Nylon Blogs - Best Dressed….Madonna?
I was skeptical as hell when I read this headline - Madonna is, well, sort of scary looking these days. But I have faith in Nylon and rightfully so! She looks pretty damn good actually. I’m going to pretend this is Drew Barrymore instead though, this outfit is much more Drew don’t you think?
Kevin Murphy - ombre hair using eyeshadow
Anyone that’s seen me knows I love my hair matte and textured! I have my hair ombre-ed from a mid-brown to peroxide at the moment which is a fantastic base look but I’ve been bleating about wanting pink tips for ages. Thing is, I hate washing out Manic Panic or Directions semi permanents - they’re never quite as semi as you think they’re going to be are they? so when I saw Kevin Murphy’s Colour Bugs in British Vogue recently I knew I had to have them!
Having said that, are they out yet? NO! I have to wait until December for the Colour Bugs themselves, but in the meantime I am ALL OVER this DIY option from Kevin’s podcast of using loose eye shadow to get the same effect.
Do any of you want to try this out? send me photos if you do!
I *love* a good nose through people’s beauty products, especially when it’s not your standard model/actress but someone like Ke$ha who looks like she alternates between sleeping in a tour bus and a bin. Sorry Ke$ha, I love you really. I’m amazed that Ke$ha uses MorrocanOil on her hair and still keeps it that textured and if you scroll back through that slideshow you can find out which exact shade of orange eye pencil Hayley Williams uses. yay!
Holiday reading…
August is fuelled by black coffee, nectarines and almonds.
Managed to slice my hand open yesterday so the quality of my workmanship isn’t stellar, but I love this lavender/marigold Frenchish manicure.
This week I’ve mostly been channeling Patti Smith- blown out, second day hair, a nude lip and a smokey eye with a stripped down, tailored rock-chic look.
I am in NO way emotionally ready for this. I know it’s not the absolute end of series because I have still not been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and there will doubtless be other publications (*cough* I would LOVE a prequel *cough*), but it’s a huge milestone and we do have to say goodbye to the actors. I keep crying every time I even think about it so god only knows what’s going to happen when I actually have to watch my favourite characters die.
In short, I will be an emotional wreck for the rest of the week. My apologies.
