Laura Mercier Animal Testing Update

This makes me so happy! Christine, from Laura Mercier got in touch with me after reading my rant and review regarding Laura Mercier’s Secret Concealer. Ladies, this will put your mind at ease….Laura Mercier does NOT test their products on animals. They also do not contract outside companies that test on animal. I am so relieved! I love my concealer, and I really did not want to give it up and luckily, I do not have to! I am still going to Holts on a mission…to get more Laura Mercier goodies!!

School again.

Hello Everybody!
How have u been?

I have to go to school tomorrow (1st of September). I will be in 2nd class.
I'm totally nervous and stressed because I don't like going there.
All this pressure and hurry...
I have to study hard this year. Important subjects for me are: Polish, English, German, Maths and Biology. I like foreign languages so I enjoy learning English and German. But Maths and Biology are difficult...

Today I took a photo in cat's ears that I got from my best friend! :D



And yesterday I recorded a new song - 'Use somebody'.
I'm sure that you know it because it's pretty popular.

Check here!



Okay! I have to go now. Wish me luck for tomorrow.

See u!

MICHAEL CINCO'S CRYSTALLIZED BIRTHDAY PARTY@ ARMANI

MICHAEL CINCO's intimate birthday bash last Friday, August 27 was at the ARMANI HOTEL, fashionably the most impressive and the trendiest in Dubai. The hotel is located at the tallest building on earth, the BURJ AL KHALIFA, the minimalist modern interior is sheer poetry in design, a concept that brought  a  whole new dimension in luxe indulgence.

 Mediterraneo, one of ARMANI's gastronomic restaurants, is a culinary gem, a truly ultra elegant cuisine. Divinely classy  with its fine service and impeccable buffet, the charm of fresh sumptuous produce from the sea titillate the senses...relishing and ravishing the palate.

The chef assured us that only the finest ingredients  that blend with textures and  flavours are gathered to every meticulously prepared food. It  was an intimate soiree of friends, creative food and the gelatos to die for.

Buoyed by love of life and better company, MICHAEL CINCO was his usual ethereal persona, his successful runway show at the Philippine Fashion Week made him the "celebrity du jour".....famous to stars, divas and celebrities alike.

The guest list at La Cinco's party, remained small and eclectic. Designers all..BANDOIX FLORES, VAL TAGUBA, FURNE ONE and BUTZ FUENTES. There is a certain code  that is not easily understood... and  the tight  circle capsulates the essence of friendship that is beyond fashion and style..everybody is comfortable with each other.

MICHAEL CINCO was chic in black Marc Jacob's top with white inside tee shirt printed with Kate Moss. A picture of portly charm and wit, La Cinco's high-power smile lighted- up his  striking 50 cm HERMES. I take an instant liking to my warm host.

Conversation flows easily while enjoying the elegance of Mediterraneo,  food is stunning... and divine.

The stellar ambience attracts lot of high profile personalities and known faces, who like us love the exquisite infusion of flavours of the grand buffet.

Looking sophisticated was BANDOIX FLORES in Calvin Klein's over sized white polo shirt with an HERMES belt and  matching black HERMES bag.

As we down our next round of starters, I notice the flamboyant  VAL TAGUBA in ZARA light green polo shirt, a Galiano belt and ove sized dark glasses...was so hard to miss.

FURNE ONE came later after his bigger- than- life photo shoot intended for his upcoming LONDON FASHION WEEK on September 17. The One came in black ARMANI tight shirt and an oversized FENDI bag. Success brings a beautiful smile on a slimmer FURNE ONE.

I came in tamed outfit of monochrome, wearing a Roberto Cavalli gray shirt with darker gray KENZO trousers with matching scarf.

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer - Rant & Review

I feel like I am always on the quest for the perfect concealer. My under eye circles are not that bad, but they do need a little help. I had been using Benefit’s Erase Paste for the longest time until boredom struck and the creasing just became unbearable. I found myself walking along Bloor Street one day and I strolled into Holt Renfrew…ok, fine….I often find myself walking along Bloor Street and strolling into Holt Renfrew, but that is besides the point! Anyway, I asked the lovely girl behind the Burberry counter for her advice. I originally wanted to see if Burberry had a good concealer, but unbelievably, Burberry has not yet released a concealer. However, their foundation is formulated to work as concealer. She suggested that I try Laura Mercier’s Secret Concealer and so I did. She helped me find the perfect match (shade #3) and I was on my merry little way.

Here is the lowdown:

- It conceals discolorations and dark circles around the eye area
- Great application, very smooth
- Long lasting
- Creamy, yet thick (think Erase Paste, but with much less creasing)

The website states that you should use it after you apply foundation, not sure why. However, the girl at Holts did not tell me this, so I have been putting it on before applying foundation. I think it works great and it does not matter when you apply it.

Now here is my issue, after I purchased it and used it I read the back of the miniature box that it comes in. If you have purchased Laura Mercier products you know exactly what I am going to say….the back of the box reads….FINISHED PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS. Um, is that a good thing? No. No. No and NO. What they are saying is that once the product has been formulated to perfection they stop testing it on animals. Heartbreaking. I refuse to support any brand that is cruel enough to test on animals. Laura Mercier, shame on you. I was really taking a liking to the concealer and I thought my search was over…but, apparently not…back to Holts I go…not complaining…

St Tropez Summer Skin SOS

So your summer holiday is over but that doesn’t mean your tan has to be too. Follow these easy top tips from St Tropez tanning expert Tammy Baker to ensure that your tan lasts just as long as your holiday memories…

Once you have returned from your holiday it’s natural to want to make your sun tan last as long as possible so for an immediate colour boost use the St Tropez Tan Intensifier. This unique lotion is infused with rich Mediterranean oils, antioxidant vitamin E, and a specialist mix of tanners to help prolong a golden radiance and finish the skin for maximum impact. This is a hydrating gel based product glides over the skin to provide an instant boost which will then develop over 4-12 hours. Apply Tan Intensifier every 2-3 days when you need that extra boost of colour to make your holiday tan last as long as possible.

To achieve an all year round glow that can rival your holiday tan Tammy suggests using St Tropez Bronzing Mousse ‘my favourite product is Self Tan Bronzing Mousse because it is very quick and easy to apply with the Tan Applicator Mitt and it dries in 60 seconds meaning you can get dressed straight away. The guide colour will provide you with an instantly gorgeous natural tan which develops over 4-12 hours. The tan lasts 3-5 days and is easy to top up when necessary’

For those who prefer a hint of colour on their skin Tammy recommends using Gradual Tan Mousse.

‘Just like Self Tan Bronzing Mousse this is very quick and easy to apply with the Tan Applicator Mitt and it dies in 60 seconds. There is no guide colour this time but you can see from the sheen of the product where you have applied it. This will develop into a natural tan which will provide a subtle boost. You can apply Gradual Tan Mousse anytime you feel you need a colour boost. Allow to develop between 4-12 hours for the best results’

If you maintain your tan correctly you can achieve a healthy glow all year round without anyone even realising you are using a self tan product. ‘ After care is essential for Self Tan maintenance. Use St Tropez Body Polish every 2-3 days. This will gently buff the skin and ensure the tan fades more evenly and revive your skin. Use St Tropez Body Moisturiser or Body Butter daily to keep the skin beautifully hydrated and make the tan last longer. If your skin is dry and dehydrated your tan will fade faster and become uneven’
