ORLY very recently launched a limited edition collection for autumn, called Cool Romance. It features a muted palette of cool metallics and pastel colours which are just right for the season.
L-R: You’re Blushing, Prelude to a Kiss, Jealous Much?, Faint of Heart, Steel your Heart, Artificial Sweetener
I had the opportunity of trying out the one in Jealous Much?, and let me just say, it’s one of the prettiest pastels I’ve seen.
Happy hump day, folks! Two more days to go before the long Easter weekend. I can’t wait! 😀
Today, I thought I’d showcase some more bloggers who inspire me with their work. Do check them out, and I hope they inspire you too.
Blogger: Christina
What it’s about: It’s all about your hair.
What I like about it: I’m not usually a fan of hair blogs, mostly because 1) there isn’t many out there, and 2) the ones I’ve seen mostly only do product reviews on hair products and latest trends, which, to be honest, aren’t really my cup of tea. Christina, however, makes it fun. She does things to hair that not only gorgeous but highly achievable by hair n00bs like me. Check out her tutorials, or better yet, get her ebook. I did, and I had such fun replicating the hairstyles from her tutorials in the ebook.
A favourite post of mine: Behind The Scenes at Hair Romance. An interesting look into how she snaps the photographs used on her blog.
Blogger: Celina Lee
What it’s about: Makeup reviews, cosplay ideas and very interesting makeup tutorial videos.
What I like about it: I have the pleasure of meeting Celina at the first Melbourne Beauty Blogger Event in 2010. She’s such a sweet lady, is incredibly talented at makeup, creating costumes AND she’s a cool IT geek. Every video of hers on the Book of Fables blows me away. Her creativity and talent are simply amazing.
A favourite post of mine: All of her Book of Fables videos, but I particularly enjoy Doppelgänger Wars.
If you asked me what the most luxurious makeup I’ve used a year ago, I would enthusiastically tell you, it’s Chanel and Dior. But ever since Tom Ford cosmetics came into the market, it has knocked Chanel and Dior off their woolly socks in terms of high-end, luxe-to-the-max makeup.
When I first received a Tom Ford eyeshadow quad palette in the mail, I literally gasped when I took it out of the box. And I stroked it like it was something precious (it was). If you know me well, you will know that it’s very difficult for me to break into makeup so pretty. I mean, just look at the makeup I have still yet to touch! 😛
Proof that I have finally used this
Still, this palette beckons me to use it. And I finally did. When my fingers and brushes finally broke the still, even powders, I was in love.
One of my favourite Aussie brands, Bloom Cosmetics, recently had some good news. RMIT University has named savvy businesswoman, Natalie Bloom, who is the founder of Bloom, its Alumnus of the Year for 2012 in recognition of her achievements in business and the community. She received the award, which honours one outstanding graduate from RMIT each year, at an award ceremony at RMIT’s Storey Hall on 21 March.
Natalie started the business in her parents’ Melbourne home that has grown into a global cosmetics company, Bloom Pty Ltd, which has a focus on natural ingredients and a strong design sensibility.
With this good news, I had the pleasure of conducting an email interview with Natalie. I was bursting with questions to ask her, but I thought I’d keep it short and sweet. Well, for now, that is 😛
