The "Light" Trend || Spring/Summer 2014

From light jeans to white shoes, light muted colours have been very on trend for this summer. Greys, whites, blues you name it. Personally I don't mind this trend because my wardrobe lacks much colour. Now, I am not saying that you have to dress on trend, much of the time I don't. But the "Trends" I am talking about are just observations. This photo is of Jason Wu's Spring/Summer line up for New York Fashion Week 2014.

I am bringing up these particular trends because they are the ones I have seen people wearing on the street as well as the runway. A lot of the time some trends that you see during fashion week aren't brought into everyday life because they aren't that realistic. But these ones are, and I have to say I quite enjoy them. These next pictures are of Alexander Wang's Spring/Summer 2014 Collection. I must say there are a couple of pieces I wouldn't mind having myself from either of their collections.

Even with makeup this Spring/Summer season has been weightless. And by that I mean simple and delicate. Models makeup on the runway have been lighter and airier than past years. With light washes on the lids and lighter colours on the lips and less bold than past years (not that I don't love a bold lip), not that they weren't seen, they were, but much of the majority at NYFW was the barely there look. Highlighters, brows and pastels seem to be very common this time round.

Along with some gold brows by Dior, of course.

I am definitely going to try to pull off some of these looks myself, maybe not the gold brows (maybe one day). So I hope you have enjoyed this different kind of post. I want to do more along the same lines, so let me know what you think.

I'll see you soon.

Current Most Used #1

So I thought, instead of writing about my 'Monthly Favourites' why not write about my current ones. You might be confused about how they are different, but they are. Not that I will never write a monthly favourites, but I feel like I don't get enough new things to write about every month, and I don't want to constantly repeat myself. So, why not write whenever I felt that I had been favouring particular items within my collection, make sense?

First off lets start with eyeshadows. The palette is the Nars Fairy's Kiss Palette which yes is limited edition, I know. But the shade that I want to talk about it available in Nars' regular collection also. It is the one in the middle of the top row called Kalahari. Its a bronzy shimmery brown, and I know I'm pretty great at descriptions. Basically it is a beautiful easy to wear colour that you can just brush over your lids and it'll look good.

This second colour is Mac's Soft Brown which I have wanted for a long time after seeing it everywhere. So when I spotted it in store I had to pick it up. Its a very warmed tone brown which I think makes a great crease and transition colour. Just so you know it is a little different than how it shows up in the photo.

     

Next up is one of the new L'oreal Color Riche Lipstick's in 600 Doutzen's Pink. Their new collection is a group of different nude lipsticks and nail polishes by 6 iconic L'oreal models. This one is a super light and sheer pink and obviously its by Doutzen Kroes. Even though it is sheer, it still provides enough colour to make your lips a little more nude and pink.

Benefits eye bright is the perfect colour to highlight anything around your eye, seriously. I use it to highlight my brow bone, inner corner, water line, you name it. Its a multipurpose product and I love it.

This is Nars' blush in Sin. Its a cool berry colour with gold reflex and I think its amazing just for a nice pick-me-up on your cheeks. Also I can only assume that all Nars blush's in general (as I only have one) are all as blendable and smooth as this one. P.S. It looks much more red toned in the picture than it actually is.

I picked up this Rimmel nail polish after seeing a picture of it on Instagram and I needed it. Its the perfect pink nude colour (I want it in lipstick form). I've never had a nail polish from the range before and so far its been holding up pretty well.
