Episode Noir

 
Hello Dears,

I AM BACK !
haha. I was very happy to shoot a more vintage set with Vincent Ducard. I no longer do vintage, for one simple reason ... I now find that I am too thin to wear the stuff that I used to!
BUT in this pencil dress, and a mix between rock, vamp, and retro I felt comfortable.
I think I'm gonna create more outfits like this, I want to feel highly fem when I'm in the role.
I'm not gonna give up what I raised inside me; with the new "boyish" style but clearly switching between both roles is making me happy and I am ready to fully enjoy it.

Outfit:

Dress from Asos
Repetto shoes
Perfecto Jacket shopped on Subdued

(oh and eyelashes from Ardell of course !)

`

Love,

Lorna

Reviewing Benefit and Co.

Hi Dears.

I used this short studio series to show you the importance of "little". No I wont be speaking of something as political as the Save the Bees action haha. Only wanted to démonstrateur that sometimes make up and face clearing could be be efficient with tiny products as long as they're the best!

These are all the little bees who worked on my face ! 

Three brands remains:

-Benefit 
-Kiehl's 
-Sieshiedo
I will describe each product to give you more instructions.

To shoot this make up, I am also wearing a dress from:
Collectif Clothing
Which I highly recommend when you wish to buy your first Neo-retro style item!

And a lovely brooch from my friend Jessica Cangiano's etsy platform :
ChronicallyVintage 

Starting from the left:

Really important to start with this one !

On the evening of a shoot, when I clean up my face I then add some little dots of It's Potent, 

Right on my black ring. And I leave it for all night long to pose. Then , I feel the ring formed is way less deeper.

You can also find some alternative of the cleaning and leaving-in of the night, by using the Benefiance,

From Shiesiedo as a cleaner and then, leaving the Oil from Kiehl's below, by small touches on the face.

So when you have a cleaned face in the morning it is always easier to put some make up on.

Stay Flawless: Brilliant idea. I am definitely not a fan of CC and BB cream. I found them useless.

But this, this is great. It is soft and not really tainted just enough to put straightly on after applying your everyday moisture cream.

It prepares your skin to receive the foundation, without having a big contrast between the two colours (of course.  You know you have to stay close to your skin natural colour, but sometimes we have such fade natural colour than there is obviously a difference.)

The PoreFessional: okay now, this is clearly Brilliant again. When you wish to have a doll skin this is what you should use BEFORE putting on the foundation. I always feel like my skin had already some digital retouching on !

Both products are from Benefit.

Stay Don't Stray: I was mentioning my rings earlier, well this is perfect for them. I don't know if you lived this trauma like me before, but my rings under my eyes always wanted to ruin my make up by straying it and 3 hours later you could see it was a bit "old" already. Now this is perfectly smooth and won't stray but stay ;)

To add before the foundation of course.

They're Real: I started to wear mascara really late, I always thought I didn't have the need to wear some. But this. This changed my opinion on it! It really makes my lashes pop off it is incredible.

Et voilà !
I don't often do tutorial or reviewing make up lines, but if you enjoyed it please tell me :)

Hope you're all spending a great summer...

I've been in the South of France to catch a bit of sun rays and it seems like being on a detox cure to heal my broken heart. No wifi, nor TV, nor sometimes phone net working either I've been walking and resting most of the Time.

& you ?

Studio Photoshoot by Miss Lucile Perron

GIVEAWAY! And, The Puppini Sisters Interview.

Once upon a Time , there were three girls... Emma, Marcella, and Kate. Three girls who miraculously appeared to be a band...

And came to spend their first jubilee in Paris, and most of all in le Balajo.

I already told a few words about this historical place last time, so let's focus on the girls.

And the Tea Party organized for their arrival (in the mean time than the Queen arrival, ndlr) !

We were only a chosen few to get here and take close pictures, interviews and stuff. 

Le Balajo welcomed us well, there were Kusmi Tea and boudoir biscuit...

I used not to like this kind of biscuit but there actually were gingerbread ones and those i pretty liked!

I could have done my shyness full girl but no, the Puppini Sisters were straightly nice to me, and started to chat about my tattoos so I reckon I should leave my interview Q&A a try.

I waited till all the Press magazines and Radio finished their business, then it was my turn.

But I'm glad they thought it was last but not least, as I made them laugh with my questions not so boring....

Me: As a hair stylist I wanted to know something. Did you actually matched your hair color on purpose or did you get along so Well that you even have a hair color close harmony ? 

(Do you have someone Who does your hair actually?)

The Puppini Sisters: Well, no all by ourselves... And I think we all chose naturally.

Kate: Yes, I think it's suits it all...

You own the retro musical personnalities these Days ... Which musical characters From our Days do you Love ? Hate ?

 

Emma: Kanye West! I think he's a simple genius. With his mind in the future. I adore his styling, music... Not attitude, but his music is so clever.

Marcella: I agree, and Pharell Williams! He is like a modern day prince, like a mix between Madonna and Bowie...

Kate: well, it's people like the Andrew Sisters you see they were really squeaky clean, so maybe a mix of that and something darker...

We listened a lot to your music in my last hairdressing salon ... Do you have a place where you hope you won't be played ?

Kate: Won't? Oh my god, not on Essex program... It is a terrible program it's like a fake reality show...

So, no! Not on crap Tv!

Okay so now I chose between two words... Your turn !

Vintage or Retro?

Marcella: Neither! Well not vintage for sure...

Kate: But we do call ourselves vintage Sweet pop!

Marcella: Vintagy? Somebody called us once, Retro Futuristic.

I, then, explained that the word I would choose is Vintage cause I find the word Rétro in French too much "tacky"...

Marcella: in England it's the other way round !

Heavy metal or r'n'b?

TPSisters: A mix between both!

Emma: R'n'B, R'n'B ...

Marcella: I would prefer Dirty Hip-Hop... Even like the Band , Die Antwoord, it is Hip Hop and it's Dark.

Kate: Well, I think it represents us well...

Marcella: she loves Heavy Metal!

Kate: That's right!

Emma: Then I have to say I love Nine Inch Nails... (Me too!) the bassist is my favorite, he's fantastic.

Morning people or nightlife ones?

TPSisters: We 're all morning!

Emma: And I'm also a night one... (Tired look)

Cat person? Dog person?

Kate: Cats! i have two new little kitten at home...

Emma: Dog, of course.

Marcella: neither... i'd rather have a snake.

And to end this Q&A... A Dream Wish?

Marcella: I always wanted to live La Boheme... Like living in a loft in Paris, singing...

(This is not La Boheme Marcella it's la Belle Vie! I add)

Emma: being a Pop Star. But at a ridiculous Level.

Kate: exactly the same.

They were really accessible and kind , I'm glad I met them. They made me smile cause they said I looked a lot like Kelly Brooke and Zoey Deschanel... Third Time of the week, weird! I told them goodbye and they admit I was their favorite person of the party. I blushed.
