Awards season has begun and I was excited to see who was wearing what on the red carpet!  My favourite Mexicana Salma Hayek, stunned on the with this gorgeous midnight  blue ensemble!!  If this is what your 40s are like, sign me up!!

  • Shades are a poetic blend of pinks, blues and neutrals
  • Lips, cheeks and nails look softly romantic, highlighted in subtle pinks
