British Miss Vogue to be launched

The issue will come with June edition of Vogue free of charge.

Beauty review: Benefit That Gal primer

'That Gal' primer is £21.50 and is available from benefit.com. The primer claims to highlight skin and correct dull, yellows skin tones, it does so through its shimmery pink colour. The thin texture feels nice on the skin and has a pleasant smell, although the primer is shimmery doesn't make the skin so, it simple it leaves the skin looking refreshed. The primer creates a nice base for foundation and helps it to stay in place, and it also makes it easier to apply. I used it with my Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation in cameo. Although you can get cheaper primers, I think that this product is worth the money as you need less than a pea sized amount for one use.

I would give the product an overall 4/5

John Galliano's fashion comeback

John Galliano has confirmed that after 2 years, he will be returning to the fashion industry.

Galliano is taking a temporary residency in Oscar de la Renta's New York studio. The designer was fired from the luxury brand Dior in 2011 after making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe.

The designer has not had a complete break from fashion, he designed Kate Moss' wedding dress in July 2011 and has been named as the new creative director of Schiaparelli. The brand John Galliano has also continued to release collections 

Vogue reported that Galliano "has worked long and hard on his recovery", after Galliano admitted to WWD  "I am an alcoholic." de la Renta has known Galliano for many years, admires his work and is more than happy to be offering him such a vast opportunity.

 
  The designer has deeply expressed his sympathy "I said and did things which hurt others, especially members of the Jewish community. I have expressed my sorrow privately and publicly for the pain which I caused, and I continue to do so. I remain committed to making amends to those I have hurt." Vogue reported.

Photoshoot and Fashion spread

It's been a while since I posted anything, I have been back at university with loads of deadlines, I also designed several Christmas/New Year nail patterns but was ill over the festive season. However here's a look at what I've been getting up to at university.

I helped to style, shoot and edit the photos we then created a 6 page magazine spread. Our theme was 'Wish you were here', we decided to shoot this with ideas of British holidays and thoughts of missing someone.

 The photos are shot on Roker beach.
