Solstice V Phenomena

Friday, September 25, 2009
This September in London has been really strange - I think we have had better weather over the past fortnight than any in July or August, overall! It's been sunny and warm and yet there is still that lingering sense of Summer and anticipation of Autumn.

That's all well and good, but where does it leave you when it comes to choosing your make-up for the day?! Confused, that's where. Normally, I am cracking open the burgundies and the smoky chocolate eye shadows, the red lipstick [my staple for September as it's my birthday month and red lippy always makes me feel sophisticated and grown-up!] and the darker-than-summer Eye Brow Cake at this time of the year; but I have been completely thrown. I'm still wearing my Bronzing Duo and Outcast/ Predator combo for a Summer look.


And of course, I am still piling on the Liquid Metal in 'Solstice', even though the latest Liquid Metal in 'Phenomena' is the latest beauty editor crush. Below is without flash and below that is with flash, swatched on my very dry [ah, so winter IS coming then...!] hand...




I have been experimenting with looks using this product, but it just doesn't seem the time to move in to silver territory just yet. That said, I swatch and I love!

As it's Friday, I'm doing my usual fashion refresh courtesy of the fabulous net-a-porter.com and have discovered this gorgeous Proenza Schouler jacquard cap-sleeved dress. The stunning rose-gold detail would be perfectly complimented by a slick of 'Solstice' across the lids and with a nude lip [perhaps Intense Lipgloss in 'Absorb'?].

On the other hand, there is this mesmerising Alexander Wang [who can do no wrong, in my opinion!] LBD number that would look so rock'n'roll with a smudge of Liquid Metal in 'Phenomena'....


Alexander Wang spider lace dress £720
Proenza Schouler jacquard cap-sleeved dress £1,510

Illamasqua Loves... Nights Out!

The perfect Saturday Night outfit [or Thursday, or Friday...] is something that we are all eternally looking for, right? Well, I think I may have found mine. Alexander Wang, not only do you have a great name, but you are a genius with material.

This gorgeous grape dress will perfectly compliment all my new Dystopia products and give it a real 80s twist.

I am adoring this little number. Pair with Lanvins gorgeous black shoeboots and add a gorgeous cuff [loving this Anita Ko diamond encrusted piece].

Then all you need is False Eye Lashes in 13 for fluttering lashes and a slick of Intense Lipgloss in 'Petulant' mixed with Intense Lipgloss in 'Galactic' and your good to go! See you on Monday!
