5 mins with Rose-Marie Swift…

September 19, 2015 by loudartford

Rose-Marie Swift is a bit of an eco-hero to me. I love her work as a make-up artist, and also love her strong ethics when it comes to organic beauty. Her product range RMS Beauty is a staple in my professional kit as well as in my personal make-up bag. If you ever have the chance to go and meet her at an event then I highly recommend that you do. I could sit and listen to Rose-Marie for hours; […]

Product of the month – One Love Organics Skin Savior Beauty Balm

August 11, 2015 by loudartford

LOVE. I am currently using this as my make-up remover and I love it. I use it to take my eye make-up off first – it literally lifts it away so no tugging on the delicate eye area. Then I massage it into the rest of my face to dissolve face make-up and daily grime. I use damp cotton pads to remove product from my eyes and then a muslin cloth or flannel to cleanse my face – the cotton pads […]

Little Shop Of Beauty

May 16, 2014 by loudartford

Last Saturday I was asked to give a talk at the Little Shop Of Beauty, a fabulous pop-up boutique in Marylebone. The shop was there from Friday until Sunday and featured a whole host of amazing beauty brands. It was a mix of products for inner and outer beauty. One of my favourite skincare brands Pai was there along with a new one called Silk and Honey which takes things from a different slant. Instead of buying a finished product, you […]

Organic beauty – choosing just one thing…

September 2, 2013 by loudartford

If you are new to organic beauty and want to switch over, the task can seem quite daunting. Don’t think that you have to change everything at once, do it as things run out naturally. This will be better on your wallet initially, and later down the line when everything doesn’t all run out at the same time! One product I do recommend switching now is your body lotion. Think about the surface area you cover when using this product. […]

Product of the week – Josie Maran Argan Infinity Cream

June 7, 2013 by loudartford

This cream is lovely.  I would describe it as a balm, it feels creamy to start then turns to an oil consistency on the skin but it isn’t greasy.  I wanted to try it as it is described as a make-up artist’s must-have, indeed it is.  It is made from Josie Maran’s signature argan oil along with other skin feeding ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba, and mango.  It is a brilliant multi-tasker, Josie has a whole list of […]

Review: Balance Me Skin Brightening Exfoliating Body Polish

October 15, 2012 by loudartford

During the summer months with more skin on show, our bodies tend to get a lot more care and attention.  However as the winter months creep in and the jumpers are piled on, that care and attention can slip.  Hot showers, central heating and cold weather can play havoc with our skin, so we really should be looking after it just as well, even if it is covered up.  I know I am guilty of skipping things like body brushing […]

Rose-Marie Swift comes to London!

October 6, 2012 by loudartford

As soon as I heard that Rose-Marie Swift was coming to London I was excited, she is a real inspiration to me for many reasons.  I love her make-up work, I love her make-up line and I love what she is doing to promote cleaner beauty. I’m glad to say that her visit did not disappoint.  The event, hosted by Content Beauty and Wellbeing (thank you Imelda!) was held at 42Raw on Burlington Gardens, a very apt place to hear […]

Trying to clean my kit up and show green beauty is cool, and that we don’t need harsh, unsustainable or untested chemicals to look good. No hemp skirts in sight!

There was definitely spring in the air today ✨not that I don’t like winter but a little bit of warmer air and some sunshine might do my skin some good!! If your skin is in need of a little boost like mine, creamy blush and highlighters can be an easy way to add a healthy radiant glow - powders can sit in dehydration lines and makes things look worse sometimes.. this is @theorganicpharmacy highlighter before any fingers went in! I love to use fingers to apply - use one to gentle stipple product on and then a clean one to blend ✨how do you apply yours? . . . . . . #skin #winterskin #spring #skincare #makeuptips #beautytips #mua #makeupartist #greenmakeupartist #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #organicbeauty #makeup #highlighter #radiantskin #creamblush
#tbt to this lovely valentines shoot a few years back with @ruifaria_ ❤️❤️ Can’t remember exactly what I used but I’m sure a lipstick for the red and pink and then I think Bella Pierre for the glitter (obvs would make sure it was biodegradable if did it again) ✨ ❤️💚❤️💚❤️hope your evening is full of ❤️ . . . . . . #valentinesday2019❤️ #makeup #valentinesmakeup #glitter #redeyeshadow #redlipstick #organiclipstick #beauty #greenbeauty #organicbeauty #cleanbeauty #mua #makeupartist #greenmakeupartist
#selfcaresunday of course it isn’t all about skincare by any stretch but I do like to do some nice skin stuff on a Sunday :) Tonight I’m actually keeping it so simple though, my skin is feeling sensitive and I’ve got some itchy dehydrated patches.. I’ve cleansed with @beautykitchen Prime Time Cream Cleanser (which I’ve used all week and it’s removed all makeup, washes off easily and feels nice and calming on my skin) and then I’ve gently massaged in some of @mallowandwhite chamomile and lavender oil 💜 these two ingredients are my go-tos whenever my skin is feeling delicate, simple but my skin seems to love them 💜 What’s your Sunday self-care? Image by @felicityingram skin by me :) (this was actually a food shoot and I think this was cream that we used.. lots of skin food in the kitchen..) . . . . . . . #skin #skinfood #skincare #skinroutine #skinregime #organicskincare #greenskincare #cleanskincare #beauty #makeupartist #beautyblog #greenbeautyblog #greenbeautyblogger #faceoil #plantoils
#tbt to this lovely beauty 🌸 the weather can’t make its mind up but I’m seeing lots of little flowers shooting up, the daffodils 🌼 are on their way too - spring is coming 💕 📸 @felicityingram #makeupbyme @stellacreativeartists anyone know this beautiful face? 🙊sorry her name has escaped me.. . . . . . . . #beauty #skin #radiantskin #glowyskin #flowers #edibleflowers #cleanbeauty #greenbeauty #organicbeauty #mua #greenmakeupartist #makeupartist #spring #springbeauty
#newblogpost talking about two beauty recycling programmes available through the wonderful @terracycleuk ♻️ 💚I’m getting slightly obsessed by the possibilities available... crisp and snack packets, pens, dental care, pet food... check them out! ✨back to the beauty... did you know you can recycle lots of your beauty empties at participating @loccitane_uk_ire stores including lipsticks, empty eyeshadow cases and mascara tubes... wipe and face mask wrappers (along with other waste) can be recycled through @garnieruk free programme as well... Any recycling tips?! ♻️♻️ . . . . . #sustainablebeauty #recycling #recycle #packaging #beautypackaging #beauty #makeup #greenbeauty #ecobeauty #makeupartist #greenbeautyblogger #beautyblogger #greenbeautyblog #noplanetb
🍓❤️🍓currently loving this Strawberry Booster from @bybibeauty I’ve been using it on me and a couple of clients and they’ve loved it too 🍓❤️ Just pure cold pressed strawberry oil (waste product from juicing industry ✅)- a couple of drops goes a long way. It works so well under makeup, giving skin a brilliant boost and helping foundation etc to go on smoother, but isn’t really shiny just gives skin a natural glow. I’ve also been using it as a pick-me-up over makeup in the middle of day - especially in this cold weather ❄️my product of the week for sure - and great value £12.50 ✅🍓 How are you beating the ❄️❄️? . . . . . . #skin #skincare #winterskin #sustainablebeauty #cleanbeauty #naturalbeauty #beautyblogger #greenbeauty #greenbeautyblogger #greenmakeupartist #mua #makeupartist
