YSL – 2011 Spring Beauty Look

YSL – 2011 Spring Beauty Look

YSL‘s new Spring Collection is illuminated with sheer modern colours and hues featuring Rose Carnation, a fresh new shade directly from Stefano Pilati’s Spring/Summer Collection. Take a look at some of the goodies I got to sample from this collection and what I thought of them… Get the look Bohemian chic, she plays up her innocent look as her ultimate tool of seduction. Complexion is pale, like a modern marquise, her cheeks are slightly flushed with translucent colour as if kissed by the dew of the Paris morning… This cream blush is light and blends beautifully into the skin, leaving you with a glowing, healthy complexion. It comes in three shades (I sampled Cream Blush #2 in Powdery Rose). The other two shades include; 1-Velvety Peach and 3-Silk Praline. Eyes are magnetic, intensified with dark ink blue, chocolate brown and electric turquoise… Gorgeous, shimmering eye shadow colours in Ombre Solo 15-Gold Leaf and Ombre Solo 16-Topaz Blue. Lips are blushed with a sheer flesh pink… My favourite colour of the moment is this YSL pink in 26-Rose Libertin. It’s so pretty, gives lips full colour and makes them look spring fresh! The Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks are available in six…

Summer Nail Trends: Nudes

Summer Nail Trends: Nudes

Nothing looks more summer-cool than nude nails on a beach bronzed hand. As you know, I’m obsessed with nail colours – it’s the quickest, easiest and probably one of the most affordable ways to change your mood in an instant. This summer, I’ll show you six of my favourite nail colour trends to try on your nails. Kicking off today with Nude Nails. Now, there are two kinds of nude; Simple nudes like beige and soft natural skin tones, and then slightly more amped shades with a hint of pink or muddy browns. Take a look Nude as in naked If you want to create skin toned nails, I love these three colours. Three different shades of nude, but each with their own unique style and benefits… Of the three my fave is Tip Top Nail Chic in Cotton Beige. This colour has a slightly more yellow tone and is solid and full – kinda like gel. Yves Rocher in Beige Nacre offers a nice sheer tint (where you can still see the seperation between your nail bed and tips). Inglot 630 is slightly more metallic and offers a nice solid colour in two coats. What I like about this…
