We have got to give it up to Cushnie et Ochs and the MAC Cosmetics team one time! The two collaborated to produce a very glam look for the Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2017 runway show. Every model’s pout was blessed with a boisterous touch of color. What beautiful makeup has us all in an uproar. Feast your eyes on the Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips!
Cushnie Et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!
Going down couture memory lane, several seasons ago two tone fashions were all the rage. Every dress, skirt and jacket had to be multiple tints. Now it looks like the face is getting the same treatment.
The Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips incorporated bold shades of red and pink. The inspiration behind the look came from the film Scarface. Since we weren’t alive when the iconic film was released a quick Google education filled in the gaps.
Actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s character is one sassy siren! Moreover, her attitude is an alluring mix of Marilyn Monroe, Rihanna and Kate Moss rolled into one. A famous line heralded by Pfeiffer is, “Don’t call me ‘baby’. I’m not your baby!” Ugh, like totally obsessed now!
What we also liked about the two tone lip is that it looks great on a multitude of skin tones. Sometimes it seems that not every runway look translates that well on all skin colors or in “real life.” Nevertheless, we felt Cushnie et Ochs versions worked on all the girls and looked absolutely lovely.

NYFW is keeping it ninety-nine plus one right now in the hair department. From the shows we have witnessed thus far it seems as though hair trends for next year will be fresh and modern. One look that we are currently dying for is Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair. This hairstyle is simply a Californian’s dream!
Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair
Growing up in Socal your life consists of sun, beach, wind, bonfire and water. The old wash, rinse and repeat. Even with such consistency Cali life is relaxed and glamorously cool.
People love our laid back style out here and we love to serve it. Beachy waves and slick hair screams Cali girl because we all like to think of ourselves as fashionable, water sports lovers addicted to Ventura Boulevard. Maybe that is why we went B-A-N-A-N-A-S for the Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 wet hair.
The overall look is slightly damp hair with more defined waves towards the front that loosen closer to the ends. As a result, hair looks youthful and voguish. We love this hair and thought it complemented the fruity, printed and light palette of the Altuzarra designs nicely.

With the amount of time spent in front of screens (comps and cellies) it was only a matter of time before social media habits crept into our love lives. On dates we constantly see couples more glued to their smartphones than the eyes of their SO. Location updates, food pics, restaurant check-ins have also become on-the-date norms. Moreover, if that wasn’t enough, you can also kiss old school conversation good-bye while you’re at it. Chats, DMs and texts are the new wave of communication. With this tech dating reality among us you may just wonder, what social media says about your love life?
What Social Media Says About Your Love Life
We’re all doomed! Just kidding, no need to go running out into the streets in full on Godzilla panic just yet. However, taking a closer look at your love life through the lense of social media could still do your relationship some good. These days, we’re all just one meme away from love bliss or detriment.
New studies and research is now frequently being done to understand the inter-workings of social media and the impact it has on human relationships. One recent finding showed that those who clocked more hours than their love on social media made a big difference. Alright girls you can exhale. It turns out if you are the one putting in more time than a part-time job at Forever 21 your relationship may not take a beating. However, guys didn’t fair as well in this case.
Husbands and boyfriends that hit up social media platforms more than their wives and girlfriends caused more problems in the relationship. The study found when the scales were majorly tipped in this way couples argued way more often. Researchers believe that men that log more time online may be doing it to seek support.
Their suggestion? Talk to him. Communicate with your guy to see what’s going on in his life. Maybe there is something bugging him and you are just the gal who can help it get fixed.
Ain’t Nothing Like Emoji Party
We hope you sang that heading with your best Tupac voice (LOL). Anyway, we digress, back to the topic at hand. Let’s get into: What Social Media Says About Your Love Life when it comes to emojis!
Emojis freaking make the world go round. If you are anything like us you most likely need a 10 step program to stop the addiction. Feeling flirty? There is an emoji for that. Need your man to know you hungry and hangry? Shoot… a couple emojis all lined up and looking purr-ty will having know what’s up. In a nutshell, emojis help to paint a picture for your dude easily and simply.
Well, good news fellow emoji abusers! These cartoon-ish gems actually help to amp up intimacy among other things. A popular match site decided to find out the truth about emojis through a survey. Their findings? They found that 40 percent of people who engage in using multiple emojis during conversations tend to be more frisky and go on on more dates.
The use of emojis shows that a person is fun, playful and has a sense of humor. Since texting, chats and DMs by themselves can be quite stale. Emojis liven up a convo with the quickness.
What Social Media Says About Your Love Life – Brag So Hard
Hey when you’re proud you’re proud right? In this case naw, that is very wrong. We’ve all seen it. That one person who posts WCW and MCM like they have recently found out their love life was going to be chronicled by Disney.
You are happy at first, but then 80 posts and 6 days later it gets to be just too much. Researchers have begun to agree. A recent study came to the conclusion that a person who constantly bragged about their boo actually has an insecure bond.
Insecure? Eek, doesn’t that word just give you the heebie buhgeebies? No one likes insecurity to be apart of their intimate relationships. Insecurity wrecks havoc if left unchecked. One partner can begin to suspect wrongdoing and you can forget about trust.
Nevertheless, the study went on to show that couple profile photos were just fine. Actually, couples that displayed such pics demonstrated higher relationship satisfaction. The lesson? Don’t overdo it when it comes to showing off your love. Sappy posts are fine, but it find yourself vomiting out post after post from your cell phone it may be time for self evaluation. Furthermore, researchers also suggest assessing your connection with your love bug as well.
Let’s Conclude
Love is more than a hashtag, photo, like, comment or shoutout. Get into some of the retro practices like phone calls, dates with out phones present (put it in a purse or pocket) and saying the words, “I love you.” As nice as it is to shout to the world how much you love someone its even sweeter to be shown how much someone cares.
Actions speak louder than words and the Gram. They are stronger than a tweet, snap story or FB post. Relationships have stood the test of time throughout centuries because two people decided to spend quality time together. Therefore, communicate without the screen and any post will be just icing on the cake.
