Product Rave : No7 Essential Moisture Foundation.

If I had to live with one foundation and no choices in swapping it around, I would choose this one for sure. Not only does it moisturize but it has spf combined to protect your skin from the sun. This product you can only purchase in Boots stores as it is a boots own brand make up. This retails for around £10.50 which I think is reasonable for its quality and lasting wear. It comes in a series of shades and I fall under the lightest which is called Ivory. To apply I use a stifling brush from sigma and pat across my face and neck for an even air brushed finish. Once it is applied evenly, I use circular motions to blend it in, leaving my skin looking fresh and natural for the day. Smell wise, I wouldn't say it has a over powering scent but there is one lingering in the product. It's easy to throw into your make up back and the packaging I feel is sophisticated but simple. I would recommend this product to you if you have dry skin like I do, or acne prone as it covers scars and blemishes well.

Miley Cyrus (Grammy's 2010) Overview

Having never considered myself of a big Miley Cyrus fan when it came to her make up and fashion, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself loving her look at this years Grammys. Her simple golden eye with heavy lashes and liner makes her blue eyes pop as she has used warm tones to bring them to the top of their potential. Throughout the internet people have been slating Miley for her nude lip and how it washes her out. As a large nude lip fan, I think its perfect with the eye make up and it compliments her skin tone perfectly, if she was to go any darker, I feel she would pale herself out. As for her hair, even if I know its not all her real hair, I find myself jealous at the length and the colour.

For some reason people thought that Miley had chosen a "risky" outfit just for the fact that it was slashed. However, personally I love the look she has brought together. Its not too girly, but its not totally rocker that it doesn't fit in with the elegant dress code. With the simple accessories of black heels and a sparkly clutch, the outfit is brought together and if it was my choice, she would be one of the best dressed this year at the prestige music awards.
