The Verges

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

I will not lie. I have a small girl crush on Olivia Wilde. If my brushes could get their bristles on that face... oh the things that I could do! But really... her face is AMAZING for make-up, as you can see that other artists have benefited from. I actually used her layout from the December 2010 issue of Instyle as my inspiration for the South by Southwest portion of the photoshoot I did for the Two Point Oh LA Spring 2011 Lookbook (last seen here and here). And then I saw her on the cover of Cosmo this month, and decided I needed to do a post on her make-up (though its probably more just her face I'm obsessing over). So here is my ode to her, her face, and her make-up.

This last picture is ridiculously gorgeous! MAC Viva Glam or Chanel Lover would be good to create that lip. God...... can I come back as her in my next life? Pretty please?

Sigh. A girl can dream.

Stay Tuned!

XOXO

Harry Wales Watch

Fashion forward & wearing the bright orange waterproof suit is part of my secret boyfriend’s training for the Walking With The Wounded trek to the North Pole. My Ginger Lover will walk alongside injured servicemen during the first 5 days of the expedition. From there the team begins a 200-mile challenge to the magnetic North Pole. Harry will miss the actual trip to the pole because of his selfish brother’s stupid wedding thing.

Prince Harry, patron of the Walking With The Wounded charity, will sleep out on the ice & drag a 220lb sled in temperatures set to plummet to -5 degree temperature. Members of the expedition will be expected to carry a share of the cooking equipment, fuel for the stoves, tents & communications equipment. Each will need to take food, clothing & a personal kit.

It is hoped the Prince's involvement in the trek will help raise funds to help other injured servicemen & women find work, security & peace of mind.
