This year, the hottest makeup trends are all about playing with the old and new - we’re seeing makeup artists going with a fresh take on some modern classics. Envision a fusion of the timeless beauty of classical Hollywood’s darling Grace Kelly with the fresh-faced elegance of premiere regular Keira Knightley. However this season a visit to the powder room will involve more than merely reapplying lipstick. To fully encapsulate the look of Spring 2012 one needs to master the eyes of a diva. Think of the timeless beauty of Ingrid Bergman en-route to the dance floor of a laser light show in Ibiza and you’ll be ready for the red carpet!   Bold red lips ...

Have you ever bought makeup simply because you could not resist its adorbs packaging? or in the case of M·A·C junkie out there, for the sake of keeping up with the latest collection? I am pretty sure most of you have once emptied your wallet for similar excuse. So I was digging through myy stash the other day to pack them into the traincase and realized that I have some products that I hardly touch or have never even used since I purchased them. Then I said to myyself, what better way to get rid of these babies than a blog sale! Please make sure you have read the description in regards to the condition of each item prior to placing an order.

An overdue post but better late than never I say? So few months back, I was asked by a friend for a favor which I could not say no to. It was to lend a hand as part of the make-up team in a musical held by our local Catholic community. The preparation had taken them months but I could only make it to the last two rehearsals to do a test run on the drama casts.

There were heaps of moral stories behind it and so were talented musicians, creative crews and brilliant casts. Songs performed includes but not limited to Beyonce ‘Listen’, Glee Cee-Lo Green ‘Forget You’ …

I see bows and plaid! Now who wouldn't squeal with excitement at the sight of the promo picture? I know I would :D The "Très Vichy" collection is inspired by no other than Brigitte Bardot, the French sex symbol. She was probably the most popular French actress during the 50's and 60's, known for her sex-kitten style that we now see in Pamela Anderson and Claudia Schiffer or should I say GUESS girls? Make Up For Ever's founder and director, Dany Sanz found her inspiration from the gingham or "vichy" dress that Bardot wore on her wedding to French actor, Jacques Charrier in 1959. The dress itself was designed by French designer, Jacques Esterel as pictured bel...

Christmas is just 8 days away which also means we are ending 2010 very soon. I will be flying back to myy home country, Indonesia, this coming Sunday to celebrate Christmas and New Year with the fam. Myy trip back home was pretty last minute as I was actually meaning to spend the summer holiday here in Melbourne for once. Struggling with uni and exam situation, I could not be bothered with the whole ‘trouble’ of trip planning but as soon as the results were revealed – which were not as good as I expected but good enough – myy mum finally convinced me to go home. I don’t know about some of you, but we believe that no one should spend Christmas alone. It probably has been …
