			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love beauty and fashion and I love shopping. I&#8217;ve worked as a beauty editor on glossy magazines for over ten years so have built up a brain crammed full of information. I&#8217;ve slathered billions of creams on my face and smeared countless shades of cosmetics on the back of my hand all in the name of research. Not so long ago I had a beauty routine which consisted of half of Boots and a wardrobe that was one season ahead of the game. But along came Little Miss P an that has all changed. I still can&#8217;t be without a pink blush and a Mason and Pearson hair brush but I haven&#8217;t got the time nor the inclination to fuss. Hop aboard this fashion and beauty shopping trolley, as I snoop around the shops discovering the little gems that suit our needs and will keep us sweet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2005, Shannon Nelson launched her beauty blog, A Girl&#8217;s Gotta Spa! as a way to bring relevant and easy to understand product reviews with a dose of honesty, intergrity and humor to women across the globe. As one of a handful of beauty bloggers at the time, it resonated with women looking for product opinion before they made a purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am 24 years old and living in London with my gorgeous boyfriend and our two house cats DeeDee and Sam. Unfortunately I am no domestic goddess, but continue to try &#8211; if I am to fail then at least I&#8217;ll fail with style and panache.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t sit still for long, well I am one of four children so it was never a quiet house. Love having a day trip here, there and everywhere. This is a place for me to note down some of those trips because it is so easy to forget the beautiful moments in life.</p>

Created in May 2010 by a make-up obsessed comedy writer, we offer honest, humorous and informative details of exactly what&#8217;s what in the world of cosmetics. With a history in modelling, we&#8217;ve been exposed to a vast range of creams and concealers that have not only helped us learn a wealth of tips, but also how to make the most of each and every product applied.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Asian Wedding Editor&#8217;s Guide brings together fashion, beauty, venues, catering, budget options, decor ideas, photography and real weddings to make planning weddings a bit easier. Not just for Asian brides, wedding editor and writer Poorna Shetty mixes a lot of the West, aiming it at the girlie girls, the tomboy, the tattooed bride, the don&#8217;t care bride, budget or splurge brides. Charing the planning of her own wedding as well as observagtions on wedding culture in general, it&#8217;s also a snappy read for everyone and anyone involved with weddings. With competitions, events and fashion designer profiles, it keeps it&#8217;s finger on the pulse.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As a model I am lucky enough to work with some of the world’s best hair and make-up artists as well as skincare experts, beauty editors and of course, fellow models, and this blog is a way for me to share this expert information.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been modelling full-time for nine years, and in that time have worked for hundreds of high-end clients all over the world.</p>
<p>Ad campaigns include Patrick Cox, Myla Lingerie, Jigsaw and Reiss; editorially I have appeared in magazines such as iD, Vogue, Elle and Numero.</p>
<p>I have always been very aware that models have a ’shelf-life’ and feel very lucky to still be working regularly after so many successful years in the industry. I don’t know whether there’s a ‘secret’ to maintaining one’s looks, but I do know that over the years I have always tried to take very good care of my skin and my health, and I have no doubt that this is one of the reasons that I am still modelling!</p>
<p>Throughout my career I have developed a genuine interest in beauty, particularly the benefits of good skincare. I am constantly on the prowl for products that encourage radiance and a healthy glow, and for formulas that can aid the skin in retaining its youthful look.</p>
<p>I am lucky enough to work with some of the world’s best hair and make-up artists as well as skincare experts, beauty editors and of course, fellow models, and this blog is a way for me to share this expert information. After hopping in and out of the make-up chair for nine years, I think that it’s time for me to document my beauty discoveries and hopefully to provide a little window into the world of modelling!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Aly Hazlewood. For the past 7 years I have been a working Hair &amp; Make Up Artist and have been blessed with not only success in my field, but a genuine love of what I do every day to earn a crust. My clients include actors, celebrities, models and musicians, and I wade in the waters of the fashion, TV and music worlds synchronously.</p>
