I’ve got curls myself. Well, messy waves would be a better description. Confession: I’m always in a fight with my hair. It doesn’t work with me. Even with a diffuser my hair is not curly enough. But now I found a amazing blow-dryer who really works ( as a beauty journalist, I know a lot of dreamy beauty claims are false, but this one isn’t) It gives you sexy summer waves in a minute!
For some morning inspiration we’ve found this video from Another Magazine featuring a…..nailpolish. Chanel nailpolish to be exact. While the Chanel show is going on in Paris at the moment, this cute stop-motion film made by Quentin Jones (illustrator and animator) mends the little gap until our Chanel show report.
Still anxiously waiting for the movie to come out, we can already lavish ourselves with Alice in Wonderland goodies. The Urban Decay palette and O.P.I. nailpolishes just launched, and so is a selection of Swarovski items.
I can’t wait for Alice in Wonderland to hit the cinemas in March next year, directed by Tim Burton and where Johnny Depp finally threw of his Captain Jack Sparrow character, and adopted the likes of the Mad Hatter.
But I am not the only one who seems anxcious about the release of he movie based on Lewis Caroll’s fairytale. It even shakes up the fashion- and beautyworld…
It’s getting cold outside. The perfect time for hot coco and roasted marshmallows. But be careful what you might be roasting…
It’s quite a contrast, in the 80’s big brows were the standard, but in this millenium it seems to go in the direction of…no brow. Or the bleached brow, if you don’t want to pluck them.
Two ‘eco’ topics a day! That wasn’t premeditated. Let’s say we support everything that contributes to our environment but still gives a hint of stylishness to our daily life, and that happens to be fashion and beauty.
I am quite excited about this new brand: UNE by Bourjois. Especially their philosophy and image around the product, like ‘The beauty of tommorow’ is:
Ever wondered why the split between the teeth of Lara Stone suddenly became a charming beauty-flaw? She wasn’t the first designer-muse with that special mark. A long time ago some girl just popped out of nothing singing a song called ‘Joe le Taxi’. Her name was Vanessa Paradis. Not a striking beauty, but a particular little bird with a good bonestructure and a split between her teeth. Then the bird got caged by Jean Paul Goude to promote the Coco Chanel fragrance. In 2003 she promoted the collection of Chanel Cambon bags, and now this succesful singer, mother, actress and wife of Johnny Depp will show off her typical smile to promote ‘les rouges’ Chanel: the gorgeous red lipsticks of the brand.
….but for a reason. To celebrate 15 years of his make-up and skincare line, reknown make-up artist François Nars made a serie of 15 photographies, featuring his favorite fashion people and celebrities. The settings of the pictures were all inspired by the names of his iconic products.
