It has been quite a while since I blogged about the lovely Ms Hendricks. You all seem to have loved the post I did on Christina Hendricks before, and it's so nice to revisit. I have since found some more beautiful images which further illustrate what a great Bombshell she really is. If there is another Bombshell you would like me to write about, just let me know.  Enjoy these.

This is not only when storage solutions come in handy but also handy compact palettes. I love these pretty little gem-like cases which incorporate a small selection of colours. Although they do tend to be a little more expensive, than maybe a single lipstick as opposed to a whole compact palette of lipstick colours, in the long run they are so useful and will serve you well. Just make sure you look for compacts containing colours and textures that you are likely to wear. For years I have been giving palette-style compacts to friends as they make really great gifts. My advice is to purchase these little beauties in limited-edition when they arrive in the stores before Christmas, usually around October here in Australia.

This is a tad off-topic but I know I have been neglecting you recently and for that I am sincerely apologetic.

Over the past years (oh that makes me sound so 'mature'!) as a makeup artist, I have been consistently asked what cosmetic products people should use and what would work wonders for their individual needs. I tailor my answer for every person who approaches me on this subject. Everyone has their own set of concerns, issues, purposes and needs when it comes to beauty. I have even been commissioned to update cosmetic 'wardrobes' for clients. People sometimes feel as though they are intruding when they ask my opinion but the truth is, I really love advising people and helping them with their skincare and beauty concerns. Every brand has their 'Star Product'. A Star Product

I really feel that it is long past its due date for me to blog about Katy Perry. After all, my blog is primarily focused on Bombshells, and a Californian Bombshell Katy Perry she is. Actually, her real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.  I have taken the liberty to compile a short list of images of what I believe depict her at her Bombshell best. Let me know if you agree.

Right now I am focused on the crisp, clean pureness of white. It is so fresh, light, clean-looking, glamorous and any man, woman or child can wear the ever-stylish classic white shirt. Even white horses give me a sense of serenity and relaxation. And how much I do love fresh, good quality white bed linen. White paired with black is classic and eye-catching. White is simply sensational.  Audrey Hepburn  Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers  Natalie Portman  Ralph Lauren
