Faking a full night’s sleep? Every new mum’s MO. And no one knows that better than Thandi Maqubela. A commercial legal director and co-founder of the Lawyers’ Dining Club, Thandi knows more than just a thing or two about doing a lot with very little time. Naturally, these days, that includes sleep. Originally from South Africa, Thandi now lives in London with her husband and two children, the youngest of whom was born just a few months ago. Unsurprisingly, she describes her sleep as ‘still fairly unpredictable’.
With 21.6k Instagram followers and counting, Thandi has built a loyal following thanks to her refreshingly honest approach to beauty. Her ‘To The Last Drop’ reviews are a favourite where she tests products ‘until the bottles are empty but the opinions are not.’
Now, each month, Thandi will reveal the products she feels particularly enthusiastic about as a new mother via her new series with Grazia, 'The Beauty Brief'. Skin looking lacklustre after a few months of broken nights? Consider Thandi's recommendations the exact sort of beauty innovations many of us could get on board with.
Here, find your do-it-all kit to help fake the look of a full night's sleep - even if you're in the new mum trenches.
