It's a Trend: Neon

Want to stand out this summer?

Well then the only way to go is Neon.

This trend is everywhere at the moment- from the catwalk to our fav celebs who know that you have to go bold to get noticed.

If you want to go for the look, it's best to do either one pop colour, like a bold lipstick teamed with neutral, grey or black make-up or go all-out clashing.

Don't mix two shades with your face and your clothes as the look will just come off too try-hard and schoolgirl rave.

Whatever way you wear it though remember to have fun with it, as that's what make-up is all about after all!


DO...


GO PINK
A statement pink lipstick looks amazing teamed with
minimal eye make-up or the full-on smokey look
a la Jessie J and Marina & The Diamonds



MIX IT UPClashing makeup was seen on the catwalk at the
Dior Spring/Summer 2011 show. Create the
look with this gorge Mac eyeshadow and
Rimmel's Lyrca Pro Nail Polish in 'Orange Bliss



GET BRIGHT NAILS
A candy-coloured neon nail is all the rage with
celebs such as 90210's Annalyne McCord
and it was a bit hit on the catwalk too.
Get the look with Opi's Damone Roberts 1968 shade



GET BLOCKING


Don't be afraid to stick to one colour.
This orange look was seen at the Lowe
Spring/Summer 2011 show and you
can re-create the look using Mac's Morange
shade lipstick & Models Own duo eyeshaddow
in Zeon Zest



DON'T...



DO A KESHA
The 'tick tock' singer has gone waaaaay
over-the-top with the Neons here.
Just say no.

Emma Stone goes back to her gingery best!

So we all had a little gasp when Emma Stone went from her fiery locks to being a blonde bombshell.

Sure she looked okay, but it just didn't look like her!

However I am happy to report that Emma is back to her gingery best after 6 months on the lighter side of life.

Apparently though, blonde was her natural hair colour. Her colourist Tracy Cunningham told the states 'US Magazine':

"Emma loved going back to her natural blonde, but she feels very comfortable as a redhead and it's the colour she gravitates to. Plus, she wanted an exciting shade for summer!"

Natural or not, it looks GORGEOUS. Make sure you stay in the red Emma!



WANNA COPY HER NEW STYLE...?

If you fancy locks a la Miss Stone and want a fiery new hair shade, the I have just the product for you! L'Oreal Excellence Creme (Rich Auburn 56) is the perfect shade for that red-tinged look.

It contains Pro Keratin which claims to make your hair rich and radiant whilst protecting it too. It also comes with a conditioner that will leave your hair soft and silky.

So what are you waiting for? Go get red!

(Available at most supermarket/drugstores, £5- prices may vary)

Fierce New Trend Alert: Violent Lips

If you loved the latest trend for Minx Nails, then prepare to be DAZZLED by these...

Violent Lips have come up with an ah-maaaaazing new invention- temporary lip tattoos. And they are cute as hell.

Like a fake tattoo, you just press them to your lips and rub with a wet sponge and viola, cute quirky lips will be yours.

There are a number of different designs you can choose from (see below) including polka dot, leopard, rose and checkered and a glittery design should hit their online shelves soon.

You can currently only get them HERE from the Violent Lips website at $15, what's the betting that Primark will have a cheapy version next week huh?!

Until then, get shopping!!





The scrumiest shower gel around...

Everyone loves a lush-smelling shower gel right?

Well if you're looking for a new treat for your bathroom, I have just the product for you...

Imperial Leather have released a set of limited edition luxiourous gels that leave you soft and smelling AMAZING.

My absolute favourite is their passionfruit and rice milk one, that is absolutely to die for!

I know it may sound strange, but it has a sort of chocolate-orange scent to it and will literally make you want to eat it!

Anyway, it's a bargain at just £1.53 @ Tesco, so make sure you stock up before it leaves the shelves!

Happy bathing,
Sam :D xx
