It’s gonna be a mellow yellow Summer!

Posted by Lipglossiping On April - 4 - 2011

So, who’s for yellow nails this Summer?

Every year, the celebs get their banana polishes out of storage to threaten us with canary tips but this year… we’re in for some serious yellow fever!

We all knew we were in for a trend when we saw Chanel’s upcoming Mimosa polish set to launch next month but Mimosa is just the tip of the yellow-coloured iceberg!

Will you be taking the plunge into the IT shade of the season or are you a bit yellow-bellied *groan* like me?

Vamping it up! Dark lips for Autumn/Winter

Posted by Lipglossiping On September - 28 - 2010

It’s that time of the year again… dark lips are gonna be out in force!

I wanna know how you wear a great dark lip? I love the trend… especially for lazy days and bare eyes. My problem? I have a pretty thin top lip and dark colours make lips look even thinner! I always feel that these vampy shades make me look like I’ve got a MEAN mouth!

I really want to put more effort into wearing some great vampy shades this season.

Here’s my inspiration:

Will you be wearing some dark lip shades this Autumn? Are you a bit nervous of the annual trend? If you’ve discovered any great tips – do share them, I’m sure that I’m not alone in needing some guidance!

Trend forecasts for Spring 2011 – Matte Orange Lips

Posted by Lipglossiping On September - 17 - 2010

If there’s one ‘trend’ I could do without. Matte orange lips pretty much sums it up.

Big hair and bright, orange lips were the order of the day for Marc by Marc Jacobs’ fun, colorful collection for Spring 2011.

Really… no, really. Thanks.

Not only the hardest formula for us gals to wear whilst going about our daily whatevers… but let’s do it in orange too shall we?

What I wanna know is this…

Does it really matter? I’m not sure I pay much attention to seasonal trends… I just wear whatever the hell I want. I guess I’d appreciate it if companies don’t go ALL OUT on the orange for their Spring collections, but meh… whatever, guess it’ll save me money right?

Do you follow so-called trends or even take much inspiration from them?
