Pretty Package Design {04}

With Valentine's Day coming so soon, pinks and reds are what come to mind—a lot. These products not only are beautiful to look at, but make perfect Valentine Day gift. Don't you think? 

That Bond No.9 Andy Warhol Limited Edition fragrance is definitely a work of art and it includes a flower necklace. What about the Guerlain and Chantecaille powders compacts? Pretty packaging to make you pretty, of course. 

A beautiful scented candle by Diptyque will not only add an amazing scent to your home, but will add a touch of style.

Sometimes beauty comes in a simple package, and the simplicity of that Lancome nail polish is what makes it pretty, right?

Oh but that Save the bees compact by Chantecaille not only looks beautiful but 5% of proceeds will be donated to the Xerces Society to help protect bees and our environment. Amazing!

 

 

What do you think? Pretty, right?

World of Wonders: Radiant Orchid

As many of you already know, Radiant Orchid is 2014's Pantone Color of the Year! So what color exactly is Radiant Orchid? Well, Pantone describes it as a captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones... Sounds lovely, doesn't it?

 

Here's a collection of all things Radiant Orchid to get you started on this trend. A bit of color in makeup always works well and this color is everywhere from lipsticks, eye shadows to nail polishes. I personally love this color for nails. I think it's the perfect color for spring—which is still a few months away.

 

For this winter, a sweater like that Madewell would brighten up any wardrobe. Add a pop of color with a bag like that Liebeskind or with accessories such as that Luv Aj ring or those 3.1 Phillip Lim sunglasses.

 

Sometimes color can be added underneath it all, and that bra and undies set from Topshop will make you feel Radiant for sure!

 

 

 

Do you like the new "color of the year"?

Pretty Package Design {03}

I love these and I would love to have them all! Right?

I love anything Fornasetti, so that candle is of course amazing! That Lulu Frost for Bobbi Brown compact is gorgeous and I also love the Estée Lauder jeweled one, it's like having jewelry to apply your makeup!

Perfume bottles are usually pretty, but these two from Jimmy Choo and Thierry Mugler are a few of my favorite designs out there.

That Chantecaille compact is a definite winner! I can't even imagine being able to use that compact. It's like a beautiful work of art. Too pretty!

 

What do you think? Beautiful, right?
