Who’s reviewing
It started on the shop floor, coming up through beauty retail and skincare education with The Body Shop and Clinique. Twenty years on: qualified beauty therapist, MSc in psychology, and brand work with Estée Lauder Companies, P&G and Philips, alongside the likes of Jo Malone and Mark Constantine.
These days it’s all joined up: the reviews here, TJ Double You, my growth consultancy for beauty brands, and Phatstix, the lip balm I make myself.
