Nick Verreos on CNN World Report on CNN International talking Royal Wedding!!


CNN International Royal Wedding Dishing...


Just a "head's up" to all viewers of CNN International: I will be on CNN World Report with the lovely hostess-with-the-mostess Anjali Rao. I am scheduled to tape LIVE at 4:45 PM pst, so in Europe that should be at about 1:45 AM! (for those up-all-night Europeans!). But if you are in Asia or Australia, well, it will be daytime-ish! Hopefully they will re-air it on the other World Report Shows scheduled through out the rest of the day for those who are not Early Birds!

Nick Verreos on CNN International

Find out my "Nick Dish" on the upcoming Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. I'll be dishing on the gown, who the gown designer may be, what guests might wear...and those KRAZEE hats!

Yes, all of it, kids--so if you get CNN International and are either at home in Paris or in a hotel room in some fabulous Thai island, make sure and watch me "Royal Dishing" with World Report anchor Anjali Rao (seen above). She'll be live from her Hong Kong CNN Asia Pacific headquarters--and well, I'll be LIVE from the CNN Los Angeles Studios!

And make sure to not miss me again on Friday, when I will be on to discuss what Catherine actually wore and all the guest on the Royal red Carpet!!!

Dinner Date

 Last weekend the bf and I indulged in a lovely meal at one of our favourite London restaurants - Cafe des Amis in Covent Garden. They have a great deal on toptable, so if you are a foodie it's definitely worth checking it out!

I wore a dress from Karen Millen and shoes from Carvella.
I rarely take the time to blow dry my hair as there's so much of it, but since this was a special occasion I took my time in styling it with the Babyliss Big Hair. It's so much easier to use than a regular brush and a hairdryer, and is fantastic for adding volume and movement.
Makeup wise I kept it pretty neutral since my dress was such a vibrant sapphire. For foundation I chose the NARS sheer glow topped off with MAC well dressed blush and NARS laguna bronzer. I used a gold BarryM dazzle dust all over the lid and smudged Urban Decay's 24/7 liner in zero to create a smokey cat eye. I finished the look off with false lashes from buyeyelashes.co.uk.

What are your favourite restaurants in London? I'm always on the look out for new places to visit!

FOTD And Some Products I Have Been Loving Lately

I know I haven't been as active on my blog as usual so apologies for that! I have been involved in an exciting new business venture which is currently taking up a large proportion of my time...all will be revealed in the near future!

I decided to revisit a favourite go-to look a couple of days ago which was originally inspired by Kylie Minogue's makeup in the 'All The Lovers' music video.  I love this eyeshadow combination for a night-time look because the shades really glisten and become so illuminated in darker conditions (if that makes sense).  Sorry the pics are a wee bit hazy, they weren't meant to be like that but my camera decided to act up!

My all time favourite lashes are the Ardell 109 or 110 ones because they are just so easy to apply and pretty much fuss free but I do ALWAYS use Revlon lash glue because it's the most reliable for me.  I personally much prefer false lashes that look as natural as possible and just add that extra bit of volume and fullness.  I'm not into drag queen-esque ones with diamantes, feathers and lace hanging off them!  I have tried some of the Revlon Fantasy Lengths lashes before and was impressed with them as a more affordable option (they are only £4.65 each in Boots).  My faves are the 'Flirty' style as they make your lashes look fluttery without looking fake.  The band on them is very thin and although it comes out of the packaging quite straight in shape, it can easily be manipulated to fit your eye shape.


I love any product that can add super shine to my hair but many shine sprays can leave your hair a bit heavy or even greasy.  I recently started using the Tigi Catwalk Volume Collection Your Highness Weightless Shine Spray...yeah it's a mouthful isn't it!  It claims "the finishing touch for any voluminous style is healthy shine. This practically weightless spray eliminates frizz while adding luminous shine".  Firstly, this stuff smells amazing...I think it reminds me a bit of Armani Code perfume.  It basically smells gorgeous and I'm up for anything that makes my hair smell amazing whilst adding shine.  The spray also has heat protectant qualities so you can use it before you blowdry or after.  It really is weightless and leaves no oily/greasy residue on your hair...


My hair was left feeling fresh, light and really natural.  It left my hair with illuminating shine and the fragrance lasted all night.  It helped to smooth down flyaway hairs too leaving my hair looking really healthy.  Because I have fine hair, I have to be extra careful which products I use so as not to weigh my barnet down but this stuff is now my new favourite shine spray!



I also like the fact that it has a fine spray nozzle so only the slightest mist comes out to delicately coat your hair with shine.  The black, purple and silver packaging is also really pretty!

You can get the 200ml can from FeelUnique here for only £10.35 with free delivery!

Another product that has completely turned my opinion has been Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara which I first heard of on The Yummy Mummy's Beauty Blog and also Tanya Burr's YT channel.  Now I have never worn mascara on my bottom lash line because:

a) I have deep set eyes so I'm prone to dark circles
b) I have never been able to find a mascara that doesn't smudge or flake on lower lashes
c) Normal mascara wands always made it incredibly difficult to apply it without making a mess


It's like you need a completely different formula of mascara to work on your lower lashes and until now, I avoided applying it there altogether.  Because of the drier formula and teeny brush wand of this specially designed Clinique mascara, you can have lightly defined lower lashes without the mess!


I don't like to have heavy mascara on my bottom lashes but sometimes it's nice to define them for night-time looks.  The last thing I want is clumpy, thick lower lashes which would just accentuate my dark circles! So this mascara is perfect for me and the small brush makes the job SO much easier.  I was just left with a clean, smudge free lower lashline with no splodges on my skin. 


I don't know why it has taken this long for a brand to catch on to this idea.  By lightly coating my lower lashes, my eyes actually appear bigger and that's the look I was going for.  You can also get this mascara in Brown for a more subtle daytime look.  I love this Clinique mascara and I love the fact that it has enabled me to try something out that I would otherwise have avoided.  Thumbs up! 


I just had to include this funny pic of little Wolfey.  I gave him a little noodle and he somehow got it stuck on his head! Tt took him forever to firstly realise he had a noodle on his head and then even longer to get it off!  You can actually see the frustration on his face! ha ha.  Damn you noodle!


I was watching Later With Jools Holland as usual last night and I was amazed by this British guy's performance.  He definitely falls into the category of unexpected.  I mean he looks like an indie Prince Harry but he sings like a soulful angel!  It just shows you can never judge a book by it's cover! What's even more impressive is that he is only 20 years old and he performed this song using only his own voice recorded and played back on the spot to create harmonies and beats.  Impressive stuff!
