Crystal Fighters: "I LOVE LONDON"

I went to go stay with a friend in Central London on Friday, I wanted to go see an exhibition at the Barbican on 30 years of Japanese Beauty but my friend was very reluctant to go so we went shopping instead. I thought I would share with you the pictures I took on my day out. It's a little mixture, but the ones of people I wouldn't consider street style as I didn't purposely set out to go find them and to write about styles, just bits of there outfits or the whole of it I found quite interesting.
Now I'm a sucker for anything shiny or studded so when I saw this girl rocking this jumper I had to take a picture. I really thought the studded detail on the shoulder was really funky and interesting, and also gave the jumper more of an edge.
I saw this little boy and his dad and thought they looked so cute together and then I saw that they were both wearing roller skates and thought that was absolutely amazing!! (It did make me think of the Shadrack videos on youtube where he's just casually chilling with skates on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1UaKGAow7s)
Fur and a cape= major style points.

Me and my friend decided we'd go for dinner, on the way to the restaurant we saw two guys giving out free art. The pictures themselves weren't the best quality but the thought was there. I found the idea and the pictures quite humorous and sweet.
unfortunately my camera ran out of battery before I could take a picture of all the artwork so heres a picture of the one I chose to take :)

Happy Halloween!!!


Hey Glamazons! We just wanted to wish all of you a happy (and safe!) Halloween.
We love Halloween because it gives us the opportunity to get creative and dress up in outfits that we might not normally wear on a normal basis. Plus, Ferocia finally gets to use all that makeup that she has (yesssss!) I mean, just look at this pic of us from last year hahahaha!
Feel free to send us TwitPics or post photos on our FaceBook wall showcasing your Halloween costumes!

Ferocia's New Tool In The Battle Against Pesky Aging Things Like Crow's Feet (ewww!)




I’ve got a new secret skincare weapon that I’ve just got to share with you! (Because it would be super selfish of me NOT to tell you all about it and the fact that I’ve been using it non-stop since I was given the priviledge to receive it a couple of weeks ago at an event.)

So, without further ado, let me tell you all about the Clarisonic Opal. I’m sure that you’ve heard all about the actual Clarisonic for your face, right?

Well, just in case you may be saying “I don’t know what that is” while reading this, I guess it would only be fair for me to tell you all about it. The Cliff’s Notes version is that it it’s an awesome little face tool that utilizes gentle micro-massage action to gently cleanse skin so that you can better absorb facial products. In fact, there are all these fab clinical notes that have been published stating that you can remove six times the amount of makeup than you would with manual cleansing, reduce pore size, fine line and wrinkles while improving skin tone. Now, who doesn’t want this?!

So, after its wildly popular success, its great inventors came up with the Clarisonic Mia (a smaller, cuter version which I also scrub my face with religiously) and then TA-DA the Clarisonic Opal.

Us bloggers were treated to a little test preview at The Spa in the Trump SoHo tower. (Side note: Um, I was made to live in this building! It just exudes sexy swankness and I’m determined to one day have a penthouse suite there. Yeah, I said. Me. Stranger things have happened, right?! Hahahaha.)

I’m not sure of it you know it or not, but I’m obsessed with these crow’s feet that are starting to visibly creep onto my face (ewww!). So, I’ve been on a rampage to try and get rid of them. And now, dear Glamazons, I’ve finally found the tool that has done just so! This Opal is amazing in that it has the same vibrating, massaging technique as the Clarisonic except its used around your eyes. You know how they say you’re supposed to “gently pat” eye cream around the eye area lightly but don’t you ever wonder if you’re patting enough times or if you’re even doing it gently enough?! (I know I do!) The Opal takes all the guesswork out of this whole eye cream application business so you know that it’s getting done right and efficiently. And when things get done right and efficiently around your eye area, well, those pesky little crow’s feet just start to disappear over time like magic. And this Opal is so light and portable that you can take it everywhere with you!

Ah, I just love a skin miracle, don’t you!?

I know, I know the Opal is expensive ($245!) but believe me when I say that it’s totally worth the investment; and your face will thank you later. Also, if you can’t imagine being able to afford the actual Clarisonic, you can totally do its mini-me (the Mia) for $149.


You can feel good about your Mia purchase, too if you get the pink one since the brand is donating money to the national public service Look Good…Feel Better. This organization helps women with cancers manage their treatment and recovery with renewed spirit and greater confidence.

