Episode 13 - On The Sofa with British Mums and Vicki Ashlin from The Big Beauty Scoop! In this episode, Emma & Katie from British Mums sit down with the lovely Vicki Ashlin to talk all things beauty, and it’s such an insightful, informative and interesting chat. Vicki tells us why she founded The Big Beauty Scoop and how proud she is of the platform for being able to offer women impartial and honest beauty advice. We also dive into Vicki’s beauty secrets, her top products and her self-care regime, and we even talk about how your skin needs change as you go through life. Katie chimes in with her 90s make up malfunctions and fave local beauty suppliers and Emma quizzes Vicki on teenage beauty and how we, as mums, should be supporting our children with products suitable for their skin. This is honestly such an interesting episode, and we’re all now desperate to hand over our make-up bags to Vicki for advice – we predict an upcoming British Mums event of that nature!https://www.facebook.com/groups/1461483733966857/?ref=share_group_linkhttps://britishmums.com/dubai/upcoming-events/https://www.beautysolutions-me.com/brands/the-light-salon/the-light-salon-boost-led-mask.htmlhttps://sculptedbyaimee.co.uk/products/eyeliner-duohttps://sculptedbyaimee.co.uk/products/bare-basics-palettehttps://amzn.eu/d/16fJ8dKhttps://kjserums.com/products/the-primer-hydrating-mask-5-x-25mlhttps://kjserums.com/products/argireline-peptide-lift?_pos=1&_sid=43cbe8517&_ss=rhttps://paulassecrets.com/products/clean-unscentedhttps://www.instagram.com/doctor.halawi?igsh=MXNhdHhydnppbGRpYg==https://asteronline.com/acretin-0-05-cream-30-g.html
