Love the Look!: Burgundy Lips

Burgundy Lips. Some people love it, some are too scared to try it but I'm here to tell you that its all about the shade of the colour you use. Use the right shade of Burgundy and it can look really gorgeous. Megan Fox in the picture above is wearing a purple-toned shade of Burgundy,  it looks great on her but it is a difficult shade to pull off. I personally love red toned burgundy because it's easier to pull off. Once you put the lipstick on, it becomes the main focus of your face and adds a sultry but classic kind of look. Here is a picture of the burgundy lipstick I love to use (Avon lipstick in Cherry Jubilee);

So if you are looking to buy a burgundy lipstick, which can be found everywhere in drugstores, make sure it has a reddish tone to it, as it is more flattering and easier to pull off.

Style Love!: Flirty Floral with Aly Michalka!

The birds are chirping outside & the sun is shining for all you girls that get to get all dressed up for spring. If you think like me Spring = Floral. Aly Michalka (above right) is wearing a floral dress that would look flattering on everyone. See how it kind of looks like a bustier on top? It would look great on anyone!

Tips for this look:

• By layering necklaces like Aly did, it adds a boho appeal which I personally think is gorgeous.
• By choosing bright and fun floral dresses, you will definitely win some compliments.
• The main thing is to have fun with it! Florals dresses are cute & flirty, you can't really go wrong!

Girl of the Moment!: Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester's the girl of the moment! Firstly let's talk about the pictures above, which were in Marie-Claire. An edgier picture of leighton on the left with a Chanel temporary tattoo on her back and with a gorgeous (and daring) jet-black smokey eye and dark lips. The braided bun is also very popular right now. The picture in the right where she wears barely there eye makeup and red lips, results in a very pretty look.
Leighton's one of those girls that is just effortlessly cool. She's got a unique sense of style, is always fashion forward and is not afraid to change up her makeup! She doesn't take herself too seriously either; she showed up to an interview with Cosmopolitan a while ago makeupless, wearing glasses and in sweats!

Hot Nail Look!: Ombre Nails

It never occured to me to try this but when I saw the picture above, I was won over! Such a cool idea, and looks so good! For you girls that hoard nail polish like I do, just choose five different shades of the same colour family. Pinks, Reds, Blues so many options!

Love the Look!: Classic Look with Pink Lips

I think Kate Moss looks beautiful in this picture, do you guys?  I love the soft cat eye, minimal eyeshadow, sculpted cheeks and of course the oh-so-pretty kissable-looking pink lips paired with tousled hair! This look is so gorgeous!

How to get the look:

• Eyes: Kate Moss appears to have no eyeshadow on in the picture but a neutral colour close to your skin tone will do the trick. To achieve her cat-eye look, use a liquid eye liner (for a bolder look) or an angled brush dipped in black eyeshadow (for a softer look). If you would like, a post on how to do cat-eye liner can be found in the archives on my blog.
• Face: Kate's dewy skin can be achieved by using a tinted moisturiser or a foundation that enables maximum dewyness! Revlon's Photoready Foundation (drugstore option) or Nars' Sheer Glow Foundation (higher end option)  would be perfect to achieve this! & to get the appearance of sculpted cheeks, sweep a dark rose blush on your cheekbones.
• Lips: Sweep on your favourite pink lipstick, top with gloss and voila!

Love the Look!: Vanessa Hudgens for Candie's

Vanessa Hudgens looks absolutely gorgeous in the new Candie's campaign. Black eyeliner enhances her sultry stare, loose effortless looking curls and peachy pink lips gives a sweet with an edge kind of look. I love all the photos for the campaign so I will be posting more soon!

Love the Look!: Scarlett Johansson Edgy Chic

Scarlett Johansson looks fierce on the cover of Vogue China! Her gray-bronze smokey eye, nude lips and her gorgeous white lace dress with studded details (I want that dress! It's so pretty!) makes for a super pretty cover.  Also her new choppy bob looks gorgeous and is a nice change to all the bobs we see in magazines!

The Trick to this look:
The trick to her fresh looking haircut is that she has tons of texture in it. If you want to emulate this look then just grab a small dollop of hair wax and play around with it! Don't overdo it though or else you're hair will be more greasy than gorgeous!
