Janine's skincare routine
“I always cleanse using Olivanna’s Soothing Seed Oils Cleansing Balm, £44 which is my favourite as the scent is heaven!”
“I follow with our Olivanna Bakuchiol Eye Cream, £58, then our Vitamin C Brightening Serum, £84. I finish with the Tata Harper Fortifying Moisturiser, £104.”
“The most expensive beauty product that I’m currently trying is the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, £298, as it was recommended to me by a friend.”
Total: £878
Janine's hair care routine:
“I wash my hair every other day. Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, £28 and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, £14 are amazing. It’s the best conditioning treatment and leaves my hair so silky afterwards.”
“I love curling tongs, and I recently fell in love with my latest purchase – the Dyson Airwrap, £479.99.
“If I get my hair styled in London, I go to Limoz Logli in Chelsea. Limoz is a real talent, he creates a beautiful blend of colour with highlights.”
Total: £521.99
Janine's makeup routine:
“I like a natural, dewy look. I use Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer, £35, followed by Dior Forever Matte Foundation, £45 as it’s super lightweight and gives great coverage.”
“I use Gucci Mascara, £31 as it’s the only one I have found that lengthens without clogging. Dior Backstage Eye Palette, £43 is amazing, and I prefer a cream blush; Chanel Rouge Frais, £37 is my current favourite.
“I don’t wear lipstick as I prefer a balm, and Laneige Lip Balm, £16 is always in my makeup bag. Finally, I finish with Claudalie's Beauty Elixir Setting Spray, £15.
“The best makeup tip I ever received was to place a few drops of moisturiser onto your foundation brush and lightly buff your make-up mid-afternoon. This leaves your skin with an amazing dewy glow, without the need to reapply.”
Total: £222
Janine's body care routine:
“I always shower as I’m super busy and prefer to feel invigorated and awake. I use REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash, £27 or Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Shower Gel, £49, as I love both these scents.”
“I buff my skin twice a week with my Omorovicza Gold Sugar Scrub, £65, followed by a body oil as they are more hydrating for my skin. I’m currently using Chanel's Gold Body Oil, £85 as it has a gorgeous shimmer for that sun-kissed look.
Total: £226
