00:00And I've got a sidekick, the brilliant Alex Light. You've got a new title, tell everybody
00:05what you do. Yes, Beauty Influencer. Which basically means I'm old school, she thinks
00:09new school. But between the two of us we've got it covered and today what we're going
00:13to do is we're going to have a mask party. A little while ago I was in LA and I
00:19was invited
00:19to LA to go behind the scenes at Glam Glow. And if you don't know Glam Glow, I'm just
00:24going to grab this week's copy of Hello and show you. You must know Glam Glow. Glam Glow
00:27is the revolutionary mud brand that basically brought mud into the UK. And I went behind
00:35the scenes and I met the founders, Shannon and Glenn Delamore. And actually he's English
00:40and she's American. And I found the history of Glam Glow and how basically these really
00:48two clever entrepreneurs revolutionised the mud mask market. And what happened was Glenn
00:54was an entrepreneur and Shannon was a legal, a paralegal who worked with this huge Hollywood
01:00agent. And they were at a party one night and they bumped into a lot of celebrities and they
01:04said to celebrities, what do you want from a mud mask? And they said, we're really busy,
01:08we're really stressed, we work hard, we wear lots of makeup, we're on set, our skin is stressed,
01:13we're flying. We basically want a spa in a jar. And guess what, they created it. Basically
01:19Glam Glow was born with the first ever product, which I'm going to test. But what they've also
01:25done is revolutionised the way we use masks because you must know go on Instagram, go on
01:30Glam Glow's Instagram and global feeds and you'll just see that there are just loads of
01:35really gorgeous people wearing really bright, fun masks because they're very disruptive brand
01:41and they want us to rethink the way that we use masks.
01:44Yeah.
01:44And you use them, don't you?
01:46I do.
01:46I do.
01:47So what we're going to do is we're going to choose them for my skin type, which is obviously
01:50older and slightly more mature and Alex's skin type as well. And we're going to basically
01:54create our own mud mask party.
01:57Yeah. Are you ready?
01:58Exciting, yeah. I just have to say that I'm really jealous that you visited the Glam Glow
02:03mansion. It looks amazing.
02:04I can't tell you how gorgeous, super jealous.
02:05Glam Land is.
02:06Glam Land is.
02:07So basically Glam Land was built in the 1920s and when Shannon and Glenn, the founders of
02:13Glam Glow took it over, they really know a lot about it. But basically they're a really
02:17kind of cool, hip, really trendy Hollywood brand that's taken the world by storm. And
02:22then they found out that people like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley had parted there.
02:26Oh my God.
02:27That's so cool.
02:27If those walls could talk.
02:28I tell you.
02:29The stories.
02:30It would be super exciting.
02:32Yeah. And so basically have a look at Hello this week and we'll take you behind the scenes
02:35of Glam Land and tell you all about how the incredible Glam Glow started. But should we
02:40start our party?
02:41Let's start.
02:42Let's go.
02:42I'm going to put my hair behind my ears.
02:44Yes.
02:45And I'm going to start with the original, one of the original Glam Glows, which is Gravity
02:50Mud. And basically what Gravity Mud does is it firms and tightens your skin.
02:55And I'm obviously going to put it where I need it, which for most women over 40 is under
03:01here. What are you going to start?
03:02So I'm going to start with the Super Mud, which is actually the brand's best selling cult
03:08mud, right? It's the, yeah, it's the number one.
03:11Watch this.
03:11Watch this.
03:12Because the other thing about, sorry, one thing about Glam, all of the Glam Glow masks
03:17is they kind of look really interesting to put on as well.
03:20Yeah, you're going to start.
03:21So I'm going to grab this here and basically I'm going to apply it where I need it, which is
03:25under my jaw.
03:27Check it out.
03:28It's a sort of superhero silver color.
03:31I love it.
03:32Yeah, it looks good.
03:33It's very Insta friendly, right?
03:35Oh, yeah.
03:36I mean, basically I think not only do the masks give you a really quick fix, five minute effect
03:42on your skin.
03:43Like I said, they're a spa in a jar, but it just looks so cool to actually take pictures
03:48off.
03:48And do you tend to apply them with a brush?
03:51I do because most of them, they come with a little brush.
03:55And also once you get it on your hands, then you get it in your hair.
03:58You were smelling them before we came on here earlier on.
04:01She's got it on the end of her nose.
04:02So I think you just get more control of where you want to put it.
04:07And for me, when I wash this off after my 10 or 15 minutes, you can actually feel the
04:13skin tighten.
04:14And obviously I can't do this here because we're in the hello offices.
