This is not really makeup related but I just really like this trailer and would love to see the film!

By the way, if you love Paris – make sure that you check out the amazing posts about it written by Amy over at Cafe Makeup.

Would you like to see this film? The trailer is beautiful and so inspiring.

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now and the conversation with the lovely Daniel Sandler on twitter(don’t forget to follow him…yes, that Daniel Sandler, Make Up Artist, and yes, you are right when you are thinking about the Watercolours ).

So today’s topic is makeup in films and shows. The question is… Do you think that every time you see a beauty product in a film or show – the company paid for that. Or was it just a part of the plot that the actress had to use lipstick/mascara/powder/perfumes/whatever and it was just a random choice, not a particular brand.

If it is a product placement (this is how it is called) why do they show the product for a second only and, unless you are  very good at brands, you will never recognize what brand it was. Plus most people couldn’t care less, only us, makeup fans, always want to know what product was shown (or is it just me?!)

The other question. Who cares? I mean would you get something because Carrie uses this beauty product or Blair uses that beauty product?  Maybe I would care and this would influence me when I was  a teenager, although I can’t imagine where from I would have money to buy Chanel makeup, but now… I mean come on? Does it really work?

The other thing is when you see your favourite celebrity using a certain makeup product in real life! Remember how Angelina Jolie was spotted using Chantecaille gloss? Well, I read that it was sold out within hours. Amazing, isn’t it?!

So

I’ve heard a lot about SUQQU brushes and how incredible they are, so I though that I would love to get those for myself. Until I saw the prices. I can see myself getting the eye brushes, although they are pricey,  I can justify spending around £50 on a brush but as for the face brushes…

SUQQU Cheek Brush is £85.00 “Award winning luxurious brush for natural finishing application of colour to your cheeks.” And SUQQU Face Brush is… £168.00 (!!!) “Award winning luxurious brush with an abundance of soft hair that delivers powder gently and evenly”

Yes, I still want to buy them and I am sure that they are amazing but unfortunately right now I can’t afford spending that much on a brush. I think I could get the Cheek Brush after all but the Face one?! Not now at least, which is a shame, as I would really love to own these.

It looks like that almost everyone already knows that October is the month of Breast Cancer awareness but did you know that March is a month of Ovarian Cancer awareness?

I got this Press Release which I want to share with you as I find it important for us all to know! So please support this campaign if you can.

“Leading professional nailcare brand OPI is teaming with ovarian cancer charity Ovacome to launch Teal Tips: an initiative to encourage women to wear teal coloured nail polish and prompt awareness of the fourth most common cancer affecting women in the UK.

Teal is the recognised colour for ovarian cancer and an up-and-coming shade in fashion and home decor. OPI and Ovacome hope that by wearing the polish, women will get their friends and colleagues talking about the disease and its symptoms.

OPI’s UK distributor Lena White is donating £1 to Ovacome for each bottle of its Ski Teal We Drop shade it sells during March in upmarket outlets such as Harrods, Selfridges and John Lewis as well as salons and spas throughout the country.

Bottles sold during March will carry a label highlighting Ovacome’s BEAT campaign, which spells out the main symptoms of ovarian cancer: B is for bloating that is persistent and doesn’t come and go, E is for eating less and feeling fuller, A is for abdominal pain you feel most days and T is for talking to your GP. Also BEAT information literature will be included with the bottles, which are also available to individuals via mail order.”

To order your bottle of OPI Ski Teal We Drop for £10.50 contact Lena White on www.lenawhite.co.uk

You should also know that:

“Ovacome has launched an online symptoms tracker that women can use to accurately record their symptoms and track them over a period of two weeks or more. The tool was designed by gynaecological specialists and GPs to make sure it does not scare women unnecessarily, but will alert women to visit their GP if there is cause for concern. If this is the case, women can print off a detailed report of their symptoms and take it along to their GP.  You can see all the details here  http://www.beatonline.info/”

I have a lot of page views every day so I would love to thank each one of you as this means a lot to me!

Some people may think  that this blog isn’t  personal enough  as I don’t really write about myself  (well, yes this is a makeup blog, not a personal journal but it is nice to see the person behind it) but I have to assure you that it is.  Makeup4all really reflects my personality… I am quite reserved and keep most things to myself in real life so it is the same here on  the blog.

But as I like when blogs are 90% about the main topic and the other 10% are about other things, including personal posts, I thought I’d share some things with you today…

Today was a lovely Spring day so I’ve enjoyed a walk in the centre with my sweet friends. It looks like that most people I know already planned their summer vacations. I am probably one of those very few who
