Outspoken Beauty

I was looking through my interview file the other day and my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I realised that I had somehow forgotten to publish this interview with Cally Beaton which we recorded last year. I mean I LOVED this interview. It inspired me so much and as we did it I was thinking about how much she was going to inspire you as well.
Anyway, I'm so very glad that I did find it and that you're getting the chance to listen to this brilliant comedian and author. When we recorded she was promoting her truly brilliant book Namaste Motherf**kers which is now celebrating its 1st birthday. If you haven't read it you simply must.
During the episode Cally talks about how she made the life changing decision to become a comedian at 45 (Joan Rivers told her that she should be one!!) and how she radically reinvented herself in midlife.
This is exactly what SO many of us need to hear and I just know that Cally will show you that we're only just getting started, whatever our age!!

Beauty Editor Perdita Nouril is back and this week we're doing a deep dive into some of the misconceptions around K Beauty.
We're talking about what Korean beauty experts REALLY think about topical PDRN, how many steps are really in a typical Korean skincare routine and why the trending Korean beauty product that you use in the UK may not have quite the same formula as the original.
Any topics you'd like us to get to the bottom of? Let us know with a DM or email nicola@outspokenbeauty.co.uk

I was so sad to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton and really wanted to pay tribute to her.
In this episode I'm talking about why if there was ever an example of an Outspoken Beauty it's Dolly.
I discuss the person who inspired her style, her refusal to please anyone but herself with her appearance, her beauty habits, why she loved Vaseline, her scent, her love of wigs and so much more.
I truly think that we all need to be a bit more Dolly and show up in the world in a way that makes us happy. Dolly never wanted to be fashionable. She created her own style and it made her an icon.

Bryony and I are having a long overdue catch up. The last time we saw each other was when we found ourselves on the same Eurostar to Paris...what are the chances!
This week we're chatting about:
My very strict and feisty therapist
Siblings
Paris adventures
What happens when you get friends from different parts of your life together
Brilliant, affordable makeup
Lots more

Enjoy xx

Perdita Nouril and I are back for a new season and we are two women on a mission. We've always delved into beauty but now we're putting on our journalistic detective hats and we are DEEP DIVING.
This all started when I was introduced to a report that showed that at least four major skincare brands were selling SPFs that when tested were shown not to contain UVA protection, even though they claimed that they did on the labels. Perdita and I are calling time on BS and are unearthing the brands, products, trends and ingredients that are proven and that are worth your precious time and money.
