The new Kate Upton ads will appear in July. 

Kate was quoted as saying

"I am a huge product fan. I love trying new things. I get that from my mom and my sisters," she says. "We always share products. I've always used Bobbi Brown. That's the cool thing — I can do an interview and not have to lie."

New face for L'Oreal Paris

And L'Oreal Paris have just announced that Zoe Saldana will be their new international spokesmodel.

Zoe's going to be a busy girl. She's lined up to appear in a sequel to the movie "Avatar" and is due to play Rosemary in a new NBC adaptation of the classic horror film made so famous by Mia Farrow - Rosemary's Baby.


Zoe always looks stunning so we can't wait to see her L'Oreal Paris Ads!

Glossy Box Rocks!

We're probably a little late to this party but hey - better late than never, right?

We've just discovered the awesomeness that is Glossy Box. 

You can check out their January / February magazine here - loving the cover!

The totally awesome Glossy Box Magazine
But what's got us really excited is the Glossy Box concept of having a box of beauty goodies delivered to your door once a month.

For a mere $21 per month, the lovely people at GB will send you a box of five luxury beauty items.

And these are great items, worth having - so from a financial point of view it's a good deal.

We just love the thought of a mystery box every month! It's fun and it's a way of trying things that you might not normally go for...

So here's a quick peek at February's box...
Glossy Box Box of The Month - February
You can see examples of February's products - we love them all! Reviewers have been very pleased with what they got!

And the box itself is so pretty and can be used for other storage.

Great idea, great products, great price. Glossy Box - we think we love you!

Everyone's talking about Dallas Buyers Club!

And so we should! The transformations of Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were astonishing. We're going to remind you of how they looked before they lost a ton of weight for the movie, but before we do, take a look at this fabulous interview with makeup artist Robin Mathews - giving the full lowdown on how the Makeup was done...and on a total budget of $250. Yep, for the whole film. That's crazy. 

What's even more crazy is that Robin and Adruitha Lee won the Oscar for 
Best Makeup and Hairstyling. 


They've set the bar rather high for the rest of the industry now. If they can win an Oscar on a £250 budget, will this make life harder for future MUA's if their budgets are cut as a result? Time will tell. We feel like Dallas Buyers Club was a one-off...a collision of amazingly talented people who all worked toward the same end - a truly great, Oscar winning film.

Robin Mathews, Adruitha Lee, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto should all be very proud of what they achieved. As promised, here are before and after pics of both of them...

Remember Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike? (If you missed it,
you have some very fun Googling to do!)



...and forty pounds lighter for Dallas Buyers Club. Wow. 


And now the beautiful Jared Leto...how can one human have so many great genes? 
*Focus* Sorry, got sidetracked there...
Here is Jared as Rayon in DBC. This picture is amazing. He manages to make her look so fragile, vulnerable and beautiful all at the same time. Truly an Oscar winning performance.


And here is Jared with his Oscar. Congratulations !!!!!
