Wow what can I say ,love the place its so cool.Michael and i had a busy old time.I went for two days and manged to pack in a photoshoot,hang out with the lovely Amy owner of Fringe salon and her cool team.It was great to meet some real New Yorkers.Did some serious make up shopping.Rickys on Broadway was my fav,so many goodies, had everything you could possibly want to do with hair and beauty.Sephora and Mac were great too so cheap! I was like a make up mule walking through custums on the way home.

Sun has been out and my legs were day glow white, cant remember the last time my legs and arms saw daylight so had a panic buy of fake tan.I was pleasenly surprized when i used Loreals new Nutri summer body expertise.It was easy to use,didnt make me look like a umper lumper and really smelt nice,not the normal gerbal wee smell.Its half price at superdrug at the moment!
I’ve had a couple of jobs lately that I’ve needed to use body paints on. I love rediscovering the old school make-up of the theatre. Charles Fox in Covent Garden is an Aladdin’s den of Kryolan neon Aquacolor palettes, cream colours and beautiful Fardel loose glitters. As well as theatrical looks, I’ve been using the Aquacolor neon palette for cool feline eyes and bright lips for strong looks. The colours are solid and matte, which is really ‘in’ at the moment, they are also water-based so wash off easily.Have a look at 125 magazine there is an amazing beauty story by Rankin and Kylie is also working the look in her new video. The Fardel glitter is really fine so you can dab it on top of your eye shadow and it will not drop and it looks fab!
Finally Nars has brought out the wonderful blush in orgasm in the multiple cream stick ,pricey at £27 but worth every penny.I have been using the powder blush for years and everyone you use it on wants to run out and buy some.This will have the same effect.When a find I shop that hasnt sold out of the Nars multiple I will be stocking up on a few!!
I am enjoying the come back of matte lipstick and have used it on a few shoots.Did a music video a couple of weeks ago and used Glam by mac.It looked amazing on sarah lead singer of’ Lazenby’ but when reappled all day its sooo drying to the lips,i lightly dabed a very small amount of balm to the the lips and blotted so not losing the mattness but keeping the poutiness.Before you put any lipstick on make sure your lips arnt dry,elizabeth arden eight hour cream is my fav.If you have got flaky lips you can but a fair amount of eight hour cream and buff lips lighty with a babies tooth brush and make sure your drinking enough water.Try russian red and Glam by mac for perfect glamourous lips.Natasha
I love fashion week,not for the clothes(sorry Drew) but for the fablous hair and make up.Thank god the “no make up look” wasnt on trend! There was lots of bold and beautiful ,if not a littled twisted looks from Noki and Comme Des Garcons even marc jacobs embraced the bonkers with draged through a bush back wards hair,my fav was Galliano’s fairies with spray painted gold pin curls ,baby blues and pinks on the eyes and lips.Spikey brows and lashes.The flapper girls looked amazing too with dark eyes and diamonte encrusted lips.Looking forward to seeing what London comes up with!
Are you feeling like your skin is dull and grey,much like the winter skys.Well worry no more girls Giorgio Armani have come to the rescue with Radient pigments in 18.Its a liquid blush that leaves the skin with a gorgeous fresh glow.You wont be disapointed!
Loved the catwalk make-up at Alexander McQueen’s Autumn Winter show - Cleo Patra lookey likeys with shocking neon shades - FABULOUS!
I’ve never really got on with lip plumping products, always found them too harsh on the lips but Soap and Glory have converted me.
I love their pack of 3 lip plumping colours. The colours are gorgeous and effective too - just a slight tingle for an Angelina Jolie pout! Can’t be a bad thing.
