Makeup : CK One Color

When I do have the time, I love escaping to Myer in Sydney CBD.

Lots of makeup brands and sales personnel trying to grab your attention and sell their products to you.

Well I was grabbed by the below counter. (Posted on my Instagram account @ellyalwaysloves)

What this brand offers is simplicity and the choice of relying I fewer products. This is great especially if you are travelling for work or going on a holiday, it's not ideal to bring your whole makeup and skin care products.

My makeup took 20 minutes (yes, talking about simplicity).
The look was casual for the day and enough for an after work drinks. (See pic below with my lovely fiancé, yep announcement right here!)

I used the below products.

Foundation - 3 in 1

I love the idea that there is three things in one. There is a serum in this which is great because I don't use a serum currently. There is a primer which means the foundation lasts longer. The finish is ok. It's a light coverage which suits me fine. But it smells a bit funny which I can't figure what smell it is.


Cream and Powder Duo Blush

CK have great ideas and I love how they have combined the best of both worlds - cream and powder. You use the cream first which is a darker colour and use the powder to give a soft and feminine look.

Lipgloss

This lipgloss range comes in many colours. The lipgloss smells really nice. And it glides on effortlessly and the best thing about it is, non-sticky.

Please head to Myer City for your mini-makeover!

The New Faces in Beauty

We constantly admire the beauty of celebrities, actresses and singers and follow their style religiously.

The chosen celebrities are carefully chosen out of a big pool and are selected to become the face and ambassador of the brand. They are chosen based on their likeness to their brand and their market of fans.

The latest beauty, to be signed to the international, luxury brand Armani has been compared to Angelina Jolie and named by numerous sources and magazines as the sexist woman alive. Her name is Megan Fox.

Fox at 24 is already signed to Armani Jeans and lingerie so this latest signing to Giorgio Armani beauty has come as no surprise. No doubt she will sexed up this high-end beauty brand.



Calvin Klein, a brand that is known to be sexy, provocative and made for the incredibly confident woman has chosen a more demure “Face”. This woman played the most beautiful in the world in a movie blockbuster, Troy. Her name is Diane Kruger.
Asked as to why Kruger was chosen, "The Calvin Klein Beauty woman is authentic and true," the company said. "She is accomplished and inspiring." The design of the perfume bottle highlights CK for embracing feminine curves.

The “faces” of these beauty brands will no doubt change throughout the years or they may remain as the “face” for over a decade, i.e. Andie Macdowall for L’oreal. Either way, as consumers and admirers we always want to look like them.
