Frankie Graddon

I am joined by the beautiful Frankie Graddon, head of Fashion & Beauty at The Pool, where she has been for over 3 years. Prior to this she was also at Stella Magazine...

1/ Trinny London Stack

It's so exciting and wonderful to see when someone who joins me in the TRINNY TAXI has a stack in their makeup stash! Frankie's stack consists of Miracle Blur (£26), Lip Treat in Anna (£20) and Eye2Eye in Mystery (£18).

2/ Bobbi Brown Longwear Sparkle Stick Eyeshadow, Molten Bronze (£23.50)

These sparkle sticks seem to have been limited edition and are no longer available. However Bobbi Brown do create some lovely cream shadows. As you all know I really do belive in cream products over powder products. They blend so much more seamlessly.

3/ Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Long Wear Brow Pencil (£30)

I use the Bobbi Brown brow gel often. This pencil looks very interesting as I usually tend to only use a gel and occasionally a brow pommade. I do love how this pencil has a spooley on the other end... Very practical.

4/ Hair by Sam McKnight Cool Girl (£25)

I love the instant volume effect this texturising spray gives the hair. It also has a gorgeous scent that isn't too overpowering. I must get my hands on a bottle!

5/ Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Paint-On Liquid Lip Colour, Vinyl, Lava Flow (£26)

A bright red liquid lipstick which will stay put all day. Almost like a stain, Frankie swears by it. Very handy if you don't like to apply a red lip throughout the day.

6/ Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturiser SPF 30 (£37)

I used to use the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation as it was the lightest foundation they used to do. Frankie loves the Les Beiges tinted moisturiser but says that although it gives you a lovely a glow it definitely needs a concealer to cover any redness and blemishes.

7/ Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic Blusher in Pillow Talk (£30)

A terracotta blusher that Frankie uses in place of a bronzer. Almost as a two in one. Although I personally don't use poweder blushers and bronzers this one has a lovely colour.

8/ Chanel La Crème Main Texture Riche Nourish-Protect-Brighten (£45)

I have to admit that despite the extortionate price for a hand cream I really want one of these little egg shaped ones... The packaging is really rather fab and the cream is also nice.

9/ Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer (£24)

One of Nars' newest concealers, it claims to be high coverage and blurs any redness or blemishes you may have.

10/ Max Factor Volume Infusion Mascara (£12.99)

I love a good budget mascara. This one creates a lot of volume and contains both keratin and biotin which will help strengthen and nourish the lashes.

11/ Lancôme Mr Big Mascara (£21)

This is a much more expensive mascara which a lot of beauty insiders like. It's supposed to create enormous volume to the lashes. Personally, of the high end mascaras my favourite is the newly released Hourglass mascara.

12/ Avene Antirougeurs Jour Redness-Relief Moisturising Protecting Cream SPF20 (£14.50)

I love this product. It is amazing for those who have any redness or rosacea. It's great for sensitive skins as it's super gentle on the skin. This is a must have.

13/ Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules Line Erasing Night Serum (£72)

This retinol helps to diminish lines and wrinkles whilst also helping to improve skin texture and tone. Each capsule is sealed tight for optimal freshness and potency. I must try these out as so many people have been telling me about this product.

14/ Votary Intense Eye Oil - Tuberose and Retinoid (£115)

The sister to the Votary Intense Night Oil, it also contains hydroxypinacolone retinoate (a stronger form of retinol on the market) as well as some lovely plant and fruit oils. As you ladies know I don't believe in eye creams but I am willing to try this one...
