MUSHROOM.

By Barry M.
Maybe more of a winter colour, but with the colours out this summer (peach/brown/beige) tones this colour  suits perfectly.

Abbey & Terry

My favourite model, Abbey Lee Kershaw has now teamed together with my favourite photographer Terry Richardson to do an ad campaign for Moussy.
More photos of Abbey Lee by Terry.


'Ta ta for now'.

I have tried & tested the eye concealer by Primark.
I give it a 6/10.
Why? Because it was the right thickness but the colour didnt blend in too well with my skin tone, you could tell it wasnt high quality make up by the way the concealer sat on my skin.

'Tan Tailor' talks safe.

I could have really done with this news for my final major project.
James Read ('tan tailor'), a celebrity spray tanner known for his customized bronzes has opened up a new spa in the Sanderson Hotel, berners street, london just in time to reap the benefits of the infamous tanning bed fallout of 2009.
Although i love sunbeds i would prefer to use fake tan to save my skin. BUTTTT i just look like i have been tangoed. Any offers to take me to this new spa im not going to turn down.

Polish 'Melba' by Topshop

I tried and tested it.
I give it an 8/10.
Why? Because it stayed on my lips for at least an hour before i had to reapply it, the colour comes out well also fairly subtle. Personally though i prefer lipsticks to gloss.

OBSESSED with Barry M.

I cant stop buying Barry M nail polishes.
All the colours are amazing.
This colour 'Pure turquoise' is such a cool colour for the summer the perfect colour to brighten up any outfit.

Back to Topshop make up.

Continuing from my earlier post, i checked out Topshop's new make up range.
I was so wrong. The packaging is such good quality and it looks great.
I found a new nail colour that i am now obsessed with and very on trend this summer.
Nails. 'Parma violet'
I also picked up a few other products that i cant wait to try out. As i am loving orange at the moment i stuck to orange tones.
Polish. 'Melba'.
Gloss. 'Heatwave'
Lips. 'Desert'
As this packaging is white, I hope my new make up doesnt get dirty quickly. There is nothing i hate more then dirty make up. I like my make up to look fresh and clean. HA.
I now need to try these products out. Ill keep you updated.

PREP + PRIME.

By M.A.C
In my early teen years i used to suffer with redness in my skin. I went to 'Pout' in London, Covent Garden and they gave me a cream that would help keep the redness down. Although it was good it didnt last long.
BUT i have no found a product by M.A.C that not only stops making me look like a tomato but also blots away access oil on my face and improves the application of foundation and powder.
SICKKK
For £16.50 its definitely worth it and lasts about half a year when using it once everyday.

I wish i could swap my 'Batiste' for 'Oribe'.

As disgusting as it sounds i HATE washing my hair.
So if i can help it i wash it about once every five days. My trick to not having to wash my hair all the time is Batiste. It makes my hair look less greasy and makes it so much bigger. BIG HAIR IS THE BEST.


But now i have seen a new product that i really want to get my hands on.
ORIBE dry texturizing spray.
This isnt a dry shampoo like Batiste but a matte powder spray that gets rid of oil and grime and converts your hair after washing it into that deliberately dirty, lived in texture that can only really be achieved by a hair stylist. It roughens and thickens hair (sounds perfect for those big hair lovers) without weighing it down or leaving an obvious trail of dusty residue like Batiste can do after a few sprays.
Im not sure if this product is available in the UK but in America it is retailing at $39.
BRING IT TO ENGLAND PLEASE, I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!

Primark makeup.

I headed into town today, im not sure how i have never spotted make up in primark before, they have quite a range in there.
I picked up a bright green metallic eyeshadow and an undereye concealer.
I am yet to test the products but i must say the packaging is pretty cool with the pop art imagery and quirky phrases.
Ill keep you posted on the quality.

Christian Dior love colour.

Christian Dior's make up for their S/S 2010 collection is HOT.
Strong lavender, subtle orange and pastel green lids was used with contrasting blood red lips.
I wish i suited these bright colours on my eyelids, im going to experiment.

TOPSHOP new make up range.

HMMMMMMMM.


Im still ummming and arrring about this new Topshop make up range.
I have already been into the store and checked out the colours, and its not anything new that i havent already seen from M.A.C, the packaging looks pretty tacky, it just looks a bit cheap to me, but i could be wrong. Probably shouldn't diss it before i try. Im going to purchase a few items myself and check out the quality, ill get back to you and give the products rates out of ten.

NEW WEBSITE.

COMING SOON!!!
