Last nights Met gala was spectacular. The best red carpet we’ve seen all year. So many celebs embraced the punk couture theme which made it all the more interesting. At the end of the day no one does it like a model, Cara, Gisele and Anja looked fierce.

These 4 beauty bargains are perfect additions to your makeup without breaking the bank. Maybelline’s Rocket mascara gives massive volume with just a few coats. Miracle Dry Oil contains avocado, shea and olive oil for dry hair and skin. It drys almost instantly with absolutely no greasy feeling. The Joe Fresh Rose Gloss come in a variety of fresh colours to tint lips and keep them hydrated. The Sephora makeup sponge is a decent alternative to the beauty blender. The different shaped ends make detailed application and blending so easy. I love the little stand, to help keep your makeup station organized.

This show was so hot. Jean Paul Gaultier recreated the looks of some of the biggest icons from the past. Sade, Grace Jones, Jane Birkin, and Boy George were a few of the look-a-likes that strutted the runway. I loved how he sent multiple girls in the same look down the catwalk, for an even bigger statement. Over the top fabulousness!

Check out some of the fabulous work by makeup artist Lisa Eldridge. It comes as no surprise she has had a long career in the fashion industry, and continues to work with the most influential models, photographers, designers, and celebrities.
It’s been about a month since I started using the much talked about Clarisonic. I have to say it is living up to the hype, at least in some respects. I have noticed my skin is smoother and my pores do seem slightly less large, and my makeup is completely removed after 1 minute of use. Which brings me to what I really like which is the simplicity. I can’t stand anything that will add more time to my end of day routine. The 1 minute timed cleanse is broken up into increments. Starting with your forehead for 20 seconds then it beeps to tell you times up! Then you move to your nose and chin for another 20 secs, and finish with your cheeks which are timed at 10 seconds each. Another bonus is that it’s waterproof. Should you choose to wash your face in the shower, you just take the Clarisonic in with you. There is no particular cleanser required either, I always use Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil, and I continue to use it with Clarisonic.
All in all it has been a welcome addition to my beauty arsenal.
Spring florals with white backgrounds, and sheer fabrics add an airy feel to this trend. Wear with peachy nude lips, and nails to complete this feminine look for the season.

Rita Ora is on the cover of Elle magazine for May. The contrasting covers feature Rita in a classic 5o’s look and the other as a mouse. What really makes the images are the cool head pieces.
I’m quite looking forward to seeing the Great Gatsby. I’m not sure how good the actual movie will be, but the visual spectacle of the 1920′s looks amazing!

These are 6 of my most liked hair styles for Spring. I’ve been a big fan of the 2 texture look for a couple of seasons now. The wet and dry look at Rag & Bone was a definite fave. In a completely opposite textured look, Rick Owens’ some what Worzel Gummidge hair, is pretty cool. The Vera Wang birds nest is a great textured style also. For less of a statement I liked the deep side part at Calvin Klein, the bed head at Phillip Lim, and the fringe over the forehead at Chloe, all are easy to pull off.
Lower false lashes are a tricky thing. Sometimes they can look far too “false” for everyday wear, but when done right they really are cool. I like to use individual pieces rather than a full strip for a doe eyed look.
