Storybook Cosmetics is slaying over on Instagram once again.

The brand that brought us Game of Thrones makeup and Beauty and the Beast makeup brushes just hinted that the theme of its next collection will be based around the ever-popular Hunger Games trilogy.

The cosmetics company's latest fantasy endeavour will revolve around the books and films that shot Jennifer Lawrence to fame as Katniss.

While no details have been officially released yet, we cant help but fantasise about the potential for this collection.

A Districts eye shadow palette perhaps, with 13 shades representing each district? Or a set of makeup brushes shaped like arrows.

The possibilities are endless, may the odds of this makeup collection arriving soon be ever in our favour.

While the film game in 2015 was strong, there was also some seriously stunning movie posters to match.

Seriously, we would hang half of these on our wall as art!

So whether you even like the film or not, check out our favourite movie posters of 2015:

7) The Martian

Who could say no to that FACE though.

6) The Lobster

It's always impressive when a poster says a lot about a film, but doesn't give the game away.

We love the vintage feel to this one.

5) Jurassic World

This poster impressively picks up on a strong theme in the film, that humanity cannot overpower nature.

But apart from that, this is just an awesome visual.

4) Crimson Peak

Artsy and creepy – this poster says everything you want to know about the film.

And it kind of freaks us out.

3) It Follows

A spine-tingling film that pays homage to old horror classics brings a welcome retro feel to it's poster.

And with that hook line, this is more than enough to get you into the cinema.

2) Magic Mike XXL

We know what we want from these films and this poster is not afraid to give it to us.

Definitely one for the ladies.

1) The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

Perhaps the most anticipated movie of 2015 really delivered an amazing visual for it's poster.

This image of Katniss sitting on Lord Snow's throne still gives us chills.

It’s finally happened! Turns out Jen and Liam ARE officially a couple

Dec 4, 2015

Hunger Games fan? Prepare to get VERY excited, because the franchise's greatest will-they-won't they love story has finally become a reality.

Yes, Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth are dating, and they're not shy about it either.

The superstar duo were spotted out for dinner at The Waverley Inn in New York, with eyewitnesses saying there was PDA-aplenty.

"Liam had his arm around Jen for most of their meal and she was resting her head against his shoulder," Heat magazine reports.

"They looked very cosy and were touching the entire time."

We. Cannot. Deal.

Adding to the serendipitous mood of it all was the fact that Jen and Liam were joined for dinner by their co-star Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta in the Hunger Games series.

Josh was said to be in "good spirits" according to other diners – meaning he didn't mind playing third wheel for the evening.

It's unclear when exactly Jen and Liam's romance kicked off, but the pair have not been linked to anyone else for the last six months at least.

Prior to hooking up with Liam, Jen was dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, but he too has moved on, with actress Annabelle Wallis.

As for Liam, he has been notably single since ending his engagement with Miley Cyrus in 2013, aside from a brief romance with actress Maika Monroe.

It's hard to say whether Jennifer and Liam are in it for the long haul, but seeing as this romance has been four years in the making, we certainly hope so.

Jennifer Lawrence is already an accomplished actress and screenwriter; but now J Law is set to become a director too.

The Hunger Games actress has officially signed up to her first directing project, and it looks like it's going to be a good one.

She told Entertainment Weekly, "It's based on an article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong.

"It's funny, I've wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn't have been ready. Now I actually feel ready."

She also told the EW that the aspiration has been a secret of hers for a long time.

"I've wanted to direct as long as I've wanted to act. I just don't talk about it because I'd rather just do it."

J Law, Adele and Emma Stone are BFFs and we’re totally OBSESSED

Have you seen a cooler group of friends? We know Taylor Swift and her girl gang are super slick, but we didn't realise these three beauties were BFFs… and now, we're kinda in love.

Adele, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone were spotted going for a Mexican dinner last night, and we're sure there was plenty of reason to celebrate between the three of them.

The women are not only known for their talents, but their awesome sense of humour too, so we're sure their night was pretty fun.

The trio chose an upscale Mexican restaurant, Cosme, for their night out after Adele had finished up her appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

The two stylish actress arrived at the restaurant first and waited for the 25-year-old singer to head over after her television appearance.

It was clear that the ladies were in great moods when they left to restaurant too, as they were seen giggling in their car (which we're sure was down to a margarita or two).

Adele and Jennifer in particular, have reason for celebration with Jennifer's Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 absolutely dominating the box office and Adele's album, 25, setting high sales records.

We just have one question though, how can we get into their crew?

LISTEN: Jennifer Lawrence SINGS on the new Hunger Games track

Jennifer Lawrence is a woman of wonders. Not only is she crazy good at acting, she is also a great singer too.

