The Beauty Queen.
I’ve known PR Queen and Beauty entrepreneur Kirsten Carriol for as long as I’ve been in the industry. Forever. She’s one of those effortlessly groomed women who always look chic, elegant and modern. Over the years, I’ve watched her establish her public relations company, become mother to two beautiful boys and found Australia’s hottest new beauty brand Lanolips. READ MORE…
Beauty RoadTest (Feather Extensions).
I kinda love Steven Tyler. I just finished his biography and I’m really enjoying watching him on American Idol – particularly the outfits.

The Beauty Queen.
Meet Alice Hampton, Communications Manager for Estée Lauder & Tom Ford Beauty. She is just like Jennifer Aniston - always glossy and groomed. Even in her workout gear.

The Ultimate Make-Up Brush Guide.
