Smashbox for Christmas

Smashbox’s holiday collection has been available for some time in the shops and they have very good kits for gifts.

I like the look they have created. It is a lot of makeup, but this is for the model only. It is an easy to wear look: a wash of shimmery purple on eyes, softly flushed cheeks and glossy pink party-ready lips. The following picture shows an smoky eye.

Owls in fashion

Owls are in everything these days. The interesting bird has left the obscurity of the night to come to light in jewelry designs, accessories, ornaments and even wrapping paper.

I remember Kelly Bensimon the former model-turned-editor-turned reality star in The Real Housewife of New York presenting her owl inspired jewelry line. Later on I saw “very similar” designs in Forever 21.

Owls are now in a lot of beautiful objects. I love the wrapping paper, that I saw in Decor8, it is different and cute. The hair band in the picture is by Marc Jacobs. I wonder for how long the owls are going to enjoy the light before going back to darkness.
