Through my many experiments in beauty, I have come to realise that there are a few looks that no matter what the year or season, will come back again and again in some form.

Every once in a while, something comes along that attacks the internet. Like a virus that lays eggs in your computers and makes it's way into your homes, whether you like it or not. Like Rebecca Black's atrocious hit, Friday (that we all couldn't shake from our heads) or the act known as planking (admit it, you've tried it); It's what has become known as 'going viral'...

You may remember, not too long ago, when I completely fan girled out over my pretend celeb BFF Dianna Agron. I mean, she's just so impossibly cool and badass! Though it seems unlikely, I think that Dianna has gotten even cooler because she's officially my beauty icon.

Summer time means that it's time to put away the burgundy and plum coloured lipsticks and try on fuschias, pinks and tangerines!
