The night when I met Marilyn Monroe and OOTN

Yesterday I attended a private viewing of exclusive collection of photographs ranging from Marilyn Monroe’s early years as an aspiring actress through to her rise to international stardom. The event took place at Getty Images Gallery at Westfield Stratford City. It was an amazing evening, filled with glamour, great wine and great music. Also there was even a chance to meet a Marilyn look alike. Below are some photos from the event.

Dress code for the night was glamorous. I decided to keep it simple with a classic white shirt and a bow tie. I also added purple scarf for a bit of colour. Since it was bit chilly I had to wear a coat.

GREED

Most Inexpensive and Expensive Product?

Most inexpensive products has to be an MUA eyeshadow in shade 19 which I love and their two brow pencils, they are a £1 each from Superdrug, the pencils are really soft and very waxy so they fill in and set my eyebrows at the same time. 

Most expensive? It would be either Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universal or MAC 187 brush.

WRATH

What products do you have a love/hate relationship?

Has to be anything thats from MAC, one day I love their foundation and the next day I hate it. But I think that depends on what my skin is like, I find that they MAC foundations don't adapt to a certain skin texture. Same with the brushes one day they work like a charm, next day they shed like crazy.

What has been hardest to find?

I generally don't have a problem with finding the products I want and since I live in UK I have access to all of the major brands and products. But if I have to pick one product that has been hardest to find it would probably be Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, and it wasn't the foundation its self that was hard to find, but the lightest shade, I went into five different stores before I found one that had my shade in stock (100 Ivory).

GLUTTONY

What are the most delicious beauty products?

I have no idea because I don't eat beauty products.

SLOTH

What beauty products do you neglect due to laziness?

Face masks, body scrubs and body lotions/butters.

PRIDE

What beauty products gives you most confidence?

Foundation, its just covers any imperfections that I want to cover and creates an blank canvas for make up.

LUST

What attributes do you find attractive in the opposite sex?  

How is this question even related to beauty?!

ENVY

What item would you most like to receive as a gift?

Perfumes, especially Prada Infusion D'Hommes or one of the Tom Ford fragrances.

Prada Phone by LG

As I'm due to upgrade my phone really soon I have started by looking at all different smartphones that are available on the market at the moment, but this one in particular caught my eye. Why? Simple, its Prada baby! This is the third time that Prada has collaborated with LG to create a phone. At first when I heard about this phone I just said to my self; yet another nice looking phone with crapy features. But oh boy, I was wrong, this baby is running the latest version of Android Gingerbread (I love that name; Gingerbread) Let's have a look what Prada claims about this phone:


"Prada and LG unveil a new smartphone
The Prada Phone by LG 3.0 boasts a 1.0GHz Dual-Core/Dual-Channel architecture for high-speed performance, and dual-band wi-fi for high-speed surfing. Prada Phone by LG 3.0 comes equipped with an 8MP camera and up to 8 GB of user memory for user enjoyment.
The Prada Phone by LG 3.0 boasts a package of desirable features.
The device has the LG’s High Brightness NOVA Display at 800-nit, with a 4.3inch screen.
The device is amongst the slimmest at 8.5mm.
Equipped with Android’s Gingerbread OS, with an upgrade to Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich, users will enjoy full access to Android’s Marketplace.

Design
A simple sketch was the inspiration behind what has become an elegant concept, story and product.
Prada has worked hand- in -hand with LG to deliver the world’s most stylish smartphone, tailored to a discerning, fashion-conscious audience.
Details are important and the Prada Phone by LG follows a long tradition of aesthetic codes and craftsmanship that is at the heart of all Prada products. The Saffiano leather on the back cover of the phone is reminiscent of Prada’s leather goods and provides a stunning contrast to the chromed metal present on the phone’s frame and camera."
  

As you can see from the pictures this is very Prada, its simple and elegant. I really like how theres no buttons under the screen, just touch buttons. My main concern is the Black and White interface, its nice but as far as I know theres no option to switch to a colour version of the interface if you want to. Overall I think that  this is a very nice smartphone. Will I get it? I'm still not sure.
