Are you a Make Up Geek?

I know I am ... I LOVE creating new looks and playing with colours and product.

I have a TON of different products, brushes, tools and love collecting new ones every chance I get. HELLO! Can we just admit that I have a massive addiction to SEPHORA?

And when I say a TON I mean it, I just recently had to buy a new & bigger 3 drawer organizer just to make the stuff fit ... well, and to get the MAN off my back about my eye shadows and brushes being everywhere ... sheesh ...

However, I am a far cry from a pro and sometime need help getting the look I want ... that is when I turn to Marlena ... the one and only

Just look at some of her amazing colour choices and styles and her awesome HOW TO's PLUS she dose awesome celeb recreations, think Pammy, Mila, Christina ... and of course Dita!:







Viva GLAM all the way to the basics ... LOVES IT

Coachella Bound!

Well, its that time of year again, P and I are packing the car up and hitting the 101 South to Palm Springs for 4 days of sun, mountains, art and amazing tunes.

And this time we have more than enough memory card power, as the events of last years trip were compromised due to inadequate photo storage, a mistake not to be repeated.

This years line up is stellar, regardless of some of the bad vibes on the message boards. I'm particularly excited to see the following:

Crystal Castles
Felix da Housecat
Franz Ferdinand
Ghostland Observatory
Girl Talk
Morrissey
Noah and the Whale
Paul McCartney How insane will it be to be in the prescene of a BEATLE?!
The Crystal Method
The Black Keys
The Presets I am retarded excited for this set ... my heart is racing already ....
The Ting Tings
We Are Scientists
White Lies
TV On The Radio
The Chemical Brothers (DJ Set)
MSTRKRFT Junior Boys
Mastodon
The Cure
Perry Farrell
Peter Bjorn and John
Glasvegas
Henry Rollins - spoken word
Fleet Foxes
Etienne De Crecy
Billy Talent

Here are some of my fave moments from last year (bear in mind that the Roger Waters video is not from Coachella but its the same song that moved me to tears):


This was INSANE!!! I was sweating my ass off but I could not stop dancing!!


Chills ... that's all I can say


I had actually never heard this song before his set at Coachella and I was moved to tears, as were most of us...


Jack is the MAN


I fell in love with MGMT in this tent and the affair is still going strong...


The ones that started it all ...


FUCKING UNREAL!!!!
