Lisa Snowdon says secret to her youthful skin is £24 peptides oil
This Morning presenter Lisa Snowdon has shared her two go-to products for a 'glowy gorgeous plump' complexion – and, even better, they're both currently on sale Recently we've been keenly watching Lisa Snowdon's Instagram to inspire our next beauty buys, as the TV and radio presenter not only looks incredible, with radiant, youthful-looking skin, but also clearly knows a thing or two about what beauty products really work. The two latest we can't wait to try are Nip+Fab's Peptide Fix Finishing Oil 2%, a nourishing final step in your evening skincare routine that Lisa says she has "been a fan of for a while" and, for the morning, the newly launched Peptide Fix 2-in-1 Tone & Top Up SPF50 Mist 4%, which is perfect for spring and summer weather. Even better, they both currently have 20% off on Lookfantastic, taking them down from £29.95 to £23.96 each. Describing in a sponsored post how she uses the oil at night as the last step in her skincare routine, Lisa explains how well it "compliments your other skincare serums, moisturisers and retinols", demonstrating the the camera just how dewy and healthy her skin looks after using it – something that her followers were quick to comment on. The key ingredient in it is skin-strengthening peptides, which are currently having a bit of a viral moment right now thanks to super-serums such as Medik8 Advanced Peptides MP. In this Nip+Fab formula there are three different types: synthetic peptides, oil-based peptides and copper peptides, which give the solution its unique blue colour. And Lisa isn't the only fan of this skin-plumping wonder product; it has almost exclusively five star review s on both the Boots and the Lookfantastic websites, with one shopper calling it "magical stuff". "My skin feels plump and soft after using this great product at night," another wrote. "Under eye wrinkles definitely appear softer." "Love this for finishing off my skincare," another agreed. " Gives your skin that extra glossy look and keeps skin fresh and nourished." One person, however, remarked that they were "not too sure on the smell". If this is your nighttime hero, then Lisa's other Nip+Fab recommendation is your must-have for the daytime: a handy SPF mist that boosts the skin and can be used under or over make-up, which also contains collagen boosting peptides. Those who have already tried it report that " skin fells super hydrated and dewy afterwards", with one even saying, "I was told my skin was glowing". If you want to stock up on SPF mists for summer, we also love Ultra Violette Preen Screen SPF 50+ Reapplication Mist, £32, and Garnier Ambre Solaire Over Makeup Super UV Face Protection Mist SPF50+, currently £8.67. Meanwhile for other excellent peptide serum recommendations at either end of the price spectrum, we love SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Neuro-Peptide Serum, £130, and The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + HA Serum, £15.90.

Vitor Hugo Lourenço Appointed Group Beverage Director at Culinary Arts Group
By Editor_wr On May 14, 2025 The Culinary Arts Group has recently appointed Vitor Hugo Lourenço as Group Beverage Director, strengthening its focus on innovative and experience-driven beverage programmes. With over 16 years of international experience and a reputation for combining creativity with precision, Vitor will oversee the beverage direction for the group's flagship Dubai venues: Revolver Dubai, Maison Dali and Dali Supper Club. In addition to his new role in Dubai, Vitor's portfolio also extends to Culinary Arts Group's acclaimed concepts in Singapore, namely Hamamoto, Revolver, and Araya, where he plays a key role in elevating the beverage experience to match the exceptional dining standards of each award-winning restaurant. A respected name in the global beverage world, Vitor's career began with a foundation in hotel management and evolved into a dynamic journey across renowned establishments in Europe and the UAE. From leading the celebrated Gin Bar at Rosewood London to crafting beverage experiences for the Harbour Hotel Group and Atlantis The Royal, Vitor has earned a reputation for concept-driven storytelling, operational excellence, and menu innovation. Most recently, as Group Beverage Manager at?EatX, Dubai, Vitor led the development of signature cocktail programmes across a diverse portfolio while championing talent development and building standout brand collaborations with Campari, Diageo, Rémy Cointreau, and others. In his new role, Vitor brings his layered approach to each of Culinary Arts Group's concepts. At Maison Dali, a modern brasserie helmed by three-Michelin-starred Chef Tristin Farmer, Vitor's cocktail menu is inspired by the seven global art disciplines — music, sculpture, performance, architecture, literature, film and painting. Signature serves like the floral and elegant Symphony, the mellow Mist, and the smoky, mysterious Lunar are just the beginning of an ever-evolving BARTENDER programme designed to complement the restaurant's refined culinary vision. At Dali Supper Club, the surreal hidden concept within Maison Dali where captivating mixology meets playful gastronomy, Vitor launched the Red Passion Hours in collaboration with Campari — a bold reinterpretation of the classic aperitivo hour through smoky mezcal twists, sparkling sbagliatos and deep, bourbon-infused boulevardiers. Dali Supper Club is truly unique as Vitor's cocktails are complemented by a specially curated finger food menu developed by