Bright eyes

I’m not normally colour shy. I love bright pumps or bold statement jewelry or a vivid silk top as much as the next girl. But tinted mascaras always seemed a bit strange to me. Why would I want blue eyelashes? But thanks to a recent Almay beauty product launch event, I’m a convert! Find out what a makeup artist said to me to make me change my mind.

Reading Diary: Feeling exposed

While it might seem calculated, it’s not. On Thursday I thought I would post links to the interesting articles I read that day. And this morning I was trying to think of a post title, when I found that each of these stories – although each very, very different – are about exposing something. Not all are deep and reflective, but I was intrigued all the same.

What is the latest celebrity diet?
It was big news in January when Gwyneth Paltrow announced on her blog Goop that she wasn’t doing a New Year’s cleanse. I let out a sigh of relief. Without Gwynnie doing a detox, I suddenly felt less guilty about not doing one myself. Read more about how stars are now dieting.

Blue steel / #almaypretty #stolentwitpic with @emiliedingfeld

Tonight my Glow colleague and pal Emilie Dingfeld and I went to the Almay spring launch party. We were shown the new CC Cream, the new packaging for its makeup removers (one has hair nourishing ingredients for eyelashes), and new moisturizing lip glosses. There was lots of new! We were also treated to a makeover, where my lovely makeup artist used the Intense Eye Colour shadows for my blue peepers. She actually told me my skin was phenomenal. My life is complete. A tea party with makeup, makeovers and a photo booth. That's a good time!
