Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Liquid Eyeliner Video Review

Liquid eyeliner is a super important product for my everyday make-up - the signature “cat-eye” would be simply impossible without it. So of course its quality is a quite crucial factor, because nothing is worse than smudged or crackled “wing tip”. Using Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Liquid Eyeliner I don’t have to worry about things like that, I know it’ll stay in place for the whole day even in heat and humidity. Watch the video below to find out what else I love about this product!

Sky, sea, sapphire...

Karen Millen top, shoes,
7 For All Mankind Skinny in Blue/Black Techno Weave,
GUESS? earrings

Blue is one of the essential colors this Fall season; it has easily transitioned from the world of “haute couture” into “ready-to-wear” and is now represented widely in stores with more mass appeal.

GUESS? by Marciano Maritza color-block dress, $198

GUESS? Classic tie-dyed shirt, $98

GUESS? Tara filter flower trouser, $89

Offering a vast range of shades from bright cobalt to dark navy, designers suggest mixing and matching them in one look in order to create complex texture and depth. Black and blue is another “winning” combo which was all over the runways this Fall 2012.

GUESS? Glori bootie, $129

GUESS? Rolene mid-heel pumps, $90

GUESS? Studded leather tote, $158

Strongly incorporated in both clothing and accessories, blue is elevating its status from being a “neutral” to the “new black” of the season. Don’t hesitate to throw on a pair of azure suede pumps with an orange dress or to add a bright blue bag to your business suit ensemble – they will enhance the main features of your look without competing with it.  

P.S. Make-up is another way to integrate blue into your style! Blue eye-shadows, eye-liner and even blue mascara are all great tools to do that. Use one at a time or all three (like I did J), the only rule is to have fun!

Stylish wedges

The wedge trend is one of the hottest pretty much every Spring and Summer which is no surprise considering how perfect wedges go with the light and skimpy hot weather wardrobe. Cotton sundresses, wide linen pants and slinky rompers – all of them will only benefit from shoes like this. Cork, wooden or with printed canvas, wedges will not only add extra height and length to your legs but will also inject some fun and visual interest to your entire look. And let’s not forget about comfort – wedges are definitely at the top of the “comfy” list.

BCBG Max Azria Gazelle ankle-tie wedge, $250

Fortunately wedges will not leave with the last rays of the hot summer sun and bravely step into the sometimes cold, sometimes rainy autumn season. This Fall, designers will give us the chance to fearlessly walk through puddles in our bold, sky-high wedges that will showcase our lean legs and elegant looks.

Digital art

Karen Millen dress, Vicino shoes, Kate Spade handbag,
Roberto Cavalli watch

Digital prints are one of the most spectacular trends of the current and upcoming Fall season. Inspired by 70's pop-culture and executed with the finesse of modern technology they are like a small art exhibit on your body. Colors, shapes and forms in these prints are transformed and altered and even traditional florals convey a completely different futuristic feel.

Karen Millen Blue feather print tank, $85

Karen Millen Butterfly wing print dress, $299

Karen Millen Fluid marble print dress, on sale for $75

Karen Millen Paint splash knit jacket, on sale for $99

Karen Millen Mirror print T-shirt, on sale for $80

Considering the intensity of digital prints there is no need for extra accessories. Styling should be fairly simple and work to showcase the real star of your look. Pick the rest of your outfit literally like you would pick a frame for a picture.
