THAT Tom Ford Lipstick...

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate just how gorgeous this Tom Ford Lipstick is *sigh!

 

I purchased this thing of beauty when I was in London a few weeks ago for my birthday… I also picked up something else pretty special, but I will save that for another post coming soon! *insert a massive grin from me!

 

I knew I wanted a Tom Ford lipstick and had heard rave reviews from Vivianna Does Makeup about the shade “Wild Ginger” so surprise surprise, Wild Ginger is the one I decided to go for! I’m usually a red or a deep red kinda girl, this is my first coral purchase and it’s certainly a goodie I’d say!

 

This is my first dive in to the world of Tom Ford makeup and I have to say, I’m hugely impressed.  I just love the smell of this lipstick, its sweet but not the sweet smell that drugstore lipsticks have (you know what I mean, like the Rimmel lipstick smell), this is more of an “expensive” smelling sweetness (if that even makes sense lol). It’s gorgeous! It glides on with no tugging of the lips and is super pigmented.  You can gently dab this on your lips and pat it in to give a light wash of colour or you can go all out and just layer it on for the full effect! And can we just touch on the packaging for a moment?! How chic! I just love the black and gold, and that click when you put the lid on, ahh so satisfying! I feel like a richer version of me when pulling this out of my makeup stash and applying it!

 

I’d definitely recommend adding one of these lipsticks to your collection! Even if you never use it, it’ll look gorgeous in your Muji storage draws! ;)

I first saw these on the makeup and skincare heaven blog that is ViviannaDoesMakeup and instantly wanted to get my hands on one! Of course, when I went on an Internet hunt for the shade I wanted (Cruella) it was sold out everywhere! Which only made me want it that much more!!

Megan Fox: Beauty Secrets...

I was browsing the Marie Claire website and stumbled accross an interview with Megan Fox spilling her beauty secrets & just had to share! Megan Fox is an all round babe, who wouldnt want to know the secret to that flawless looking skin and those amazing tousled locks right?!

“1. My beauty philosophy is ‘less is more’, so my daily routine consists of washing my face thoroughly and moisturising with La Roche-Posay sunscreen. I drink lots of water and think it’s important to get lots of sleep.

2. I always wanted to be blonde when I was little, like Barbie and Pamela Anderson, but it would really damage my hair. It was exotic to me, as my entire family has dark hair. If I did it, I would go white- blonde- really platinum.

3. I always carry Armani Code fragrance as it reminds me of growing up in Florida, as well as Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers and a hand sanitiser. I also keep a lot of moisturisers with me when I travel as the climate changes can dry out my skin.

4. My definition of beauty is simplicity, elegance and sensuality. Ava Gardner is my beauty icon. I think that when a woman is in harmony with herself and remains true to her values, she will glow naturally. Fememininity doesn’t depend on what you wear or how you look. It’s an attitude.

5. Sport gives me positive energy so I exercise everyday with my trainer, Harley Pasternak. Each circuit is 45 minutes long and I lift weights but never do cardio.

6. I eat five times a day and don’t diet, but I do eat healthily- mostly raw and vegan food, with no dairy. It’s not always possible with travel and filming, but I try. I also take supplements like silica and fish oil religiously.

7. I try to keep my make-up fresh, clean and pretty on the red carpet. My signature look is red lipstick worn with plain eyes, so I apply a light foundation, then on my cheeks I use blush or sometimes the same lipstick that I’m wearing. Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani Lipstick in 400 contrasts well with my pale complexion and dark hair.

8. Even when I’m working I don’t like wearing too much make-up, but when I’m on my own I go bare-faced as I like to give my skin a rest.

9. For a date night I go for beachy, natural bed hair. Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray gives my hair that wavy, thick texture.

10. I have to wash my face every 12 hours and then moisturise. I only take showers as I don’t like sitting in bath water. After my shower I moisturise with Grapeseed Oil from Whole foods. It’s a great moisturiser and lighter than olive oil.

If thats how Megan Fox gets those gorge locks, then the Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray is next on my hit list!! lol
