Millie Mackintosh's first foray into beauty was with a sparkly lilac toy nail polish - and the experience was a disappointment of epic proportions. Enter a granny with a stash of Chanel polishes, who gave Millie a pillar box red varnish, and in so doing spark an appreciation of beautifully-executed beauty products.
A slightly bumpy time at school thanks to acne honed Millie's love of make-up and its transformative powers, and after leaving, she went to work at MAC in Bath and then at Space NK, where Millie was working when she became one of the original members of the Made in Chelsea cast. During her time on the show, an interest in fitness started to kindle, and she put her mind to finding a way to stay fit and lead a salubrious life.
Today, she's there. Her routine includes meditation, exercise classes, and a nutritious diet - and Millie's much happier for it. In this episode, Millie talks about what she's implemented and why, as well as her beauty journey and the products that she has loved and currently uses.
