LOVE

Before I start, I just want to say thank you to everyone who left a comment on my recent Ombre hair post. I can't tell you how lovely it was to return from my weekend away to see such positive comments so thank you all! :)

Following on from the ombre hair post then, I have already started thinking about another change for my hair. I quite like the lighter ends and wonder whether I could go so light all over, strawberry blonde if you will.

Then to add fuel to the fire I had a look at the recent cover shots for LOVE magazines September issue and noticed this gorgeous image of Rosie Huntington Whiteley.

There are 2 things I love about Rosie - her boyfriend Jason Statham, and the underwear she models for Victoria's Secret. I had never given her much noticed other than that until this picture.

Rose looks like the ultimate Hollywood Siren in this photo. Her hair is the exact shade I had imagined I would like mine so now I am picturing myself in winged liner, beaute masochist on the lips, leopard print and hollywood strawberry blonde waves. Do I dare?

I think I will have to ponder on this one a bit longer.

My hair debate aside, LOVE magazine have issued 8 different covers photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for their September issue to promote beauty diversity. From pin up to rebel, bombshell to sweetheart, it's a taste of the many different faces, age, moods and perception behind the beauty.

Other covergirls featured on the September issue are Kelly Brook, Gisele Bundchen, Agyness Deyn, Lauren Hutton and Sienna Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio. Sienna's is a must see, you won't believe it is her at first!

So what do you think about my possible transition from ombre to strawberry blonde?

And, who is your favourite LOVE cover girl?

Beaute Masochist

Someone left a comment on my previous post asking me to recommend a dark red lippie. It couldn't have come at a better time as I have been planning on posting about this product for ages so without further ado ...

A few months ago I purchased Beaute weightless lip creme in Masochist from Coco Beau website. I had seen this product on a couple of blogs and I fell completely in love with the colour.

Red lips can be hard to wear and is often difficult finding a shade that suits and isn't too bright. Bright lips also often means heavy lips, you can literally feel the product lying there.

Masochist is a beautiful deep blood red that is described as a Helmut Newton red. It virtually does feel weightless on the lips. I am tempted to say it is a one shade suits all kind of colour as this looks equally lovely whether I embrace the pale or fake tan. With regards longevity, what red lipstick doesn't need a mid-day touch up? Well, this is no different although I can drink and eat comfortably before I have to re-do.
It applies like a lipgloss, so it comes in a tube with a little sponge bud applicator. This is actually very nice for smoothing over the lips and gives a much more moisturising finish.
If you need further convincing of how gorgeous this colour is - check it out on Gossip Girls, Leighton Meester. She looks stunning. The contrast of the lips against the dress is so striking.
One downside of this product is the price. £22 for 3g so it is a fairly small tube although I guess it is the equivalent of a full lipstick. Still, it is a fairly new brand so it is a steep asking price. However, in saying that I will re-purchase this - quality, colour and the sheer beauty of this product will win over price everytime.

What are your recommendations for a dark red lippie?

Does anyone else love Masochist?
