With perspex neon accessories now seen everywhere from H&M to Valentino; it’s even easier to get your hands on the latest fashion-led pieces. Pairing up your new neon accessorizes with your everyday outfits should be fun! White is normally the best match but if you want go create come drama go for the opposite color, using a color wheel as your reference.

Burberry and Valentino strongly led the clear plastic fashion trend when it came to fashion week; at Valentino we saw an elegant chiffon dress paired with a structural plastic raincoat.  Burberry’s designer Christopher Bailey worked in a bright perspex cape in with a body con pastel dress.

Which neon perspex pieces would you wear?

Drugstore beauty buys http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/05/09/drugstore-beauty-buys/ http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/05/09/drugstore-beauty-buys/#comments Thu, 09 May 2013 17:39:04 +0000 A http://hautpr.com/beauty/?p=1578 When it comes to budget beauty buys you can really find some great products that perform just as well as high end products.The drugstore can be overwhelming at times, that’s why it’s important to do your research! The site ‘Makeup Alley’ comes in use when referring to product reviews. It gives each product a 1-5 star rating and users can add their own reviews! I find it very helpful when I want a non biased opinion.

Revlon make great products that perform just as well as most  high end brands, I am currently a big fan of their Color burst lip gloss in ‘Bellini’. Bellini is a milky toned peach gloss with slight shimmer. It looks equally as beautiful applied alone or over lipstick.

Drugstore skincare can be more challenging, as most drugstore products don’t contain a good SPF as well as beneficial ingredients . The Olay Total effects daily moisturizer is one of my favorites as it’s Non-Comedogenic, oil free and has a ton of antioxidants.  

When buying a moisturizer it’s always important to try to find one that does more than just hydrate your skin but if you are just in the market for a moisturizer that just hydrates the skin, then I would recommend Cetaphil as it is fragrance free and contains no lanolins or parabens.

Splurging on items such as mascara is a ‘no no’ as they dry out within 3 months. Maybelline and L’oreal make some of the best mascara I’ve tried. L’oreal Telescopic and Maybelline The Rocket volum’ Express are some of my top picks!

Which drugstore products do you rate?

Makeup at the Met Gala http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/05/07/makeup-at-the-met-gala/ http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/05/07/makeup-at-the-met-gala/#comments Tue, 07 May 2013 20:51:37 +0000 A http://hautpr.com/beauty/?p=1571 If you think the smokey eye is just made for black eye shadow, think again! Last night’s Met costume gala called for some stand out eye looks and with a theme like Punk:Chaos to Couture it’s not hard to see why all the makeup looks were so bold. Kristen Stewart’s makeup artist used a Cranberry Red with Black kohl pencil to define around the eyes while Elle Fanning went all out with a colorful winged eye shadow blended up to the brows.

Which eye shadow colors will you be rocking this Summer?

Kardashian Khaos: Fish Pedis http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/05/06/kardashian-khaos-fish-pedis/ http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/05/06/kardashian-khaos-fish-pedis/#comments Mon, 06 May 2013 17:20:56 +0000 A http://hautpr.com/beauty/?p=1565 Fish pedicures, in case you didn’t know, are where you soak your feet in water filled with little, live fish that help to exfoliate your skin and eat away at any dead skin you may have. These are becoming more and more popular and have been featured on many reality shows, including The Real Housewives of New York.

Through Instagram and social media, we learned that Kourtney and Kim Kardashian got these during their family vacation to Greece last week. Kim allegedly “freaked out” at the feel of the fish! Would you?

Successful Self-Tanning http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/04/18/successful-self-tanning/ http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/04/18/successful-self-tanning/#comments Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:20:51 +0000 A http://hautpr.com/beauty/?p=1552 Are you trying to get a spring time glow without using the tanning booth? Many people use self tanner and look great from doing so!

There are certain things you can do, though, to make your self-tan come out as well as possible. Follow these rules to look your best:

  • Do everything else first – like shaving and getting a manicure
  • Be sure that you’re 100% dry from your shower before applying self tanner
  • Work from the bottom up for best results
  • Wait extra time for it to dry and then after rub baby powder on yourself to avoid it transferring to your clothing

For more tips on how to self tan for success, check out the full list from Allure!

In With a Bang http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/04/04/in-with-a-bang/ http://hautpr.com/beauty/2013/04/04/in-with-a-bang/#comments Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:24:22 +0000 A http://hautpr.com/beauty/?p=1541 Bangs are a new trend when it comes to hairstyles! We’re talking straight across, old-fashioned bangs!

This look certainly isn’t for everyone, but it’s definitely stylish if you could pull it off.

The Kardashians are pioneers when it comes to this look, lately! Specifically Kourtney and Kim are showing off their new bangs, and we have to say – they look fab!

If you’re feeling the bang look, start off the spring with a bang (pun intended!) and rock this hot look!
