The Prada Spring Summer 2015 Disheveled Brow

Arianne Suggs May 19, 2015May 19, 2015Leave a Comment

In an instagram world where brows must be the epitome of perfection, Prada chose to go a little different route. Prada’s beauty look for spring/summer 2015 incorporated the disheveled brow. This unkempt look had emphasis more on just the outline of the brow instead of the full on cha-bang. The disheveled brow is like the beauty nod to the messy, bed-head look proving that you don’t always have to be absolutely perfect to be considered beautiful.

No doubt you have probably already fashionably feasted on the Burberry ad campaign featuring the lovely Jourdan Dunn. Here at 1966 we are always on the lookout out for more and more lip colors. We loved the the light, airy yet demure tint of Dunn’s editorial pout. For the campaign Jourdan rocked Lip Cover in Devon Sunset No.28 with the color being spread across her lips then applied more intensely right in the center of her mouth. The result was absolutely fab!

Giambattista Valli’s Dress Your Lips Collaboration With MAC Cosmetics

Arianne Suggs May 15, 2015May 15, 2015Leave a Comment

Paris-based designer Giambattista Valli will be releasing a fresh lip color collection in collaboration with makeup powerhouse M.A.C. Cosmetics. In regards to the much anticipated release, Valli says,

“I’m very well known for dresses, no? And I thought it was very nice, the idea of dressing your lips… For a creative person, collaborating can be frustrating because you feel that you’re limited or stuck within someone else’s ideas, but with MAC it was 100 percent freedom and 100 percent support just to make my idea become a reality, to pull out my flowers and my sense and my emotion and put it into the color.”

Well, we are totally stoked about this collection and can’t wait to try out the various tints and shades. Colors in the M.A.C. Giambattista collection range from very light pinks to deep purples and plums. Therefore, what type of lady would this collection work for the most?

Giambattista Valli dished,

“The best thing about makeup is that a lipstick can really change your look. If you never wear color on your lips and then one day you wear red, everyone just goes ‘wow! I made these for a woman with personality, a woman who lives her life and isn’t afraid to wear color and isn’t afraid to kiss!”

Shea Butter-A Natural Jewel

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 8, 2015May 8, 2015Leave a Comment

We have talked a lot about the use of natural products when it comes to skin as well as haircare. There is a reason why our grannies used shea butter and passed the torch and beauty tip down to us. Shea butter is an all natural product that comes with numerous benefits.

Shea Butter has natural antibacterial properties that make it great for preventing stretch marks, wound healing and it can also be used as an anti-aging treatment for skin. With so many products on the market right now that are chalk full of chemicals that can irritate our skin, shea butter is a refreshing alternative. Nevertheless, do not just think that this jewel of nature can only do wonders for your skin. Shea butter also can work its magic on your hair, but we’ll discuss more on that in a future post.

Arianne Suggs May 8, 2015May 8, 2015Leave a Comment

We are living in the age of the selfie so it is important that all T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted. Everyone has there own style when taking a pic for the Gram, FB, Snapchat or Twitter; but, one thing for sure is that we all want to look perfect. From our heads to our toes we must sparkle and shine like a superstar.

Speaking of sparkle…is your smile gleaming and beaming like it should? Coffee and various foods can leave teeth stained causing them to look yellow or dingy. Shine your pearly whites on up by applying a little baking soda right on your toothbrush and then brush your teeth like normal. Doing so will help whiten your teeth restoring them back to their old glamorous look.