three-Michelin-starred Tristan Farmer. This collaboration enhances the venue's multi-sensory journey and reinforces its avant-garde edge. It is also setting a global precedent, being the only bar in the world where the food menu is crafted by the acclaimed Tristan Farmer and purposefully designed to complement the beverage programme. At Revolver, one of Singapore's hottest restaurants, now in Dubai, Vitor has introduced a bespoke Martini Programme, featuring eight bold takes on the classic — from a sharp Extra Dry to a Filthy Martini garnished with blue cheese-stuffed olives — served on custom trays alongside house-pickled cherry tomatoes, aromatic herbs and vermouth pairings. Revolver Dubai's signature cocktails also reflect the restaurant's bold and unapologetic personality. Highlights include the popular Unlighted – a mysterious serving of Don Julio Reposado, Talisker Storm, Rinomato Deciso Rosso and Campari infused guava, smoked with aromatic Palo Santo Wood; and Drift, a modern, fruity concoction featuring The Botanist Gin infused ginger, vanilla and hazelnut, complemented by Belle de Brillet Pear Liqueur and finished with a refined touch of Telmont Réserve Brut Champagne. Its bespoke ice programme, crafted using distinctive techniques and tools, enhances the visual allure and sensory experience of each beverage. Recognising the growing demand for inclusive and mindful options, Vitor has also curated VOL. ZERO.1, a non-alcoholic menu rooted in complexity, depth and craftsmanship. Standouts include Crystali-No – a creamy blend of oolong cold brew, honey, vanilla and non-alcoholic fizz, Lalli – organic barley malt, berries and citrus Bubbli – Tanqueray 0.0, plum verjus and housemade falernum. Commenting on his new role, Vitor Lourenço shared, 'My career to date has been built on the ethos of enjoying as much as you can. I firmly believe there is a synergy between being a bartender and being a chef, as it allows us to create, to be bold, and to express ourselves. It has been the best journey ever so far, and I am excited to bring that spirit to Culinary Arts Group, where creativity has no limits. I look forward to building unforgettable experiences with our team, guests, and partners. For me, it's all about learning, teaching, and being inspired by those around me.' With Vitor's appointment, Culinary Arts Group continues to build a collective of best-in-class talent across all disciplines — united by a shared ambition to redefine the region's dining scene through bold innovation, cultural collaboration, and immersive guest experiences.

Perfume fans praise £9 bottle that's 'just as good if not better than Sol de janeiro'
With summer fast-approaching, fragrance fans are on the hunt for the perfect summer scent. And for those undecided on their signature spritz, affordable beauty retailer GiveMeCosmetics has released a body spray bundle containing four mists for £9 each. Certain brands have earned a reputation for their 'summer in a bottle' sprays, achieving cult status among perfume buffs. Brands like Sol de Janeiro are revered by beauty lovers, but at £38 for 240ml, they're not the most affordable. By comparison, shoppers can get four GiveMeCosmetics sprays for £36, containing four scents that share similarities to much more expensive options on the market. That means customers get 800ml of fragrance for £2 cheaper than one bottle of Sol de Janeiro. By far the most popular mist, having racked up more than 700 reviews, is Caramel Vacay, which draws some similarities to Sol de Janeiro's cult classic Cheirosa 62. The bottle boasts subtle notes of pistachio, sweet almond, heliotrope and jasmine - alongside the expected vanilla and salted caramel. Superdrug also sells an £11.99 Mar E Sol Salted Caramel & Pistachio Body Mist, which features 250ml. Likened to Cheirosa 59, Orchid Dreams stars warm violet and vanilla orchid notes. While Sunset Serenity blends together caramel and luscious fruits for something reminiscent of Cheirosa 87. (Image: GiveMeCosmetics) The final scent in the set, Botanical Breeze, doesn't seem to compare to any of Sol de Janeiro's scents. Instead it shares similar notes to Victoria's Secret Fresh Jade with apple, coconut, lemon and orange notes, however, the VS mist doesn't seem to be available to buy in the UK yet. So far there are only three reviews for the spray bundle but they're all perfect five stars. One shopper said: "They products are great , smells lovely and fast delivery will definitely buy again." A second penned: "Love them all they all smell so fresh." A third added: "Amazing smells and the spay lasts. I like all the fragrances to suit my moods. The sprays are so light they glide into the skin." However it is worth noting that Caramel Vacay, which shares a number of notes with cult classic Sol De Janeiro's Cheirosa 62, has an average rating of 5 of out 714 reviews. One shopper said: "This is just as good if not better than Sol de janeiro and smells delicious and lasts longer." A second penned: "Absolutely love this body spray! Smells gorgeous and doesn't leave any sort of sticky feeling like some others do! Cannot fault any products I have purchased from this website so far! Skincare, hair care is all amazing! Also the body cream is great too, it's smooth and like the spray has no stickiness feeling, also smells just as good as the body spray!" The £36 body spray bundle, which contains 800ml of fragrance, is now available on GiveMeCosmetics. Sol de Janeiro are currently selling a £38 body mist set on LookFantastic but it contains only 120ml of perfume.
