An Exclusive Black Friday Offer! 15% Off with Fabled By Marie Claire

I'm a Beauty Junkie but you already knew that, what you might not have come to realise is that I am both impatient and very demanding. I want all my favourite beauty brands and products, under one roof - because who really has that much time to shop around or pay for delivery more than once - and I want them shipped to me almost immediately. Enter Fabled by Marie Claire, the one-stop beauty shop that never closes, delivers daily (with multiple options including Ocado - yes really, groceries and make-up in one neat package) and stocks all you could ever need to take care of yourself head to pampered toe. And if that is not enough they also throw in a free copy of the latest Marie Claire magazine (while stocks last) so that you can unwind while putting your latest purchases to the test.

The best way to describe Fabled by Marie Claire (other than utterly wonderful, of course) is a beauty emporium; when I say all my favourite brands and then some, are under one virtual roof (there is also a brick and mortar location in London), I was not kidding. From big names in cosmetics such as Clinique, Lancome, YSL, Burberry and Bobbi Brown; to lesser known and sometimes difficult to source, companies such as Erborian, Cover FX, Fairy Drops and even Maison Margiela - you truly are spoilt for choice. Fabled isn't just a hub of luxury beauty items, here you'll also find household names such as Maybelline, Elegant Touch, Bourjois, nestled alongside everyday essentials such as Tangle Teezer and Burts Bees. Basically once you discover Fabled, you might never step foot inside another beauty store again - you don't know real joy, until you've filled your bathroom cabinet at 11pm in your pyjamas. Bliss.

I know what you are thinking, it doesn't get much better than a late night splurge. Well you are wrong. To make the Fabled experience a little sweeter, I have a very exclusive 15% off code (BFRIDAY15 valid from 12.01am to 11.59pm Sunday 19th of November) for all readers to indulge this Black Friday week, but before you put that code to good use, let me cherry pick a few of my favourite Fabled beauty finds...

Winter is certainly on the horizon and for that reason, Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief, makes my Fabled by Marie Claire beauty hit list. All skin types, be that dry, normal, combination or even oily skin, can and will benefit from this light creme-gel formulation. It quickly re-hydrates the skin without overwhelming, the lighter-than-air texture cools, calms and balances in one quick step. The beauty of this moisturiser is that you can use it as a day cream, a night cream, both, or even as a base for make-up. Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief deserves more air-time than it currently receives and a space upon your bathroom shelf this chilly November.

Everybody should own at least one Charcoal based face mask to deeply cleanse their skin on occasion and in my humble opinion, nothing comes close to Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask. Unlike many others that I have tried, this does not strip nor dry out the skin, and yet it does help to re-balance oily complexions. Due to the active charcoal element, it cleanses deeply and is great to have on hand should you have a break-out or an annoying under the skin blemish. With the festive season on the way and many weeks of indulgence, I fully recommend having it on stand-by for any skin woes.


As most of us will find, the colder weather and conditions may result in drier skin - even if that is just a sensation of tightness - it may be a wise move to consider switching up your foundation formulation to cater to such change? If you find that liquid foundation has a tendency to sit on top of your skin, rather than blend seamlessly, may I suggest trailing Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Foundation? The water-light (and weight) texture, blends like a dream, has the appearance of real skin (aka no cakey tell tale signs) and as it is a Double Wear product you know it boasts serious lasting power.


If like myself you are prone to dry lips and yet you are not ready to forgo lipstick completely, then your next purchase has to be a shade or two (with the discount code it would be rude not to treat yourself) of the Nars Audacious Lipsticks. Not only are they the height of luxury, with chic and sturdy packaging (the magnetic lid closure is so satisfying) but the formulation is truly wonderful: soft yet not overly so, moisturising but long wearing, comfortable to wear and most importantly they will not settle into any dry patches or fine lines. The Nars Audacious Lipsticks are one of the best additions to the world of lipstick in several years, you truly are missing out if you don't own at least one shade. If you are looking for a few colour recommendations, please let me be of assistance: Nars Raquel is my go-to blush nude, Nars Jane is a great everyday, muted pink and Nars Catherine is a wonderful but understated, almost-coral hue.


With the festive season right around the corner, you may be looking for a new fragrance to sport at any upcoming parties, or perhaps you simply fancy something new for no real occasion. An exciting but recent, firm favourite of mine has to be YSL Mon Paris Eau De Parfum; it is soft, sweet, delicate and warming all at the same time, with notes of patchouli and hints of creamy white floral. Think of it as a modern yet adaptable classic: it is as at home with a party dress as it is a winter coat, or of course office wear, and it is one of those rare concoctions that smells wonderful on just about everyone.

Do you own a pan of the ever raved about Bobbi Brown Blush? If not, why not use my exclusive code and add a shade or two to your collection. The silken formula is perfect for all skin types and conditions as it glides over the skin, all without emphasising textured skin such as enlarged pores and fine lines. If that is not enough, each shade is wonderfully pigmented and stays in place all day long. My current favourite shade has to Bobbi Brown Blush in Nectar as it instantly brightens and perks up even the dullest of complexions. Try it, I promise it won't disappoint.
