Go See HeArT BrEaKeR...

Saturday fun... Cinema for a change! Myself, Anna and Martin decided to do something civilised and not so party for a Saturday eve... We went to see HeartBreaker. I was pleasantly surprised it was so funny! I didn't know anything about this movie, I basically thought it was going to be a typical Hollywood Chick Flick...= Crap... it was French and F.U.N.N.Y and with some eyecandy (Romain Duris)! Highly recommend it if you want to go and see something easy and uplifting!
GO SEE, GO SEE!!!

Noi.se Is a magazine I normally get but Herakut I actually never heard of... but the graffitti art they do is amazing! is two artist collaborating together since 2004 check out their site!


Speaking of art... my very dear friend Lan has just published a book called MAKE UP IS ART... it was a while ago but it's really good and I am so proud of her for completing it. Ever since I got to know her she has had this book in the back of her mind and now it is finally out!
I LOVE the COVER shot by Camille Sanson

CLeVeR... and it's Bobby Brown

So So So sorry for not written in ageeeeeeeeeees! I have been in the middle of moving house and haven't had internet until recently! BT is the WORST PHONE COMPANY EVER!!! USELESS!!! RUBBISH!!!

Anyways let's go on to a more interesting subject: Concealer! I came across Bobbi Brown's concealer at the airport and thought I would try it.
It's a concealer that comes with a very sheer loose powder, all in one - clever eh!?!? I am not a huge fan of Bobbi Brown products in general, but what I have tried so far I like. I think it is just because I am not too familiar with their products that makes me not go fanatic over them but it might change! I love their foundation palette and lip palette they do (perfect for makeup artists = space saving!)
sorry couldn't help digging my finger in it - a bit messy I know!
top & bottom
I like this concealer to... it's very light and creamy but it covers at the same time, it's perfect that the powder comes with it as it is space saving big time in your makeup bag. I probably wouldn't use it when I am working as the packaging is a bit annoying for my professional kit, but for personal use it is excellent. For anyone of you who likes Laura Mercier's concealers this is very similar texture wise...

Wolf and Badger new designer launch..

I went to Wolf and Badger boutique in Notting Hill - great concept - different designers hire a suitable space for 3 months so the shop is constantly changing - really good stuff as well - and loads of different designers!! I found some garments I loved and loads of amazing jewellery as well.. (I actually went back the following day and purchased a top and 2 pairs of earrings in there are still on my 'wish list'...
I went straight up to this dress and said 'soooo Rihanna' to my friend!! Funny enough, the designer went up to me 2 minutes later when she saw I photographed it and said; Ahh, you like my dress yeah?! I love that your are photographing it, I actually made this one for Rihanna... Haha.. I told her, I kind a new just when I saw it.. and she was loving it!!
Åsa, one of my best friends (I have known her since we were 6 years old..) that was visiting me from Sweden for a few days (she's kind of always visiting me so I'm sure she will be featured in this blog on a regular basis..).
Afterparty at BBB (Beach Blanket Babylon) on Ledbury Road, Notting Hill.
Åsa wanted to be a hand model for the evening (I have like 40 pics of her hands, haha).. (I did the same thing in Stockholm the other day - will show ya 2morrow..)

"Searching in-between the lines"

Working as a stylist you must be able to source any kind of random clothes / accessorises needed for any shoot. I love it when I came across some 'trashingly' amazing shops that I know is gonna become useful one day.. This is a great example...

Such a great combo...

Am I loving milk choc mixed with salt liquorice or what??!!! Salt liquorice and crisps is another fantastic mix. And It HAS to be SALT liquorice, the stuff you find here in the UK (like sweet licerice) is tastes like ☔♜♞⚡⚉➽₩... That's why we have the fabulous Swedish shop tho (slightly overpriced but hey, I'm still a regular..).

Rihanna wore one of these recently in her video.. Loving the shoes inside the jump suits..
LOVE these cakes.. AMAZING... I tried some of the 'creations' and so yummy as well.. Normally it only looks good and taste sugar. I had some round fun looking thing on a stick and it was delicious.... Really loving these! Check em out, Gothic Cookie, the website aint that interesting tho but they are obviously very good at customising..
