Tangerine Dream

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

With spring on its way & the weather looking set to be a good one we think it’s time to start looking into our favourite colour trend of this coming season. Make way for Pantone‘s colour of the year — Tangerine Tango! Mostly orange (with a dash of coral), this shade is supposed to emante heat and energy & will look amazing with the cinnamon tans!

Dress – Oasis

The shade is not for the faint of heart (or color palette), as it’s one that’ll get you and your outfit noticed — big time. We like pairing it with neutral basics or with another bright piece for a color-blocked effect, or trying it in small doses, in the form of standout accessories.

Amrita Singh Louise Earring

Pantone is considered the world’s authority on color. Its recommendations and guides for selecting and matching colors influence designers of interiors, clothes and home furnishings. It may be a little too much to handle if your bedroom is like a neon circus but we reckon this colour is a great addition to the wardrobes!

Reiss Roll Sleeve Top

This vibrant shade is not only reserved for clothing, we have already seen it leaking into make-up trends over the past year with bright coral & orange colours appearing on lips, cheeks, nails & even eyes.

We cannot wait to start brightening up our wardrobe! My dream buy from this trend would have to be this amazing Blumarine bag!

Have you seen any good bargains in this hot new shade?

Let us know!

It’s all in the eyes

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Everyone wants to make their eyes pop at the Christmas party this season. The questioin is how to really make your eyes stand out & what colours will compliment you!

The first thing that will really make your look sparkle is flawless skin. Mix your foundation with a tiny drop of The Body Shop Tinted Glow Enhancer. Mixing this with your foundation will give you that coverage that you want while also giving your skin a healthy glow.

Using a primer like Urban Decay primer potion on your lids will make the colour of your eyeshadow more pigmented & will also keep your look intact for much longer. A necessity for those wild nights out!

Use a colour similar to your skin tone to create a base on your eyes & even out your skintone before coming in with the colour that will make your eyes shine bright!

Green Eyes Use a warm pink or rose tone on the crease

Brown Eyes If you have brown eyes, you are one of the lucky ones. Brown eyed girls can use any warm tone to enhance their eyes. Create a dramatic contrast between the dark shades & the whites of the eyes line the waterline with eyeliner.

Blue Eyes Warm bronze & tan shades work great to make blue eyes sparkle!

What will be your go-to party look this season?

Let us know!

Lady GaGa’s natural look!

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Since bursting onto the scene just a few years ago Lady GaGa has gained a reputation for being eccentric & over the top….to put it lightly.

At first there was the white blonde hair & blood red lips that made her stand out from the crowd but with her ever evolving style influencing other artists to start going a bit ‘gaga’ she had to keep stepping it up.

GaGa has always been creative in her videos, whether she is dressed in fishnets & duck tape or dressed as a man!

Her red carpet outfits have always made headlines. The now infamous meat-dress is now on display in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We have also seen her with cling-on type monster make-up & of course her arrival to the 2011 Grammy’s in an egg not unlike something from alien. She may be crazy & eccentric but at least there seems to be a theme, a method to the madness perhaps?

Lady GaGa is the latest cover star for Elle Magazine & she is glowing with a really stripped down look.

Her make-up is very minimal with muted neutral tones & she looks stunning. Her hair is very edgy while still maintaining a clean, minimal look. The mesh around her eyes brings a little bit of that GaGa edge that we are used to. She manages to look edgy while keeping the look fresh at the same time.

The LA Team are very impressed with the latest cover & we want to know what you think?

Do you love this look or do you prefer to see the monster in her?

Stocking fillers!

Monday, November 28th, 2011

Everyone loves getting little extras in their Christmas stocking so the LA Team have compiled a list of some great new products that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Manuka Doctor Foaming Cleanser €15

Brand new product to the UK & Ireland, Manuka Doctor’s skincare range contains concentrated bee venom that’s guaranteed to give your skin a perk-me-up treat this winter. The venom – which is said to be nature’s equivalent of Botox – is renowned for its anti-bacterial and skin regenerating qualities, which can help brighten your skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and even make scars appear less prominent.

It works by mimicking the effects of a light bee sting, which encourages the skin to renew cells and boost collagen. This foaming cleanser is gentle enough for everyday use.

St Tropaz perfect legs €12

Sally Hansen has been the product of the year when it comes to instant tanning so it was only a matter of time before St Tropaz jumped on board with their own version. Launching next week, the spray gives instant colour and an airbrushed finish whilst building a natural looking tan!

ASOS faux sheepskin mittens

For those of us who have been eye-ing a pair of uber cozy Ugg mittens but couldn’t justify forking out €100 for a pair, the wonderful people at ASOS have once again saved the day. Get yourself a pair of sheepskin mittens & keep fingers feeling toasty all winter for only €47!

Fifty dresses that changed the world €15

You don’t have to be a fashionista or a design aficionado to adore this fascinating look at the power of one dress to change society.
Join the Design Museum, the worlds leading museum in contemporary design, on a guided tour of the 50 most important dresses in social history and design.
Filled with pages of beautiful clothes, and the famous faces (and bodies) that put them on the world stage -including Wallis Simpson, Jackie Kennedy, Twiggy and Cher and, of course, Princess Di-this fun volume shares fascinating appraisals of what gave the 50 most important garments their iconic status.

The Organic Pharmacy Liver & Kidney Detox Drops, €14

Packed full of dandelion, milk thistle, marshmallow and artichoke, this tincture is the antidote to overdoing it at Christmas, mopping up excess toxins and supporting the organs during full detox. Easy to fit into your daily routine, just add drops to water throughout the day to feel the benefit. Alternatively if the pungent formula makes your stomach turn, then try adding to herbal tea, for a gentler mix!
