As my maternity leave was coming to a close, a very clever, super-successful girlfriend of mine gave me tips on how to manage the upcoming juggle of life. “Plan as much of your next day as possible the night before,” she said (along with something about an evening glass of sauvignon blanc keeping you sane)…. more

Let’s just feast our eyes on this photo for a moment … Image: Pantene Now if this is not the definition of smoking-hot, I don’t know what is.

Regular dilemmas include ‘Which eyeliner – cake or pencil?’ and ‘Which lipstick colour and texture am I feeling?’ (I usually end up packing five… more

Two New Eye Makeup Looks to Try

Flashback to May last year, backstage at the Nina Ricci show.

Couture A/W ’12: How to Wear Crazy Colours

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.
