Blogger Tanya Burr Reveals Her Diary In Pictures Including A New Tutorial
Posted on March 15, 2014 at 10:41 am
At just 24 years old Tanya Burr already has Make-Up Artist, Fashion and Beauty Blogger and YouTube beauty guru on her CV and she’s fast becoming a regular face on the red carpet at parties and premieres. Here at Grazia Daily we’ve been following her work for some time now and have loved the tips she offers up in her weekly feature where she’s revealed how to get the beauty looks of A-list stars from Taylor Swift to Lana Del Rey.
Last week Tanya was in Los Angeles with her vlogger pals, giving us a serious case of holiday envy. She went shopping on Robertson, hung out at a pool in the hills and treated herself to an incredible stack of chocolate pancakes. This week the blogger headed home where it was back to business as usual including shooting videos for Daily Mix TV and Very’s YouTube channel, as well as a makeup tutorial for her own. In fact, we’ve got an exclusive teaser pic from Tanya’s beauty video, which will be published at 10pm tonight. She tweeted earlier today “NEW VIDEO coming in 7 hours on my main channel!! 10pm UK time. It’s a highly requested beauty video :)” Any ideas!

Beauty News: Be A Force Of Nature With Nike’s New A/W Collection
Posted on March 13, 2014 at 4:43 pm
Amazing red trainers Yep, we think so!
As the weather starts to draw in and the end of bikini season is in sight it’s always tempting to hang up your trainers and swap sit-ups for slippers. However, if there’s one thing that is going to keep you motivated and moving in the next few months it’s the new Autumn/Winter range from Nike, Force of Nature…
Drawing inspiration from the world’s leading female athletes such as U.S. soccer star Sydney Leroux, Chinese beach volleyball standouts Zhang Xi and Xue Chen and modern dancer Sofia Boutella, Nike captures the inner strength and beauty of these women and has created a pretty awesome range of sportswear that is both high-tech and pretty easy on the eye, even if we say so ourselves!
We love those leggings!
The stellar range incorporates pretty much everything- from running gear to training to lifestyle apparel and footwear, and even the Nike Free Bionic high intensity training shoe, the compressive Nike Sculpt Tight and the seamless, breathable Nike Pro Elite Knit Short Sleeve Top. On top of that, Nike have introduced seasonally relevant items such as Nike Dri-FIT Wool and new Nike Sportswear silhouettes which bring performance and style to Mother Nature’s grittiest seasons. We want!
However, it’s the way Nike has been able to marry impeccable functionality with the most fashion-forward sports equipment that has really got us Grazia girls going nuts. Yes, whether you’re a fitness fanatic or a first time trier, what certainly unites us girls together with this range is the focus on fashion forward style. From geometric patterned sweat tops to bold lime trainers, Nike has really hit the nail on the head with this season’s upcoming key looks and emphasis on sports-luxe. Some of the pieces have in fact been designed as lifestyle apparel, so whether you decide to wear it down the gym or to meet your mates for a drink, the layered croppies and swoosh leggings are bang on trend.
These gorgeous pieces will actually want to make you get to the gym, we promise
Ultimately, Force of Nature is a celebration of the fashionable sportswomen in all of us (plus, the range is a great excuse to get sporty, even if you’re not. One can always pretend…) So, kick off your slippers and go get kitted up. In the words of Nike, ‘If you have a body, then you are an athlete’, and us athletes gotta work out (and look good, too).

Beyoncé Gets A Pob! Let’s Revisit The Singer’s Greatest Hair Hits

Last week Beyoncé went all Ellen DeGeneres, as she posted pictures of her new pixie crop on her Tumblr page. But Bey’s hair wheel didn’t stop spinning for long, as she has gone from a Mia Farrow crop to a Victoria Beckham circa 2006 pob in just one week.
Bey is in Miami sporting a shoulder-length Karlie cut, which is longer in the front than the back. A mullet in reverse, you could say. She is having a hair flashback, as she has been spotted accessorising her new ‘do with an ‘around the forehead’ headband. A bit 2008 Bey
Beyoncé has stuck with the champagne highlights (for now) and her colourist Rita Hazan spoke to Fashionista about the new hue. She revealed: ‘I highlighted her strands one small area at a time. I was very precise in how I placed the highlights and wanted the color to be soft and sexy. For this, I chose to highlight her hair with champagne and summer blonde tones. By strategically highlighting her whole head in very tiny sections, we achieved the perfect look.’
Rita also added ‘I think she was ready for a big change.’ Well Beyoncé clearly has no problem with change. Perhaps she is on a mission to see how much media coverage one person can get from a haircut The answer would be a LOT.
So which style should Beyoncé go for next See Bey’s hair-volution in the gallery below…

Diane Kruger’s Hairvolution: From Sleek Ponytails To Red-Carpet Curls
Posted on March 9, 2014 at 8:47 pm
Is there a more perfect creature than blonde beauty Diane Kruger We don’t think so, and neither do Chanel, which might explain why the fashion house scooped her up as their latest celebrity ambassador. Currently the face of Chanel’s brand-spanking new Resynchronizing Collection Creams, featuring Le Jour, La Nuit and Le Weekend de Chanel, the 37-year-old German actress and former model has been looking absolutely glowing as of late. Her seriously smooth, youthful complexion has had us swooning in her wake. But alas, it isn’t just Diane’s glow we’re lusting after- the Grazia beauty desk have always admired Miss Kruger’s stunning head of hair, as well as a myriad of amazing red-carpet styles to boot!
Whether it’s a sleek updo, red-carpet perfect curls, beachy waves, a side ponytail or an on-trend centre parting, it’s safe to say that Miss Kruger is quite the hair chameleon. When we first caught sight of the blonde beauty in Troy in 2004, alongside Brad Pitt, we knew this starlet was one to keep an eye on. Ever since, this blonde beauty has not disappointed, appearing in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (again with Brad) in 2009 as well as Unknown, alongside January Jones later in 2011. Diane has also proved herself a true fash-beauty icon- landing herself the role of brand ambassador for Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, Calvin Klein, L’Oreal and now Chanel, too.
Check out our roundup of Diane’s best-ever hair moments. Enjoy!
