Soap & Glory powder review

After buying and loving the Soap and Glory thick and fast mascara I decided to invest in some more of their products.

The powder titled; 'one heck of a blot' comes in a compact case with an applicator and a mirror, the packaging fits with the rest of the Soap and glory products perfectly.

The powder is a translucent colour and can be easily applied with a powder brush too, it doesn't have a very high coverage but it has a long staying time without caking over.

Dolce and Gabbana sentanced to 20 months in jail

Mr Domenice Dolce and Mr Stafano Gabbana have been accused in court of unfaithfully declaring their
earnings.


The pair have been sentenced to 20 months in jail although the sentenced have been suspended during their appeal.

The trial is a result of a crackdown on tax avoidance, beginning in 2008. 

On Wednesday the judge ruled that the pair sold their brand to a Luxembourg based company in 2004 to avoid declaring taxes on royalties of about 1 billion Euros.

However the pair have always stated that they are innocent, and are appealing the sentence.

The company have declined to make a comment.
