Petrol Head...

...A phrase which to be honest i haven't heard that often, its i a name for a car enthusiast !
Aha ! Tonight the  (recently opened) charming  & warm Double RL store on Mount Street, neighbours to Christian Loubiton and my other dear love Marc Jacobs had an evening event hosted Gregor Fisken of  Fiskens specialist in historic automobiles (cue dream bubble ... oooh if i were a billionaire what beautiful vintage cars i'd purchase *swoon* ) supported fashion photographer Nick Clements of Men's file, a petrol head him self (through a bit of blogger research you'll find his a couple of sweet him rides himself):


He had a selection photographs which capture the essences and wonder of Fisken's vintage vehicles encapsulated in a setting which epitomised 1940's Levi blue collar work men and the era so perfectly. All shot on the RRL ranch ( Ralph Lauren own phenomenal ranch). Shot taken at various angles which drew in you the the by gone era.

I took pictures a couple of their classic vehicles, that were sitting outside the boutique, my favourite was the 1928 Bentley ....

My big Babay 1928 Bentley *swoon*

Vintage 1965.... i wouldn't say no

Doh!

If ya'll are interested in finding out more about the RubiRox Accessories such as the phone cover  posted on Object of Desire 2 ; this particular style is available only for the iphone 4/4s .. . but stay tuned for more postings! here is the correct email  for more info!! rubinubi@gmail.com.

I promised all you beautiful lot via Twitter (*plug* rubinubi.) more info on my finds just before Chrimbo... Benefits Mascara They're Real.



HONESTLY this is a great Mascara, for £18.50 this price just under cuts luxury mascaras such as YSL & Dior which start from £21.. every penny counts ! 

No fuss mascara, Benefits They're Real does add va va voom, but significantly lengthens. You'll find quite good reviews across the internet and is practically sold out everyewhere ... . Benefit really thought about the wand brush when creating this, as a result utilise's every space on the wand! With horizontal, vertical, short and long bristles, these get into every nook and cranny i.e., making the mascara excellent for both the top and bottom lash and for extra definition. Similar to Model One Mascara by Danni Monogue  (oooh and i've recently found out loreal have a similar version for the fraction of the price! needs more investigation :s ) the more you layer the longer and thicker the lash! Before you know it people will be asking you whether you have falsies on ( hence the name of the product hehe)  ;) 

A bit of a downer is the removal, do have to hand a good eye make up remover or Johnson baby oil !

I'm using my fav Nude oil cleanser morning and evening then wiping the raccoon excess off with on my Clarins Cream cleanser using cotton wool pads... i don't actually have eye make up remover, I haven't bought eye make remover in more than a year ! i digress.. my Nude Oil Cleanser does the job generally.

Other RubiNubi Recommended Mascara's:

YSL false lash effect £23.00 - this is one of my staples 


Best Budget Mascara ! 
Maybelline's Great Lash £4.99: 




Model One Mascara is good , BUT price @ £35 is a bit steep and does take a little bit of time to do if you want that real longer lash.

Ciao for now :0)
