Taking Shape SS14 preview

Hiya!

Who's ready for spring?! I know I am and spring for me is all about brights - think daffodils, tulips and all the other brightly coloured flowers which signify an end to the long, cold and dreary winter.

When the images for Taking Shape's Spring/Summer 2014 preview landed in my email I was very pleased to see a lot of green and other vibrant colours. I know the Pantone colour of the year is radiant orchid, but for me it's all about jade green. I think it's going to be massive.

I love this dress. It seems to hang like the Taking Shape dress I reviewed previously.

Those faceted beads are gorgeous!

I'm not a pastels girl at all. I'm all about bright, in-your-face colours so this preview really makes me happy.

Have you seen anything you like here? Other than the green Elm dress, I love the Envy as well, and guess what? It's green!

Thanks for reading!

Some bright MUA single eyeshadow swatches

Hello lovelies.

I have 5 bright MUA shades to show you today. All photos can be clicked for larger looksies.

All swatches are done dry on bare skin (no primer.)

Shade 8 - is a sparkly blue-green

Shade 9 - is a lovely purple-blue shade with depth

Shade 21 - is a muted dusky purple

Shade 26 - is a lovely blue shot through with gold

Shade 31 - is a straightforward turquoise

My fave shades are 9 and 26. I couldn't capture the sparkle in 26 adequately, but is really is beautiful.

These shadows are £1 each from Superdrug.com, Superdrug stores and the MUA Store, who ships internationally.
