Helen Pike
Helen has worked at Hearst UK for nearly 20 years, most recently on Best magazine as Deputy Lifestyle Editor.
Helen's covered all manner of topics during her time as a journalist – from fashion to gardening and even pets – but it's beauty that remains her big passion (and her bursting bathroom cabinet is proof of it).
Helen has contributed to Digital Spy's Top of the Shops newsletter since early 2025. When she's not searching for the latest deals or shopping trends, you can find Helen either building LEGO with her son or down at her allotment plot.
