I don’t know about you, but I’ve had one crazy busy year. I started at PRIMPED in February, had my second baby soon after, took two months’ maternity leave, and have felt like I’ve been running a marathon – while juggling lots of very large slippery balls – ever since. But – if I do say… more

Tue, 3 July 2012 4:56PM
While Versace kicked off the current haute couture collections by opting for sexy, signature smoky eyes, Dior took a big technicolour risk with its makeup.
