Beauty Trends for Right Now by MAC
It’s SPA-rty time!
Oh to be a lady of leisure! If only we all had the time/funds to do everything we are meant to do to keep ourselves looking presentable each day. Cleanse, tone, exfoliate, moisturise, nails, hair (both ‘do and removal), treatments, makeup, perfume etc…where’s my (oh-so-politically-incorrect) billionaire husband hiding?

This morning we were treated to a preview of some of the official runway hair and make-up looks for the 2010 Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

News…Short & Sweet Style Wrap #11
