Spring Glow: My Beauty Faves & London’s Must-Dos
Hello, girlies!
For those of you who celebrated Easter, I hope you had a lovely break and fun celebrations! And for those who didn’t, I hope you’re soaking up this gorgeous weather we’ve been having.
Isn't it just so exciting to see longer days, the beautiful blossom trees, and sometimes the sunshine that makes everything feel just a little bit brighter? Honestly, I’ve got that extra boost of excitement every day now spring is truly here, and it’s contagious!
This month, I’m bringing you all the must-know moments and beauty faves, including:
✔ My favourite balayage of the month — soft, dimensional, and full of sunshine vibes ✔ The beauty product that’s been making me feel extra pretty lately (a real glow-up essential!)
✔ Cool PoP uP in London
Get comfy, and let’s dive in!
Favourtie Balayage of the month
This balayage is one of my recent favourites — perfect for spring/summer.
It has just the right amount of brightness with a soft, buttery tone that feels fresh but natural. I created it using my LC Signature Balayage technique, followed by a toner using Redken Shades EQ 8N and 9. The result? A beautifully blended shade with a luminous gloss that makes the hair look super healthy and radiant. Honestly, it’s giving sun-kissed luxury.
Glow In A Bottle
If you’re feeling a little pale and craving that glow, let me put you on to something: the Bondi Sands Tanning Gel is a total game changer. It gives you the most natural, sun-kissed tan without the drama no streaks, no weird smell, and it fades beautifully after 4–5 days. I usually just apply one layer, and it gives the perfect touch of warmth without being too much.
Since I started using it, I’ve noticed my makeup sits so much better it’s like an instant confidence boost. I’ve recommended it to a few of my clients too, and they’ve been obsessed. Honestly, it might be one of the best beauty products I’ve tried in a long time. Glow season is here, and this is my secret weapon.
