Beetle got hotter!

Following the huge success of their duo chrome beetle juice collection, Models Own will be releasing on 19 March, 3 new shades of duo chrome polishes. Inspiration is the 'colours of a hot summer haze, mimicking a mirage of complex colour-shifting shades'. As their November sisters, the polishes will be retailed at £5 each.




Have you got any favourites?
Indian Ocean is the first one which caught my eye and it will take incredible amount of willpower to resist it.

O to the M to the Gee

So what did you do today?
Me? Not much, went to work, filled up my bottle of water on arrival, my colleague had her morning poo at 10.30am, went to get the post, I won the YouTube sharksbiteoflife ocean makeup contest… not much really.
The brief was to create a makeup look based of a creature from the ocean, and I chose this little fish for the inspiration of my ‘wearable category' entry (the 2 others categories were mythical and creative).

Like things could not get any better, I had the honour to share the winning podium with my best friend joannadelilah for the creative category. I watched the tutorial on she created her look, but I have not gone over it how wicked it is. If you like her video, just double click on the video embedded here, it will lead you directly on the youtube page where the original video is located and you can leave her a message there if you wish.



Jo: I know you’re not into blogs and stuff, but if you are reading this by any chance, I am shaking my encouragement giant  foamy thumb like I’ve never done before and still wearing your t-shirt. You are the best and I love you and that is all ^_^



Thank you so much sharksbiteoflife for the contest. Absolutely thrilled is an understatement about how happy I am. Finally, for the lulz I’d like to thank flickr for its resources of fishy pictures, baptiste shampoo, and my good old camera samsung which does a bloody good job at making me look decent.