04:18But I would actually take this right down onto my chest as well because it's brilliant
04:21for those sleep lines.
04:23You know when you sometimes wake up in the morning and you get those lines across your
04:25face where you basically smoosh your face into the pillow?
04:28That's how I use mine.
04:30Right.
04:30So that's how I use mine.
04:31Okay.
04:32And will you sleep in that then?
04:34Oh no.
04:35Oh no.
04:36Okay.
04:36No, 10-15 minutes before you go out and then I wash it off and you feel your skin dry
04:41and
04:41tighten.
04:42And this one is slightly fruity but quite lightly scented for most of the glam masks.
04:49Nice.
04:50And then I'm actually going to put my next one on.
04:52Yeah.
04:53Okay.
04:53So this is the original one.
04:56So it was created for Keanu Reeves.
04:59It really was created for Keanu Reeves.
05:01I don't know if I'm even supposed to say that.
05:03No way.
05:04Yeah.
05:04I didn't know that.
05:05Basically they were at a party and Keanu Reeves said, and he's the same age as me,
05:10and he said, I basically want a spa and a jar.
05:12You know when you leave a spa and your skin refills and looks amazing.
05:16It's hydrated, it's deep cleansed, it's exfoliated, you've just got that glow.
05:22Yeah.
05:22But I don't have the time.
05:23I want to get off a plane, get into the makeup chair before I go on set, apply a mask,
05:29have my makeup artist wash it off after 10 or 15 minutes and have the same effect.
05:33And that's what they went out and created.
05:35Wow.
05:35And I actually, this is the one I'm addicted to the smell of.
05:38This is the original one and it kind of smells like tea.
05:42Right?
05:43Yeah.
05:43Like a green tea.
05:45And I quite like that kind of, quite sort of earthy smell.
05:50So I'm going to start applying this, but while I start applying this, because this might
05:52take a time, because basically what you do is you put this on your face and then it dries,
05:56tightens, exfoliates, plumps your skin and hydrates your skin.
05:59You can start on your own.
06:00I find as well that I use this one for, it creates a really nice makeup base.
06:05Your skin is just so smooth and exfoliated.
06:08I'm going for it.
06:08Perfect.
06:09I'm going to disappear in a minute.
06:11Go for it.
06:11So I'm going to talk about Super Mud, which like I said is the best selling mask.
06:16So this is for oily skin.
06:18I don't really have very oily skin, but I'm just going to show you how you would use it.
06:23This one's quite iconic and you've probably seen this on Instagram because you apply it
06:28and as it dries it changes colour as it soaks up the oil.
06:32It's going to be interesting.
06:34Well I mean, you're young, so you might find a little bit of oil comes out, but to be honest
06:39you've got great skin and it's not like you've got blemishes, but the way I always recommend
06:43people use this is if you've got, you know that you wake up before a big event and you've
06:47got that one stonking great big really annoying blemish.
06:50For me, you can spot treat it.
06:51Stick this on, spot treat it.
06:53Yeah.
06:53And then obviously if you have problems skin as well, you can use it all over as well.
06:56Yeah.
06:57So basically what it does is it pulls the sebum out of your pores.
07:00Nice.
07:01While I was saying that, I was laughing.
07:02I'll just put it on my lip.
07:03Go for it.
07:03Go on.
07:04I can't be the only one sitting here looking like a mask maniac.
07:08I'm going to wait for the mirror because God knows what's going to happen.
07:10Oh, I'm so sorry.
07:12I'm hurrying now.
07:13I'm hurrying.
07:14God knows where it will end up if I don't.
07:16Oh, here we go.
07:17I'm going to do it without a mirror.
07:18So I'm just going to put it on the T-zone.
07:21Wish me luck.
07:23And I have girlfriends that do this.
07:28How's that?
07:28How can you look chic even in a mask?
07:30It's just not fair.
07:31Oh, stop.
07:33I have friends that do this and get their girlfriends around to do this before they go
07:36out for a party.
07:37Do they?
07:38Yeah.
07:38And what I thought we'd do is we'd talk about how it feels as well.
07:41Now this one I can feel tight.
07:43She sits.
07:43Spilling it on her arm.
07:44This one I can feel tight.
07:46Yeah.
07:46This one tingles.
07:47It's tingly, isn't it?
07:49It's very tingly.
07:50And Glenn actually said to me that when he first tried it, he was trying it because
07:56basically they went to a formulating chemist and they said, look, this is what we want.
08:00Yeah.
08:00She went, nobody's done this before.
08:01Are you crazy?
08:01She knew it had to be mud based.
