Day 2, actually night 2, found me attending Blogger’s Night Out at The Caulfield.  Blogger’s Night Out was created by bloggers for bloggers and it’s a great way to meet and network with other fashion/beauty bloggers from all over the country.  People came dressed to the nines and de place was jam packed!! I definitely picked up some new style ideas!  The event also featured booths hosted by various sponsors showing the latest trends for spring and summer.

This booth was hosted by Plastics Make It Possible

Hey!!

So New York is in the throws of New York Fashion Week – Autumn/Winter’12.  There are models, designers, makeup artists, bloggers, photographers running all over the city!

So last Thursday, Mattie from Mattielogie hosted a mixer for fashion bloggers of colour.   I loved the idea of meeting other bloggers of colour especially in an industry like fashion.  Since fashion and beauty go hand in hand, I found myself at Pranna.   Pranna is a SouthEast Asian restaurant that is beautiful and huge!  I definitely need to return for full dinner.

Recent M.A.C. swatch: Vintage Grape Blush Ombre from Daphne Guinness

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

So the Daphne Guinness collection from M.A.C. came out right after Christmas and there was only one item that I wanted from this limited edition collection –  the Vintage Grape Blush Ombre.  The Blush Ombres were first introduced about 2 years ago with the Spring Colour Forcast collection.  I missed out on this and all everyone spoke about were these blush ombres; how versatile, how amazing, how cute etc.   These things sold like hot bread and I showed up after de bakery closed!

So I promised myself to pick up Vintage Grape if it was ever repromoted.  And here it is!

My favourite products of 2011!!

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

The countdown to 2012 has begun!!!

I enjoyed digging into beauty this year.  I loved that we embraced colour, texture, prints or anything bold.  It was ok to colour block or to dress with some opulence.  I love that these trends will continue into 2012.  I’m over all-neutral looks.

So here’s what I loved in 2011 (in no particular order):

1) Becca Beach Tints

I love this product! I have it in Peach and it is probably the easiest blush to apply.  Super smooth texture and it just melts into the skin making to colour look like it came from within.  Works on all skin types.  A must have in all seasons!
