trends'12

Hello!


Today I was hunting for summer'12 trends and it wasn't easy and pleasant at the same time. Yet, I was able to score few trends that I thought were classic and easy to try. After doing my research I found out that summer trends are similar to the spring trends with minor alterations. 

Summer trends are more bold and bright than spring trends in my humble opinion. Let's start with my favorite trend, which is pistache nail polishes, not tiffany turquoise. Focus ladies pastle colors are major this season, but the color that is found in most of the brands is pistache and in the picture above you will find a OPI's stranger tides. I think it is from Pirates of the Caribbean  collection, which I believe you will able to find it in Nazih. 

Meow!! nothing says bold like a strong classic cat-eye and the best product for this is barry M's wink black marker. I love this eyeliner for this kind of look, it is black and applies thick line. It is easy to use and affordable! But most importantly it is so BLACK and everyone can tell the difference between using my MAC eyeliner or the Sensai one. Yet, the tip goes crazy after using is few times, but you can still usable.

Next trend is bold eyebrows, which means its time to stop shaving your eyebrows! I hate seeing tiny eyebrows on a huge face, seriously ladies your eyebrow is the frame of the face. It balances the features of the face and every normal human has pair of those(eyebrows). Anyway a great product to draw back those sexy bold eyebrows is Dior's eyebrow pencil they have many shades that suits different hair colors. 

Finally, your classic red lips, but this time you have to make it look like a lip stain using a tissue. After applying a few coats of lady danger lipstick by MAC( I chose it, because it suits summer bright orange red) then blot away the excess using a tissue. The stained lips look was all over the runways this season and its really fun and screams summer.

Hope you enjoyed this post and I'm coming back with more summer nail trends tomorrow. Follow @MakeupAfairs for more updates and don't feel shy: share your comments, request, twitter accounts and blogs!

Pop of Pink

Hi Again! 


I'm on fire I know (A)! Today I'm blogging about pink products either they are pink or have a pink packaging. Lets start with my favorite new findings:


Benefit's cream eyeshadow in R.S.V.P


It's a light pink color with a gold rose undertone. I always wear a primer before applying creamy eyeshadow to make sure my eyeshadow will not stray. Perfect for daily makeup with winged eyeliner and loads of mascara. You can add a soft brown to your crease and blend it too. 




Benefit's bad gal mascara 


One of my favorite mascaras bad gal mascara adds volume to your eyelash and make them look fuller. It is affordable in comparison to other high end mascara. 


M.A.C's blush in harmony 


Lovely! It looks very bright in the ban, but when you apply it it looks light and pretty. One of my favorite pink shades at the moment. It is matte, which makes it great for summer! Especially if you have an oily skin. 
It looks amazing with bronzer I simply LOVE it! 


illamasqua's blush in Chased


Is a matte, blue-based medium pink. Personally, I found this shade a bit hard to pull off, but I liked it softly tapped onto the apples of cheeks with a smoky eye and a light pink or nude lip.I also like that you can build up the color intensity by applying more, but you don’t have to worry about getting too much with just one swipe, either. I found just one tap of the brush on the powder was enough to give me the color intensity I wanted more often than not.


order it from: 


asos.com
Nars's Schiap lipstick


Is a bright, fuchsia-pink with a semi-matte finish. It has no shimmer, but it does have a slightly glossy sheen, so it doesn’t a completely matte finish. Schiap applies beautifully–soft, smooth, and the color looks even with little effort. I wear it with nude eyes ( mascara only) or with a cat eye.


order it from:
saks.com


OPI's pink flamenco 


Amazing pinky nail polish. You only need two coat of this color to have full coverage. 


illamasqua's plunge lipstick


I always gets complements when I wear this. Most importantly its matte lipstick with lots of coverage. Yet, you need to polish your lips before applying this lipstick.

Sparkle Attack!

Hi Again! 

I'm happy to announce that one week ago Nazih ( beauty supply store) in my country (Qatar) brought OPI's muppets collection. I was waiting for this collection for the past few months, but they brought Niki Minage's collection before, which is quit interesting. 

Anyway today's post is all about the Muppet's Nail collection, which is by far my favorite collection by OPI. This collection defines sparkles and metallic. Also, it has few opaque colors, but the main focus is the fun and bright colors that scream muppets! 

I only bought 7 colors out of the 12 as the opaque colors are similar to OPI's permanent line. Let's start by showing you pictures of the colors. 

