Total recall

Tuesday, July 15, 2008
Ever walked past someone in the street and the heady aroma of their fragrance made you think of a holiday; your youth; an ex maybe? Scents conjure memories; so next time you’ve got a special event why not select a new or never-before-worn product or perfume and make it intrinsic to the occasion? Afterwards, spritz or lather it on once in a while: it will transport you back immediately.

SamCorrey - I’ve been a make-up artist for the better part of a decade now: working in the fashion industry, on television commercials, music video clips and as a beauty advisor. I'll be taking this opportunity to comment on beauty in a conventional sense but also discuss how it can be found in the everyday and the seemingly mudane.
