Spring Beauty Trend 2013: Bright Eyeliner!

Hello beautiful rays of sunshine,

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! I know I'm not... Exams galore and last minute grades going into the gradebook. >.<

My birthday's TODAY (happy birthday to me..), but I'm not very excited this year. I have two exams and additional homework from other classes. I might have to get up early to go to a math review session at school... 5:30am on my birthday, woooot~

Anywhoo, on a much brighter note (ehehe), I've been honestly seeing this trend EVERYWHERE lately, on celebs, on the runway, on the street, legitimately everywhere I go. Bright eyes, a brilliant pop of color along the upper lashline. It makes your face look youthful and adds some color. You can play around with the look, whether you want it subtle or dramatic, it's entirely up to the person.

Kenzo Spring 2013

Moschino Cheap and Chic Spring 2013

Donna Karan Spring/Summer 2013

On the runway, the colors were being worn on the upper and lower lashline, accentuating different parts of the eye, but still bring attention to the eyes in general. Another way of wearing the bright eyeliner is just a ring around the eye.

Golden Globes Beauty Trend: Smokey Eyes and Sleek Waves

When I watched the Golden Globes last night, I was drooling over the gorgeous dresses and oh Lord, their hair. But something I saw pop up pretty often was the retro waves, that have made a comeback, and smokey eyes, an essential look that pops up everywhere.

Oh, and I totally knew Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman would totally win for Les Mis. Wasn't it obvious? X3

Congrats to Claire Danes and the producers of Homeland for winning a slew of awards. They always do. Her smokey eye is just a simple ring of black eyeliner, smoked out with a dark eggplant on the top lid.

I loved Julianne Hough's whole look. Her golden smokey eye is just one thing that totally completes her look. If she wore her dress/makeup any different, she wouldn't have been able to pull her pompadour-esque hair off, at all.

Fall 2012 Nail Trends You MUST Try

Once the leaves start turning colors, the nails do too. Out go the neons, in go the dark and neutrals. This year, rich burgundy was seen everywhere, whatever you like to call it. Chianti, oxblood, wine, they're all one and the same, the hit color of F/W 12/13. This year, we're evolving into a variety of jewel tones, soft metallics, and bold nail designs.

Trend #1: Oxblood

Met Ball 2012 Trend Alert: Burgundy lips

Hello world! Yesterday, I was scanning pictures of the Met Ball online, and I was peeing my pants the entire time. Everyone looked so pretty!!! -cue gushing and sparkly eyes- In case you didn't know what the Met Ball is, it is the Costume Institute Ball used to celebrate the annual opening of the Metropolitan (Met) Muesum's fashion exhibit. It's a red carpet event, and the top celebrities attend. It is one of the biggest social events in New York City, and a big night for fashion. Many trends have been made right here, and this might be a big one.

At the Met Ball 2012, there was a range of colors, from the basic nude lip to the dark, vampy lip. But the dark, vampy lip stood out for me, because it's not a lip color that is usually worn very often. Some celebrites are shown here:

Lana Del Ray with a deep part
