A girly gossip with Mischa Barton

When we heard Mischa Barton was in town to promote the new range of Herbal Essence's hair care, we couldn't resist popping into her hotel suite for a wee girly chat about lipstick, eyeliner, her favourite Malibu beauty tips and just how many headbands she actually does own. Turns out Mischa – looking ultra-cool in Charlotte Olympia heels, leather trousers and a military-style Temperley jacket – was in quite the confessional mood. So after we'd clocked her fashion credentials (she turned up to the P&G Beauty Awards later on in a gorgeous Alberta Ferretti S/S '09 dress), we got down to the serious business of gossiping. Check out the video to find out Mischa's must-have products, her favourite place to hang out in London and just who she had posters of on her bedroom wall as a teenager.
