Gwen Stefani - inspiration

With the very recent release of No Doubts new album 'Push and Shove' its no wonder one of my favourite style icon's is being featured in pretty much every fashion publication this season. I love Gwen Stefani's style and the way she pushes the boundaries with her hair and make up looks. Suiting a lot of the vintage looks, you'll often see her sporting 40's victory roll's, 20/30's finger waves and her signature 40's red lips. Here I have put together some of my favourite images showing natural looks and signature ones - perhaps an inspiration to experiment with different make up and hair styles you may not have thought to try!

Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Make up Base

.......is absolutely amazing!!!!


That's all there is to it, I've just recently purchased this beauty marvel and I love it.

Its promise;

Never greasy, skin prep for the smoothest make up application. Its oil free with Shea butter, carrot extract, vitamin A & vitamin C which all help minimise fine lines and wrinkles and protect against the environment.

It has such an amazing smell to it (no wonder with grapefruit and geranium extract), apply over clean face and watch it melt into the skin giving the most fabulous base for any make up look.
It literally sorts out the skin dilemmas which can effect a make up look. I use it on all my clients and myself (well it was £36!)  So if you are looking to treat yourself to a good skin base, make this your choice. I luckily  purchased this when John Lewis had a 20% off sale on beauty products so keep an eye out for these offers too.
