Angelina Jolie in Fatigues for Vuitton Cambodia Ad Trying Hard to Look like a Poor Peasant {Celebrity Look}

Angelina_jolie_vuitton.jpg

Actress Angelina Jolie was apparently roped into posing for the latest Core Values Louis Vuitton ad. One cannot but notice that the advertising campaign is an odd mixture of styles. First of all, it reminds you vaguely of Jane Fonda in Vietnam in the 70s sporting pseudo fatigues. As in a reminder of that political era, Jolie is wearing an outfit that looks like a cross between a peasant working clothes and kaki military fatigues. Her own Alto carryall bag creates a marked contrast with the worm-eaten boat, to the point where it makes you feel a bit uneasy about the discrepancy and the message it conveys of laugh-in-your-face luxury...

Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lip Color (2011) {New Beauty Products - Lips}

 

bare_minerals_pretty_amazing.jpgBare Minerals are launching a new collection of lip colors entitled Pretty Amazing Lip Color. The spirit of the collection is to aim to avoid the pain of having to choose between the staying power of a lipstick and the high shine of a lip gloss by offering the best of both worlds in one (economical) tube. What the brand promises also are that the pigments are highly saturated while the shine factor was designed to be long-lasting...

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush Scent {Beauty Review - Hair} {Perfumed Beauty}

batiste_dry_shampoo_blush.jpgAs summer is approaching, as well as beach and swimming times, and travel times, it's the high season to consider using dry shampoo. I had not kept the best of memories of my early attempts in that area. But let's say it was probably prehistoric time in terms of dry shampoo (I'm not a fan a priori of the concept.) Spying a small pink canister of British brand Batiste Dry Shampoo Blush, I decided to give it a go because the packaging looked hip in a vintage way and the shampoo smelled good in the Blush scent, a tropical white floral meant to help you escape to Hawaï or some such place...
