Long braid

Photo shoot
"A cool beauty shot"
I have a photo shoot with Erik by Erik today (who takes all of my promotion pictures), and Vanessa my make-up artist is going to be there. My manager is going to have the film camera set so you guys will get to see how it works.
Lucious lips
New lipstick, it's a mineral one. Lovely "primrose" colour. 199 SEK from Glominerals. Huge recommendation.
Getting ready for bed
Going to take a shower, put on some body lotion, do my nails and then it's time to do my hair for tomorrow's party. Going to take pictures of what I bought today but I won't put it up yet, I have to much to do around the apartment this evening. Ending today with Desperate Housewifes Season 5, I've only got 5 episodes left. Nighty night..
To change a hair colour
I'm kind of getting sick of having black hair, I stopped coloring my hair 2006, that's almost 4 years now. Before that I changed it every 3 months, either cutting new hair styles or dying it a different colour. I've had blonde, orange, blue, red, mahogny, brown hair - you name it. Since '06 I haven't touched my hair, besides cutting bangs every once in a while, the new colour I'm considering:

Classic beauty.
Someone with very fair skin. She looks very fresh and natural. Strikt and undenying beauty.
I guess in general what it means to be a classic beauty is that the person who is being called a classic beauty would be considered beautiful no matter what time period they lived in.... the 50's, the 20's, the 80's, or now.
It's kind of a big compliment to be called that. It means that you are beyond what is being considered pretty right now. You are pretty regardless of what is currently hot.
So I lift my hat off and salute the beauitful women of our History.
Lipstick is not a sin
DSquared's fall collaboration with MAC makeup includes lipstick shades in Nude Rose, left, and Blood Red. Put that lipstick on, every day of the week. On lazy Sundays - that's all you need to wear.
New Makeup from Christian Dior Parfums
The label collaborates with Swarovski to create another showstopping lip gloss.In 1955, at Christian Dior’s request, Manfred Swarovski created the radiant Aurore Boréale crystal—a rainbow-hued stone inspired by the effect of sunlight in Versailles’ Galerie des Glaces.
Now, Christian Dior Parfums and Swarovski have created yet another showstopper: the Cristal Boréal Gloss Pendant, an oval locket embellished with Aurore Boréale crystals and containing iridescent lip gloss. For a special effect that will light up any night, pair the gloss with the collection’s Style Liner in Sparkling Purple—a silvery, eye-bedazzling plum.

And while they are remaining tight-lipped about any other details at the moment, so far we're guessing they could be tapping an international make-up artist to work with on the project.
The make-up range will now secure Topshop's status as the one-stop shop on the high street for the latest trends in both fashion and beauty.

Stella McCartney wins Nude battle and launches her latest perfume this weekend
This weekend STELLANUDE, Stella McCartney's latest fragrance will launch after the rock royalty designer won the latest stage of the legal battle with Bono's wife's beauty company, Nude Brands Limited. The legal struggle started after the wife of the U2 front man, Ali Hewson, filed a emergency injunction against Stella McCartney's company who had named their latest fragrance STELLANUDE, to prevent Stella releasing the perfume. Ali felt the name was too similar to her high-end range of organic beauty products and hoped to launch a trademark infringement case. In the battle of the eco loving rock royalty designers, (Ali also runs eco brand Edun, while Stella uses only vegan leather and designs an organic range as part of her label) Stella won as the judge felt that with £4.1 million worth of fragrance already manufactured and ready to be distributed, Stella and fragrance licensee YSL Beaute Limited, would lose far more from the disruption of not being able to launch the fragrance than NBL would lose from not gaining the injunction. A full trial action could still take place, if the companies fail to come to an agreement in the meantime.
It was revealed that part of the reason for the emergency injunction was that Ali intended to launch a perfume as part of her Nude range and had, back in 2008, refused Stella McCartney the right to use the title Nude for a perfume. Both women are proponents of organic, natural living, so let's hope they can settle the debacle in the spirit of all that is eco.

Essie creates the perfect new shade - for charity Future Dreams
Essie is the industry's nail polish brand of choice. They are launching a new shade, Furture Dreams, to raise money for the breast cancer charity of the same nam. This September we suspect this new peony pink shade will make an appearance. All profits from the £9.95 shade will go to the charity set up by mother and daughter breast cancer sufferers Sylvie Henry and Danielle Leslie. Since starting the charity the duo have raised £300,000 but sadly this year Sylvie lost her fight with the disease. Danielle will now carry on with the charity while she continues to have treatment. ~ELLE
Future Dreams is on sale online now and will be available exclusively on the high-street in Reiss stores later this month. This is something I'm totally going to wear, I love this colour plus it's for a good cause!
Getting ready for Collage
Drinking some energy drink while fixing my hair, getting ready for Collage tonight.
I polish my nails with purple this evening, use face cream for my face and a silk glow body cream for the rest of my skin. Spray my hair with curl spray and then the rolls go in! Finish up with freshening up my eyebrows, you can buy a tweezer in your fave colour or a colour you like, I got a pink one!
