Lately I’ve been into nail polishes more than I should be. Last month I’ve got 13 new nail polishes, and for someone who used to have only three, that is a lot. The worst thing that I want more and more, and more.
Right now I have RGB, Julep, Rescue Beauty Lounge, Zoya (yes, I haven’t tried Zoya yet), Leighton Denny, Nails Inc (yes, I know), SpaRitual, Nubar (really) and I could go on my ‘to try list’. But on top of my wish-list is Barielle’s Myrza’s Meadow.
I’ve been wanting it ever since it launched which was in Spring 2010. Have no idea why I still don’t have it. Will have to get it as soon as possible.
By the way, since I am so into nail polishes, there will be a special nail polish section in the Spring’s Magazine ![]()
What nail polish is on top of your wish list?
Read MoreFinally, here is the second giveaway to celebrate Makeup4all turning THREE! Part one was here.
This time it’s a special Twitter giveaway (yes, there will be a Facebook one, too, so don’t worry).
I’ve picked up a glass nail file, my favourite nail polish of 2011 which is Rimmel Funtime Fuchsia (nail swatch) and GOSH Holographic (nail swatch) as everyone was asking for it.
So what do you have to do to enter?
Several days ago I’ve got an e-mail from Coty introducing the new CK ONE COLOR Cosmetics and the first advertising for the line with the gorgeous Lara Stone.
Besides Lara Stone we will see such people in the future campaigns: British model/songwriter Ruby Aldridge; Tanzanian model Herieth Paul; Australian model Abbey Lee Kershaw; British model Eliza Cummings; Chinese model Fei Fei Sun; and American model Ehren Dorsey; as well as male models, Swedish artist Viggo Janason and Russian model/rapper Yuri Pleskun.
There will be over 130 products and they are supposed to capture the Calvin Klein DNA which is ‘ authentic, confident, and cool’.
Here is what Tom Murry, President & Chief Executive Officer, Calvin Klein, Inc says: “With its fragrance roots, expanding into a color cosmetics line was a natural progression for the ck one brand. This latest extension embodies the energy and free spirit of ck one, offering fresh and unique beauty products that are ideal for today’s youthful, independent consumer.”
Exclusive online content and retailer partnerships will be launched in spring 2012.
Read MoreI am sorry that there were no reviews yesterday. Did not schedule one ahead and was very tired when I eventually got home. I even overslept the breakfast with my girlfriends today…
So I think today I’ll just show you some latest photos from my camera.
First of all, I’ve got myself a basket for the makeup that I am currently using so that I can keep in separately from everything else.
Here is how my ‘makeup basket’ looks like now.
Speaking of makeup storage, here is the Japonesque medium case in
I have got the details on how you can create the looks of Christina Ricci, Holliday Grainger, Helena Bonham Carter and Kristen Wiig from BAFTA 2012 using GIORGIO ARMANI COSMETICS.
Christina Ricci
To accentuate Christina’s beautiful heart shape face, make-up artist Sam Bryant applied Fluid Sheer illuminating fluid in 11 just above the cheek bones to add dewiness and lift. Sheer Bronzer in 1 was swept under the cheek bones and onto temples for definition and warmth to compliment Christina’s beautiful golden gown. For the final touches Sam added a touch of Sheer Blush in 10 on to the apples of the cheeks for a subtle pop of colour.
Christina’s eyebrows are naturally well defined so Sam simply elongated them using Brow Defining Pencil in 2 to create a polished look.
Holliday Grainger
A-list make-up artist Florrie White was used to create Holliday’s fresh 50’s look to compliment her stunning champagne embellished Armani Privè gown.
Florrie loves the a classic but playful look for Holliday, ‘By keeping the skin dewy and highlighted, the lashline defined and adding a pop of colour, Holliday was still very refined but with a modern play with colour.’
After prepping Hollidays’s skin with Crema Nera Mineral Prima Lotion, Emma applied a fine layer of Luminous Silk Foundation in 2 over her face and a touch of High Precision Concealer in 2 under the eyes to brighten. Lasting Silk Foundation in 4 was applied over the top of the apples of the cheeks and temples to give Holliday an ethereal bronzed glow, cheeks were given a natural flush with Blushing Fabric Second Skin Blush in 1.
Holliday’s large blue eyes were made party proof with Eyes to Kill Intense Eyeshadows. Emma applied shade 11 in the inner corner of her eyes and swept over her eyelids for a soft glow of gold. She then applied a fine line from her top inner lid all away along her lashline and slightly winged it out with Maestro Eye Liner in 1 for the perfect 50’s cateye flick. Emma then smudged a little Eyes to Kill eyeshadow in 6 under her outer and lower lashline. After curling her lashes she applied at least 3 coats of Eyes to Kill Mascara in 1 to make her lashes dramatic and long, then combed them through to keep their individual definition.
Holliday’s eyebrows were lengthened and defined with Brow Defining Pencil in 2.