J-Law sang in the last instalment for Mocking Jay, and after much persuasion – thanks to film director, Francis Lawrence – the actress has recorded another track for the movie franchise.

Baauer, the guy behind the Harlem Shake did an official remix version of the song, and it is so good.

The lullaby Deep in Meadow now becomes a dance-ready track with Jen's vocals and a cool techno beat. Enjoy:

J-Law reveals the NASTY truth about Liam and his brothers

Nov 22, 2015

by Amber Saunders

We all know by now that Jennifer Lawrence is the most unpredictable person when it comes to interviews. Just last week she made one reporter's interview a living hell.

But this week she threw some serious shade at her co-star Liam Hemsworth and his two brothers Chris and Luke.

We might all think that Liam is a cuddly, cute teddy bear. But when J Law was asked why she always calls him a "bear", a teddy is not the first thing that pops into her mind.

"He's an animal! His whole family, they're real animals. It's the craziest family I've been around in my life. The way that they communicate is so physical and crazy," she admitted.

After an very passionate impression of the brothers' wild antics, the Hunger Games actress concluded by repeating, "They're disgusting. They're real bears; they're animals!"

To see what we mean, watch the video below:

Ouch! JLaw’s love of sleeping has caused some ridiculous injuries

Nov 21, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Jennifer Lawrence has become one of the biggest film stars in the world. While she is one of the most respected young actors in the business.

Naturally, that means she has been absolutely everywhere doing promotion for her latest release.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 actress told Conan O’Brien in an interview that as a result she is in serious need of sleep.

So much so, that when she finally got the chance to get some shut eye she managed to do herself an injury. While expressing her excitement over finally being able to get some serious shut-eye on a press tour she managed to dislocate her toe.

“It’s exhausting. They pushed this show pony too far,” the 25-year old explained.

“We’ve been everywhere.” After traveling around the world to promote the film, JLaw said it was impossible to sleep in hotels because of the time differences.

“This was my first night of sleep … the best night of sleep the whole tour I got was on the plane,” the Oscar-winning actress said while explaining an iPhone video of her bouncing like crazy on a plane bed.

“It was about 12 hours and I actually dislocated my toe. I dislocated my toe by hitting my own foot.”

Lawrence, who now has a purple toe, exclaimed: “I was psyched!”

We do love a good nap ourselves, but we don’t recall a time where we actually caused ourselves bodily harm in the name of a decent snooze.

Ooops! J-Law narrowly avoids a BOOB-related dress malfunction

The hazards of wearing a plunge neck!

Jennifer Lawrence looked spectacular in a plum silk gown at the Berlin premiere of Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 on Wednesday, but she almost showed off a bit too much skin for the cameras.

The actress, who was dressed in Dior Haute Couture, was trying to pin a white rose on Donald Sutherland's lapel when she dropped it on the ground.

Bending down, Jennifer realised at just the last second that her dress was gaping open. Luckily she managed to cover her chest with her hand – but the panic on her face says it all, really:

Luckily the actress was sufficiently recovered from her shock by the time last night's London premiere rolled around – indeed, she went for an even more daring gown.

The black and red gown, again by Dior Haute Couture, was held together at the sides by nothing more than two gold chains.

J-Law is no stranger to on-camera embarrassments, of course.

Back in 2013 she tripped up a set of stairs while walking onstage to receive her Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook.

And exactly a year later, she had another tumble – this time while walking onto the Oscars red carpet.

Needless to say, Jen declined to attend this year's Academy Awards…

WOW! An oh-so streamlined J-Law is rocking a TOTALLY different look

Nov 4, 2015

by Amber Saunders

She regularly shuns Hollywood stereotypes – and says she'd never diet for a movie role.

But the intense on-set demands of The Hunger Games means that Jennifer Lawrence is currently rocking a super-streamlined look.

In Berlin yesterday as part of a promotional tour for Mockingjay Part 2, the 25-year-old actress was looking gorgeous in a pretty patterned tea-dress teamed with €1,100 Christian Louboutin ankle boots.

Jen is also still sporting platinum blonde locks – cut short into a choppy bob style.

Earlier this year, Ms Lawrence said that the constant pressure to look good and remain super-slim for movies really only applies to those actors who are desperate for parts, or to those who are up-and-coming in the industry.

"It’s more about the struggle for actors and actresses who have not made it to a certain place," she said. "There’s a lot of pressure."

Jennifer also quoted a friend who had told her: "All of the main movie stars aren’t very underweight," – a statement to which she replied: "Yeah, because once you get to a certain place, people will hire you.

"They just want you to be in the movie, so they don’t care."
