Gift Inspiration from the gals...

There are only 32 days left of being a good girl for Santa (phew!) 

Whilst that's a relief it doesn't help with that list of gifts you have to start shopping for. But don't panic us pretty pixies are here with our selection of perfect presents for all the glamourettes in your life this Christmas... 

Powderpuff Girl Katrin reveals her perfect present: A gift that shimmers all year long 

This Paul & Joe Palatte is the perfect present because the colour selection allows just one palette in the handbag, it can cover blush tones with the beautiful pink shades, but it also gives a couple of brown tones - a deep and a lighter one which means you have a day colour that it subtle but you can build into the dark one for that 'after work' drink or date without having to load your purse with 5 different boxes.

Paul & Joe Colour Palette - 03 £30 

The lighter golden tone can be a shimmer on top to create a luminescent glow and the white acts as a great highlighter on top of your blush and also on the brow bone, and even a tiny amount on the bow of the lips will give a great pout illusion for those wanting to plump up. 

Not only does it have the colours, but your brushes wont get ruined by other items in your handbag because it comes with two small brushes that fit beautifully into the compact.

If that isn't enough to please you, the packaging of the palette is so feminine and beautiful you might not want to take it off display on your dresser! Keeping in trend with Paul & Joe it keeps a subtle design on a gorgeous off white base and even a mirror to double check yourself before making a grand entrance.

This palette comes in three different shades, so you're certain to be able to find one to suit any skin tone for a gift this Christmas.

Happy Shopping

Meet the Powderpuff Girls: Interview with Bianca Pereira

Each month we will interview one of the gals and reveal all of their beauty secrets, tips, loves and inspirations. We do hope you enjoy this peek behind the scenes here at The Powder Room.

Meet Bianca...

Q: What's your favourite thing about being a Powderpuff Girl? 

My favourite thing about being a Powderpuff Girl is being able to be creative doing the things I love most which is hair and make-up, in such adorable beauty parlour. 

The Powder Room in full swing with wedding Belles a plenty! 

Q: What is your favourite product?

Mary-lou manizer for sure! This is the most gorgeous highlighter, it adds a subtle glow and shimmer and you can even use it all over for a night out. I love to use it to highlight the brow bone. 

Mary-Lou Manizer £16.50 available at The Powder Room 

Q: What is your favourite era for Hair, Make-up and fashion? 

My favourite era for hair and make-up would be 40s and 50s but fashion wise I love bits for all eras. 

1940's inspired make-up / 

1950's inspired hair 

Q: Where did you go to Make-up school?

I studied hair and make-up at the Academy of Freelance Make-up (AOFM) in Soho

Beauty school brushes 

Q: Where is your favourite place to shop? 

                                         I love topshop, cant deny it! 

                                        Topshop Campaign Image (2012)

Q: Who is your style Icon? 

I would have to say that my style icon is Daphne Guinness, I                          absolutely love her! she is amazing! I want her closet!

Daphne Guinness

Q: What is your top tip on being close-up beautiful everyday? 

 A must for make-up would be filling in eyebrows nicely with a small angled brush, and highlighting the brow bone. 

Small angled bush = perfect eyebrows 

Bianca is best know for creating the most amazing waves. She does a mean Veronica: glorious, sexy, glossy waves, which is a firm favourite with our glamourettes.

Trick or Treat

Gosh the witching hour is almost upon us, you had better get gorgeous or gruesome gals! 

 In need of some inspiration? Have no fear we have all the Tricks and Treats you need...

Hair TRICK: Get the gruesome look 

 The Bride of Frankenstein 

Get this haunting yet beautiful look at home with our easy hair tips.

You will need: L'Oreal Setting Spray £9.95 and Bumble and
Bumble white hair powder spray just £12 in our SALE
(available at The Powder Room)

1. Section the hair and back comb it to death! Don't worry it's easy to brush out just start from the bottom and work your way up. 

2. Use a comb and the setting spray to guide the hair into the S-bend and secure with slides to set the hair in place. 

3. From there you can use the White hair powder spray,  if you select the piece of pre-styled hair and put tissues around it so that the area is stenciled and then spray the powder onto the design to create the colour contrast.

Just add lashings of lashes and the stitches to face using a good waterproof eyeliner, you don't want those cocktails to be messing up your look!

                                              Make-up TRICK: Get the gorgeous look 

Catwoman

We know this is the easy option BUT it is a look that works with any glam outfit and 

means you can still be sultry and sexy minus the gore. 

You will need: Paul & Joe eyebrow powder palette £14.50 

(available at The Powder Room) 

1. Focus on the eyebrows to give a feline image, dip the brush into the powder and sweep across the natural brow to fill in the shape. From there decide how big/thick/long you would like the brows and continue going slightly outside of your natural brow but keeping to a similar shape. 

2. Once this is achieved, use the angled brush in a sweeping upwards motion diagonally to create the 'extra hair' in the  image giving a more animalistic look. 

3. To make it more dramatic - go one to two tones darker than your natural hair colour to really make them stand out - you can always use the lighter shade from the palette to mix in and this will give a more 3-dimensional finish.

Don't forget the feline flicks these are essential and totally on trend at the moment. 

We love the backcomb hair hiding the hair band! Keep your ears secure for all that apple bobbing. 

NAIL the look: 

Now no Vampira is complete with out glossy talons! 

Finish your look with: Mavala Black polish & Black Oyster £4.50 each 

(available at The Powder Room) 

1. Apply 2 coats of the black to get the bold gothic look on top of your base coat. 

2. Vamp it up even further simply get a make up sponge and paint the Black Oyster colour onto the sponge, from there - gently pat the the colour onto the end of the nail to get a glistening finish - almost an ombre finish.
