MEME: Just to pass some time...have some killer jet-lag

What’s the worst beauty mistake you’ve made? Plastic blue hair – though entertaining - wasn’t my best look. I’ve got so many to pick from its criminal.
What’s your daily skincare regime consist of? Morning: Shiseido foaming wash followed by Crème de La Mer moisturizer and lip balm. I need to add a serum in there but trying to find one with a decent spf. Kose do a nice one if you’re in Japan anytime soon.
Night: Wash again with Shiseido, then on alternate nights apply Lancome Absolue Nuit cream, eye cream and lip contour cream. Plus ByTerry Baum de rose balm on my lips. I go night cream free every other day to let it breathe (that’s such a wanky beauty term.)

What does your daily cosmetics regime consist of?
It totally changes every day, but generally: Touche Eclat #3 under eyes then Mac Paint in Sublime Nature on lids (makes perfect base for shadows.) Lots of Chanel Kohl pencil, curled lashes and 2 coats of Diorshow Blackout or Bare Minerals mascara. Brows done with Mac 266 angled brush and dark brown Bobbi Brown Shadow. Lips are generally Illamasqua Welt – a dark matte pink and a weeny bit of Illamasqua blush in Thrust. I only use foundation for night’s out, so just a little Mac Blot powder in Deep Dark during the day – et voila!

Favorite Beauty treat? Amazing scented candles from Diptique, Estee Lauder gold compacts (I’m collecting them) and anything miniature. I have a huge stash of mini and sort of useless mini beauty products – it’s a compulsion.
What’s your favourite beauty store? Sephora, Sephora, Sephora. I spent 3 hours in the Orlando one once! The Cosmetics Company store (there is one in Bicester) is awesome too for discontinued MAC products etc. And of course Illamasqua and Carnaby Street Mac Pro.
Favorite Budget skin/make-up brand? Sleek – incredible products. Their £5 palettes are a dream every girls should have one!!
Favorite Premium skin/make-up brands? Illamasqua, Mac, Crème De La Mer, Lancome, SK-II, Shishido, Kose, La Prarie. I’m really into Japanese brands at the mo.
And Hair Care brands? Premium: Bumble and Bumble quenching range is both incredible and extortionate and Frederic Fekkai Protein range is lovely too. Budget: Lee Stafford styling products are fab – I use the blow-dry spray.

What Fragrances do you wear? My staples are Black Orchid by Tom Ford, Fracas by Robert Piguet and Coco by Chanel. Then I have one other I throw into the mix, at the moment it’s Coromandel by Chanel.
What’s your “every girl must own one” item? One amazing bright lipstick. Can be any colour, but as long as it’s loud so it can pull together any plain black outfit!
And finally, best beauty tip? Only 20% of ageing is hereditary, so the other 80% is environmental (and I mean the nature/how we treat it.) Wear an spf and only exfoliate once a week or you’ll have no skin left! ;)
