Having your beauty sleep interrupted by a hungry baby screaming way too early every morning surely does nothing good for your mirror reflection, and certainly not for the eye area. These two products have helped me to reduce puffy eyes these last 2 months along with litres of water, thumbs up!
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye and Clinique All About Eyes Serum
I’m a huge fan of strong fully eyebrows ala Cara Delivigne and Arizona Muse but most of us need a little help to achieve a fuller eye-brow-look even if we are careful pluckers. A favourite product of mine that last forever and doesn’t cost much is this fill-in-brow-powder by BareMinerals, easy to apply and perfect for a natural look. Brow Color £11, and Brow Brush £10.
Tomorrow these 3 new spring 2013 colours will hit a Chanel counter near you, and No. 571 Fracas could possible be the exact blue’ish pink colour I’ve been searching for.
Nail polish favourites of mine right now are Essie’s nr.487 Berry Hard and Chanel’s old classic nr.18 Rouge Noir, both are perfect shades of deep burgundy with brown undertones and quite similar, but Essie’s slightly lighter which I don’t mind, also stay’s like a rock and half the price of Chanel.
I’ve tipped about the Camelia oil earlier, but now after trying several other products by Elemis I’m totally hooked as they make the skin so soft and lean, and perfect when you want to spoil yourself with a luxurious home spa treat. “New-ins” are Elemis Lime and Ginger Salt Glow, Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk Bath
, and off course a refill of my favourite oil, Elemis Japanese Camellia Body Oil Blend

Every year I get this idea to chop a fringe, and this year like every other year, it’s not very likely to happen due to my unruly curls. However if I had straight hair like 60′s icon and beauty Francoise Hardy, the chop would have been done ages ago, her cut is just too cool for school and will remain my hair-inspo-dream for 2012 that never happened.
Happy Friday to all of you superstars!
Vogue Paris November 2012 – Kendra Spears by Lachlan Bailey
I want to wear some colour on my lips these days ala the deep red shade above, however the problem for me whenever I’ve used covering lipsticks in the past, especially at this time of year, is that my lips get too dry. Any miraculous tips out there on a deep red moisturizing lipstick?
I’m doing just like Victoria Beckham and swearing to this oil blend by Elemis during my pregnancy. After trying different oils out there this one’s a clear favourite, it’s not too strong on the nose and sinks into skin very quickly, hopefully it will prevent skin damages, crossing my fingers…..

I wasn’t too found of some of Balmain SS13 80-90′s power-suit-women marching down the runway, with shoulder paddings out of this world, but I absolutely loved their hair. I used to wear this kind of not-so-perfect-braided-hair as a kid, and now I feel tempted to give it another go, with a pair of cool earrings, denim, leather, or a cozy knit, it’s so fresh!
I’m giving away this fall’s hottest nail colour that I’ve mentioned before, it’s Chanel’s limited edition Frenzy that will hit most counters on the 24th. In order to have a chance to be the lucky one, all you need to do is comment on this post, no motivation is needed, just your name will be fine, and I’ll draw one random “winner” on Friday 17th.
The lucky one was drawn on Friday the 17th and goes by the name of Marielle Furnes, congrats!

… you’ll find in a nail polish bottle by Chanel this fall called Frenzy 559, which I had on my nails while shooting in Paris. It’s the perfect creamy grey polish with a hint of lavender, and if you like me prefer more discreet and nude’ish looking nails, you’re gonna love this one. In stores from 24th of August, join the queue!
Latest addition in my bathroom closet is this instant nail polish remover (£8) I got at Sephora while in Paris last week, just dip your fingers into the box and turn it around, no grease and nail polish gone, magique! Best polish I’ve ever tried, dermatologically tested, smells good and definitely living up to it’s name.
And while we are at it, hanging by the pool I mean, these are my new favorites to avoid getting burned. Except from succeeding to protect my fair winter skin from the tropical sun, these products are super moisturizing, long lasting and smells wonderful, so well worth those extra pennies, thumbs up!
I should have been on a plane to Bangkok right now, instead I’m stuck at a hotel and a rescheduled flight for tomorrow, with no access to my suitcase, help!!!
Anyway, last couple of days have been super hectic and only a few hours before I headed for Heathrow today I styled a last minute hair shoot where I improvised by wrapping the models in gorgeous Scandinavian jewellery and garbage bags, high shiny surface, so very fall 2012.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Chanel’s spring nail, April, May and June, and June looks like the perfect creamy orange I’ve been looking for!
