“So many founders name check serial entrepreneur Marcia as an inspiration. Just this week one told me that she always creates her PowerPoints with images rather than words, ‘because that’s what Marcia does”. The Canada-born 52-year-old brought us iconic brands Bliss Spa, Fit Flop and Soap and Glory and now Beauty Pie. Who else would think, or know, how to bring us a £100 EDP for less than £20 with no compromise on ingredients? I always top up my eyeliners here for less than a fiver. You can read here how she founded Beauty Pie here and if you’re not yet a member use our code GTGSENTME for and extra £50 spend. As for this scent, you may know this citrus-meets-earthy cinnamon scent from the brand’s mega Soul Providers Re-Energizing Dry Oil Sugar Scrub, £10.87 for members – now it’s been bottled. I can imagine Marcia spritzing this for a brainstorm; it smells of fresh and bright ideas and fun times ahead.”
