Your backstage pass to the beauty secrets that actually work

If you've ever fallen down a 2am Google spiral - searching, 'How do I fix my skin?' - this book is for you. This is an unfiltered diary from a beauty editor who's tried every product, figured out what's worth the hype and made the mistakes so you don't have to.

Drawing on my LBB (Little Beauty Book) of world-class experts and A-list celebrities, in these pages I cut through the myths and the marketing fluff to tell you what's worth it - and where to save your money. I share my personal breakthroughs, including how I finally ended my bad-skin days, as well as my biggest beauty regrets. Put. The. Tweezers. Down.

Each chapter is packed with judgment-free advice, laugh-out-loud honesty and practical wisdom you can actually use. From cheat sheet glossaries to answering letters from tricky teens, new mums, menopause and beyond, I'm here to help you feel your absolute best in your own skin, at any age or stage of life.

Diary of a Beauty Editor is for anyone who has ever stared in the mirror and thought, 'Where do I even start?' Get ready to look at yourself, and your beauty routine, in a whole new light.
