VERSACE H & M ROUND 2!!

So apparently I'm a tad late with this but the Versace madness is set to continue when H & M collaborate with Donatella once again on a smaller but oh so delightful Spring 2012 collection.

Think fun ice cream shades, fruity prints and lashings of gold jewellery.

The collection is due to go on sale in January 2012 exclusively in countries with online sales. Fingers crossed a bikini or two will pop up in one of the Dubai stores!!

Backstage at Versace for H&M

I loved the make-up look at the Versace for H&M Fashion show which took place in New York a couple of weeks ago.

Channeling the young Donatella, models Lindsey Wixson, Abbey Lee and my new girl crush Daphne Groeneveld were made up with smokey winged eyes and glowing skin. Nails were painted a deep aubergine colour for a glam rock and roll look.

The final look keyed by make-up artist Tom Pecheux

Want to recreate the look at home for this year's party season?

1.Firstly, don't freak everyone out and bleach your eyebrows. As the main focus is on the eyes simply brush through the brows to keep them neat.

2.Taking a black eyeshadow, try 'Carbon' by Mac sweep across the eyelids starting from the inner corner and take this out just above the socket line. Blend as far out as you feel comfortable with, I would suggest stopping just where your eyebrows end.

3.Apply a highly pigmented silver over the top - apply above the lash line to just below the crease and blend out.
Smudge a small amount of Vaseline or gloss on top of the silver to increase the contrast between the matte black shadow and the silver.

4.Take the black eyeshadow just under the lower lashline and line your waterline with a black eyeliner, try 'Smoulder' by Mac. Finish with lashings of black mascara to define the eye or pop on your favourite eyelashes for extra glamour.

5.I would suggest keeping the rest of your make-up quite low key, a slick of clear gloss or a matte nude lipstick like 'Velvet Teddy' by Mac should do the trick.

Et voila!

Versace va va voom!

YES DONATELLA!!

VERSACE FOR H&M FEATURING LINDSEY WIXSON, DAPHNE GROENEVELD & RIVER VIIPERI!

1 WEEK TO GO!!

So I'm rather excited about the Lanvin H & M collection (though being in Dubai right now I'll probably miss out on most of it) but I'm super excited the collection has extended to lipsticks too!

How yummy do these look?

At a mere £7.99 I think I could buy the lot.
The women's collection seems to be getting most of the attention but if I can get my hands on a pair of the men's metallic Oxfords in a size 6 then I will be super happy.

What's everyone else hoping to buy next week?

Some images I've enjoyed looking at over the last week.
