Nivea's lip balm with a pink tint. It only seems to be sold in the US, so I bulk buy. You can use it on lips, cheeks, eyes…
DREAM LEADING MAN?
Robert de Niro. ! And of the young guns, Michael Fassbender. Who doesn't want an Irish German in their life?
WHO IS YOUR DRESS BVY?
It's Dolce & Gabbana. I'm a Latina at heart [Annabelle grew up in Portugal], so I like brands that give me structure, but exude sexiness and femininity.
WHAT DO YOU WEAR OFF DUTY? Whistles, Rag & Bone, Cos…with Topshop thrown in.
YOUR STYLE ICON?
Grace Coddington of American Vogue has a great vision of fashion – and I love all that hair.

Actress Lily James. Dress, Dolce & Gabbana. jewellery, AspreyLily JamesLily wore Dolce & Gabbana and £62,000 of Asprey diamonds to this, her first ever BAFTAs. 'You're kidding? I do love rings on every finger – but usually they're the type that leave your fingers green.' She is currently filming Downton Abbey, in which she plays rebellious cou! sin Rose,! who we'll be seeing much more of in series four. But don't be fooled by Rose's blonde wig – this brunette is one to watch.
'Mascara is a must. On a day-to-day basis I wear little else'FAVOURITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS?
Lancôme mascara is a must – on a day-to-day basis I wear little else. Recently I've been hooked on Sisley face creams – they are pricey, but luckily a make-up artist I worked with gave me some for free. I also love Nude facial oils. I'm a complete sucker for beauty products, for cleansing, toning and moisturising. And face masks.
FIRST MAKE-UP MEMORY?
Buying Maybelline concealer, which I layered on far too thick. I had bad skin so I thought it was a necessity. And I'd apply chunky, cloggy mascara, too – such a bad look.
WHAT'S IN YOUR CLUTCH BAG?
A mobile phone. A lipstick. And a tiny bottle of Chloé perfume. I've worn it since I was little and I take it everywhere with me.
YOUR STYLE ICON?
Alexa Chung – I like her relaxed effortlessness. That's probably because I veer towards a more casual chic look myself. In fact, I'm adding in the chic bit – I kind of just do casual.
HOTTEST BAFTA STAR?
I love Jennifer Lawrence. She is such good news in the film industry – a real girl who is so talented and young.
WHAT COULDN'T YOU LIVE WITHOUT?
My two brothers – they are unbelievably supportive. My elder brother came to see my last play five times!
ALL-TIME FAVOURITE FILM?
To be cool, Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves – Emily Watson gives the best female performance I've ever seen. To be honest, The Holiday – I lov! e a great! romcom.Get the lookSKIN Eclat Miracle and Teint Miracle Foundation; BAFTA Limited Edition Blush Subtil in Rose Sable; Star Bronzer in 01 for contouring.

Next up is a remake of 1970s sci-fi movie The Return of Captain Nemo.
'I'm more Jessica Rabbit, really'FAVOURITE BEAUTY LOOK?
Nothing beats smoky eyes and nude lips. I love getting my make-up done and having the excuse to try new, expensive products. Otherwise, I just tend to use whatever is floating around the house.
TOP BEAUTY TIP?
Don't smoke; wear light moisturisers and Lancôme mascara, then keep everything natural. I like individuality – people looking like themselves, not made up to be something they're not.
BEST THING ABOUT THE BAFTAS?
Stephen Fry – he's a British institution.
HOTTEST BAFTA STAR?
Sally Field. I so admire the ! way she h! olds her own on the red carpet, and the career choices she's made – she has always sought out more interesting roles.
FAVOURITE FILMS OF ALL TIME?
To Kill A Mockingbird and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Both takes on classic books that I loved as a child.
YOUR STYLE ICONS?
Cate Blanchett and Katharine Hepburn. I say that, but they don't have bodies that are anything like mine so it's not a style I could ever emulate. I'm more Jessica Rabbit, really.
IN YOUR CLUTCH BAG?
Tickets, phone, lipstick, a cash card and peculiarly a wad of £5 notes. Well, there could be a raffle – win a date with Bradley Cooper… You never know.Get the Look

