A year in Beauty

This fall, the beauty industry went crazy over chanel's jade polish, even more so than the infamous black satin. It sold out in under 40 minutes and you can find this £16 bottle for selling up to £100 on ebay. There are dupes, however none come really close.


Dolce and Gabbana brought out a makeupline, with scarlet johanasen as the face of the brand.
The makeup has gorgeous packaging but from what i can tell its not HUGE in the industry more like a gimmick.
Half shaved hair a la Cassie, not a trend to be taken lightly! Personally i think it look silly but alot of the celebrities jumped on this trend such as Rihanna, Amelle from sugababes, Alice Dellal.



Youtube Beauty bloggers, took youtube by a storm, such as Juicystar07, Allthatglitters21, panacea81 and Bubsbeauty. Some even having hundreds of thousands subscribers, some have even made careers out of it such as panacea81 who has her own range in sephora, a video game. Juicystar07 and Allthatglitters21 got invited to do makeup at New York fashion week. However there has been some controversy regards to paid reviews and reviews of products and how honest some have been. Check out my my friend, sarahbelle83x on youtube, she has a few thousand subscribers!


Ysl's glossy black lips, not for the faint hearted but caused a stir in the industry. It also inspired mac's Style black collection which featured a black lippie.