And here a close picture of each four colors: 

I got these four colors and they look amazing, actually now I'm wearing Fresh Frog of Bel Air! I got so many complements on it (A) 

Both of the glittery colors on the left look similar to Katy Perry's collection, but darker and more intense. One coat of these glitter polishes makes wonder!

The red color screams miss piggy! Bottom line go get some from Nazih they have 4 branches and a stand @ villagio mall in front of H&M. 

I didn't get two of the shimmery color, but I might go to get it.  Lastly, here is a tip to remove glitter nail polish: 

Take a cotton ball and dip it in nail polish remover then place it on your nail and cover it with a foil for 5 minutes. It removes it easily without harming your nails! Instead, of rubbing the cotton for 15 minutes. 

Hope you liked this post and tune in for reviews of Armani and Inglot's lipstics. Also, I might post of nail varnishes that I got to show the real colors! Yet, the pictures above are clear! 

This was Roza from philosophy class!

Summer trends : Nail Polishes

Hi!

First, let me thank my friends for supporting me and following my posts I really appreciate it <3 <3 <3 And thanx Nayoola for posting a comment, keep it up Nayoola (A) (A)

I’m obsessed with nail polishes, because it’s allows you to express yourself and be make statements, but without looking “CRAZY” let’s leave the craziness to Lady Gaga she is mastering it ;p jk.  So this summer trends are all about wearing bright, playful and colorful, but you still can rock some dark colors. Don’t be afraid of adding your own signature style to the trend. It’s nice to keep up with the new trends, but it’s more fun and unique to add your own sense of style to it. There are few colors that are noticeable this summer and lots of celebrities were spotted wearing one of the following colors:

1)      ROYAL BLUE: A rich, opaque bluish purple shade that looks equally chic on fingers and toes. Dating A Royal by OPI is great example of royal blue nail polish. It’s classy and trendy, but make sure that your nails isn’t too long.

2)     Sea Foam Green

This creamy pale mint shade is a subtle, more wearable iteration of last season's green polish trend, which was flashier. Example: OPI’s Gargantuan Green Grape, it’s daring and fresh.

3)     Electric Red

Red looks elegant year-round, but during this summer months brighten up with red  with orange undertones.

Example : OPI’s Keys To My Karma is a classic bright red.  

4)     Bright Orange

Nothing looks better with a tan than a vibrant pop of sleek orange nail polish. Example:  OPI’s In My Back Pocket is a great bright orange that looks amazing on glowing/healthy skin “don’t go jersey shore crazy with the tan”.

5)     Turquoise

 Azure for Sure by OPI is a great example of turquoise for this summer. Turquoise is the most worn color by celebrities. It’s shouts summer 2011 !!  Again its looks better with short nails, because it won’t look too much.

6)Deep Purple

From lilac to violet, there are a slew of purple polishes out right now, but for this summer we recommend this pretty, rich lavender hue best.  Example: OPI’s A Grape Fit!

6)     Canary Yellow

This sunny shade will instantly brighten up your summer look.

 Example: OPI’s Need Sunglasses? is one of my favorite yellow, it’s not glittery “perfect”. I believe  glittery orange/yellow nail polishes are tacky and cheap =S stick to the matte glossy ones for these two colors.

7)     Fruit Punch

A playful pinky-red tone that's perfect if you like to work a matching mani-pedi.

8)    Fuchsia:

If hot pink just isn't bold enough for you, try this shimmery or matte magenta lacquer. OPI’s Miami Beet is a great color to wear for this summer.

9)     Glitter :

You can either wear it on all of your fingers or only on the “ring finger”. It’s one of the trends for this summer to make one of your finger pop by wearing different color or design.  OPI has one or two in each collection so get the glittery nail colors once you find it.

Example : I lily love you is a pink glitter similar to Teenage dream , but with coral glitter. It’s from the recent collection and might find it at Nazih.

10) Neon

Eye-popping shades of green, blue and pink are everywhere this summer. These colors have a matte finish with just a hint of shimmer. Example :  OPI’s My Chihuahua Bites! Don’t get the glittery ones again its cheap.

11)  Juicy Pink

Pink polish is a summer staple and we're loving this universally flattering hue, which has hints of coral. Example: OPI Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!

I almost own all of these colors and I love wearing them !! OPI is my favorit brand for nail polishes <3 <3  They sell OPI in Nazih store located in Algharafa street , Al Nasser and Salwa road. In Villagio they have stand in front of H&M = ) hope you liked this post and I'm going to post other trends later today.
