Did any of your faves make our list?

One beauty trend that definitely stood out during #NYFW for Spring 2012 is colorful hair. Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are notorious for sporting this look and even the seemingly demure Lauren Conrad took a step on the wild side when she showed off her multicolored ombré locks earlier this year.

Will you be sporting this trend anytime soon?

Beauty Report: Shades of Blue

Blue eyeshadow has the tendency to scare us and generally leaves us with worries of looking clownish or  probably feeling a bit ridiculous on our skin-tone but as of late, with the proper application and contrasting colors, indigo-dressed eyelids are something we’re totally coveting right now.

As seen on celebrities varying in age like Lea Michele, Emily Blunt and SJP to a slew models of different complexions walking the runways of Zac Posen, Betsey Johnson and Douglas Hannant, these blue hues are proving to look great on just about anyone so long as you find a complimentary set of shades.

Fairydrops is a super popular and patented Japanese mascara line that has finally hit the states. The Scandal Queen formula is blended with fibers that give you adorable, doll-like lashes. Say hello to your new favorite mascara.

Item of the Week: Candy by Prada Perfume

How cute is the packaging?

Prada attempts to reinvent itself with the release of Candy: a bold perfume boasting a new look and notes like caramel, benzoin and musk. The label says, “This scent is more feminine and more excessive than past launches. It has an explosion of joie de vivre that is quite unique for us, and uses a lot more color, including an outer packaging with a drawing.”
