The royal fascinators!

I believe that there's not a single person in this planet who hasn't seen or read about the royal wedding. Girls all over the world have seen it, talked about it, envied Kate Middleton and what's there not to envy. But I don't wanna bother you with details since you all had the opportunity to hear them on the news or in any magazines and even on the Internet, what I really want to talk about are the FASCINATORS. A fascinator it's a formal headpiece, worn instead of a hat to occasions where hats are traditionally worn, such as weddings or other events. Kate is already getting credit for bringing in style the fascinators since she very often fancies them with her elegant outfits.

Everything you always wanted to know about make up brushes (but were afraid to ask)!

I don't usually experiment with my make up. I have the perfect daily and nightly look that I always wear, so I've never felt the need to learn more than the essentials.
After discovering a new cool website Fraulein38 and all the great deal of offers on palettes and brushes that are more than enough to make you wanna try having fun, I've decided to learn all I need to know about brushes. As every girl knows achieving some crazy beautiful effects on your eyes calls for really good brushes. And as every girl knows it's always nice to try new looks and colours, especially when you live in a fashion-forward society:)
