Another season means another Ruby & Oscar campaign, releasing the latest of their fine gemstone jewellery adorned with a mixture of natural and lab grown gemstones set in precious metals in a plethora of striking designs.    This spring collection was all about a pop of colour for the brand, which I think they've nailed with shades of delicious greens in the emerald collection and luxurious purple hues sparkling within the amethysts.   It was really fun to take this spring time inspiration with the team at Ruby & Oscar and translate it into makeup.

Valentines may have come and gone but love is still in the air, awkward love! Shot for Awkward Mag this issue celebrates the whole spectrum of what it means to love. Take it from the editor herself Liz Sheppard:   "Painful. Emotional. Ignore it. Hate it. Stay in. Embrace it. Love it. Cringe-worthy? Expensive flowers. The pressure. Our emotional story for this special edition encompasses all those thoughts. In the words of Poison's 1988 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' (Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song)."   Photographed by Barnaby Fairley and featuruing in house model Lauren...

Complimenting the tones of the blush is a peachy glossy lip with a blurred edge for that dewy soft effect.   Adorned with...
