Tom Ford 'Crimson Noir' Lipstick Review & Demo.

I have heard many many great things about Mr. Tom Ford & his luxury lipsticks over the past year or so in particular and decided to splurge on one of his 18 lipstick offerings, 'Crimson Noir'. At €46.00 here in Ireland this would be a step again above other high-end lipsticks from the likes of Chanel and Dior, an uber high-end lippy if you will......

The Hunger Games 'Catching Fire' Inspired Makeup & Outfit;

I finally got around to seeing the new Hunger Games movie 'Catching Fire' and as predicted, I loved it! I loved the videography, the over all aesthetic, the Capitol Couture fashion and of course the makeup. Oh yeah, and the actual story line didn't completely suck either :P

My favourite makeup look for the film was the one Katniss wore at the dance in the Capitol where she has striking red eyeshadow with glitter over an interesting double-lined wing eyeliner design. The rest of the makeup was kept fresh and delicate, really allowing for the eyes to stand out!
