American it-girl Gigi Hadid has just been announced as a Maybelline New York spokesmodel. At 19, she has already graced the runways for some of fashion's top names, has advertising campaigns for Victoria's Secret and Guess, to name a few, has a massive social media following and is part of fashion's new "brat pack" which includes Kendall Jenner. She is without doubt one to watch.
Makeup in the summer months is about enhancing your skin and embracing a sun-kissed glow, adding a little shadow for night time, and you can't go wrong switching between a nude and pink lip. All the products to achieve this are in Get The Look, including Benefit's just-launched Puff Off to help smooth out puffy eyes, Smashbox's fabulous Cherry Smoke eye shadow palette and Maybelline's amazing Colossal Mascara.
Mark February 12 in your diaries for that is when M.A.C Viva Glam collection goes on sale in New Zealand. The campaign, fronted by Miley Cyrus, features the most glorious pink lipstick and lipglass and every cent of the selling price goes towards helping women, men and children living with and affected by HIV and Aids.
Check The Line Up for some natural delights from my favourite New Zealand brands Skinfood, Tailor, Go Healthy and Trilogy.
This includes a limited-edition dress-up for Trilogy's Botanical Body Wash from local fashion label Hailwood, Skinfood's new Certified Organic Rosehip Oil and something I can't live without, Tailor Mist. Keep an eye on Tailor. This year will be a big year for the homegrown natural skincare brand. A new website and look launches this month, followed by a number of health and wellness events, ebooks and videos.
