FOTD: Pop of Purple + Radiant Orchid Lips

This week was all about the Pantone Color of the Year for 2014 which is Radiant Orchid. As promised, I posted a look featuring this color. I chose to wear OCC lip tar in "Hoochie" for orchid-colored lips. I also did a pop of purple in my inner corner to complement my lip color.

Radiant Orchid: My Beauty Picks

As I mentioned in my previous post, Pantone has named Radiant Orchid the color of the year for 2014. This is the second in a series of blog posts that I am doing on this.

 I have already declared my excitement due to purple being my favorite color. I cannot wait to make a trip to Sephora and get some items from their collaboration with Pantone.

I have selected a few of my favorite beauty products in the Radiant Orchid shade. Enjoy!

Pantone has named Radiant Orchid to be the Color of The Year for 2014. You do not know how excited I am because purple (all shades of it) is my favorite color! This is a great color to have fun with! Especially with lipsticks, because you all know that I am a lipstick junkie :). This week I will be doing posts on Radiant Orchid and products that I love with this shade. Also, stay tuned for a makeup look!

Pantone Color Of The Year: Emerald Green

This year Pantone chose the Emerald Green as the Color of The Year for 2013. Pantone describes the color as "Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony." 

I think that emerald green is a rich and vibrant hue that works wonderfully as an accent color. I created a look inspired by the color of the year. It's a great way to brighten up a neutral look.
