THE FIRST THING THAT

PASSES MY LIPS IN THE DAY

IS ... Warm water with lemon.

THE LAST THING THAT

PASSES MY LIPS AT NIGHT...

Tequila... just kidding! It’s tea.

MY M AKE - UP ROU T INE...

Takes me from 15 to 45 minutes, depending

on the look. I love Patrick Ta’s Silky Lip

Crèmes, and I always finish with a spritz

of Cacharel Yes I Am.

THE CRAZIEST THING I’VE DONE IN

THE NAME OF BEAUTY IS... Hanging

off the side of the bed or couch when

I’m really tired to get my blood flowing.

It adds colour to your cheeks, too.

I DEAL WITH STRESS BY... Going to the

gym or boxing, as an alternative to therapy.

MY GREATEST BEAUTY DISCOVERY IS...

Coconut oil. It’s good for moisturising skin,

chapped lips, cuticles. I’m not tied to any

brand, but I make sure it’s organic virginoil.

TELLUSA BEAUTY SECRET...

Use cold spoons to get rid of

puffy lids and bags under

the eyes.

MY WORST BEAUTY HABIT IS... Not

getting enough sleep or water. I think it’s

part of the ‘new mum effect’. Beauty is as

much about what we put into our bodies.

Another sin is forgetting to take off my

make-up. I’m so tired I just forget about it.

THE BEST BEAUTY ADVICE I’VE EVER

RECEIVED WAS... Less is more, and no

make-up can compete with what inner

confidence can do.

MY LAST BEAUTY TREATMENT

WA S ... A facial by Shani Darden. We

have such a blast. Her Skin Care Texture

Reform Serum has transformed my skin.
