Victoria's Secret Show 2012

So as I am sure most people are aware, the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show aired last night.

I just wanted to share a few of my favourite looks of the evening - and as every blog, news station and VS fangirl is covering the blonde, blue eyed lovelies Karlie Kloss, Cara Delevigne, Candice Swanopoel, etc etc, I want to really big up the three women of colour represented in the show - the three fantastic Js... Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls, and Jasmine Tookes.

Here is Jourdan Dunn's look:

She even bucked the trend of a cutesy blown kiss or a wink at the end of the catwalk and actually DID THE ROBOT. I loved it!

 

Joan Smalls <3

 

Jasmine Tookes

 

It is shameful how many pages of Google I had to scroll through to reach these. Says a lot...

 

Anyway! Here are a few of my other favourite looks of the night!

Foundation Trials and Tribulations

I am a complete makeup junkie. There, I said it.

I am also mixed race girl, and relatively pale with it. I tan to a very deep brown in the Summer within about two days, but in the Winter months I am kind of the colour of a milky coffee, and prone to looking pale and washed out without some colour in my cheeks!

Having gone through many trials and tribulations as a teen in an attempt to find a foundation that at least matched my skin tone I have been through everything from Natural Collection to Chanel.

I finally thought I was done with the search when I hit 20 and discovered No 7's 'Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation'. I LOVED this as it was a great match for my skin, it had wonderful coverage, no need for powder to eliminate the T Zone shine I am so prone to... etc etc etc.

And then it was discontinued.

I am now older, wiser, more in touch with what my skin wants and needs. I am currently working my way through MAC's collection of foundations... but I expect the search for the perfect foundation will be with me for life.