08:04Yeah.
08:04So she knew they found this amazing French mud, which has been used basically in France for
08:09ages, but it's like a best kept secret.
08:11And then they added all the green tea antioxidant leaves to it.
08:15And do you know that the antioxidant capacity gets stronger the longer you keep it?
08:20Oh really?
08:20I didn't know that.
08:21Basically it seeps into the mud over time.
08:23It doesn't go down.
08:24It goes up.
08:25Oh, that's amazing.
08:25But it's the mud that tingles because the mud basically goes into your skin, on your
08:31skin, and then into your pores.
08:34And then basically you, it treats it like a sort of, just as you would at a spa when
08:39you have a complete body mud mask wrap.
08:42Right.
08:42What it does is it takes all the impurities out of your skin.
08:44Okay.
08:45Nice.
08:45I have no idea what I'm looking like because I just did that.
08:48Go on, you go.
08:49You're looking like a very chic as an ant.
08:51I'm giving my age away there.
08:55So next I'm going to use the Thirsty Mud which I'm obsessed with.
09:00I use this every single day, well every single night.
09:03I sleep in it because I've got really dry skin and it's just so hydrating.
09:10I just wake up with like glowing skin and I also, I use it every time I fly.
09:15Whether it's short haul, long haul, every time I get on a flight I just apply it every time.
09:22So I'm going to put this everywhere apart from the T-zone area, obviously.
09:27I've now turned to Swamp Woman.
09:31Now the thing about all of, sorry, the thing about all of the masks is, so we've used,
09:37I've used the lifting gravity one and then I've used the youth one which is the original one.
09:41And Alex is using the other two best sellers.
09:44But there are six masks in the range and each one has a very specific role to play depending on
09:49what your skin's needs are.
09:51So beyond my gravity one and my youth one, beyond the super one and then the thirsty one, there are
09:58two others.
10:00I'm actually going to, now you see the thing is, you can't really see the thirsty mud.
10:05I know, you can't see it.
10:06But it's super hydrating, it's almost like a jelly mask isn't it?
10:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:09Which is why you can wear it on a flight I suppose.
10:11Yeah, yeah, exactly.
10:12You're not going to scare any young children.
10:13Yeah, exactly.
10:15So the other two that we want to talk about are flash mud.
10:19Yes, yes, yes, yes.
10:20So this one is great for brightening and reducing pigmentation and colour correcting.
10:27So it's got lots of powerful multi-brightening complexes that just help to lighten the appearance of the skin.
10:37I think one of the people it's really most targeted for are people that have either got dull skin,
10:42so they want brightening before they go out before a big night.
10:45Yeah.
10:46Which to be honest all the masks actually do brighten the skin because they all exfoliate the skin as well.
10:51But also I think it's for people with pigmentation issues.
10:54Right.
10:54So it's really popular, if you look on Instagram it's really popular with women who've got pigmentation issues
10:58and they want to brighten their skin.
11:00Or they've got an uneven skin tone and they just want something to kind of really amp it up and
11:04brighten it.
11:05Yeah, okay.
11:06And then if you've got sensitive skin and you don't like the tingle, and now I quite like the tingle.
11:11Me too.
11:11Yeah.
11:12I like the tingle.
11:13You get kind of addicted to the tingle.
11:14And even, it was so funny because when Glenn first tested this and then he gave it to Shannon
11:18to test, she basically went in, she was telling me, she went into the bathroom and applied it,
11:25pulled all the bits of leaf out because she didn't like the leaves because it didn't seem right.
11:28And then Glenn explained to her that the leaves are actually the antioxidants.
11:32But then what she actually said was that she thought it was really interesting that the tingle came and should
11:40she wash it off?
11:41And she didn't know because you have to get used to that.
11:43Like, it's a hard one to explain, but basically it's cool, but you can feel it tingling at the same
11:49time.
11:49Now, personally, I like my skin products.
11:51Yeah.
11:52Me too.
11:52To give me some sort of physical effect.
11:55And then you wash it off and your skin feels great afterwards.
11:58But be prepared that some of these masks are very powerful and they do tingle.
12:02And if you don't like the tingle, then the one to try is Power Mud.
12:06Now, Power Mud basically has all of the advantages of some of the iconic classic muds.
12:12But basically, it's a mud to oil formulation.
12:14So, it's deep cleansing, but it doesn't have the tingle.
12:19But also, when you rinse it off, it sort of turns into an oil, so it's really hydrating.
12:23And at this time of the year in the UK, as we're going from summer into autumn,
12:27it's quite nice if your skin suddenly gets really hydrated.
