Trend Prediction Fruition - Yellow Eyeshadow

Back when I started this blog in November 2009 ... on November 9, 2009 to be exact ...

I predicted "I foresee gorgeous washes of yellow eyeshadow for Spring and Summer 2010. From soft, daffodil pastels to bright, saturated neons to gold infused shimmers - yellow eyes will be where it's at."

And now, from Christina Aguilera in her controversial "Not Myself Tonight" video to Napoleon Perdis' Spring Cosmetic Collection, yellow eyeshadow is blooming everywhere! (By the way, I don't see what all of the fuss is about with Xtina "copying" all these other artists for the video. Hello people - the song is called, "Not Myself Tonight" - do we not see the irony here? Oye.)

I received a sampling of Napoleon Perdis' Spring Cosmetic Collection and was thrilled to find not one, but two yellows to play with!

In Perdis' Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad #6 there is a bright, matte purely pigmented yellow for those bold enough to rock the shade in it's glory. Try using a wet angle brush for sharp accents as eyeliner.

I also received their Loose Dust in Shiny Gold #1. Worn alone, this creates a sheer, shimmery wash of yellowish, gold. Try blending the color from lashes all the way up to the brow bone for a soft, but bold look.

MeSheeky

"Damn ... those booties look good wearing MeSheeky!!"

That is the precise thought that has rolled through my nut-tastic head every time I've glanced at the adorable MeSheeky ads.

You've seen 'em ... in your yoga and fitness magazines for the past couple of months.
Cheeky "sheeky" ads for a darling and useful product.

MeSheeky makes very clever studio to street wear in the form of hip hugging skirts you throw on over your yoga/workout pants.

Who hasn't wished for these when exiting a vigorous vinyasa class with a sweaty crotch as a souvenir?

MeSheeky is the BRAZILLLIANT brain child of acclaimed yoga teacher Sarah Tomson Beyer. (Billed as Chief Executive Sheekynista on the website - how much do we love her?)
I feel a trend coming, folks ... good bye leggings and Uggs ... hello MeSheeky!

Be sure to browse their selection of chic, hip, sexy layering pieces here:

Trend Prediction for 2010

Beauty - The nude lip in both glossy and matte finshes will make a come back in reaction to the bright pink pouts of 2009.
AND... several less expensive versions of the "Clarisonic" sonic face brush will come out and will revolutionize the way we cleanse our skin.

Fashion - A return to classic lines and looks of the 50's and 60's. Leggings will hold on, but paired with soft fitted sweaters and button down shirts a la Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. The fitted, belted dress will be a wardrobe must.

Fitness - Shorter, tougher, extreme work outs featuring body weight training.

Nutrition - The whole, unprocessed food movement will continue to grow. Responsible, sustainable food will take precedence. Look for added fiber in everything. Eating LESS ... not just eating a certain type of food will be stressed as the key to health and losing weight.
