The Emma Guns Show

Talk about a double-whammy! My chat with tanning guru James Read was so much fun I'm bringing it to you in a special two-part edition of the show. Full disclosure; James is my dear pal, but as much I adore him on a personal level he is also hugely inspiring. This is the boy from Kent who turned himself into a global beauty brand via the tanning booths of London department stores. He's the go-to 'tan man' for stars including Ellie Goulding and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.Here we chat about instagram, how he created his eponymous tanning collection, his inspirations and how he went from cheeky school boy to global entrepreneur. (Note: James references the movie The September issue, but the Anna Wintour quote he's talking about is one he read in 2000 and then saw again in the movie years later when it came out.)You can also download The Beauty Podcast with Emma G on iTunes and Soundcloud.James can be found on social media: Twitter: James Read Tan Facebook James Read Tan and via his websit

This is what The Beauty Podcast with Emma G is all about - two people sitting down, sharing information and having an absolute giggle along the way. In this episode I meet with SkinFix CEO Amy Regan during the UK launch of the range to talk beauty, being the boss and the importance of mentors. It was my first time getting to chat to Amy, but I have a feeling it won't be the last.You can also download The Beauty Podcast with Emma G on iTunes and Soundcloud.Links from this episode include:For more information and to buy SkinFix - click here.My friend Hannah's fertility blog featuring, among many other things, our awkwardness with the 'V' word and a real time account of her quest to fall pregnant via IVF.Both Amy and Gabrielle Shaw referenced the book Brainfluence as a must-read.Want to know more about Mercury in Retrograde?

Joining me in this episode is Eugene Souleiman, the trend-setting hair stylist responsible for the looks at major fashion shows including Yohji Yamamoto, DKNY, Chloe and Pucci, whose work is frequently featured in Vogue, W, i-D Magazine, Dazed & Confused and Harper's Bazaar. To say he is accomplished is an understatement...Eugene joined me for a chat during a busy day at the Wella Institute in Central London where, among other things, he was launching the new Oil Reflections range (launching in July) to press in his role as Creative Ambassador. I stole an hour with him over a sushi lunch and before a dash to Nike Town to pick up some new runners. We had a giggle, we geeked out over comic books and I want to live in his head - although truthfully I think it'd blow my mind...You can also download The Beauty Podcast with Emma G on iTunes and Soundcloud.Links from this episode include:Instagram - Eugene Souleiman Wella Creative AmbassadorEugene Souleiman Portfolio  You can get in touch with me vi

Joining me in this episode is Abi Cleeve the MD of Ultrasun UK. On the topic of sun care she is, quite simply, an oracle and if you've ever felt bamboozled by the meaning of UVA or UVB, wondered what on earth 'broad spectrum' means and whether SPF 20 means you can spend 20 minutes in the sun or not, then this is a show you need to tune in to. Oh, and if you worry about those high factor formulas on young children, then you won't want to miss her intel... She even corrected some bad SPF behaviour in this beauty journalist. My wrists were most definitely slapped...We talk about meeting, and becoming firm friends, in the dressings room of QVC where we went from meeting to sharing concerns about chin hairs in about four and a half minutes. She's an expert in her field, and she's a great dressing room buddy. You haven't lived until you've put the world to rights with Abi Cleeve.
