BENEFIT COSMETICS :-)

For your own Benefit:-))
I love,love,loooove these two products from Benefit and I wanted to share a beauty secret with you........
I NEVER put on make-up without wearing
primer & eye- concealer, ever!

And the BEST products for me so far,come from Benefit cosmetics!
................................

The
POREfessional

Why I love it!
Porefessional is UK's BEST-selling primer!
It magically minimizes the appearance of pores and my favorite,wait for it!......... fine lines!
Yes my darlings,you don't need to get BOTOX just yet.
Porefessional is here and has come to the rescue.:-)))
You can use this primer for smoother-than-smooth skin under your make-up.
I promise you, you'll see the difference immediately.
Apply this silky, lightweight balm alone or over or under make-up.
The translucent, oil-free formula complements all skin types,skin-tones and helps
make-up stay PUT!!!

Beauty tip

Apply the POREfessional from the

center of the face outward by

patting lightly with your

fingertips...pay particular

attention to the T-zone area.

Keep it in your bag for touch-ups

during the day.

..................................

Have some Lemon aid! :-)

Why I love it!
Our soft,lemon yellow cream helps hide redness & discoloration on your eyelids. In a snap, your eyes will look refreshed, wide awake and ready for those paparazzi shots!
And my all time reason for buying this product is b'cos your eyeshadow stays put all day!
Looooooove that!
The one shade blends 2 perfection on every complexion.

How to apply

Warm up lemon aid with your fingertips & lightly pat on your eyelids & blend with your fingers.

You can wear it alone, for a natural look or under-makep.

She laughs, can you see me in the mirror?
So my darlings if you really want your make-up to last all day and look great, start with these two simple products from Benefit.
The packaging is great too.
Very old Hollywood from the 1950's.

ISABEL MARANT 4 H&M :-))))))

Isabel Marant, French designer known for her playful mix of bohemian and rock ‘n’ roll aesthetics, is the next guest designer for retail powerhouse H&M. Due in November, the collaboration consists of womenswear, kidswear, and Marant’s first-ever menswear collection. Carrying her signature ethnic colors and prints with a touch of masculine tailoring, the collection is set to have must-have pieces for the effortlessly stylish. The Isabel Marant for H&M will be available online and in stores worldwide starting from November 14th, 2013.

I personally cannot wait to see/buy the collection, and at the same time, I'm a little nervous because with all the other H&M collaborations, I lived in Bergen/Oslo in Norway and the waiting lines outside the stores were nothing compared to anything in the USA or UK, where I happen to live now!

So we'll see and I'll keep u posted for sure!

Isable Marant SS 13.

Isabel, the GAME CHANGER!

THE SNEAKERS

As most of you will recall, Isablel gave a new meaning to sneakers when she stepped right out of the thinking box and put a heel in it!

Super fabulous,

Super comfortable,

And super high!

It was sold out everywhere and all the celebrities dashed out to get their pair, myself included.

Former Victoria secret model, Miranda Kerr,

Fashion blogger, the Blond Salad

& Super model Joan Smalls.

The cowgirl never looked so good!

When asked about her collaboration, Ms. Marant said:

“I am flattered… H&M works with the best designers, and this invitation is an exciting honor. I aim at creating something real – something women want to wear in their everyday lives – with a certain carefree style. I think this is very Parisian: You dress up, but don’t pay too much attention to it, and you still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be combined following one’s own instincts, and my take on fashion is all about personality.”

So with Isabel's track record, u can only imagine what goodies she has in store for us at H&M in November!
See you at the waiting lines darlings, and no Pushing or shoving, she laughs.