'Jack The Giant Slayer' tops box office
Fantasy films have traditionally been a real draw to families as the latest film in the line opened atop the North America box office over the weekend.
A scene from the film "Jack The Giant Slayer".
"Jack The Giant Slayer," a fantasy and adventure film from Warner Bros./New Line, debuted at 28 million U.S. dollars in 3,535 locations, which is basically in line with the pre-release anticipation from executives. The revenue is 7 percent softer than "John Carter" (30.18 million dollars) which hit the screen this time last year. Considering that the fantasy film is made at 195 million dollars, this is not a very good sign for the film to made the ends meet. However, the PG-13 rated film is regarded as a draw to family audiences, and it will probably pick up the steam in the weeks to come.
Based on a pair of popular fairy tales, "Jack the Giant Killer" and "Jack and the Beanstalk," the "X-Men" and "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer helmed flick follows a young farmer who leads the expedition to rescue a princess from a race of giants after inadvertently opening a gateway to their world. This is a slightly male-skewing film, as 55 percent of the audiences was men and 56 percent over 25 years old. Moviegoers who have seen it assigned a "B+" CinemaScore to it.
Released in both 2-D and 3-D, the film also rolled up 3.37 million dollars from 317 IMAX venues, or 12 percent of the total Friday-Sunday gross.
"Identity Thief," the Universal R-rated comedy which has been in theaters for 4th week, slipped to second place, raking in 9.7 million dollars in ticket sales. The Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy starrer is on pace to gross 107.4 million dollars.
A pair of debuting films occupied the third and fourth slots: " 21 And Over" with 9 million dollars in estimated sales, and "The Last Exorcism Part II" with 8 million dollars in receipts. The movies received "B" and "C-" CinemaScore ratings from moviegoers, respectively.
Rounding out the top 10 most-popular movies in North America this weekend were "Snitch" (7.7 million dollars), "Escape From Planet Earth" (6.7 million), "Safe Haven" (6.3 million), "Silver Linings Playbook" (5.9 million), "A Good Day To Die Hard" (4.5 million), and "Dark Skies" (3.6 million). - Anna Friel

Rita Ora was amused when her friend Snoop Lion was too scared to get on an elephant in Thailand.
The 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper was in the country to film a music video with Rita Ora and his collaborator was amused when he refused to mount the huge mammal.
Rita said: ''We've done a song for his new album; it's called 'Torn Apart'. We shot the video in Thailand, went on a few elephants, looked around, had great Pad Thai.
''He didn't get on any elephants - he was too scared! But I did.''
Rita described her collaboration with Snoop, which will feature on the rapper's reggae album 'Reincarnation', as ''raw''.
She explained: ''It's reggae-bass, but it's also produced by Diplo, so it's got that current sound to it. It's really raw.''
The 'R.I.P.' hitmaker recently revealed that she and the 41-year-old musician - who was previously known as Snoop Dogg - were left stranded on a remote beach in Thailand during their video shoot.
She said: ''The boat couldn't come to the shore and we couldn't get off the island.
''Everyone had left except me, Snoop, my sister, the camera guy and the lighting guy. I was like, 'Are we ever going to get off alive?' We had to walk all the way to the boat because the tide had gone out and the boat couldn't get to the shore.
''We had to wade through the sea to the boat. I don't know what was touching my toes! Slithery things, stones. I was holding Snoop's hand and he was squeezing it so tight I lost all circulation. It was hilarious.'' - Residency debut of 'Cee Lo Green is LOBERACE' in Las...

Old school: The pair performed to a Nat King Cole songHe continued: 'You trusted him and he trusted you. Was beautiful from beginning to the end. Seamless.'Defending his 9 when the other judges gave 10, Jason said: 'Nine is really good. You were the best you've ever seen with a male celebrity in the air. You looked great tonight.'The only thing was the back leg is the extended leg, I would have like to see it just a little bit higher. I'm a bit picky, but is the semi-finals people.'
Excited: Matt and Brianne celebrate after getting their high scoreMatt and Brianne's second routine was back on the ice and was sexy number to Michael Jackson's '80s classic Bad.Jason ended up giving his first 10 of the series: 'Matt, we really needed that tonight.

Wowing the judges: Matt's second routine was to Michael Jackson's BadHowever, the two skaters on the panel Karen and Robin gave them 9.5 each because of the hesitati! on on one! of his lifts.Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle's non-flying performance was given a particularly harsh critique by Jason, who described her as 'dead behind the eyes'.She and partner Dan Whiston performed to Jessie J's Domino, ending up with their highest score ever 33.5.However, Jason said something was still lacking: 'You are technically so brilliant with what you can do. I've been asking for you to dig down and give me something that connects with you.