<p>I have always been in love with the sweet-smelling potions and lotions from my mothers dressing table as a child, and this has developed into a deep appreciation of how beauty products can literally brighten a woman’s world. These days, for me, it’s not just about how pretty the packaging is, but also about the ethics of beauty products and the industry as a whole. Im particularly interested in natural and organic beauty and try to champion these products wherever possible.</p>
<p>This is now very easy to achieve with all the fabulous skin and body care products on the market, but somewhat harder to stand by when it comes to cosmetics and hair care. My performance as a make-up artist relies on using products that really work. It’s sometimes a hard line to toe, and I try to find a balance that works for me. My aim is not to preach to you, but to provide you with information so that you can best decide on your own beauty needs. For something to be praised, it has to be deserved.</p>
<p>This blog is about make up trends, honest product reviews (for if everything is ‘good’, then nothing can be great), giveaways, advice from an industry professional, ethical concerns and a more holistic approach to beauty. There will likely be some discreet anecdotal stories from my life as a make-up artist in there too, for anyone who is interested…</p>
<p>Update: I have decided to expand the remit of Beauty to include posts on other beautiful things I like, so from time to time, I might include a video link to something interesting, or rhapsodise about a piece of music, or drool over a piece of furniture or jewelry. You might just like some of these things too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just Nice Things began in March 2009 as Helen &amp; Sheenie’s Nice Things.  In less than a year the blog has come on in leaps and bounds simply through word of mouth in the beauty blogging world.  It’s led one of us to make an appearance on national television alongside a former British politician and cabinet minister and it’s taken us backstage at one of the shows at London Fashion Week too.</p>
<p>As of March 2010, Just Nice Things moved to a new and bigger home and we took all our beloved blogs from the old place with us, which is why you will notice how different the earlier postings look.  We will do our best to iron out the creases but if it takes a little longer, please be understanding.</p>
<p>We have also been renamed and will be sticking to it.  Thank you to everyone who has visited our blog, read it, commented on it and continued to keep coming back.  The support has encouraged us to take the next step forward and we are very much looking forward to what nice things lie ahead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jean Harlow was a Bombshell. Marilyn Monroe was undoubtedly one. Ava Gardner, Marlene Dietrich, Carole Lombard, Lauren Bacall, the list goes on. We adore tham all, and want to celebrate them through this site but not in the conventional way.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re all about Beauty Bombshells. Think red lipstick, arched eyebrows, perfect black liner and luminous skin. Platinum blonde hair, wavy red curls, impeccable bobs. Each and every Bombshell had one thing in common, they were groomed to within an inch of their life.</p>
<p>But we&#8217;re not talking fake tan, sparkly lipglosses and shimmer powder all over, hell no. We&#8217;re talking beauty at its finest. The products that achieve that bombshell look, how to do it and how to carry it off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The London Beauty Review is a consumer blog written and edited by two seasoned beauty addicts from London. Addressing readers with a frank, down-to-earth approach, the site is updated on most days of the week with articles on colour cosmetics, haircare, bath and body, treatments, trends, and broader editorial topics related to the beauty industry. We cover a full range of products from ultra-high-end (e.g. Snowberry, NV Perricone, Guerlain) to pharmacy/high street brands (e.g. Sleek, NYX, Ponds).</p>
<p>The London Beauty Review observes a full disclosure policy on all PR-supplied (i.e. free) products, and has done since its inception. Along with a friendly, approachable style and a culture that encourages chat and debate, this fosters a sense of connection and credibility between readers and authors.</p>
<p>The blog is written in &#8220;standard&#8221; English which is intended to be accessible to readers from all backgrounds and levels of education, as well as those in the US and overseas. We enjoy a broad readership with many international<br />
visitors.</p>

</strong>A full-time beauty obsessive whose love for cosmetics knows no bounds. I make videos on youtube, under the moniker lollipop26, and my blog is an extension of this passion. Primarily a place for me to review products with 100% honesty for my readers, you will also find a bit of general nonsense and chat thrown in for good measure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beauty chat from a makeup loving girl in London who has a penchant for designer handbags and gorgeous shoes. Obsessed with Sex and the City and all things New York, my blog is a haven for beauty lovers who want to leave the drama of daily life behind, and instead indulge in ramblings ranging from the most flattering nude lipgloss to the latest must-have lash lengthening mascara!</p>
