Mila Kunis for Dior

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Since playing Jackie, the self-obsessed, bossy teenager in That 70s Show, Mila Kunis has morphed from a small screen actress to Hollywood A-list star.

Her career really took a turn when she starred alongside Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall in 2008. It was in this movie that she really caught the attention of the public as a talented comedic actress, not to mention absolutely stunning!

Her performance in the 2010 hit blockbuster Black Swan cemented her place as one of Hollywoods hottest actresses scooping up an award for best young actress at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. She starred alongside Natalie Portman and the pair will certainly be remembered!

She will be reunited with Miss Portman once again as Natalie is currently signed to the Miss Dior Cherie perfume campaign & now Mila who was one of the most bankable magazine cover stars in 2011 portrays a smouldering, sexy goddess in the new Dior campaign photographed by the renound Mikael Jansson showcasing the latest versions of the Miss Dior handbag.

Mila is excited to work with the iconic fashion house. The 28-year-old star loves the ethos of the “grounded” label. Speaking about Dior,

“I find that Dior is an incredibly grounded house. I always thought what Dior does is so sophisticated, feminine and beautiful.”

Christian Dior boast a number of actresses and actors as ambassadors, previously featuring: Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Mélanie Laurent, Sharon Stone and Jude Law.

What do you think of the new campaign?

The quickest way to flawless nails!

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

During the past year we have seen a real rise in nail trends. Crackle nail polish burst onto the scene throwing us all into a nail art frenzy! Since then we have dabbled in tie-dye nails & even magnetic nail polishes.

For those of us who simply don’t have the time or patience to go dipping a sewing needle into nail polish to make designs there are of course, nail wraps!

The trend began with celebrities like Katy Perry, Alexa Cheung, Beyoncé and Rihanna leading the way so it’s no wonder they are quickly becoming a beauty must have!

With so many designs to choose from whether it be a block colour, animal print, lace or candy stripes you can make your nails look like little pieces of art with ease!

These little wonders only take 15 minutes to apply & last up to 7 days on nails & 8 weeks on toes! They don’t chip or stain will stay super glossy for the entire time you’re wearing them. You can get nail wraps at Topshop, Boots or online at Nail Rock .

Have you tried this new phenomenon?

Let us know your favourite design!

Lady GaGa’s natural look!

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Since bursting onto the scene just a few years ago Lady GaGa has gained a reputation for being eccentric & over the top….to put it lightly.

At first there was the white blonde hair & blood red lips that made her stand out from the crowd but with her ever evolving style influencing other artists to start going a bit ‘gaga’ she had to keep stepping it up.

GaGa has always been creative in her videos, whether she is dressed in fishnets & duck tape or dressed as a man!

Her red carpet outfits have always made headlines. The now infamous meat-dress is now on display in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We have also seen her with cling-on type monster make-up & of course her arrival to the 2011 Grammy’s in an egg not unlike something from alien. She may be crazy & eccentric but at least there seems to be a theme, a method to the madness perhaps?

Lady GaGa is the latest cover star for Elle Magazine & she is glowing with a really stripped down look.

Her make-up is very minimal with muted neutral tones & she looks stunning. Her hair is very edgy while still maintaining a clean, minimal look. The mesh around her eyes brings a little bit of that GaGa edge that we are used to. She manages to look edgy while keeping the look fresh at the same time.

The LA Team are very impressed with the latest cover & we want to know what you think?

Do you love this look or do you prefer to see the monster in her?
