From skincare giants Bliss Spa and Soap & Glory, to FitFlop, Marcia Kilgore has been the brains behind many well-known and much-loved brands. As a self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur, with a wealth of skincare and beauty expertise, Marcia certainly has the Midas touch when it comes to making people look - and feel - gorgeous.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard of (and more than likely bought virtual basket-fulls) from Beauty Pie, the brand Marcia founded in 2016, which delivers luxury beauty without the high-end price tag.

After getting fed-up with the retail markup structure that made it impossible to sell high-performance beauty products at affordable prices, Marcia's idea was to create a club that offers premium products, made by the world’s leading manufacturers but at warehouse-direct prices. "When you buy most products at retail, you’re probably paying at least 12 times what they really cost to manufacture. Customers deserve better than that," affirms Marcia.

From daily rituals to her favourite facial-in-a-jar cream, we grilled Marcia on the beauty tips, tricks and top product picks she can't live without. You are welcome.

1. Daily essential

2. Facial in a jar

3. Ultimate skin-rejuvenator

"It’s important to take care of yourself. I exercise daily, even if it’s a 20-minute hike up a hill, or a few speed- walking laps around the block with my weighted vest. Then I mix up a collagen and super greens smoothie."
