GLAMOROUS GRUNGE

Ph: Elle UK

A popular beauty trend we've been seeing for spring/summer 2013 is the glamorous grunge look. Undone and tousled hair was a way of showing effortless chic. It looks effortless, but in fact hair stylists had to create this undone look for fashion shows like Giles, Kenzo and Marni. It wasn't as easy as waking up and looking grunge ready. The glamorous edge is a popular way of showing you don't care, yet you do! It's quite different from beachy hair, because that creates a bronze beach bombshell quality to your entire look. This is more of a put together and polished grunge hair. It sounds odd but it works! It's very model esque don't you think?

Here are some great products and tools to create your tousled look:



Sultra 'Bombshell' Curling Rod (1 inch)
Aveda 'control force' Firm Hold Hair Spray
Aveda 'light elements' Texturizing Creme

SLEEK & GLOSSY STRAIGHT TREND

Sleek and shiny straight hair has been one of spring/summer's popular beauty trend. We've seen the straight and glossy hair look at shows like Costume National, DSquared2 and Jill Stuart. An effortless chic hair style with a hint of movement to make the not completely effortless look, look effortless. 

Here are some great hair products to create these sleek hair looks:

Kiehl's Since 1851 Heat-Protective Silk Straightening Cream
Aveda 'smooth infusion' Glossing Straightener
Kiehl's Since 1851 Weather-Proof, Shine-Enhancing Nonaerosol Spray

S/S '13 BEAUTY TRENDS

S/S '13 calls for bold lips, thick brows, light liner & a beautiful bare face. 

Dolce & Gabbana and Christian Dior had pops of color backstage with bold luscious lips. For spring/summer, a bright lip with a simple dress will give you that something to bring your head to toe look together.

Backstage at Etro and Versace these models are showing off their gorgeous, "here I am" brows (as I like to call them). I just adore thick beautiful brows on a woman. Bushy or well groomed, they're ALL amazing! 

Light liner & simple makeup to show off your skin. The weather is getting warmer and the clothes are getting smaller, it's time to make sure everyone sees that glow on your face. Adding a light liner, (like grey) will soften your eyes and not make a dramatic look for the day.

SUMMER WHITES

This season calls for fresh manicures & a sleek coat of white paint. There's nothing better than a luxurious time at the nail salon and walking out like a new woman. One of the most popular trends for S/S '13 can be something fun for your the next mani/pedi trip.
