Beauty Tip Of The Day

"A cream concealer gives the best coverage but make sure to set it with translucent powder. Use a powder puff instead of a brush - the bristles can ruin the finish." - Mario Dedivanovic (make-up artist to celebs).

50 Cent to star in Eastenders??

The number one American rapper is to leave the Hollywood Hills for a place in Walford Market to make a special cameo appearance in the UK's hit soap Eastenders within the next six months! The singer/actor was introduced to the soap by footballer pal Rio Ferdinand, and admits he is hooked on it.

Well, we might not be able to see Peggy 'bar' him from the Vic, but maybe we could see him team up with Phil and pick on Ian! Oooh, we can't wait!

Kim Kardashian - Botox Injection goes wrong...

If you are a fan of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' then you know the reality show shows anything and everything in the lives of the Kardashian girls. Well in their latest episode, Kim decides to have botox done after she feels she was being teased about a photoshoot with Justin Bieber recently, where she was branded 'the older lady'. Kim, 29, has vehemently denied rumours that she has undergone multiple plastic surgery, including breast augmentation, a nose job and butt implants, but she swears by Botox.Kim said: “I am turning 30 this year and I am freaked out. It is so embarrassing. It makes me feel older than I already am. Lines on my face are not acceptable.”But after having the botox injections, she reacts badly to them and is left with two black eyes! Kim said: “It itches. I don’t know what to do, my eyes won’t stop watering.”Khloé tells her: “It looks like someone has socked you, Mike Tyson.”Kim calls in Dr Vaisman, their family doctor, who says: “You’ll be healed up in a week. Hide behind your glasses.” Sometimes we get the feeling that celebs wear their sunglasses even to bed, but no worries Kim, we all love hiding behind our supersized sunglassses too!

Chocolate heaven! ♥

Who doesn't ♥ chocolate?? Not us! We do like to take the occasional break from bringing you the latest and best fashion news, and during that break - definitely not while we're blogging ; ) , we tend to indulge in a bit of chocolate, ok a bit more than that! So we thought it impossible not to acknowledge Armenia's greatness in producing the world's biggest chocolate bar, as confirmed by the Guinness World Records- yummy! The chocolate bar, which will be on show in the Armenian capital - Yerevan, next month, weighs a whopping 4,410 Kgs (9,702 lbs)!! The bar contains all natural ingredients, including 70% cocoa mass (and we all know dark chocolate is good for you!) As if all this wasn't enough to make us want to book a flight there right now, we hear the chocolate will be divided up and handed out FREE on October 16th. See you there!

Below, some more chocolate pics for all you chocolate lovers...

US Fashion Label Forever 21 Arrives in UK!

Forever 21 has just opened its first store in London, in Westfield Shopping Centre! Yay! The hip and cute fashion label already opened its first European store in Birmingham's Bullring earlier this year, and now Londoners can enjoy the US label aswell! As of yet they do not have an online retail store for the UK, but here's hoping they will v.soon! The clothing and accessories store is really popular in the US and reports are that with the same price range as H&M, the high-street fashion stakes just rose to neck and neck! The brand will also be in direct competiiton with River Island & New Look, to mention a few. We love Forever 21, and if it's good enough for celebrity fans of the label Miley Cyrus and Lauren Conrad (who has been spotted wearing their clothes many a time) then it sure is good enough for us!For more info on their London store visit - Forever 21 at Westfield

Victoria Beckham bans size 0 models from her fashion show!

Rumour is that Mrs Beckham has not allowed her clothes to be worn by size zero models at New York Fashion week which started earlier this week. Victoria, 36, said she wants "realistic and healthy-looking girls" to depict a positive image to her young fans and supporters. UK newspaper the Daily Mirror quotes a source as saying: “Victoria takes her role as a figure in the public eye very seriously and is well aware young girls look up to her.This is why she gets so angry when people claim she doesn’t eat properly – she does.” 

We're glad Victoria has taken this stand, even thought we're pretty sure she's a size 0 herself! Either way, it's nice to finally see a positive attitude to size 2 and up!!

