Your North West Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 56)

THAT’S HANDY! I was intrigued to try Margaret Dabbs’ new Nourishing Hand Wash, a rich foaming hand wash that gently cleanses, hydrates and softens skin. Many a hand wash I’ve encountered focuses on the cleansing aspect but leaves my skin dry and uncomfortable. Not so here. Formulated with hempseed and olive oils it moisturises and protects the skin barrier while turmeric extract soothes redness and inflammation. It also contains white water lily, which boosts skin’s hydration, replenishing even the most chapped, dry sore skin. Plus, I absolutely love the beautiful geranium and mandarin scent. Priced at £8 for a 45ml travel-sized tube. Have a look at margaretdabbs.co.uk TEA FOR TWO Luxury bath and body specialists Noble Isle have partnered with JING Tea on its charming Tea Rose collection. Inspired by the quintessentially English tradition of taking afternoon tea, the range uses Keemu tea leaves sourced from the highly prestigious specialists in luxury tea. Chosen for its fresh and harmonious aroma, the tea is traditionally made using high-quality dried leaves grown in the Anhui province of China, home to the stunning Huang Shan mountain range. As well as being beautifully fragrant, black tea leaves are also rich in tannins and polyphenols to soothe and protect the skin. We recommend the Tea Rose Body Cream, £38 from nobleisle.com TAN-TASTIC After celebrating an impressive 10 years of tan, St. Moriz is launching a range of transparent tan mousses ideal for beginners and experienced bronzers. If, like me, you’re a bit tentative with your tan, you can’t go wrong with the Advanced Pro Formula Shade Control Express Clear Tanning Mousse. It’s been created to provide you with the perfect tone and starts developing after just one hour. The product can be left on the skin until your desired shade is reached and will keep developing even after you’ve rinsed it off, leaving behind a gorgeous glow. Priced at £10.99 and available from boots.com Kelly loves… I was lucky enough to meet Stila UK’s lead make-up artist Sascha Jackson recently to find out more about this cult brand and its products. I have to say, I was mightily impressed, especially at just how perfect most of the range is for brides. So I hardly know where to begin! I think my favourite and a possible life-saver for you on your day is the Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick. Offering full- coverage in a creamy-matte texture, it delivers intense moisture with bold, long- lasting colour that stays in place for up to six hours of continuous wear, no bleed, no transfer, without the need for constant reapplication. It’s weightless on the lips and, enriched with vitamin E and avocado oil, it delivers superb comfort. Priced at £17, check out stila.co.uk for a choice of 10 new shades that have recently joined the original 10. FIT FOR A MAHARAJA Inspired by the iconic Patiala necklace, commissioned in 1928 by Sir Bhupinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala, the new scent from British niche fragrance brand Thameen London features top notes of fresh citrus and sweet aldehyde. It has a heart of orange flower and wild roses, with a smooth base of moss, amber and musk. Like its namesake the necklace, Patiala represents true craftsmanship. Priced at £145 for 50ml.

So, when the Tweezerman Rose Gold Slant Tweezers landed on my desk, I was sold. Brows are a cornerstone in achieving an on-point beauty look, so make sure yours are big-day ready. You could even try this season’s must-have soft bushy brows. Priced at £23, they’re available from tweezerman.co.uk WEDDING RING READY If you’re worried about dry, overworked hands not showing off the wedding ring to its best advantage, check out Leighton Denny’s new Rejuvenate Hand Mask. It works on the same principal as a facial sheet mask, designed for minimal fuss and to be mess-free. The gloves are enriched with vitamin E, shea butter, honey and macadamia seed oil to deeply nourish the skin. Hands are left feeling soft, plumped and revitalised. We put the hand mask to the test.
