Ginge of The Week: Julieanne Moore!

This week fresh from NYC we have West Village local:

Julieanne Moore

crowned with this week's ultimate ginger honour!

Although her hair colour may change a little from role to role, she always remains true to her ginger roots and I think this shade of light difused copper suits her complexion perfectly.

I loved her look as Charlotte in the beautiful 2009 movie by Tom Ford: A Single Man

Top 3 Makeup Destinations in NYC

• NARS FLAGSHIP BOUTIQUE

413 Bleecker St NY

It's an upmarket boutique for makeup lovers- its the only Nars concept store in the world!

So far.... and with Mariacarla as the face of their AW campaign, what's not to love?

I couldn't resist Nars Matte Lipstick in Pigalle. It's a great shade to take you from day to night and very long lasting without being drying.

• SEPHORA

there's pretty much one in every neighbourhood so there's no excuse not to visit when you're in town.

It has all your makeup and beauty needs under one roof, and much more!

• BARNEY'S COSMETICS HALL

660 Madison Avenue, NY 10065

with all the luxury beauty brands including the legendary 'Lipstick Queen', it reminds me a little bit of the Liberty London Beauty Hall and is a home away from home in the big apple

Looking Pretty In The City

What's in your makeup bag?

Whilst on my travels, I caught up with Gera my Manhattan Princess who is another fellow makeup obsessive from London, now living in NYC.

Gera's Top 5 Beauty Essentials:

1. Guerlain Bronzer

2. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (creates a flawless face)

3. Lancome Juicy Tubes (shade: Melon)

4. Smashbox Primer Photo Finish (for a picture perfect finish)

5. Lancome Hypnose Mascara


Gera also introduced me to another "must have" in her makeup bag :
Givenchy Le Prism Yeux Mono (one colour, four finishes) which is a great tool to create the perfect smoky eye for a Manhattan night out. It actually is a lot darker than it appears in the picture, it is literally black with 4 different finishes- matte, shimmer, metallic and opaque shimmer.
Aaaaah I gotta get myself one... NOW... is there a Sephora nearby???

ALEXANDER the GREAT

If you are in NYC anytime soon you must, MUST see this amazing, inspiring exhibition- "Alexander McQueen, Savage Beauty" at the Metropolitan Museum which has just been extended a little longer due to popular demand.  It is an amazing experience, not just an exhibit, which gives you an insight to the work and talent of the creative genius that is Alexander McQueen.....






Im so inspired, I can't even put the words together just now. Review coming soon.
It's certainly a 10/10

Yesterday I went out on the tourist trail with my Mum and took the ferry out to the statue of Liberty.
The view of Manhattan from the ferry was just beautiful....
