July 09, 2024 My Tried and Tested Summer Holiday Beauty Edit
In this episode I'm listing some of my favourite summer holiday products. (It's like one big rain fest in the UK at the moment so I'm indulging in a bit of escapism).
I can absolutely vouch for all of the products I talk about. They do what they say they will and many of them are an utter pleasure to use and fill me with instant holiday joy.
From fragrance to spf to a super light but hydrating body oil to the product that will keep your skin in check, I've got you covered.

July 06, 2024 Katie Sturino - The Mega Babe Who Oprah Loves and Who Wants You to Wear Your Bikini With Pride!
My guest this week is the perfect woman to listen to if you're already getting stressed at the thought of wearing a bikini this summer.
Katie Sturino is a body acceptance advocate, founder of the amazing brand Megababe (they do the best anti-chafe stick in the business) and author of the brilliant book "Body Talk".
During the episode we talk about the moment that Katie realised that it wasn't just her who was unhappy about her body but also a lot of the women who had the bodies that she dreamt. In short, women had been taught to feel unfulfilled with their bodies and THAT was the problem. Cue a shift in mentality and the beginning of Katie's journey as a body acceptance ambassador who has been so influential that Oprah invited her on her show to relay her message to the nation.
Katie also talks about how to stop people commenting on your weight, how to feel good about yourself and we also talk about how she has made the most amazing business (and the ups and downs of that).
Katie is funny, outspoken, irreverent and will make you feel good about yourself. I adore her and am so excited about this episode.

July 04, 2024 Minipod - Makeup Recommendations From One of The World's Top Makeup Artists!
This week I had the honour of interviewing Lans Nguyen-Grealis, one of the world's truly great makeup artists. Every time you see Raye or Paloma Faith looking fabulous, you can bet your bottom dollar that Lans was the woman who made them up.
Anyway, following our amazing interview (coming soon), Lans let me have a good old look at her (huge) makeup kit and also made some excellent recommendations which I'm sharing with you on this week's minipod.
I'll also be talking about the affordable cabinet that I use for fragrance storage, a really affordable and beautiful high street scent and more.

Enjoy xx

June 25, 2024 Sallyha Din - The Bike Loving, Helmet Proof Beauty Expert Who Was Disowned By Her Family as She Bravely Forged Her Own Path!
When I started Outspoken Beauty I knew that beauty was the perfect starting point for deeper conversations and this week's guest is the perfect example of this.

Sallyha Din has a huge story to tell about family, culture and the challenges of shrugging off others' expectations in order to forge your own path. This is the story of how a woman who was expected to abide by strict cultural rules went her own way and reclaimed her body, her image and her passions.

Sallyha Din is a passionate motorcyclist and we'll hear about how this came about and the path it has taken her on. Of course there is a huge beauty angle, with Sallyha chatting through her very favourite products, including those that stay perfectly put under her biker's helmet.

Here are some of the products that Sallyha mentions:

Caudalie Beauty Elixir
Aurelia Miracle Cleanser & Anti Pollution Mask
Haus Labs Blush
OPI Nail Envy
Palette Nail Polish

Please do follow Sallha on Insta @sallyhadin - her pictures and content are beautiful and she makes me want to get on a motorbike and zoom into distant lands.
