08 Trend Gold Eyeshadow Pure Gold
08 Trend Gold Eyeshadow Pure Gold
In an attempt to live young, I looked into fashion magazines for this seasons beauty trend in search for eye shadow ideas, as opposed to my usual eye shadow style (the few times I bother with eye shadow;) Read: brown. If you read every magazine out there for a few months, you would realise that they feature eye shadow of every colour so I ignored the obviously magazine-styled ones, like many shades of green, yellow and blue, and have decided to accept the classy trend: the gold eyeshadow. There are two types. The first one is pure gold.

As you can see, pure gold basically means just plain gold all over the eye lids. The looks above are from the Chanel F/W08 runway show. Obviously I dont recommend you actually taking this look literally in real life..jpg)
Another show that had all gold eye shadow was the Bottega Veneta S/S08 show. Here, it looks simple and elegant -perfect for day and night..jpg)
A closer look on the eyes. While it looks very effortlessly applied on, Im sure we wouldnt be able to replicate it quite as well in real life..jpg)
The way Im planning on trying out this look is to first adjust by dabbing a tiny bit of the gold just at the inner corners of the eyes, so it will look as it does in the image above. Just a tiny dab to add a little something to the otherwise plain (but equally elegant) look. After trying it out a few times, Ill move on to try the all-gold look (like in the other Bottega Veneta images, not Chanel!)
So I headed to M.A.C. and found this colour: Goldmine. The makeup lady applied the colour all over my eyelids and honestly, it looked more like sparkly yellow than the pure gold in the Bottega Veneta show. But since it usually takes me a very long time to accept new makeup colours on myself and I wasnt bothered to search for the perfect gold, I just picked a Goldmine up. Its something for me to look foward trying on my next quiet night out.Ill blog about the other gold eye shadow look soon! Thoughts about this gold look?

08 Trend Braided Hair
08 Trend Braided Hair
Braided hair has been one of the most obvious beauty trends this year. People seem to have a love-hate relationship with it -some people think its pretty and some think its just too cutesy. For most part, I think braids is a cute way to add some girliness to ones hairstyle, but it really depends on how you do it and whether it suits the rest of your look.
The celebrity that has been sporting braids the most seems to be Lauren Conrad. And if you know Laurens usual style (-very girly,) then you would probably agree that the braids really suit Lauren.
The basic way seems to be braiding the front bit of your hair and pull the briad to one side, and tie all your hair up into a pony tail. Look how well the braid goes with Laurens style!
And she even manages to use the braid to glam up her whole hairstlye and look.
Nicole Richie uses the braids to complement her boho, LA style.
Then theres the braided up-do.
I have to admit I think this hairstyle really doesnt suit Gwen Stefani. It looks so complicated and just... weird on her.
I love the way Rachel wore the braid. She manages to wear the braid without looking overly girly, keeping her casual and trendy look.Despite how cute I think the braid is, I still havent tried it out yet. Its probably because I dont want to look like Im 14, but mostly because it requires some effort to pull together (as opposed to doing nothing.) What do you think of the braid trend? Have you tried it?
