So read on to discover which Cult Beauty products she swears by...
"Like a hug for your skin in a bottle, the ingredients lists reads a little something like this: camellia oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil, rose oil... you get the drift. The scent is dreamy and spa-like and of all the oils I use, this is the one that truly gives gloss without grease."
"The Anasatasia Brow Wiz was an itch I just had to scratch, and I'm bloomin' happy that I did because now I see what all the fuss was about. The nib is tiny, making it easy to mimic brow hairs and the waxy texture sets things in place with a natural smudge of subtle pigment."

"There are no words for how much I love this mask... but I'll try. After slathering this on just the once I was converted. My skin had a glow to it - even sans moisturiser - it was so smooth that skin care sunk in, make up sat well and even my boyfriend remarked on the difference."
"If you want something that holds a curl then adds some, this has tiny little (non-irritating - promise!) fibres in the formula, and the curved brush really encourages a good ol' curl. Plus it really is waterproof; no budging or smudging to be seen here."
"As a contour this ticks every box - blendable, subtle and a cool-toned mix of grey and brown shades which creates a natural looking shadow on the hollows of the face. it's one of those foolproof products that it's difficult to be too heavy handed with - creating just a hint of realistic cheekbone."
"A good sleep-guarantee in a tub. Nuff said. I don't even want to think about how many refills I've gone through; I'm not sure I could count them on one hand. A true gem that I doubt I'll ever be without."
"I can't say enough good things about this brush. I'm not quite sure what makes this better than its rivals, but it glides through my locks and combs out the tangles without a pull or a watery eye in sight."
"My morning skin care weapon of choice, when this pumps out its final blob of cleansing goodness there's always a 'noooooo' that echoes around the flat because my skin just gets so sad without it. Muslined off, it leaves a lovely glow that says 'I went to bed at 7pm' - lies.
