More gorgeous imagery.  How I'd love to see a makeup tutorial on that! #amazing.

The much anticipated first book by renowned British makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge arrived at my doorstep yesterday!  I pre-ordered my copy from Book Depository online the day before it was released on the 13th October.  It was shipped on the 15th and arrived on the 23rd with free shipping to Australia. :)  It was AU$30.95 at the time I purchased it.  Unfortunately, it's currently out of stock there. :(  However, you can try getting notified for when it is restocked, or click here for other places to find it.  I've only just done a quick flick through it and so far, I'm loving all the gorgeous photography and excited by the general content of the book which is themed around the history of makeup from ancient times through to the modern era.  There's also a section on various glamorous makeup icons like Audrey Hepburn through to Madonna that talks about their makeup.  This is a beauty blogger's / lover's must-have / dream book.  I can't wait to get into it!  Perfect timing, too for a weekend read. ^_^

For more on it: watch Lisa's book intro / Lisa's incredibly creative film montage for the book / Lisa's Marie Antoinette Makeup Tutorial.

Thanks for looking. :)

Have an awesome weekend! ^_^ xo
