Lady Gaga MACs up
It seems any cosmetic brand that wants to be noticed has to have a celebrity endorse their products. With the market booming it is tough to get noticed and celebrity names can get you that! Chanel had Keira, Gucci got Rhianna and now MAC has landed the biggest star there is…… GAGA! Lady Gaga is promoting a new lipstick and lip gloss range inspired by her Bad Romance alter ego. At £13.50 it isn’t cheep but is attractively packaged, and if the advertising campaign is anything to go by its definately dripping with style!
Launched under the marque Viva Glam with all proceeds going to Lady Gaga’s Viva Glam HIV/AIDs campaign. For more info on the cause visit the site http://www.vivaglam.com/

Cyndi Lauper has also been involved in the campaign!
Best Foundation Finds (and worst)
Foundation is like a good pair of jeans, perfect once you find the right match but a nightmare finding it! Every girl has different taste and we know this from the hundreds of brands and shades out there on the market. So how is a girl to trawl and rummage through the mountain of testers and search through brand upon brand for the best foundation that will be the ONE! Every girl will depend upon her foundation to stick with her, though sleet, hale, and those first dates that require no faint hearted cover up!
Each time I sense that it is time to change foundation I get the inevitable dread of knowing a long search is ahead of me. But that dread is worse when it comes with the news that your favourite foundation has been discontinued!! This is exactly what happened last year when I went into John Lewis to buy my Clinique Gentle Light Makeup.
I used Clinique for 3 years and loved it so much that I didn’t even lose sleep at the £23 price tag. With no warning of it being discontinued I didn’t have a chance to stock buy or savour my last drop! Instead I was left wondering round John Lewis make up department looking for something to fill its super sleek shoes! To me Gentle Light was the Jimmy Choo of make up and I was now metaphorically speaking left shoeless! So after months of searching and pounds wasted I finally found the perfect foundation. It comes in the form of Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation! This has to be the best foundation I have come across yet.
From the months of trail and errors and countless wasted pounds I can tell you the best foundationsI found on the market today were:
1. Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation
3. Clinique Super Balance Foundation
And the worst:
1. Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse
2. Clinique Almost Make up (discontinued)
3. Benefit Some Kind of Gorgeous Make Up (this is with great sadness beacuse I love Benefit too!)
Although I read endless blogs and articles just like this for tips and tricks in the end its what you think looks best on you, no one can make the decision the for you when it comes to something as personal as foundation. When you dont have the luxury of a make up artist you have to become your own and that means doing the leg work, so I hope this article gets you there a little quicker.
