Make Up to Make Out

Bi-monthly update with Fashion Week, Toni & Guy and Valentine’s Day!

Lina — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 21:43:17 +0000

Well, obviously the most prominent thing about the last two weeks was Fashion Week. This took up a large chunk of my time and I loved every minute of it. I went backstage for some amazing shows and even got a lovely trim at the pop-up Toni & Guy Blow Out Bar! Spent lots of time [...]

Exfoliating Glycolic Peel at SK:N

Lina — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 15:43:00 +0000

As promised, here is my post on my chemical peel! But as you’ve probably guessed from the title, it’s not a real burn-all-your-face-off peel, more a gentle treatment that exfoliates and renews. A Glycolic Peel is allegedly a more practical option than getting a harsher chemical peel as you can have a course of mild [...]

How to fix my sensitive skin..

Lina — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:23:17 +0000

I thought I’d give you a bit of break from all the Fashion Week posts with a nice traditional skin care one. Knowing how quite obsessed and fussy I am about my skin, Olay thoughtfully sent me off to fancy Harley Street dermatologist who is completely independent to them to analyse and diagnose my skin. Having suffered from sensitive skin [...]

London Fashion Week AW12 – Backstage at Jean-Pierre Braganza!

Lina — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:54:12 +0000

Inspiration for hair was taken from Patsy of Absolutely Fabulous – you heard it here! GHD hair stylists backcombed and twisted hair up in french-rolls adding jaggedly cut clip-on fringes, AOFM make-up artists kept skin fresh but flawless and lips deep and red, whilst Jessica manicurists painted nails nude..To create the lips a combination of [...]

Flatform shoes and the blues..

Lina — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:43:12 +0000

I’m a bit down today because the limited availability in my shoe size is really getting to me. I bought two pairs in time for Fashion Week (which the mere mutter of the term right now is making me shudder from all the stress it’s given me) in the smallest sizes available, and, well, basically, [...]

Liv Tyler music video and more Liv stalkyness

Lina — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:20:38 +0000

I am a little bit lesbehonest for Liv Tyler, it all started after watching her in the Aerosmith videos back in the nineties and hasn’t really stopped since. I kinda want to BE her, in the least crazy stalker way possible.. So whilst checking out her new ad campaign with Givenchy where she pretty much [...]

Fashion Week Prep..

Lina — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:53:50 +0000

As tempting as it is to bring absolutely everything I could possibly need with me to London Fashion Week (I’ll be mostly reporting from backstage so expect lots of tweets, vids and pics of the behind-the-scenes action!!), I am only a small girl and need to remember that I will be lugging this all around [...]

REDISCOVERED: Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara

Lina — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:27:41 +0000

I’m not sure whether I’ve blogged about this Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara (I probably have) but I’ve definitely used it in the past and remember liking it. However it was sent to me again at the weekend so I thought I’d wear it today.. Well, either the formulation has changed since I’ve last [...]

Bi-monthly catch up featuring REN, Aveda, Estee Lauder, MUA, Rockalily Lipsticks and.. Ukuleles!

Lina — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:05:50 +0000

Whilst I’m nursing a bit of sore head after an impromptu drinking session with some fellow blogger lovelies, here is a run down of my last two weeks (this is a new thing I’m going to be doing now!).. Before all the aforementioned drinking happened, I visited Estee Lauder for the launch of their new [...]
