Airbrushing school photos… But are you meant…

Even though I don’t know you, there’s a fairly good chance (especially, if like me you went to a rural high school and finished studying at said high school in the ‘90s) you didn’t look your most dazzling in your school photos. But this is the joy of high school photos! Being able to look back on how clueless we were is what makes our transformation into ‘An Adult’ so divine! And what makes pulling them out to have a look so hilarious! So when I read that school photography companies are offering airbrushing for a small extra fee these days, by golly, I hit the roof. (It was quite high and required a ladder.)... more

Five Under $25? Heck yes.

I popped onto The Circle yesterday and talked about my fave bestest makeup items for under 25 clams. It was a viewer question that inspired me, and look, if there’s one thing I know about viewers, it’s that they are the same as readers and users and they LOVE knowing about high-val beauty options. To this I say: LET THEM EAT CAKE! (AND WEAR GREAT LIPSTICK WHILE DOING SO!)... more

Abbie Cornish’s new ‘Suffer In Your Jocks,…

Nothing says “I’m over you” to your ex-boyfriend than hiring a Monster truck and gleefully driving over his car, or in the case of Miss ABBIE CORNISH (who recently split up with one RYAN PHILLIPPE) chopping all your hair off, dying it gigablonde and wearing a spectacular red dress (and a saucy smirk) down the red rug.... more

Ten reasons I think Sarah Jessica Parker looks incredible…

It was taken a few days back at the 9th Annual Greater New York Human Rights Campaign Gala in, you guessed it, Detroit. No, wait, New York. And I think Miss PARKER looks just luminous. Here’s why:

Half-up, half-down hair: Dudes love it.

I dated a boy once who had a ‘thing’ for half-up, half-down hair (where you pull back the top part of your hair, but leave the bottom half out) in the same way Miss HEIDI MONTAG has a thing for plastic surgery. He was mad for it! Said it drove him wild! Asked for it all the time! And guess what. He wasn’t the only guy who felt this way. Boys LOVE THIS hairstyle.... more

Makeunder: Taylor Swift

She’s a cutie and she’s funny and she was courteous enough not to kick Kanye in the lap walnuts when he ruined her Big Moment and she can sing real good, but whenever I see her photographed, all done up, I have this desire to go and make her under. ... more

The Unofficial PRIMPED Beauty Packaging Awards, which…

Great packaging or brilliance in application due to clever packaging design makes a dramatic difference with a product. I was reminded of this today when I pondered the handy little lid on the top of my Molton Brown body wash, a new sliding lid they’ve implemented across all of their products, and which keeps things neat and entirely non-spilly when one travels. ... more

Tinted Moisturisers: Which are the best?

A tinted moisturiser, one makeup artist once told me, is a complete crock of shit. It is neither a decent moisturiser, nor decent makeup - it does both things by half, and neither of them very well. I saw her “logic”, but that didn’t stop me from my throwing my shoe at her and telling her to WAKE UP. Tinted moisturiser is a marvelous, wonderful thing, and I use one (or a mix of several) every single day of my life.... more

Matchy-matchy eye shadow to dress-o: Right or wrongo?…

Me? I reckon it’s a circumstantial thing. So, say for instance you’re wearing a frisky, safari-style latte coloured dress and some lovely dark wooden heels. You might very well go for a lovely taupe shadow on the lids, a shade which very much matches your dress. This would be a Matchy-Matchy win.... more

Two ladies; two styles of red lip: Which do you like…

There is a huge spectrum of Red Lip, ranging from gently-bitten stains through to full, rich, vibrant, fire engine red lipsticks, and with lots of red glosses and mattes and so on in between. Right now, and especially when I was on holiday (Oh, did I mention I went to Greece? Only 257 times? Oh, so I did. Carry on) I am doing the long-last red liquid lipstick (Revlon Colorstay Liquid Lipstick in Tomato) with several kilos of bronzer (either CoverGirl, Clinique, Lancome or La Prairie. Yeah, uh, I’m a little greedy when it comes to bronzers right now. But they’re all different! Give different looks and effects!)... more
