IMATS London

Who is coming to IMATS??? Have you purchased your tickets yet? What are you waiting for?

IMATS is the place to be January 30th and 31st if you are a make-up artist or remotely into make-up. It will take place at the Alexandra Palace (Very befitting of her royal poshness) in Wood Green, London.

There are some amazing speakers lined up including Oscar and Emmy winner Bill Corso and Tom Savini. The best thing about IMATS, besides the amazing speakers, is the discount! You'd be mad to miss out on up to 40% off original prices on top brands like MAC. I am very excited about Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC). I hold David Klasfield in high esteem and look forward to welcoming him to London. Get your hands on some amazing lip tars. Watch the Queen of Blending show off some lip tars. There is no excuse for missing this.
There will be student competitions, catwalks, basically it's a beauty girl's paradise.

Start booking your annual leaves and sorting out your tickets. HRP will be there live (ISA) with my camcorder. Feel free to bless me with a smile and a hello if you run into me.

Adults 2 days: £55
Adults 1 day: £33

Posh-ville's Holiday Giveaway!

Did you miss the review of Dior's Holiday collection and the Dior crystal Boreale (containing 52 swarovski crystals)? It is both a lip gloss and a pendant and I can't imagine anyone not stealing all the attention while putting it on.

So here's how to get your hand on it. At 8pm GMT on Tuesday the 24th of November, I will tweet a scrambled string of words together with a hint of what those words could be. All you have to do is unscramble and post your answer as a reply to this post and the first person to reply wins.

Good luck ;)

It's gorgeous isn't it?

Stay beautiful...

Fav Fives for November pt 1

1. Krasey beauty's holiday gift info. Make sure to keep an eye on her blog for lots of great ideas on Christmas shopping and gifts.
2. Temptalia's updates on Spring 2010 collections. I know it is holiday season and we are trying to get our heads round X-mas but its a breath of fresh air to see something different and exciting. At least we can look forward to spring already.
3. Make-up your mind by François Nars. What an amazing book! I will be reviewing it very soon. You can see pretty much how every look is created, with very clear before and after pictures and a transparent sheet of what was applied. Awesome.
4. Lauren Luke's bollywood barbie tutorial. This is an easy look that you can rock all year round with any skin tone if you like to experiment with colours. I love the glitter :)
5. Jane Iredale's Just Kissed lip plumper in Milan. You have to try this lip plumper out to understand where I'm coming from. It is 100% natural and lasts for hours (unless I do anything nutty). I love the tingling effect.

The trouble with Her Royal Poshness...

Posh-ville my darling abode of comfort...I missed all of you tres plenty! How is everyone doing? Still enjoying the holidays? Yes I know summer is over. I had a lovely time travelling here and there and now I am back in med school. I don't know where to begin blogging from. Call it a blogger's block if you like. Let's see...
Shall I start with the NARS fall collection? I loved it thoroughly when I went-a-playing. Absolutely beautiful colours...

Keeping you in the loop

Her Royal Poshness has had a lot on her plate recently...

• After jet setting for 3 months in a row, I'm back home in Nigeria. Internet access is a bit tricky over here so pardon my random internet presence :)
• In those three months, I went to the make-up show NYC where I met beauty bloggers and they rock; I went to IMATS LA and I met a few YT gurus and saw a lot of things. I got plenty of inspiration from everything around me in IMATS. Pasadena is a beautiful place and I will be going back next year ISA. I also went to In-cosmetics Munich, that's a show for make up manufacturers and distributors. Its all about innovation and cosmetic ingredients. I loved it and I learned a lot
• I finally made contact with the company that will make my brushes. After searching for a long time, I found 3 companies at once that fit the bill in USA, Hong Kong and China. I'm taking my time about the whole process of creating my own brand because it will have an African exotic twist to it. Don't want my roots to be forgotten.
• I also found a few cosmetic manufacturers but given the nature of what I am trying to create, I need an experienced manufacturer.
• I graduated from Leeds University on the 25th of July, most of my family was present. It was a good day. I am currently Her Royal Poshness (BSc Hons). He he he...
• I am returning to medical school on the 24th of August and ISA I will be done with med school by the end of March. Once I return to med school, you will have even less of me because it is my final year and I want it to be the best. I will endeavour to make some scheduled posts so you always have something to keep you entertained
• I have decided to use Vimeo for my videos. I don't like how people turn a simple make up video into a battlefield on YouTube and since I cannot stop it, I have decided not to create avenue for it.
• How is Vimeo different? For starters not many people are on it. Every video will be embedded in HD on my blog so I don't have a 'channel' per se (no advert banners too!) and I can control who embeds my videos. Most make up videos are over 5 minutes long and on YT, the only way to do that is to be a guru. I don't want to be known as a 'YT guru' I think it takes a lot away from the actual person. I am subscribed to most YT gurus but I only watch a few videos (oops!). I want anyone who subscribes to my blog to do so because they want to, people who actually read the posts and enjoy them. So Vimeo it is.
  
• I have A LOT to giveaway if I can just get round to making posts! There's a set of 17 MAC brushes, some travel brushes, Nars blushes, a GHD styler, some anastasia brow kits etc. There's always something posh to win on posh-ville, so you better stay put. Currently I am giving away a 'Beloved' fragrance here. All my giveaways are international friendly, except when there are shipping restrictions
  
• I hope to gather as much inspiration as I can from home and more jet setting :) If you have any ideas or suggestions, my antennas are alert.

Stay beautiful...

I'm back and kicking

From all my globe-trotting! I missed you all.

IMATS was wonderful I have a lot of product reviews to do. My dad got me a super high definition camcorder so it looks like someone is gonna be making videos (eek!)

I will soon be globe-trotting again. Too many things happening round the world :P