It's like you're dead behind the eyes.'Luke Campbell's first performance of the night was his flying routine with partner Jenna Smith to James Vincent McMorrow's Higher Love.The Olympic boxer ended up with a respectable score of 30.5 - although Jason only gave a 6.5.Robin said: 'A very nice clean routine. It was all contained. I wanted you to show us you were enjoying it. I could see that little bit of trepidation in your face.
Let's fly: Luke Campbell's first performance of the night with partner Jenna Smith was to James Vincent McMorrow's Higher LoveJason was rather harsh: 'I don't like watching boys fly. Unfortunately you don't exude or express anything in the air. You were devoid of any emotion of th! e piece o! r your partner. It was very lacklustre.'However, their second performance was to Westlife ballad What About Now?, giving them their best score so far with 31.5.Ashley told him: 'There were some difficult and different moves. I wanna see even more from you.'Gareth Thomas and Robin Johnstone performed a non-flying routine to Coldplay's La Vida, ending up with a total score of 33.5.Karen told him: 'I was pleased with that. I was concerned a bit at the beginning about your balance. Later in the routine, you got it back.'
Not well: Gareth Thomas and partner Robin Johnstone only performed once as he struggled with severe motion sicknessHowever, Jason noticed that Gareth wasn't feeling 100 per cent and it had impacted on his routine: ' Tonight you're not on your A-game. You're not the Gareth we're used to see. The lifts were a little bit clunky.'Philip said Gareth had been feeling poorly that day as the rugby star nodded, looking visibly unwell before rushing off stage.Jane admitted he had been 'really disorientated' during rehearsals earlier that day.However, after consultations with the medics, it was decided Gareth wouldn't be performing his flying routine, meaning he and Robin were at the bottom of the leaderboard with only 33.5.Dancing On Ice semi-final leaderboard

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dennis Rodman, the former NBA star known more for his body piercings and tattoos than international diplomacy skills, said on Sunday he returned from North Korea with a message from its leader Kim Jong-un for President Barack Obama - "call me."
Rodman appeared on ABC's "This Week" program a few days after an unlikely meeting with Kim in the North Korea capital Pyongyang, where Rodman was working on a documentary about basketball.
With the international community concerned about North Korea's nuclear weapons program and continued belligerence, Kim and Rodman attended a game, where they were seen laughing and talking, and had dinner together.
"He wants Obama to do one thing - call him," Rodman said. "He said, 'If you can, Dennis - I don't want (to) do war. I don't want to do war.' He said that to me."
Rodman said he told Kim, who followed his father and grandfather as leader of the totalitarian nation in December 2011, that his love of basketball could serve as a foundation of a relationship with the U.S. president, who also is a basketball fan and plays regularly.
"(Kim) loves basketball. And I said the same thing. I said, 'Obama loves basketball.' Let's start there," Rodman said.
The U.S. government has disavowed any connection with Rodman's trip.
Last week, Rodman spoke warmly of Kim, 30, and described him as "an awesome kid."
On "This Week," he defended his new friendship with a man considered a violator of human rights and a threat to world peace by saying, "I'm not apologizing for him. You know, he's a good guy to me. Guess what? He's my friend. I don't condone what he does ... (but) as a person to person - he's my friend."
When pressed on North Korea's human rights record, Rodman said, "But as far as what he does, you deal with it."
Rodman, appearing in the interview wearing a jacket covered with images of U.S. dollars, a baseball cap and big sunglasses, dismissed Kim's comments about wanting to destroy the United States as rhetoric stemming from his father.
He called him a strong and "very humble" man who "loves power, he loves control."
Rodman said he intends to return to North Korea someday.
Rodman played on five NBA championship teams during his basketball career, which ran from 1986 to 2000. He played for five teams and in his peak years he was the league's top rebounder and one of its best defenders. He was chosen for the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
Rodman's basketball skills were matched by his flamboyance - party lifestyle, multi-colored hair, blankets of tattoos, piercings in his ears, nose, lips and eyebrows and showing up in a wedding gown, complete with veil, to promote his autobiography.

'The X Factor' winner James Arthur flirted with a fan on Twitter and invited her round for sex after telling her to buy her own wine on the way.
James Arthur told a fan to buy her own wine and take a taxi to his flat for sex.
The singer - who won the last series of 'The X Factor' - is said to have followed Danielle Withey on Twitter before inviting her round after they exchanged racy messages.
The 18-year-old beauty therapist has told The Sun newspaper how James, 25, reportedly served her wine in a mug and even made love without taking off his socks and jumper.
She said: ''He doesn't really know how to treat a girl. I'm still trying to get my head around it all.''
The 'Impossible' hitmaker is even said to have stopped their love-making to watch former 'X Factor' contestant Rylan Clark in the final of 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
Danielle added: ''It was very, very odd. He just stopped, stood up and turned on the telly. He said, 'I've just got to see if Rylan wins.'
''Rylan did win of course, and James was over the moon. He was shouting at the telly.
''He kept his grey socks on during the whole thing which I thought was odd.''

