Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Blog

Firstly, I would like to say a big fat welcome to the blogosphere to make-up artist, Charlotte Tilbury. Her make-up blog is a fantastic combination of beauty tips and make-up tutorials and I can't wait to see more from her!

Charlotte created Kate Moss' striking look for this month's French Vogue cover. I love the strong, accentuated red lip, doe eyes and contouring that she has created. If like me you would love to create this look yourself but can't get any further than applying M.A.C.'s Ruby Woo red lipstick then her easy-to-follow tutorial will act as a God-send. 

Chloé A/W 2012

I just love the Chloé A/W 2012 collection that beautifully combines the casual vibe of English sportswear with the sophisticated French silhouette. This is Claire Keller’s first A/W collection for Chloé and as her inspiration she looked to her own experience as a British girl in Paris which you can see in the mix of casual yet refined sensibilities. The oversized luxurious aesthetic combined with the contrasting textures works fantastically well and has me lusting over the entire collection, particularly the peach overcoat (below).

Earning Your Fashion Tiger Stripes

This season I shall mostly be matching my wardrobe to my phone case, all in the name of fashion dahling. I’d like to introduce you to my new tiger phone case from Grrrrrrrrriffin. *Mwah Mwah*

Young Fashionistas

Haven’t we all wondered if Anna Wintour had her trademark Ice Queen demeanor as a child, or if Karl Lagerfeld has always had a snow-white ponytail?

Now we can find out for ourselves thanks to The Coveteur who has filmed all of the fashion world’s biggest players from Grace Coddington to Bryan Boy, Leigh Lezark to Susie Bubble, as played by eight-year-olds. Ingenious.



The Coveteur celebrated a relaunch of their website by throwing a party for all their super fashionable eight-year-old friends. The film features all of the most sought-after accessories in fashion from Anna Dello Russo’s outlandish headpiece to Rachel Zoe’s oversized leopard print coat. However, my faouvrite special guest appearance has to go to Chaupette (Lagerfeld’s cat) who steals the show. Bravo.

Rituals, Perfection Volume Mascara

The one make-up product that I just can’t do without is mascara. Some days it’s all I wear and so it has become a bit of an obsession. I'm a beauty junkie; I love trialling new shades, products and looks. 

I have tried and tested many different mascaras over the years, of varying price points and brands, however have never been able to stray away from my trusty Maybelline Volum’ for long. That is until I experimented with Rituals.

I’ve recently been trialling the Rituals Perfection Volume Mascara after being impressed with their other products (FYI – the eye shadows have incredible pigment!). The mascara is perfect for building long, Penelope Cruz-esque lashes. The brush is a chunky affair that collects plenty of mascara to create both definition and thick, lush lashes.

Rituals Perfection Volume Mascara is also a great price point at only £13. Sorry Maybelline, after decade-long romance, I’ve moved on. 

MissesDressy

Tis the season to get dressed up! I call it the TOWIE and Made in Chelsea effect that we all feel underdressed without a floor length dress with split to the thigh with matching five-inch stilettos and red lipstick, á la Angelina. Gone are the days of wearing skinny jeans and Converse to our local pubs. 

One site to help all budding Lauren Pope and Millie Macintosh’s achieve the desired look is MissesDressy. The site launched in States in 2008 and offers a huge range of cocktail, evening, and prom dresses to make all of your friends’ well jel. They also offer a huge number of designers from Sherri Hill to Jovani.

The best thing about MissesDressy? The site offers free international shipping. YAR!
