It makes me really sad.
Really sad knowing Henry (junior) and Matilda will be back to school next week after having them home for the summer holidays. I can't even think about it without my heart sinking and a lump coming up In my throat.
Perhaps even worse is I know I'll be back to the school run!
I'm so busy early morning besides getting them and myself ready it's like watching a hurricane of cereal bowls, pants, trousers, socks, shoes, shirts, dresses, toothbrushes and MAKEUP!
I never get time to actually make myself look as presentable as I'd like to and of course their are some 'Ultra-Mums' who manage to look like they've spent 3 hours on their hair before they left.
So, if you're ever in a rush and need to get out quick yet not look like you've crawled out of bed then well ... here's THE 3 MINUTE FACE ... how to get yourself looking and feeling good enough to 'go on display' with minimal makeup!
- Essentials: Cleanse, tone, Pre-Eminent Beauty Serum, Imperial Eye Gel, Imperial Moisturiser, Imperial Lip Butter. Look out, we'll be releasing an amazing cleanser and toner very soon!
- Instantly Look More Awake: Start your makeup with concealer under the eyes and in the most recessed corners of the eyes; you'll look more awake!
- Deal with any 'issues'. If your skin is naturally smooth, sweep a natural blush colour or bronzer on your cheeks. Or using foundation, quickly cover blemish or redness around the nose.
- Open Your Eyes: Now's the time for a little brown or black mascara.
- Pucker Up: Wear a light tinted gloss on your lips.
A quick, easy guide to getting out the door, looking good even when time is really tight.
Talk soon,
Tracey x
PS: Let me tell you a little secret ... nobody is perfect and you should never worry about what you look like because it doesn't matter ... what matters is how you feel about you ... and if any of my tips and products help you feel a bit better about you then super ... if not then don't worry; you're still amazing to me xxx

I love my new found purchase of Highborn of London, I start with the cleanser then toner followed by the serum, eye get and moisturiser. As for the three minute make up routine, I can do it in two as I have no eyelashes or hair 😂.
I have definitely seen a brightening of my skin and would definitely recommend these products.
I will be treating myself to the exfoliation next 💕 thank you Tracey x

I just wanted to say how thrilled I am with my products! I have only been using them for a week, but absolutely love how they make look and feel! I treated myself to the full set, after a difficult trauma-filled year, I decided that it was time to put ME first for a change, and I’m so glad I chose these products and this company! Tracey is inspirational, just the role-model we all need. I love the fact that the products are cruelty free and that they are priced so that you don’t feel that you are being exploited. Follow-up customer service after a query was excellent, answered promptly and efficiently. I cannot fault the beautiful presentation, the luxurious feel of the products or the results after using them for even just a short space of time! I’m a total convert and I look forward to a bright-eyed, fresh-skinned future with the help of Highborn London :-D

I’ve been using the whole Highborn London kit for a week now and my skin has never felt better!! I treated myself to the whole set as I have been unwell over the winter and needed a ‘pick me up.’ I was sceptical at first because when I first breathed in the coconut fragrance it was reminiscent of putting sun cream on!! I’ve got used to the fragrance now, having used many non scented products before and I love it.
In the morning I gently exfoliate my skin whilst showering and then use the toner before the other lotions. I pop on the lip butter first, which helps stop lipstick bleed and is lovely and moisturising. The Imperial eye gel is something else! I have honestly seen changes in my eyes. The skin is less crinkly and just generally healthier.
The serum glides on and gives an instant lift. The moisturiser is so creamy you don’t need much and it’s not greasy either.
I have had so many positive comments from people saying how well I look, and asking what I use, and that’s just after one whole week!!
I love my products. I love the way they look in my bathroom too. Such beautiful, high quality products and compared to other premium skin products, much better value too.
Thank you Tracey. You are inspirational and you have helped me feel so much better about myself in such a short space of time! xx

I recently purchased the cleanser, toner, serum, eye gel, moisturiser and lip balm and they are GREAT no FANTASTIC. My skin feels soooo soft unlike any high brand I have used previously (and at my age I’ve used a few) and apart from the crinkles not being as noticible my huge open pores have virtually gone and best of all this is all in 2 weeks YES 2 weeks of use. So to say thank you Tracy is not enough so come on ladies take the chance on something new and get buying n trying like I did you will love it

In just over a week I have already fallen in love with this product. I bought the full set, which is great value, and use it all daily. My almost 60 year old skin is looking revitalised. Thank you Tracey x

I’ve been using Highborn London for ages. I’m a terminal cancer patient. Like to still look like a confident pretty woman and wife. Had so many compliments since using. Most my skins clearer. I shall continue to use . Think supporting new businesses and someone like yourself who went out there and did it. Admire you loads ?

I received my first order – wow what elegant packaging. Superior contents too. I tried them all in a hurry just after a hot shower; not a good testing ground but love them all. I shall be keeping check for new products. Thank you so much Tracey x

Ihave love reading your blogs, you are a real tonic. Your products, eye gel, serum and lip butter, which I have only been using for a few days have already made my skin look and feel so much softer, I am so impressed. Must need the moisturiser now, Thank you for being such an inspiration,
