Looking Into The Sunset Like Whoa: Sunset Eyeshadow IS The New Trend

Image
There is a new beauty trend sweeping the pages of our social media feeds.  Sunset   Eyeshadow   is bright, it's in your face and it's here to stay. A colourful display of Summery juiciness, this trend has us reminiscing about ripened mangoes and summer sunshine. The collective of makeup artists talented enough to master this trend have inspired us by using palettes of zesty oranges, bright pinks and shimmery coppers. There is something quite sultry about this look so below we have compiled our favourite looks with a sneaky little at home tutorial... 1 . @mariamakeupdaily A post shared by MariaMakeup (@mariamakeupdaily)  on  Mar 28, 2017 at 5:36pm PDT  2.  @sing2_makeupdiary A post shared by Sing Sing (@sing2_makeupdiary)  on  May 16, 2017 at 3:32pm PDT  3.  @itsmichellemunozz  A post shared by ✨Michelle✨ (@itsmichellemunozz)  on  May 9, 2017 at 10:42pm PDT 4.  @bookyourlooknyc A post shared by Makeup By Christina (@boo

Image
Hey Ladies we have found the ultimate accessory for you to store your  Solotica  Coloured Contacts  in. It's probably the most delicious piece of arm candy you can have (after Ryan Gosling). The new  Gucci Queen Margaret Bag  is here and it is beyond amazing. Living up to the regal title within the name, the  Gucci Queen  as we will now refer to it, is the quite literally the Queen of all bags. Gucci  have seriously outdone themselves with this regal piece of arm candy. The collection is infused with ornate detailing, matte block colours and heavy armoured accents of bamboo top handles and thick luggage details such as the luggage tag and thicker shoulder strap. Starting at prices as cool $3500 (that's a lot of coffee money) the  Gucci Queen  is definitely worth the investment. Whether you rate or hate the royal family, there is one thing you cannot deny, Gucci gave them great taste. For more fashion news head to  www.eyesofsolotica.com/blogs

She Said "Gucci This and Gucci That but, Can You Spot A Fake"?!

There's a luxury designer item which us females all NEED. Ok, ok, ok we admit it, we don't need them as such, we just WANT them badly. The Gucci flat has been seen everywhere from PTA Mum's to the girl at the Coles Deli standing next to us with her red basket slung over her Country Road loose knit as she taps her designer foot in waiting.  A post shared by Gucci (@gucci) on May 9, 2017 at 5:46am PDT These coveted iconic slides have our hearts besting with some serious fashion lust whilst the logical side of our brain is trying to rationalise how we can afford to eat for the month and still, treat ourselves?! It seems the Gucci slide is quite the addictive loafer, with die hard Gucci fans often sporting a pair in every colour and at around $700 a pair, it's quite the expensive fetish. But let's not forget the limit editions, those babies will set you back a cool $1200, but hey Carrie Bradshaw once said " Sometimes i would buy Vogue instead

Sweat Sessions With Kayla Itsines

There is not a woman who is more wholesome, relatable and in some way, approachable than Kayla Itsines . The Fitness powerhouse is the complete package. After just a short scroll through her Instagram account , you will see that Kayla is personable, humble and to put it politely, knows her shit. If you are just beginning your health and fitness journey, I have one tip for you. Do it for the right reasons. You need to do things because you want to. Not because someone made you feel uncomfortable and you are trying to prove them wrong, not because you want to impress someone, not because you want to beat someone and certainly not for a boy or girl. You need to want to do these things for YOU, because YOU want to be better, faster, stronger, happier and healthier. Yes, some things may motivate you, but don't let them be the only reason you do something. Treat you body right, you deserve it. www.kaylaitsines.com/app #bbg A post shared by Kayla Itsines (@kayla_itsines) on Ma

Eye Make Up Tips To Make You look Younger

We all want to chase the fountain of youth and remain looking our best age whatever that age may be (21 i'm guessing), so here are 3 eye make-up tricks to make you look younger. 1.Curl those Lashes Big, bright, visible eyes are another sign of youth and vitality and are so easy to achieve with this quick morning ritual. Not only do they finish off your look but they make your eyes appear more radiant, so why not show them off? Get the curler as close to the lash line as possible and curl for 15 seconds. Be careful not to pinch the delicate surrounding skin. 2 . White Eyeliner A makeup trick of the trade for decades now, white eyeliner instantly opens and brightens the eyes. A white khol eyeliner will lengthen the appearance of the eye, making them appear wider. This instantly opens the appearance of the eye and makes the face seem brighter. So ditch those dark eyeliners and rewind the years by trying a white liner. 3. Thicken Those Eyebrows Gone are the days of thin, over-sha

Behold The Beauty Of Your Eyes; Hot New Makeup Trends

There are some big trends on the horizon when it come to eye makeup and creating those statement, coloured eyes. It seems when the weather cools down, we all gravitate towards black, black and more black. However, this season when the weather is cooler down, the trends in eye makeup are warming up with metallics, brown eyeliners and glitter eyelids. There is less need for black and more emphasis on creating colour and movement around the eye. We are seeing more and more makeup artists using coloured contact lenses to help enhance their eyes and really make those Lily Lashes stand out. 1.  A bold metallic liner  will brighten your eyes and make them appear more open and enhanced. A set of warmer tone  Solotica  contact lenses such as  Solotica  Natural Avela  or  Solotica   Hidrocor Amber  will create a beautiful look full of depth.

Solotica  coloured contact lenses give us ladies pinning for a different shade of eye colour, hope yet. With a complete coverage and an ability to change the colour of your eye, there is no need to look further. Available in three styles there is a style to suit just about anyone.

MAC Cosmetics Hint of Colour Lip Oil; Beauty's LUST Have

Image
There's a new beauty product that has just hit the shelves internationally and it is promising big things to it's consumers. MAC Cosmetics  have just launched a new innovation in makeup, more specifically lip colour.   The Hint of Colour Lip Oil   is a colour oil that works with the PH of your body to transform your lip colour into a fabulous new hue. However, there is a catch. This specific range of lip colours is not yet forecasted to be hitting the shores of Australia just yet. Recently launched in Asia,  MAC  are focusing on their Asian cult following to build the product prior to trialling it in other countries. Sorry to report ladies, but you'll just have to book an overseas ticket if you are wanting to purchase this miracle lip makeup. We already have our   Eyes of Solotica office   sleuth onto the case for us...stay tuned. For more beauty news don't forget to head to  www.eyesofsolotica.com

Jeffree Star vs The People vs Unicorns; The Jury Is Still Out.

You will all know an love beauty influencer  Jeffree Star  however, it would seem that Mr Star has declared war on one of our beauty favourites,  Too Faced Cosmetics. It would appear that beauty influencer  Jeffree Star  has waged a war on  too faced   cosmetics  over... you guessed it, Unicorns. Yes you heard right, Unicorns or more specifically,  Too Faced Unicorn  Tears Lipstick is the at the forefront of this beauty rift. Jeffree  went on a Snapchat rant where he concluded; "I'm just saying y'all, I'm so disappointed as a fan of makeup and I'm just done supporting people who are gonna treat people like that,"  Jeffree   continued. "I don't care who did unicorn what, when, where. I have a unicorn blood lipstick, should I start suing? Girl, spare me, it's makeup." It would seem that all is not fair in love and lipstick..
