I've managed to grab myself a bit of time with the delightful Sian Sutherland one of the founders of the brand, to learn a bit about her, and get some gossip on forthcoming products.

By the time I was 15, I was so programmed to this, that I would eat 8 tomatoes, half a cucumber and smoothies on the bus home from school everyday, thinking this was normal.

We're big fans of Rodial here at Kiss and Makeup, having previously raved over their fab A List Cleanser, Glamotox Peel and Tummy Tuck cream so I was happy to get some one on one time with Maria Hatzistefanis, the creator of the brand.