Both the Opal and Mia are available for purchase exclusively at Clarisonic.com and Sephora.com.

I’m telling you, after just one month with these products you’ll have the most lovely glowingest skin ever. Happy massaging!

Nigel Barker's Eternally Beautiful Face (Oh, And He Has A New Book Out, Too)


Nigel Barker really does have a beautiful face, Glamazons. And can you believe that my fellow blogging buddy Glambr grilled him about his skincare regime to no end and he doesn’t even really have one?! (Just drinks a lot of water..talk about some good genes!) That's him above..signing one of his new books for me. Isn't this an amazing pic?! Don't you love my Michelle Obama hair?! But (per usual), I’m getting ahead of myself..let me rewind back to the beginning.

One particularly stressful morning as I was wondering how the heck I was going to pay my rent for the month, I made my way down to SoHo to hear what Nigel Barker had to say about his new book, Beauty Equation. It was kind of strange that it was at Citibabes, which is basically like a daycare center for really rich parents, but whatever. Who am I to question event spaces? Needless to say, it turned out that having the background noise of screaming children while attempting to listen to this great man talk about his new book was not a particularly awesome experience so there wasn’t much that I got from the presentation.

However, lucky for me and my addiction to E! Television that I caught him the night before during a segment giving some pretty awesome style and red carpet tips.

Side note: You know how sometimes you take a pic and it looks like you have a third chin? Well, he said on the E! segment that you can avoid this by tilting your head back and then bringing it slowly forward right before taking a photo. No more turkey neck..genius!

While he did give some interesting background about himself (it seems like the man is head over heels in love with his wife) all I could think about was the fact that he is just as gorgeous as he looks on TV (if not better). I also thought that what a breathtakingly beautiful child we could have together.

But, all that is beside the point. The point is that his book is not as pretentious as one would think (considering that his main gig is to judge young girls on America's Next Top Model) and that I think that you should check it out. It also just happens to feature pictures of several editors that I know or have worked in the past with so it makes it that much more cooler in my book. (We all know that it would have been even more amazing if I’d have been featured in it as well, but that’s ok. I have high hopes and dreams that we’ll one be working together in some form of fabulous capacity.)

And how awesome is that he signed my book “To the most beautiful woman in the world?!” Yes, Glamazons, true story. (See below)

Beauty Equation retails for about $15 and is available now for purchase at a major bookstore near you (think Barnes & Noble). Be sure to let me know what you think of it after you check it out!

Liu Wen Looks Nothing Like Herself in the New Estée Lauder Ads

Liu Wen recently became the first Asian to sign with cosmetics giant Estée Lauder, so the fashion world has eagerly awaited a glimpse of the new ad campaign. I really love Liu Wen. She is absolutely stunning on the runway and has a classically beautiful face. It's also fantastic to see the fashion world becoming more racially diverse. I think Estée Lauder was truly lucky to land her as a representative of their brand. However, I was a little disappointed with the ad campaign upon first glimpse in The Cut. She just looks nothing like herself! Maybe it's that fuchsia lipstick or the commercial styling, but she doesn't have that radiant, natural look that she typically exudes.

What do you think of the ad?


There's no doubt that she is beautiful, classy, and worthy of the campaign. But, in comparison to a recent look from the runway (below), you might see why I was ever so slightly disappointed.



Here she is at Stella McCartney, beaming with a natural glow. Maybe the ad campaign is just a little too "glamazon" for my taste. When you're this beautiful naturally, do you really require all of that makeup?

What do you think about the ad campaign?

Gucci Fashion Hangbags Photos Reviews

Good news for Gucci fans out there, Gucci has finally announced that their new line of handbags will be out soon in early spring. We have spoken about these bags in our previous post and gave you all a little sneak peek on what to expect and now the excitement can begin, as you will be able to touch one of these bags and feel them. These handbags, as reported earlier, are made of a rare combination of Gucci’s classical designs with rare leathers that Gucci will implement in these handbags’ designs.

We all know that crocodile’s skins and the raw python skins have been Gucci’s trademark for a long time and we are honestly glad that Gucci decided to spice things up with their new line of handbags. The designs will also have the special conception from Frida Giannin who happens to be Gucci’s Creative Director for sale bags. These new Gucci Handbags will be available in Gucci outlets everywhere.
