Affordable Spring/Summer '14 Must Haves!

In this blog I'm focusing on spring/summer trends, so what we saw on the catwalks back in October time. I've found some really lovely outfits curtoesy of the high street so we can all get on trend spring/summer pieces without an empty bank account!

Sportswear, White, Branding & Backpacks
As we saw from the likes of Balenciaga, Marni, Marc Jacobs and Prada athletic wear is very much everyday wear this spring. Bright colours, racer backs, shorts and trainers everyone is wearing it,and why not?! Its comfortable and stylish what more could we ask for!

White & Pastels: Once again spring has bought around the white trend, but not as many floaty pieces as last year, this year has bought us more tailored fitted styles from blazers to pencil skirts.

Branding: Logo's EVERYWHERE we saw at the likes of Alexander Wang and Louis Vuitton for SS14 very obviously branded garments.
Finally backpacks! This very much links to the sportswear trend convenient and comfortable and now effortlessly stylish a summer must have.

NEW! NARS NARSissist palette, Swatches and review

This is just a quick blog as I thought you would all be interested In NARS's latest & greatest. 

So today at work I got very exited as I got to have a play with the brand new eyeshadow palette by NARS it has 15 eyeshadows some that NARS do at the moment & some new ones. I took a quick picture of all 15 colours swatched onto my arm. Some of the paler shades have a soft cinematic texture so perfect for highlighting & the darker tend to be more matte, definitely a keeper for a smokey eye lover! 

 

Top is flash on, bottom is flash off.

This palette is perfect for anyone, even if you are brand new to makeup this is perfect, the mixture of textures mean that you can create hundreds of different looks and so easily! This palette retails at £50.00 so get to your nearest NARS quick! Because these babies will sell out. 

Happy shopping

Spring/Summer '14 BeautyTrends!

Its that time of year again, everyones makeup bag is in need of a revamp after the party season, but hold on to that loose glitter that you spontaneously bought for your works christmas party and thought you'd never use again because like likes of Chanel and Margiela have kept the trend going! 

 Here are my favourite spring/summer 2014 beauty looks straight from the catwalk. 

First up is a light shimmery sparkly eye, nothing too dark and intense more of a sweep of a light glitter, but we have seen intense with liner by Chanel and bejeweled masks from Margiela at Paris fashion week (below). If you are brave enough 100% go for a strong glitter liner underneath, Urban Decay and Jemma Kidd do some really bright glitter liners. 

But for a more wearable gentle shimmer try a loose pigment my two faves are Illamasqua's Pure pigment eye shadow in Beguile, really beautiful on a paler skin tone. Secondly MAC's Loose pigment pot in Naked, which is brilliant on any skin tone especially a more tanned or darker skin tone, this kind of eye look only needs a bit of mascara and a well defined brow and you are good to go!

MAC Pigment Pot in Naked RRP 17.00GBP (Right).

Number 2 is a bronzed glowing complexion, everyone loves a fresh face and last spring was all about pinks however this year to team with the naked fresh glittery eye look a bronzed glow is essential. Not too heavy base just a light tinted moisturiser or medium coverage foundation, try NARS Sheer Glow or NARS Pure radiant tinted moisturiser, and buff in these perfect bronzers! 

Laguna powder bronzer a best seller for NARS and it's not hard to see why! This semi matte medium brown bronzer is perfect for every skin tone to add a natural bronze radiance. Or if semi matte is just too matte for you try the super intense Laguna liquid illuminator for a super dewy 'fresh off the beach' look. 

Laguna Liquid illuminator RRP 22.00GBP 

Laguna Powder Bronzer RRP 26.00GPB

Last but definitely not least is the coral lip and the lavender lip! Hot bright lips BIG trend this spring/summer! If you are paler or just not a 'bright lip person' the lavender lip is one for you subtle, soft yet eye catching candy lavender lips are a MASSIVE trend this Spring. The iconic summertime coral lip is also back, bright orange lips and a bronzed complexion go hand in hand so next time you're shopping at NARS grab a Laguna with your satin lip pencil & gloss and you're set to go all summer! 

NARS Satin lip pencil in Timanfaya (Coral) RRP 18.00GBP 

NARS Larger than life glosses in Bimini (Coral) and Annees Follies (Lavender) RRP 19.00GBP.
