Hair Director: Renya Xydis for Cloud Nine
It’s “50’s inspired, but it feels more like 2050” says Lydia Pearson.
Renya Xydis and her Cloud Nine army of session stylists whipped up a frenzy of colourful hair piled high on top of model’s heads in an artfully dishevelled up-do inspired by Hitchcock heroine Tippi Hedren’s icy blonde French roll in ‘The Birds”.
Birthdays are always a tough time for me. I love the presents and cake, but everything else about clocking up another year is rather depressing. I argued with myself for weeks about what post I would put up today (my birthday) and it occurred to me that I am one of those people who some consider ‘impossible’ to buy a gift for. I think that is ridiculous because I want everything, but there may be some people out there who are currently in a similar situation. Maybe your birthday is fast approaching, or you have a gift giving event for someone else that is ‘impossible’. Well, fear not. There are so many great beauty buys that would make any woman squeal with joy. Continue Reading

Everyone has their own opinion on what skincare should do and be, but for me it’s all about aiming for perfection. I don’t want skincare that does the bare minimum and let’s me age gracefully. I only want to use skincare that WORKS – constantly improving my skin and getting it to function at it’s very best. That’s why I’m sharing with you the best vegan skincare brands.
People often confuse my choice to be vegan as somehow meaning I don’t care about my aesthetics any more. They couldn’t be more wrong! My strict standards for top performing skincare isn’t lessened by my cruelty-free choices. If anything, it makes my standards even higher.
There’s a misconception that cruelty-free and vegan skincare is unable subpar; that they’re less effective than animal-based skincare formulations. While this may have been the case decades ago when vegan skincare exclusively meant “natural” products with little to no scientific basis, skincare development has come a long way since then. Don’t get me wrong, there are still hundreds of natural skincare brands out there that do exactly what I don’t want – they don’t improve your skin, they just make it feel and smell nice – and there is a market for those. Not everyone is deathly afraid of aging like me. However, if you strive for clear, healthy and progressively improving skin despite the years passing us by, than I have exactly what you need.
My list of top performing skincare brands will introduce you to the changemakers. The hard-working, highly efficient skincare that allows you to take charge of your own aging appearance. And it just so happens they’re also the best vegan skincare brands too! Continue Reading
