When I was 16 I loved posting in and reading makeup forums and blogs; I did my makeup everyday and always got compliments from the girls at the MAC counter. Makeup was just something I loved, and I loved experimenting with colours, shapes, application, etc. to the point where many my friends in undergrad would … Continue reading

Recently I was invited to a Google+ Pages workshop at Google London’s Victoria Headquarters. And, being the inquisitive Community Manager that I am, I graciously accepted. (That, and I really wanted to see what Google’s London HQ looked like!) But when I showed up I found out that, while reception looked like a Google Doodle and there … Continue reading

Tonight I bought Colour.Bug in pink by Kevin Murphy for £13; five minutes later and I’ve got pink hair! Recommended by my friend Dami, this washout alternative works like eyeshadow for the hair.