12:29In fact, if you haven't tried it, I think it would really suit your skin type.
12:31Yeah, definitely.
12:32Yeah.
12:33And you know when you and I have been filming all day and you've got loads of makeup on?
12:36And sometimes you just need your skin to have a deep clean?
12:39Then that's a really good one for that.
12:40Nice.
12:40It sort of looks a little bit more like the traditional clay masks, but it really cleverly
12:46turns into oil when you rinse it off.
12:49I've heard that dubbed the hangover mask.
12:52The hangover mask.
12:53Yeah.
12:53So, basically, it's either you've been partying too much or like you and I probably have been
12:57filming too much and I've got too much makeup on.
12:59Yeah.
12:59Sometimes you just want to give your skin a bit of a makeover.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Definitely.
13:04Okay.
13:05So.
13:06And the packaging as well.
13:08I wanted to show you the packaging.
13:09Obviously, you can't really see it but it's like a soft touch.
13:11I know what you're going to say when you open it up as well.
13:13Yeah.
13:13When you open it up, their tagline is Hello Sexy.
13:17So, every time you open it up, the packaging speaks back at you which is basically Hello
13:22Sexy.
13:23Yeah.
13:23And when I went to Glamland, they have a really famous artist who basically called Drew Robertson
13:30and basically what he does is he has Hello Sexy written in their logo everywhere.
13:33Really?
13:33Amazing.
13:34I know.
13:34Yeah.
13:35Because basically their masks are about having fun.
13:37If you think about probably even 10 years ago, masks were something you sort of went
13:41to a high street chemist to use.
13:43They were a bit medicinal.
13:44You had a bit of a spot.
13:46You know, you might have used a paw strip or something.
13:47Exactly.
13:48But they weren't really fun or aspirational or sexy.
13:50And you wouldn't kind of sit around with your girlfriend.
13:52I mean, all we're missing now is a bottle of champagne.
13:54But you wouldn't have a mask party with your girlfriends.
13:57But Glamglow literally have revolutionised that.
14:00That's exactly what happened.
14:01And made multi-masking so easy as well.
14:03I think they own the multi-masking market.
14:06And they make mud masks really, really sexy.
14:10Yeah.
14:10I mean, they just do.
14:11It's easy to work with.
14:13It's fun to use.
14:14And I think the other message is don't take it all so seriously.
14:19Yes, these are really powerful skincare products.
14:22Yes, they work.
14:23And yes, they solve your skincare problems.
14:25But it's fun.
14:26It's really fun.
14:27I love this brand.
14:28And they're really good fun.
14:29They're really good fun on Instagram as well.
14:30If you haven't been to either Glamglow UK on Instagram or Glamglow International,
14:36for a start you'll see loads of celebrities using them.
14:40They're all completely addicted to them.
14:42And Glenn told me a story about how he used to deliver the,
14:46they used to pack the original youth mud in their own tubs in their kitchen
14:53and they used to drop it off on set.
14:54Really?
14:55Yeah.
14:56That's crazy.
14:57And basically, he once took one on set to somebody on a sort of silver platter.
15:02And he thought that was funny.
15:03And afterwards they went, isn't that a bit weird?
15:05And he went, I don't know.
15:06The packaging wasn't that great at the time.
15:07It wasn't amazing.
15:08I just want to make it seem special.
15:10But people like Natalie Portman, Paris Hilton, loads of celebrities absolutely love them.
15:15I saw Drew Barrymore in one the other day.
15:18And also the Sonic range, which is a limited edition range, a bright blue.
15:21Yes.
15:22That was all over Instagram actually.
15:24It was very Instagramable.
15:25And that one actually, these you wash off, which we will do before we come off air.
15:28When we come off air.
15:29Actually the other ones, they rubberize and you peel them off.
15:32That is so satisfying.
15:33So satisfying.
15:34Yeah.
15:34I like that.
15:35Now before we go, Alex and I and wash our faces.
15:38Obviously.
15:39I bet our faces are changing colours.
15:41I know, probably.
15:43You've got hardly any oil in your skin.
15:45Can I just say that?
15:45Okay.
15:46There is a competition.
15:48You could win all six, yay, glam glow mud masks.
15:55That's everything that Alex and I have used and talked about today.

16:35I can feel mine.
16:36I can definitely feel mine.
16:37Can you feel your tightening?
16:38Yeah.
16:38So you've got a hydrated one here and then a tight one in the middle.
16:40Yes.
16:40I can't feel the thirsty, but I can feel the height.
16:43Whereas every single part of me is tightening.
