Tried and Tested: Kosas Cosmetics Lipstick

I discovered whooole new depths of strength at the highly anticipated ‘In Goop Health’ London Summit last summer, managing to restrain myself from telling Gwyneth Paltrow that I’ve long since thought we’d make the most excellent of BFF’s… Other discoveries included learning that the whole Goop team wear Kosas Cosmetics ‘Rosewater’ lipstick - I immediately purchased it (obviously), along with ‘Darkroom’ which is the perfect reddish-plum shade for Winter. Both have become handbag essentials.

Kosas Cosmetics cult, hydrating, everyday-wearable lipsticks are each infused with natural oils and soothing butters, whilst also being free from parabens, phthalates and mineral oil. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Thanks for the tip, GP… #BFF4Evs

Bruce Paltrow's World-Famous Pancakes

Recipe from 'My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness' by Gwyneth Paltrow

INGREDIENTS (serves 6)

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 eggs (preferably organic)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus 1/2 tsp per batch to grease pan
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
About 1/2 cup whole milk
Maple syrup

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk eggs, 3 tbsp butter and buttermilk in another bowl. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Cover batter and let rest overnight in the refrigerator. Heat a large greased griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add milk to batter until it reaches desired consistency; the more milk, the thinner and more delicate the pancakes. Working in batches of three pancakes, spoon batter onto griddle or skillet. Cook until surface of pancake is covered with bubbles, for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle warmed maple syrup over pancakes; serve. Yum!
