In the summer time...

In the summer time when the weather is fine... Orange is the new red! I'm loving this MAC lipstick in the colour Morange.
To suit my skin tone, I usually add a browny pink liner underneath all over the lips to deepen the colour slightly.

MakeUp for Date Night

"Women seem to do their best makeup when they're in love or going on a date. A red gloss creates a more powerful look. And when you opt for strong eyes and a soft lip, you're creating this message that says 'kiss me'. The strong-lip, soft-eye combination says 'I'm beautiful, but don't touch me'"


- Tom Pecheux, makeup artist for Estee Lauder

Armani's new creation - Gloss D'armani

The Cinema Lacquer


Armani's gorgeous new lip gloss comes in many shades and has hi def colour, shine and is long lasting.


What do I love most about it? It feels silky and not sticky!

Winter Fragrance - Miss Dior Cherie

Winter is the perfect oppportunity to smell like mandarins, strawberry leaves, violets, jasmines, caramel popcorn, wild strawberry sorbet, musk and patchoulis - all notes of Miss Dior Cherie fragrance.

Interesting history:
1947 - The launch of Miss Dior, the first ever Dior perfume

2005 - Miss Dior Cherie launched by the infamous John Galliano, inspired by the Stevie Wonder song "My Cherie Amour" and a Dior dress of the 1940's called "Cherie".

2011 - The sexy Natalie Portman and director Sofia Coppola relaunched the fragrance again by creating an ad.

"I do not want to rebrand a classic, nor would the new Miss Dior want to wear a re-bottled Miss Dior. As fashion evolves so must its scent, she needs to have something that captures her in the moment of today" - John Galliano

1940's Make-up Look - The Red Lipstick

This winter we're going back to the 1940's.. it's all about the red lipstick and plenty of mascara!

Dior's Diorific Lipstick in Brun Macotte (Bungee Brown) is a nice safe red for all skin tones..

Vintage Max Factor
