Lash Heavy

I know I love lipstick and everything, but for today, ilovelashes is more apt. Maybe there's a sister blog in there somewhere...

W7 England eyelashes. OMG. The collection has officially recommenced.

A L'Oreal contract would be lovely, thanks

It's a little known fact; I collect eyelashes. It used to be spoons, stamps and bouncy balls (the first two can be attributed to a pushy granddad, the third I have no excuse), so it seems I have a collective personality.

For three years I've been so excited by the lash launches, I've added them to the bag under my desk. I sometimes take them out and look at them, but seriously, I just really love lashes.

Imagine my horror then to find the bag GONE from beneath my desk on my recent tidy. Who would steal a bag of lashes? Except me?

A tiny bit of compensation came today in the form of an invite to the new She Uemura 2010 lash bar launch, Neo-Tokyo Odyssey. I will of course be there with bells on. A good place to start again I guess...

Desk Tidy

No one send me anything or put anything on my desk today please. No press releases, no proofs, no products, no invoices.

This took me two hours. On a weekly magazine that is no joking matter...

Alex Monroe for Charity

So jewellery. Not technically beauty based, but having formed a mutual appreciation after a few shoots like this one (all rings by Alex Monroe), I'm a bit obsessed by him (and him, me I like to think).

This is joyous news then: Alex has designed this entirely covetable 18ct gold necklace for Fight for Sight (a charity which researches into the prevention of blindness).

So, now I'm in love with an accessory, but I have to wait till 1st May when I can bid on it at auction. Yes I'm sure you like it too, but you'll be bidding against me and I don't give up easy...
