Get Poisoned With Toxic Nature

Illamasqua Launches It’s Shocking New Makeup Line!

Illamasqua’s new makeup line, Toxic Nature, is based on the idea of nature fighting back against the genetically modified society that invades it. The Toxic Nature collection consists of acid-infused brights as well as muted tones. Here’s what Alex Box, Illamasqua Creative Director, had to say about the creation of Toxic Nature:

“Having an artist background highly influenced this collection. The medium of paint when it is in various states [mixed on a palette, on a canvas, the colours mutating when you wash your brushes] inspired the product colours of Toxic Nature. Blends, washes, dabs, drips, daubs and splashes of colour are evident in the imagery of the collection.”

Here’s a rundown of the products:

1. Cream Pigment ($17.00) in Emerge (Peach), Bedaub (Mint), Dab (Lilac), Hollow (Toffee), Delirium (Rose Taupe), and Mould (Grape).
2. Precision Ink ($17.00) in Glister (Glistening Nude).
3. Lipstick ($15.50) in Atomic (Fuchsia) and Flare (Orange).
4. Sheer Lipgloss ($13.00) in Torture (Coral) and Divine (Pink).
5. Nail Varnish ($13.50) in Purity (Peach), Bacterium (Pearl), Radium (Lime), Stagnate (Mauve), and Gamma (Orange).
6. Toxic Claw ($35.00) is a set of two false nails created by manicurist, Mike Pocock, and inspired by the colors in Toxic Nature.

Toxic Nature is available online today illamasqua.com, and in Sephora this April. In the meantime, check out the crazy-bright ad campaign above!

The Most Perfect-for-Spring Nail Laquer

Although it may look a bit crazy, it's absolutely perfect. Just think- we've been slowly making our way towards the end of winter for seemingly forever, and although at times beautiful with the aid of Manhattan's first snowfall, we're finally ready for it to end for good! And what better to get into the spirit of Spring with a gorgeously fun nail color?!

Although I still adore OPI's Alpine Snow, I'm definitely ready for something a bit more season-appropriate. And, I have the most perfect replacement- Rescue Beauty Lounge Yellow Fever Nail Lacquer ($18)! A bright sunshine yellow, Yellow Fever also adds a bit of gold shine to it's opaque shade- just enough to lighten up anyone's outfit, as well as their mood, as a great reminder that Spring is here!

Vegas Style Spring Brights

Stand Out In The Vegas Nights With Spring Brights!

Las Vegas is famous for it's gambling, flashy clubs, and neon lights. To some, it's hideous. To others, it's beautiful- especially when you consider how much of an impact it has on fashion! Just think Gucci Fall 2011 at Milan Fashion Week (left). The bright aqua and violet shown throughout the line wouldn't work anywhere else, but this season, it'll be all over Vegas! Here are some options for any budget:

1. Betsey Bowie Tote in Magenta ($268). We absolutely love this oversized bag by Betsey Johnson! It's bright color makes it stand out against other bags, and the small details like studs and fringe will be present all throughout spring! Plus, the mini lips keychain is far beyond adorable!

2. Swatch Animal Silicone Swatch Watch ($55) in Animal Blue. This Swatch watch incorporates both the ever-present animal trend with fun zebra print, as well as the bright trend! The face of the watch is neon blue, and it's sure to be a standout piece!

3. Bling Tank ($26.50). We love this fun tank top from Victoria's Secret PINK! It's loose-fitting racer-back style is uber-trendy, and the rhinestones add just the right amount of glam!