<p>The beauty/skincare posts and reviews you read are based on my own usage experience, and are delivered with frank honesty injected with a little humour along the way. I&#8217;m no beauty insider, but I can tell my lipstick from my blusher and have a collection to make the makeup gods proud.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have spent over 20 years in the beauty industry &#8211; as beauty director on Company magazine, beauty editor at British Cosmopolitan, a freelancer for Marie-Claire and Men&#8217;s Health, and long before that had a Saturday job in a chemist with a Rimmel counter &#8211; all of which means I might just have clocked up enough hours experimenting with, writing about, testing out and generally immersing myself in all things beauty to be considered a bit of an expert. So I&#8217;m going to share some of the beauty secrets I&#8217;ve picked up along the way with you, introduce you to industry insiders and let you in on the latest launches.</p>

<p>I am a London-based beauty editor and have set up this blog with a single aim: to be utterly honest and objective in my appraisal of the myriad products on the beauty market today.</p>
<p>My ongoing sleuthing takes me through the best and worst, with many a pitstop in between. If there&#8217;s nonsense being spouted by a big-named brand or a tiny, unknown name that&#8217;s making skincare miracles happen, I&#8217;ll be sure to share it with you.</p>
<p>This blog is also about sharing stories, revealing the pyschology behind the products we&#8217;re drawn to and, of course, opening a wee window on the life of a very typical (if slightly outspoken) beauty editor.</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s anything you&#8217;d like me to cover, review, explore or correct &#8211; or if you just feel like sharing your make-up miracles AND misadventures with me &#8211; get in touch.</p>

<p>Nurse by day &#8211; Beauty addict by night! I aim to share my purchases and review any products I get on here &#8211; I always find other people&#8217;s reviews really helpful, so I&#8217;ll try to give some feedback which might help other people&#8230;.</p>
<p>That said, please bear in mind that we all have different skins and want different things from the products we buy &#8211; the opinions expressed here are purely based on my own experiences, please don&#8217;t hold me responsible if you make a purchase and don&#8217;t like it. I&#8217;m just telling you what works for me. I try to give balanced views but what you buy is your own decision! Right the serious bit over, lets get on with the makeup loveliness..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am an Australian born makeup artist who now lives and works in London. I am the lovely Kay Montano&#8217;s first assistant and when she doesn&#8217;t need me I do a mixture of fashion editorial, advertising, red carpet and runway shows.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I&#8217;m less interested in reviewing products that are new for the sake of being new, and more interested in products that really work. The difference between my blog and other beauty blogs is that I am a makeup artist working at the high end of fashion, and products that I like I have used literally hundreds of times, in all different conditions, on all different skin tones.</span><span lang="EN-US">I have privileged access to the top photographers, models and stylists in the world. As an assistant I have worked with Karl Lagerfeld, Paolo Roversi, Bruce Weber and Tim Walker. On my own I have worked with Andreas Larsson, Barnaby Roper and Nick &amp; Warren. You can find out more about my work on <a title="My website" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.christabeldraffin.com');" href="http://www.christabeldraffin.com/" target="_blank">my website</a>.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a thirty-something British woman who loves spending money on lotions and potions, but likes to find out what&#8217;s best before I part with my cash. So, my blog is a bit of chat and a bit of testing. Probably more chat than testing, but you&#8217;d get bored otherwise.</p>
<p>And even if I do get sent the occasional freebie, I&#8217;m always completely impartial. Otherwise, what&#8217;s the point? A few people have asked me how I have the cash to buy new products every week. (OK, one person asked me. OK, it was my mum). I shall answer the question with another question: have you SEEN my clothes? More seriously, I beg, blag, borrow and buy. And when the latter option is necessary, I console myself with the fact that Product Placement The Blog is an extremely worthy cause. Much like sponsoring a chimp.</p>
<p>Anyway, have a look, enjoy, go and spend some money and just feel more lovely. It&#8217;s that superficial.</p>