Because life's too short for ugly shoes ; )

Would Dorothy want to click her heels and be back in Kansas if she had been to London's Selfridges? Nope, she'd want to definitely be back in the new Selfridges shoe gallery which fully opens on 16th september. With 55,000 shoes in stock at any one time and 4000 shoes on display from 150 brands, Selfridges has got us wishing we had more feet! There are six unique galleries surrounded by eleven designer mini-boutiques, each designed by the respective designer themselves, and each called apartments!! The Louboutin boutique is a replica of his Paris home, right down to the chandeliers and wallpaper! The Tods apartment is a replica of the Tods' CEO villa in Milan and Tamara Mellon recreated her New York apartment for the aptly named Jimmy Choo Apartment. The gallery will also sell Uggs, Rodarte shoes, ballerinas, heels, you name the shoe and it'll be in the shoe mecca - even Lady Gaga's shoemaker, Chau Har Lee has a section aswell! "Imagine you are in a gallery", says Selfridges' Director of Accessories Sebastian Manes. "From the entrance you see a succession of doorways, and at the end a huge window flooding the space with daylight. Your journey begins at the front, with shoes from the best of the high street. Slowly you begin to travel through different galleries until you reach the end – the couture designer gallery, flanked by Chanel and Louboutin, and a vision of Eden – the new suspended garden at Selfridges. Shoe heaven!"We think this is a unique experience for all budgets, as there will be famous names from the high street aswell - including Topshop & River Island. With all this to lure you in plus 30 exclusive shoe styles not available anywhere else, we say get your skates on (and swap them for a pair of Loubi's bought while your there!)

Beauty Tip Of The Day

" To achieve that 'just stepped out of the spa' look, soak a face-cloth under hot water and wring the water out. Place on a clean face and leave for 30secs. Remove the towel and dampen your skin. Cleanse your face with your regular cleanser and wash with hot water. Once finished, splash your face with cold water, and the end result - gorgeous, clean, glowing skin!"

The hot cloth acts like a mini sauna for your face, opening the pores. Washing with hot water brings all the dirt out of the pores, and lastly, the cold water acts like a seal and closes the pores for a beautiful, glowing face.

Couture Diaries Tried & Tested!

Branded the 'Rolls Royce of Nail Files', the Leighton Denny crystal nail file is just that! This multi-award winning file is made of the finest lead crystal, and simply turns the excess nail into dust whilst filing. Due to the file being crystal, you can file nails back and forth unlike normal emery board files, and what's more, it's unique surface seals the ends of the nails and helps to prevent peeling and splitting. We got this nail file as a gift and we simply love it. It is a bit heavy to the hand, but that is only due to its crystal properties. It files really smoothly and evenly. I've tried many nail files before,and my nails have always ended up splitting somehow, but with the Leighton Denny file that doesn't happen anymore. When using it, you really can tell the difference between it and other nail files. Best of all, the surface of the file comes with a life-time guarantee, so we would definitely buy again, but it seems that we won't need to! Price £15 on the Leighton Denny website, but £13.70 on Boots.com

Victoria Beckam to unveil new handbag line.

Victoria & just one of her Birkins

Now that Mrs B's clothes design have been seen on many a celebrity including JLo and Nicole Scherzinger, she wants to follow her success with a new handbag range. The collection, which is being jointly designed with accessories designer Katie Hillier, is said to hit stores later this year.  Rumour is that Victoria is growing tired of boosting sales for other designers and wants to use her influence to promote her own products. A source close to Mrs Beckham has said "Victoria is tired of promoting other brands. If she wears Christian Louboutin or Hermes people go and buy it. She thought, 'Why can't I do this with my own line?' " Oh my! Let's hope the bags cost less than any one of the 100+ Birkins Mrs Beckham covets!

Roland Mouret & Victoria Beckham

Roland Mouret has finally won back the rights to his name after a long dispute with his backers in 2005, and is now opening his first flagship store in London's savvy Mayfair! The six - storey store will open it's designer doors to the public in Spring 2011, and we're predicting Mrs Beckham - Roland's number one client, will be the first there. Has the competition in Mayfair just moved up a notch or will Mr Mouret love being neighbours with the likes of Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs & Lanvin who all already have a store in Mayfair? We'll just have to wait and see...
