Bras, Broken Teeth and the Launch of Zoella Beauty

ruth crilly model vlogger

I had a bit of a crazy day in town yesterday – jam-packed with meetings and errands and things to do – and so I thought that I would “vlog” it. (Regular readers will know how much I detest the word vlog; I will quite literally jump for joy the day it becomes something else. Because it’s bound to sooner or later – vlog will be an old-fashioned word and we’ll all be saying iVid or LifeCam or some such nonsense. I don’t care what it becomes, so long as it doesn’t end in “og”. BLOG. VLOG. Ugh. It’s like the sound of a toad throwing up.)

Anyway – where was I? Crazy day in town! I had hit my front tooth with a fork (don’t ask) and so had an emergency trip to the dentist, where I was scared half out of my wits by phrases such as “just drill a little hole in the back of your front tooth” and “pull the nerve out through it”. But then the X-Ray came back and I didn’t have a nerve in my front tooth anyway, it was dead from a previous “incident”, so there was nothing to take out! Hurray!

I then had a ton of meetings, which I couldn’t film (people are very unwilling to be filmed and I don’t blame them!) and after that I legged it to Triumph HQ where I tried the new Magic Wire bra. It is all kinds of amazing. All the effects of an underwired brassiere, but without the – um – wire. The comfort of a wireless bra, but with incredible uplift and shape.

Then I went to my model agency, Models 1, because I needed some polaroids to be taken for my German agencies and then, Dear Readers, I hopped in a cab to Zoe Sugg’s party to celebrate the launch of her beauty range. If you don’t know Zoe (known online as Zoella) she is something of a Youtube sensation, with six million subscribers watching her videos. She also happens to be a properly lovely person and I’m so chuffed for her that she’s taking the world by storm!

Get Noticed and L’Oreal Look

Hi Makeup Geeks!

I have a fun contest for you guys, and you know I don’t do these very often.  But the prize on this is AMAZING and pretty easy to do.  You will create a look using L’oreal products and submit it to their facebook page here.   The look with the most votes will win a trip to NYC, get your picture taken to be put in national magazines, and get a 5 year supply of their cosmetics!

I did a look for this contest- something perfect for a night out or even for Valentine’s Day.  It’s a very girly look using pinks and purples, and I used all drugstore products so this is budget friendly :)

Have a wonderful Valentine’s week everyone!

Much love,

Marlena
