Baby Doll Sucker Punch FOTD & Tutorial

I got a request on Twitter to do a 'Baby doll' tutorial from Sucker Punch.

Agreed that the graphics, styling & makeup are straight out of a teenage boy's imagination, Babydoll is pretty cute & I liked the idea of trying to recreate something a bit different, especially with it being so graphic and not very 'life like'.

So here it is! Video at the bottom...

Poser!

Aldi's 'Lacura Wrinkle Stop'

After reading Stina's post on Lacura wrinkle cream, I had to give the 'Age Me' technology a go!

So this is me, fresh faced at 29...

And this is what I'll look like at 59 apparently!! (If I don't use Lacura, of course!)

You can read the blurb on the miracle cream here and you can give yourself an age-over here.

Right, so I'm off to Aldi! It retails at £5.99 and if I can get hold of some, I promise to do a proper review!

Ke$ha 'Blow' Music Video Inspired Makeup

I had blogged ages ago about how my style icon was (unwittingly!) Ke$sha... now her video for 'Blow' has inspired a full on tutorial. I think I'm going to have to admit that I kinda like her...

MOR; Black Cherry & Cassis Noir Heaven!

If, just for once, I could describe a scent so well you could actually smell it, it would be for this product; MOR Cassis Noir Body Butter.

The scent is described as "sparkling cinammon leaf, bulgaria rose and blackcurrant flirts with star jasmine in a warm seductive dance"... Does that help? I bet you still can't quite taste how absolutely delicious, sophisticated & downright sexy this is!

The scent is slightly, ever so slightly, masculine in that it isn't floral. It is fresh, heady and so moreish. The texture is super thick & creamy, blends into the skin like a dream, leaving a soft comfortable silky feeling, without being sticky. At around £22 for 50g, this is one that should sit atop your dressing table, being saved for special occasions. The scent demands a partnership with freshly showered skin, an LBD and sky scraper stilettos and who are we to argue?

If you are choosing to extend the seductive scents into the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen (stairs...) then one of the MOR Black Cherry Candles would be a pretty good place to start.

Let's begin with the obvious; who could resist the jet black candle & gold leaf decoration on the packaging? Absolutely divine. Move onto the wafts of heaven once alight; "Cherries, plum red currant & tangerine zest blend with the musky aroma of Blonde Woods to finish in a sweet fruity scent".

So far, my candle has been my choice for that bathtime when I want to feel like the girl in the flake advert. A moment of peace, calm and luxury.

The MOR range is available from the House of Fraser Apothecary, both online & instore.
