SUMMER LOVIN' -FRUITS SAFARI
I am so in love with everything from this ebay store. Love the bright colours for summer, usually it's not my thing but these quirky vintage prints are so special, you'll never find them in Zara. Really like that they are flowery & bright & full of quirky designs like fruits, safari prints, etc. So different from the somewhat hideous color blocking trend I've seen everywhere right now ( i don't know why these have turned out so fugly? maybe they overdid the prada copies!!), but still so on point in terms of colors (love the rose coral & teal!, mixed with mauve, dusty pinks & faded blues) & just something so fun & pretty to wear for summer!
MILIN
Don't know about you but I'm really digging these cool watercolour prints, cutouts , pleating, halter silhouettes from Milin, a Thai-based contemporary fashion label. Looks awesome! Seems like they sell them here in Singapore too, at this shop Lula Rock at Pacific Plaza... must go check out!

Clinique Chubby Stick - over before it began...
I read about the Chubby Stick about 2 months ago in a review on a blog. "It must be mine!" I declared.
And, as of last Sunday, it was mine. Woppin' Watermelon was my colour of choice. A beautiful girly, rose pink.
I'd heard enough about it to know that it was moisturising and infused with mango and shea butter - my favourites of all the butters. I also knew that the colour was just a hint and the helpful Clinique girl behind the counter in Brown Thomas also told me that the colours were buildable, "handy" I thought.
The above details were correct. It is lusciously moisturising without being sticky or slippy, you know the ones I mean. I found myself topping up every few minutes, not because my lips were drying out, but because I wanted to just keep lashing it on because it felt so gooood.
But, as with most things in life (ooh, woe is me!), with every good, there's usually a bad. And the bad, or letdown, was that there was no smell. The smell is obviously not the most important part of a lipbalm, but it helps. I tend to do a thing where I scrunch my top lip up under my nose to get a whiff of the good stuff when i'm wearing nicely scented lipbalm.
Here, I'll demonstrate!

Ahem.
Unfortunately the smell, or lack thereof, wasn't the only thing to disappoint. Not even 24hrs after purchase, and bare in mind I was asleep for 7(ish) of them, the balm broke.
The stick features a twist-cap, so it is handy that you don't have to sharpen it like a normal pencil, however I didn't even get around to twisting it once before the balm broke right off, as soft as butter. That'd be the shay then!
I have since tried my best to warm it and make it stick back on, which it has...to an extent, but it's just not as easy to apply and i'm worried about breaking it further. At €19 a pop, that's just not really good enough, is it?
So, whilst the pro's are pretty good pro's - the colour is lovely and sheen, like a not-too-glossy gloss, it's not too sticky, perfectly moisturising and makes your lips look and feel great.
I do like the packaging, the idea of a Chubby Stick...whatever that may be, minds out of the gutters now! It's fun and looks like a giant crayon FOR YOUR FACE. The twisty-cap is useful, however if it contributes to the product breaking then perhaps it's time to rethink that a little bit. It's the perfect design to throw into your handbag ready to use, in which case it shouldn't really be so delicate.
Has anyone else tried it? Verdicts?

Untouched
Tira-se a maquilhagem, cabeleireiro e mesmo styling, e o resultado é o que se pode ver nesta série de fotografias de Scott Trindle, onde modelos como Natalia Vodianova, Raquel Zimmermann e Maryna Linchuk, entre outras, se despem de artifícios e expõem-se para a câmara da forma mais natural.
Sem horas de maquilhagem e styling que as podem tornar noutras pessoas, as que vemos nas revistas em editoriais fantásticos e super produzidos, sem retoques de photoshop, nestas fotografias podemos ver a sua verdadeira beleza e identidade.
Untouched é uma exposição refrescante que celebra o lançamento da Viva Model Management em Londres e que ainda vai dar muito que falar, são imagens que chamam a atenção pela carácter intimo e pela força que têm.
