Everybody has a favourite red lipstick and for a while, mine was Guerlain Rouge G Gigi, a pinkish-red with blue undertones that is perfection. Then, I tried Tom Ford Cherry Lush and it got serious competition. As the name says, the cherry hue is exactly the kind of red I like, and the texture, the lasting…
Today’s spa is in my second favourite place in the world (after London, of course!): California! The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel is located at Dana Point, close to Laguna Beach, facing the Pacific Ocean and in the heart of the famous O.C region (yes, that one from the TV show). The views are breathtaking and…
We grow up hearing that vitamin C is good to our health and the best thing to prevent a cold. It’s true that eating fruits and vegetables that contain the vitamin is important, as applying it to the skin (but don’t squeeze a lemon and use as a face mask, it doesn’t work like this…)….
Just like most supermodels, Garren doesn’t need a surname to be instantly recognized (FYI is Defazio). He is responsible for the hair of almost every model in the pages of Vogue, has created the iconic looks of Linda Evangelista, and takes care of Amber Valletta, Carolyn Murphy, Natalia Vodianova and Karlie Kloss. Garren also cut…
The first product from Fresh that I tried was the Sugar Lip Treatment, that I got as a sample at Sephora and immediately fell in love with. I hate the feeling of dry lips and have tested tons of lip balms but this really stood out as the moisture effect lasts for hours! The tinted…
Sun-In was one of these products that you asked every friend or relative that travelled to the US back in the 80s or early 90s to bring. The spray gave a sun-kissed look to the hair without the need of staying in the beach for hours (and frying your skin). I was 11 or 12…
My all-time favourite nail polishes are from Revlon. The wide colour range and lasting effect (better than Chanel, in my opinion) puts them among my top choices, but I must confess there is also an emotional attachment with the brand because it had Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer as the stars of the campaigns when…
Amangiri is a perfect retreat if you dream about holidays in a quiet and isolated place but still don’t want to compromise on comfort and luxury. The resort is literally in the middle of the desert in the south side of Utah, close to the Grand Canyon. With only 34 suites and breathtaking views, it is…
She was just 13 when found about the power of a good mascara. From there, decided that was going to use makeup as a tool to empower women. The plan worked wonders and Charlotte Tilbury became one of the most respected makeup artists in the fashion industry and owner of a best-selling brand. Born in…
Retinoids are part of my life since I was a teenager as I visited the dermatologist for the first time searching for acne treatments. Along came the habit of wearing sunscreen every day to avoid dark spots (recent studies show no relation between retinoid and skin pigmentation with sun exposure, nevertheless, sun protection is a…
