be able to share these sublime, fragrant handcare duos with our readers. Since we first got our – um – hands on Tam Mason’s products, we’ve been fully signed-up members of tje fan club for this stylish brand’s skin-nurturing offerings. In fact, Jo has described the Tam Mason Nourishing Hand Oil – which features in this prize, albeit with a different scent – as ‘a veritable miracle-worker.’ As with all the range, the Hand Oil is 100% natural, featuring softening shea butter and oat oils, vitamin E to condition, plus kiwi seed oil to moisturise. The concept of a hand oil might seem strange to you, but here’s the deal: you apply a few drops to the back of your hand and gently massage into skin. It truly is nourishing, yet doesn’t leave hands greasy – and we love to massage it into nails and cuticles, too. The oil that is exclusively featured in the Tam Mason Nourishing Hand Care Gift Box prize, meanwhile, is infused with glorious, uplifting neroli rather than the black pepper, lavender and verbena oil essential oils that fragrance in the Award-winner. And you know what? We like this even better. Link in bio to enter ⭐️ #beautybibleloves #prizedraw #handcare #giftboxes #handoil #nourishing #selfcare

Fab Find of the Week: @bronnley Soap Gift Sets 🧴 Soap-lovers, rejoice. (Well, fans of lovely smelly things, rejoice – but for now, this is especially exciting news for soap fans.) Bronnley are BACK. This is a truly fabled name in British beauty, around since 1884 when James Bronnley, who’d studied soap-making and perfumery in Paris, launched the company. Since then, its fortunes have ebbed and flowed – but after a time in the doldrums, our friends at Heathcote & Ivory bought the brand last year and have restored it to its former glory – with bells on.

Jo’s Scent Notes: @hermes Barénia ✨ 💬 “So, here’s a weird one. I’m wearing a fragrance on which I get complimented, repeatedly, every time I wear it out. ‘Oooh, you smell great!’ ‘What perfume are you wearing?’ ‘Wow, what an amazing smell!’ And yet, I can barely smell it on my own skin. I love Hermès Barénia at first spritz, enjoying its cool, mossy, almost a metallic, cold edge. I like it as it warms up, too, becoming soft, buttery, supple and suede-like, with just a hint of fruitiness – boozy fruits, like raisins soaking in alcohol, waiting to be churned into the most delicious ice cream. As it unfolds, there’s a definite touch of the ‘Mummy’s handbag’ about this fairly recent launch – a genre of fragrance I adore.“ Link in bio to read Jo’s full review of this beautiful fragrance 🫶 #beautybibleloves #fragrance #hermes #scentnotes

A @spacenk way to celebrate National Fragrance Week (and their scented news...) 🌟 If you love fragrance, you might already know that this is National Fragrance Week. But there’s one scent destination that definitely needs to be on your radar, and that’s Space NK’s Fragrance Library pop-up, running from tomorrow at The Vinyl Factory in London’s Soho. Last night, Jo had the honour of hosting a Space NK dinner for journalists and truly amazing perfume brand founders, most of whom had flown in specially for this event, including Kilian, Phlur, Dedcool, DS&Durga, Ellis Brooklyn and VYRAO. It really marked the moment that this treasured retailer becomes a serious destination for fragrance, taking it to the next scented level as a place to explore exciting brands and scented newness.

Fab Find of the Week - @jomalonelondon Care Collection ⭐️ We may never emerge from the bathroom… because Jo Malone London have launched an utterly blissful bodycare collection which is encouraging us to lavish much-needed TLC on areas of our bodies which have been hidden under layers for too, too long. For this sublime seven-piece line-up, they took inspiration from the rituals enjoyed at Britain’s Roman baths. (Indeed, from next month, there will be treatments at London’s AIRE Ancient Baths, a spa which takes its inspiration from Roman, Greek and Ottoman bathing rituals. And we can’t wait for that.)

Our latest beauty steal is @rimmellondon Oh My Gloss! Butter Me Up ❤️ Oh, but there is a flurry of truly great lip products launching right now. Actually, standing at the Superdrug counter yesterday, shopping for cotton pads and having a mooch, it was almost overwhelming, wondering where to start. Except we had the advantage of having tried this brilliant glossy balm at the CEW Product Demo evening last week (and this will not be the last ‘find’ we share with you from that evening of dipping, dabbing and trialling). On the strength of that brief encounter, we sought it out – and we need to share it with you now. This really does have a delicious, balm-y texture that is delivering relief to lips that have really and truly suffered, this enduringly cold winter. It’s glossy without being sticky, and we love the angled applicator – a dot squeezed from the tube is all you need to cover lips with a sheer veil of glossy, super-comfy colour.
