  • Beauty: Nail-Back Painting
    As every woman knows, an outfit can be made or indeed broken by the tiniest detail, and a sure-fire way to ruin even the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous of ensembles is a shoddy manicure. A true fashionista would never be seen proudly parading her new Alexander McQueen Novak with uneven, unkempt and grubby nails - *shudder*. My manicurist LuLu must cringe when I book my...

  • Controversy: L’Oreal Gets Under Beyoncé’s Skin
    If you doubted the power of the blog, doubt no longer. What started as a simple post by TMZ in which readers were asked their thoughts on the new Feria ads featuring a “lighter than usual” Beyoncé has now turned into a controversial media circus.

    With a summer in London that’s more like a winter in LA, you need some eye-catching make-up to brighten up those dreary days. The latest collection from

  • Garnier Eye Roll-on: The New Beauty Pick-Me-Up
    What with all of the air-brushed, picture perfect models gazing at you from the pages of every fashion glossy, looking good isn’t an option these days, it’s simply a necessity. We know deep down that these models don’t really have such perfect skin, but we still strive to recreate that flawless look. I don’t know about you, but with all the stresses and strains...

  • Sephora Je T’aime!
    With every trip across the Channel to Paris, comes a trip to Sephora on the fashionable Champs Elysees! I don’t know what it is about this beauty brand that draws me in and makes my heart beat a little faster. I mean, living in London I should be more than satisfied with my choice of make-up brands. I have Mac, Bobbi Brown and high street favourite, Barry M on my...

  • Love lipstick? Then you’ll love Lipstick Queen.
    So, you may remember awhile back that over at My Fashion Life we interviewed Poppy King, the vivacious Lipstick Queen and author of a book by the same name (which is great, by the way!). I had the opportunity to work with her at my old 9-5 job, and she is fabulous. Since I am now at a new 9-5 job, I can write about how fabulous she is, and specifically how much I love...

  • Beauty: The Nars Multiple (Orgasm)
    Nars have recently added some new shades/colours for Spring 08, to their existing line of products which I was lucky enough to test out recently. For the past month or so I’ve been using the Nars duo eyeshadow in Alhambra, Lipgloss/Lip stain duo in Stolen Kisses/Pampa, The Multiple in Orgasm and Lip Gloss in Greek Holiday. I’ll start with my thoughts on, The Multiple...

  • Charlie Mindu: A Cut Above The Rest
    A trendy haircut often cements your fashion status, so where better to look than to Charlie Le Mindu, hairdresser extraordinaire. Having recently relocated to UK shores from Berlin and taken residence in a deserted warehouse in the London’s east end, Charlie is to hairdressing what Gaultier is to fashion.

  • Gwyneth Paltrow: Short Story!
    You can’t swing your long locks at the moment without hitting a whole bevvy of style icons who have taken the chop (most recently Gwyneth Paltrow). Short hair seems to be the official length de jour. Usually it is pretty safe to ignore hair ‘trends’ due to hair not being, well, disposable. But there is something alluring modern about a sharp and easy...
