Seductive Lip Colours for Valentines Day

No matter the cold and grey weather outside, keep your lipstick bright.

Red, Pink doesn’t have to mean pastel, so trade yours in for these winter-approved hues, doing anything from making a flirtatiously sweet statement on Valentine’s day to setting the mood for cocktails with the girls.


 On Valentine’s Day the stakes are high.

Christmas gift: Christian Louboutin’s Ultra Luxe Lipstick

When Christian Louboutin was asked “what woman can wear his Rouge Louboutin Lip Colour”, he replied simply, yet definitively “every woman!”.  After all, the iconic shade was formulated to complement women of all skin tones, and comes in three different finishes to suit any occasion.

 

 Just in time for the holidays, the designer re-introduces the Rouge Louboutin Lip Colour Collection Limited Edition comprised of Rouge Louboutin Lip Colours in three finishes: Silky Satin, Velvet Matte, and Sheer Voile. The jewelry inspiration comes to life with a gunmetal chain to complement the silver, gold, and black finishes of each piece.

 

For Christian Louboutin, a designer and creator of rare objects, lipstick is a woman’s magic wand. No longer tucked away between the key ring and the nail file, the Louboutin Lip Colour transforms a forgotten object into a treasured jewel.

 

 Inspired by Middle Eastern antiquities and the Art Deco movement, the solid metal body is reminiscent of a precious vial. The turret-like crown cap is topped with a small ring threaded with a silk ribbon, turning the lip colour into a necklace.

Refresh Your Wardrobe

Spring-cleaning came and went. You gave away clothes to thrift shops and consignment stores and now you’re left with everything else. You love the clothes in your closet. You sincerely do, but style-wise, you just haven’t been feeling up to it. Where’d the energy that you once had waking up in the morning inspired to style yourself go? It’s time to refresh your wardrobe and step out of your style comfort zone once again. Re-style and reimagine looks from your own closet, because who has time for a trip to the mall right now, anyway?

Get DIY Happy- It’s time to tap into your crafty side. Looking up DIY tutorials is a great way to help freshen up your wardrobe and turn old style staples into new ones. Cut off the sleeves, make holes in your jeans, just do what you have to feel inspired by style again.

Mix Separates- Mix separates that you haven’t worn before and rock them with shoes and accessories, you never thought you could rock. Give yourself a goal of mixing separates you’ve never worn together, at least once a week. Turn it into a habit and see your closet transform.

 

Try Out Clothes You Don’t Often Wear- We all have those dresses and jeans collecting dust in our closets. It’s time to dust them off and give them new life. Wear them once and while, lady! Feel good about your outfit

Add Unexpected Accessories- Add accessories to an outfit you normally wouldn’t consider. Add spikey studs to a floral, garden party look and add dark lipstick. Your friends will start to expect the unexpected from you.

Play Dress Up- As a kid, I had a trunk full of clothes and fun accessories and would play dress up and act out scenes in my head. Now, it’s your turn to go back to those days. The best aspect of style is that it allows you to be whoever you want to be. So go in front of your mirror and have some fun! You deserve it.

1. A dusty mauve is the perfect soft, yet deeply pigmented color for spring, especially when it’s got the sheen of a gloss, but the long-lasting power of a lip stain. Can’t imagine where you’d find that?

2. There’s really nothing prettier for spring than a warm pink, soft as a flower petal, right? Check out Marc Jacobs Beauty New Nudes Sheer Lip Gel ...

3. How about going bold with Plum? If you’re thinking this seems a bit dark for spring, think again! This gorgeous deep shade is reminiscent of blooming buds deep in the forest. Try MAC Lipstick ..

4. How about high shine with a plum gloss? Try Mabelline Color Elixir ...

5. Spring calls for a pop of color with a sheen and glossy twist. Go for something lighter, yet still in the purple family with Motives Mineral Lip Shine ....

SPRING TREND GUIDE : ORANGE LIPS

Orange is the new lip shade to sport this spring season and I have already seen lots of orange lipstick hues on many ‘it’ girls and celebrities. It’s so easy to do and very flattering on every skin color – it can even help you brighten your skin! Take a look at my favorite  lips  in orange ....

From Chanel to  Saint Laurent, Dior to John Galliano, practically every Spring 2014 runway show had bright, brilliant, gloriously orange lips. Even Rag & Bone veered from their regularly neutral shades and selected a bright, neon orange, matte lip. 

Which one is your favorite? Tell me in the comments below or tweet me ......xo
