Trend Fix: Orange Lips



This spring it's all about being daring & revamping your look, so what better way to start than with bright lips?! Orange lips are making it's way into the fashion world, with many models rocking the look down the runway.


This season's trend is a great departure from the usual reds, and browns used so often. Most reds and plum lip colors require a certain undertone to pull off , but oranges tend to look great on all skin tones. It's also great to use if you want your eye color to pop.

Check out this trend report by Sephora about using oranges.

Beauty Fix: Metallics, Neons, & Thick Eyebrows

Right now we are obsessing over the hottest beauty trends this spring, so it would only be right to share with you some items that complete our beauty fix.


The first trend that has emptied out our pockets, is the 1970's disco inspired metallic eye-shadow. This trend has crawled it's way back into the 21st century, making it the perfect look for a fun night out. You could either wear it heavily around the eye, or if you don't want to draw too much attention, this look would be great around the inner corners of your eyes.

The second trend that has got us going gaga, is bright neon colored eye-shadows.This spring eyes are all about being wide, and bright.  Celebrities like Rihanna, are already drawing attention and sporting this look.


I know some of you fashionistas will be thanking the fashion God's for this last trend. Thick eyebrows are officially in vogue, and I don't know about you guys but this makes us quite happy if we must say. For a perfect look, trim any long hair that is following the angle of the eyebrow, and fill in spaces with a good definer.

Spring Fashion Forecast: Beauty Fix


Chanel Iman

Continuing with our spring fashion forecast, we are moving right into the fun stuff..... makeup products! This season  we are seeing makeup artists move away from the normal pink shades, and towards a  more peachy look. Diane Von Furstenburg, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Derek Lam are amongst some of the designers who have showcased this new look on the runways. 

Bright pops in color are also a favorite this spring. Purples, blues, greens, and corals, are all apart of the colors we are beginning to see......  if it's bright, it's right! However, if bright shades scare you, don't worry it happens to the best of us. It's all about balancing out bright shades with neutral colors.

When you wear bright colors, make sure to wear them on one or two features, and focus the rest with neutrals. Choose eye shadows that compliment the tones found on your eyelids, and lip colors that are close in hue with  your bare lips. It's very helpful to find a palette that contains all the shades you'll need.Here are a few of our favorite makeup products for spring.
