About On the Sofa with Simi: The Brains Behind Bellissimi Beauty

Hello, and welcome to On the Sofa with Simi: The Brains Bellissimi Beauty. This is a safe space where I’ll be sharing and discussing everything related to marriage, motherhood, makeup, and everything in between for women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. If you don’t already know me, I’m your host, Simi. I have over 10 years of experience in the beauty industry, specifically in makeup, aesthetics, and semi-permanent makeup. In those 10 years, I’ve gone from traveling the world doing makeup and generally living the dream, to almost giving up during the pandemic, to becoming a wife and a mum in my early 30s. Are you stuck in a rut with your skincare or beauty routine? Do you feel pressured to buy products off TikTok or Instagram or even at a beauty counter without really understanding what they are? Or perhaps you were looking into treatments to look a bit fresher and younger but you didn't know the difference between a dermal filler and an anti-wrinkle (botox) injection? If so, then this podcast is for you! I'm here to be the best friend you never knew you needed, who just happens to have over a decade’s worth of experience in the cosmetics industry. I offer my unbiased, objective opinions on products, treatments, techniques, and services to give you the truth. Whether you're interested in getting a whole new makeup wardrobe, a skincare refresh, or even a total makeover haul, I'm here to save you money and time! I’m here to share all the knowledge, tips, and tricks I’ve learned along the way, like the best friend you never knew you needed! So grab a cuppa, get cozy, and let’s sit on the sofa and have a chat!
