Hi everyone, I'm Leanne and I put myself in charge of securing all the goodies for our first ever Second Act event taking place on Monday 29th June. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it.
My mission: Find products that I would love if I bought a ticket. Thankfully, I get to go for free as I'll be schmoozing on the night (come say hi!), no doubt gushing about all the products in the goodie bag.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in a bit of a beauty and style rut lately, you are certainly not alone. Midlife brings a wave of changes - to our skin, our hair, our sleep, and our confidence. Often, the products that worked for us in our twenties and thirties just don't quite hit the mark anymore, leaving us standing in the beauty aisle feeling completely overwhelmed.
That is exactly why the HELLO! Second Act live podcast event isn't just about the life-changing conversation between Ateh Jewel and Jo Good this Monday 29th June at London's Bankside Hotel. It’s also an opportunity to completely reset your self-care routine.
We promised you a show-stopping goodie bag, and we meant it. We have curated an absolute powerhouse of cult classics, high-tech skincare, hair rescuers, and wellness essentials designed specifically to help you reclaim your radiance from the inside out.
Here is your exclusive first look at the incredible lineup waiting at your seat:
The Ultimate Skincare Re-Boot
To get your skin glowing and combat midlife dryness or pigmentation, we’ve packed the bag with heavy-hitters that actually deliver results.
From the pioneers of custom, dermatologist-led skincare, this ultra-nourishing cleanser is specifically engineered to respect your skin barrier, leaving your face feeling clean, calm, and beautifully balanced.
Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Overnight Treatment (sample size)
The ultimate bedtime luxury for mature skin. This rich, high-performance treatment works alongside your skin’s natural nightly rhythm to deeply hydrate, strengthen the moisture barrier, and target fine lines so you wake up looking plump, rested, and radiant.
The ultimate multi-purpose cult classic. Slather it on dry elbows, hands, or use it as a high-intensity face mask for an instant hit of deep hydration.
A true game-changer for midlife complexions. This powerhouse formula is designed to completely rejuvenate, deeply hydrate, and target signs of aging, giving your skin that coveted, lit-from-within glow.
Super Facialist Salicylic Acid Anti-Blemish Cleansing Wash
Midlife hormonal shifts can sometimes bring unexpected adult breakouts. This clarifying wash uses salicylic acid to deeply cleanse pores and clear away blemishes while remaining gentle on the skin.
A deeply restorative cream fuelled by organic, hand-harvested seaweed extract. It works to intensely hydrate, support skin cell renewal, and leave your complexion looking plump and revitalised.
A cult-favourite, multi-tasking savior packed with antioxidant-rich wild rosehip seed oil. This luxurious little pot can be used as a deeply nourishing cleanser, a one-minute glow mask, or a rich salve to instantly soothe and brighten dry, lackluster patches.
Fluctuating hormones can play havoc with our hair texture, leading to thinning, dryness, and a loss of volume. These targeted treatments are designed to give your locks their bounce back.
Activated by heat during your blow-dry, this brilliant styling serum utilises marine nutrients to shield your strands from heat damage, banish frizz, and lock in a glassy, healthy shine.
Tangle Teezer The Mini Ultimate Detangler Hair Brush
The ultimate tool for fragile hair. This compact, travel-friendly version of the iconic brush features patented teeth that effortlessly glide through wet or dry hair without tugging, snapping, or causing breakage. Plus, it comes in gorgeous vibrant colours.
BBB London Clear Brow Lock Invisible Brow Styling Jelly With 24hr+ Hold
Keep your brows perfectly groomed, lifted, and framed all day long. This invisible formula delivers a clean, polished look with serious styling power that won't flake or budge.
Created by experts including Dr Megan Rossi, The Gut Health Doctor to nourish your microbiome. These delicious bars are packed with gut-loving ingredients to support digestion and overall wellness.
Award-winning daily electrolyte tablets designed to rehydrate your body four times faster than water alone. This smart blend features six essential minerals to keep away dehydration headaches, brain fog, and muscle tension without any sugary crash.
This isn't just a goodie bag; it’s a complete kit to help you step into your second act feeling pampered, confident, and inspired. The value of these products alone far exceeds the price of admission - making this the ultimate gift to yourself.
Arrivals start at 6pm Monday 29th June at the Bankside Hotel, with the live recording kicking off at 6:30pm. Come for the wisdom, stay for the community, and leave with a bag full of luxury treats.
