Sam Chapman, 40, one half of beauty vlogging sensation PixiWoo, shares her tips on leading a happy, beautiful life…
- ‘Walking is my ultimate feelgood activity. I love being outdoors, there’s something about nature that has an amazing effect on your wellbeing. I especially enjoy being out with all the family in Norwich at the weekends.’
- ‘I designed Real Techniques brushes to give affordable, quality tools to make the most of your make-up. The Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Set (£19.99, boots.com) includes my pick of the must-haves including a Miracle Complexion Sponge to give a smooth finish.’
- ‘While acids sound scary, they can actually be very kind to your skin. Although I don’t use them in every product, I do tend to use those that contain the likes of lactic, glycolic and hyaluronic acids. I am a big fan as some are excellent exfoliants, and others are great moisturisers.’
- ‘Colab Original Dry Shampoo (£3.49, boots.com) is my go-to for days when I want to add a little texture and body to my locks. It’s easy to spritz on and doesn’t show on darker hair. As I don’t like my hair to look overly done, this helps me achieve that undone finish in seconds.’
- ‘In terms of skincare, Sunday Riley products work really well for me. I have dry skin so team up Sunday Riley CEO Rapid Flash Brightening Serum (£70, cultbeauty.co.uk) and CEO Antioxidant Protect + Repair Moisturizer (£60, cultbeauty.co.uk) morning and night. They brighten and nourish my complexion.’
