Make-up trend for Fall: Red lipstick
Bright red lips have always been a thing of beauty, they’re plump, luscious and simply ooze feminine sensuality. So thank goodness red lipstick is back and one of Autumn 2010’s biggest lip smacking make-up trends.
Blood red lips were seen on every model in Christian Dior’s A/W 2010 catwalk, and when it comes to lipstick trends there are no rules or boundaries. So enhance your natural features with a sweet raspberry shade complete with lip liner and gloss for ultra impact. If darker shades are more your fancy then opt for a deep crimson tone for that dramatic vamp look we all know and love but are too scared to try. But remember to keep the darker shades matt as glossy enhancement will make you look more drag queen than style queen. So go on ladies try something new this season, it’s not just your wardrobes that need changing you know.

The new hair style
No, not Emma Watson again. Those not opting for the chop right now may well be swayed by the hair style seen on the Chloe and Armani catwalks. After years of scruffy, throw-it-up-then-tousle-it-down hair dressing, it seems there’s a bit of a penchant for sleek and tamed do’s again at the moment. Well fashion does work in swings and roundabouts after all.
When we think about what to with all our camel coloured clothing this winter, the idea of a 1970s Charlie’s Angels swagger does kind of come top of the bill. What’s a bit of high-maintainance styling when you can have locks this shiny? Now, all we need to do is track down super hair stylist Oribe and find out exactly how it’s done…

The big Bang
Well, well, well ladies what can we say. Marc Jacobs has got his kit off and decided to show the world his buff bod in all its bare naked glory. But all for a good cause of course, no not for our viewing pleasure, for the launch of his first ever mens fragrance, BANG.
Mr. Jacobs is not the first, and certainly will not be the last, to strip down to his birthday suit in the name of fashion. After all Kate Moss has graced the cover of Vogue in nothing but her bare essentials and who can forgot Sophie Dahl for YSL’s Opium campaign. But technically this isn’t a fragrance us girls can use, so think of it more as a special little something you can go out and buy your man. So really the only reason we mention such news is purely based on the fact we get to lust at those abs. Well at least were honest.

Get Lacquered
Out with the old and in with the new that’s what we say here at FFL. Pastel nail polish was so three months ago so make way for a new team of vibrant juicy brights to quench your style thirst.
What’s left of summer looks a whole lot livelier with these bold citrus hues. Lancome, YSL, Mac and D&G are just a few of the fashion biggies to dip their fingers and toes into the latest polished trend. Think luscious lemons, ultra oranges, passion fruit pinks, kiwi greens, brilliant berries and your spot on. The delectable fruit of the tropics is brought to life with these lacquered gems, so why not try them for yourself and give your hands a well deserved spruce of colour.

Foot clash
Following on from the latest neutral/bright debate (which rages on by the way) we’ve come up with a cheerful compromise. Everyone knows that accessorising is the only way to make a look your own, so how about some clashing colours on the feet? You can wear your camel trousers in peace, knowing that there’s something to smile about below the ankles.
There’s pastel pink nail polish, which we have paired with bright blue suede heels, or a Betty Boop-esque powder pink peep-toe matched (or, er, not) with blood red tootsies? We haven’t gone mad honest, it actually looks pretty good!
Other colour distortions we’re loving include this vampish plum varnish and dark green shoe boot, or the overly chipper mint and orange cut-out heel. Ok we admit, that one is brave. But paired with plain separates and tonal outfits, why not have some fun when your next pedicure rolls around.

Burberry Beauty tea
© Copyright Burberry/Testino
Burberry designer Christopher Bailey hosted a tea in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of Burberry’s latest endeavour: beauty. The ad campaign was a study in statement style –the trench–paired with natural, glowing beauties–Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Lily Donaldson and Nina Porter. Guests at the Beverly Hills event included Kate Bosworth and Venus Williams who both epitomised this clean, luxurious new make-up line.
“We wanted the Beauty campaign to be completely iconic and the girls to be wearing really classic yet modern-fitting trench coats. We’ve chosen three British beauties, who we’ve worked with before and who are part of the Burberry family – Rosie has this effortless sexiness to her, Nina has an edge and attitude and Lily is a classic British beauty. When you put them all together, you have a pure Burberry expression,” Bailey explained.
It’s no secret we favour the designer, but even if we were totally neutral, this would be our new beauty regimine of choice (we swear)–sure to enhance your timeless style with a shimmery shadow or a light dusting of blush.

Maybe she’s born with it
Beauty brand Maybelline are quick to recognise the latest Youtube trend of vloggers, and even quicker to jump on board. V-logging is a format where stylish young girls preach to fellow fashionables about their latest style steals. So naturally Maybelline’s new collection has been specifically designed for the Internet savvy female.
The iconic line’s new range, MNY, offers teenagers a vibrant spring collection of fuchsia blushers, blood red lipsticks and coral green eye-liners. Appealing to a new wave of shoppers taking advice from the ‘haul girls,’ Maybelline hopes their new dynamic goods will get a vlogging or two!

Fortune cookies
Blame it on the warm weather, but sandal season means your toes must look the part. Leave the memory of scratched/ chipped nails bundled up in gloves for winter months, because come June it is high time to break out the varnish. OPI is obviously a favourite, affordable polish that even the best salons push so it’s perfect for us as well. In addition to the line’s pink, matte, brights and suede collections, OPI has gone global featuring shades reminiscent of South Beach, India, Spain and Hong Kong. The group hailing from the southern Chinese city has a bit of everything from this year’s favourite Jade and sky blue to more traditional red and pink hues, an array of lavender shades and even a rust coloured option. With names like ‘Red My Fortune,’ ‘Hot & Spicy’ and ‘Dim Sum Plum’ we dare you not to try a shade (or get hungry for some tasty dumplings). Shop all OPI on LynkU.

Tanners paradise
Whilst we strongly encourage all of our fellow shoppers and fashion-lovers to lap up the sunshine this weekend, we’d caution you to avoid those pesky UV rays. If like us, you’re in search of the perfect sunkissed glow to enhance this season’s ivory-nude-bone colour swatches, we’d recommend stocking up on House of Fraser’s assortment of self-tanners and bronzers.
At this point luscious bronzing powder has become a daily beauty ritual. Dust a bit on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, even out over the neck, and it looks like you’ve just returned from a weekend abroad. Elizabeth Arden’s mineral infused powder is silky light and creates a natural radiance. We don’t know about you, but our stems always seem to lose their colour quickest. Not to worry, because Michael Kors’ bronzing stick gives your legs a healthy shine for only £22.
Self tanning lotion, once loathed for its false hope of even skin colouring, has also become ingrained in our skincare regimen. Our generation has updated the classic cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise procedure with the amendment: apply self-tanner. Lancome’s Soleil gel is specially formulated for your face, whilst Clinique’s Sparkle Skin gently exfoliates the skin. Clarin’s mousse rejuvenates your outer layer, and St. Tropez’s delicate formula gradually tans the face, achieving a natural golden colour. Try Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess– spray on evenly for a full body tan.
Keep your skin healthy and glowing with bottle tans this season. Shop House of Fraser’s assortment on LynkU.
