I always like to read posts where people tell about the source of their inspiration. Last month I wrote about Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour and this month I want to post some photos of Emily Blunt. If you follow me on twitter you’ve probably noticed the new background. And yes, that is Emily from Vanity Fair magazine. I have to say that I absolutely adore her! She is so beautiful, elegant and always looks perfect! I have a lot of photos of her so it was hard for me to chose only some of them.

Emily Olivia Leah Blunt (born 23 February 1983) is an English actress known for her work in My Summer of Love, The Young Victoria and The Devil Wears Prada. She won the 2007 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film for the BBC TV film Gideon’s Daughter. Blunt stars alongside notable actors such as Anthony Hopkins and Benicio del Toro in The Wolfman. Read more here

More Illamasqua reviews! This time it is lipstick! I am sure that now you all know that coral is the hottest colours this season. I already made a lip swatch of one of my favourite coral lipsticks and you can check it out here. That shade is a coral with orange tones and if you are looking for coral with pink tones – Illamasqua’s Over is a perfect shade for you to get!

So what is written about the liptick at the website?

Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from matt to glossy. Illamasqua Lipstick glides on smoothly, for the perfect all-night pout.

Over is a bright coral pink with matt finish

I am sorry for the fingerprints
