Heels? Those aren't heels!

No heels wedge!

These are amazing. No not amazing, just awesome. Whoever thought of making heels without a heel is a GENIUS! Will definitely be buying these.

Ooh Shiny

Isn't this brilliant? I love it, it's gorgeous, they were going for the wet look but it looks more like she has been covered in cling film!

Don't make me blush!

Stila Convertible color blush in Peony.

This is a product I will always make sure I have in my kit. I applied it today for the first time in a few weeks and it again surprised me how natural it looks. 

It's that PERFECT shade if you don't want a 'I'm wearing a blusher' look. And also if you are wearing strong eyes and lips, you can still afford to pop this on the apples of your cheeks. 

It's nor too pink, too brown or peachy, it really is the best shade for a period film/drama, or even to pop under your favourite similar shade of powder blush to lock in and keep the colour lasting all day.

Apply this over foundation or a tinted moisturiser and blend with a foundation brush or your finger tips. I like to take a small amount and build it up in a swirling motion.

Tattoo Pen Review!

Review: 0/5 Tattoo Pen (Available at Screenface and Charles Fox)

This in theory is a great idea. A pen that you can draw out your own design of a tattoo onto the skin in which ever shade you wish. 

Although if you do not try before you buy, you will be greatly disappointed. You may as well buy a regular pen from W H Smith and apply that on the skin.

When you start to draw on the skin, the ink frays, looking like you have just drawn it on yourself earlier that day. Which is the worst look ever!! It simply does not look anything like a tattoo which has clear straight lines.. Don't waste a penny on this product. Especially not £14.90.

The Olympics Closing Ceremony

Spice Girls at the closing ceremony

Amazing! The Spice Girls came back (again) to perform to the world for the last time. 

Don't they look stunning?! Yes they can't sing any more (neither could Russell Brand but who cares?) 

I was eager to see Geri wearing her staple Britannia dress with her thong showing! I was singing along and dancing in the bar although nobody else was.

Scary definitely gets my vote for being the 'best dressed'.

The models

Wow! Never saw this one coming. Giant rectangular posters of the most famous British models were wheeled in and around the stadium. 

Then the posters dropped and revealed the most iconic models in the fashion industry! 

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Lily Cole (the few I know!) and also Lily Donaldson, Karen Elson, Jourdan Dunn, Stella Tennant, David Gandy and of course Georgia May Jagger! Mick Jagger has one of the weirdest faces I've ever seen and yet his daughter is a stunning supermodel! How that happened I'll never know.

Kate and Naomi wore the late Alexander McQueen dresses

,and the others wore Victoria Beckham ( was she wearing herself I wonder?!), Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood's Gold Label (of course!) Erdem, Jonathan Saunders, Burberry and Christopher Kane.

They modelled their wee size 4 asses off and walked the biggest runway of their life! Kudos!