One Direction's Liam Payne could quit the band to save his relationship with Danielle Peazer as he becomes increasingly agitated with the group's hectic touring schedule.
Liam Payne could quit One Direction to stay with his girlfriend.
The 19-year-old heart throb ''can't stand'' being separated from dancer-and-model Danielle Peazer and admitted he would ditch the boy band to save their relationship.
He said: ''I can't stand being away from Danielle. If it's between the band and her, I'll choose her.''
According to the Daily Star newspaper, Liam wanted to bring his girlfriend with him as the quintet embark on a four-month stint in the US, but record label bosses want One Direction to work as a team without any distractions.
A source told the publication the singer gets homesick, and his relationship with Danielle is the deal-breaker - particularly after their original split in September because of his band commitments.
The insider said: ''They split up in the first place because they were apart for so long when he was on tour.
''So Liam is terrified the same problems will creep in when the real hard slog of touring the world starts again soon.
''He wants Danielle with him but the other lads and the record company think they should be concentrating on work.''
They added Liam relies on Danielle for ''emotional support'', preferring stability to the partying fame game.
The source continued: ''Since getting back together with Danielle at the end of last year they have grown much closer and really bonded. Liam hates being away from her.
''He relies on her for so much emotional support. Some of the other lads in the group are the total opposite - they just want to party and chat up girls.''
The star reportedly questions whether the band is right for him, with the rest of the group worrying he'll ''throw the band into chaos'' by leaving.
The insider revealed: ''Liam feels he doesn't get the same status and respect as the big stars like Harry [Styles] and Niall [Horan] and sometimes even questions why he's in the band at all.
''The rest of the lads are freaking out that one day he'll have had enough and just walk out. That would throw the whole band into chaos.''
One Direction's Liam Payne could quit the band to save his relationship with Danielle Peazer as he becomes increasingly agitated with the group's hectic touring schedule.
The 19-year-old heart throb ''can't stand'' being separated from dancer-and-model Danielle Peazer and admitted he would ditch the boy band to save their relationship.
He said: ''I can't stand being away from Danielle. If it's between the band and her, I'll choose her.''
According to the Daily Star newspaper, Liam wanted to bring his girlfriend with him as the quintet embark on a four-month stint in the US, but record label bosses want One Direction to work as a team without any distractions.
A source told the publication the singer gets homesick, and his relationship with Danielle is the deal-breaker - particularly after their original split in September because of his band commitments.
The insider said: ''They split up in the first place because they were apart for so long when he was on tour.
''So Liam is terrified the same problems will creep in when the real hard slog of touring the world starts again soon.
''He wants Danielle with him but the other lads and the record company think they should be concentrating on work.''
They added Liam relies on Danielle for ''emotional support'', preferring stability to the partying fame game.
The source continued: ''Since getting back together with Danielle at the end of last year they have grown much closer and really bonded. Liam hates being away from her.

Chris Brown's love with Rihanna is for ''life''.
The 23-year-old star - who is still on probation for assaulting the singer in 2009 - said their reconciled relationship was ''meant to be'' as they look towards a future together.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: ''I love her and she loves me. That is what it comes down to.
''Our love is for life. We are meant to be together.''
Chris claimed they were stronger than ever, and earlier in the week insisted beating the 'Stay' hitmaker was his biggest regret.
He admitted criticism from fans and the public about their reunion used to ''bother'' him, but now he just wants the couple to be able to carry on with their lives.
The 'Don't Wake Me Up' rapper said: ''People criticise both of us but they don't know what we have.
''They don't know me. It used to bother me but it doesn't now. We have the right to make our own lives just how we want.''

James McAvoy thinks he has a ''wonky face''.
The 'Welcome to the Punch' actor doesn't believe he is conventionally good looking and would never describe himself as a heartthrob.
He said: ''I certainly don't feel like a heartthrob. I don't walk around going, 'Thank God I'm hot.' For every one person who thinks I am alright looking, you know there are 20 more saying, 'Why him? He's f***ing weird looking. He's got a wonky face! He's so pasty!''
The 33-year-old actor - who has son Brendan, two, with wife Anne-Marie Duff - gets really nervous and paranoid when it comes to filming sex scenes.
He added to Britain's Marie Claire magazine: ''I mean, sex is a nightmare in real life until you meet the person you click with. When you're pretending multiply that anxiety by a thousand.
''You wake up in the morning and you're like, 'Oh no, I've got a spot on my bum,' or you're in the middle of a scene and you're like, 'Oh no, is my breath weird?' or, 'Oh, no. She's nice but does she think I'm trying to cop a feel? But I'm really not, I'm just trying to do my job.''
