Just My Luck from Stila

To celebrate the release of new movie, Just My Luck, starring actress/singer Lidsay Lohan, celebrity makeup creator Stila have come up with a limited edition make-up set. The movie tells the story of Ashley, a young professional who just graduated from college. Apart from that, Ashley always took her life luck from granted and lived a super-charmed life. During a costume party, Ashley accidentally kissed a handsome stranger (played by Chris Pine) and her life changed suddenly. The kissed swapped her good fortune away and in return, received the stranger's horrible bad luck, turning her life into a living hell.

For Just My Luck, two limited edition items are created by the celebrity label. They are Just My Luck compact palette (left), which features a metallic casing and two limited edition colors, Lucky Peach (warm palette) and Lucky Plum (cool palette)Three new shades of shimmery eye shadow, one new shade of blush with an added hint of pearl, and one lip color are included to complete the look. The other is Limited Edition Kajal eye liner with crystal tattoo. To use it, first line with onyx kajal eye liner, then shine your eyes with the easily applicable mini Swarovski crystals. Also available for the limited time is the It Gloss in Lucky, a beautiful shade of pinky-bronze that can be worn alone or apply over the lip color from Just My Luck Lucky palettes.

Just My Luck collection is available for a limited time at your nearest Stila counter starting next month. If you can't wait any longer, get it online at Stila's online store.

FROM THE STYLE DESK

Hello my darlings,

I was never a fan of Stepford Wives. Even though it’s just a work of fiction by late Ira Levin, I simply find the storyline distasteful – an atrocious depiction of a man’s ideal utopia: a suburb or state of mind, tuck from the rest of a normal society somewhere near Connecticut where men will always be kings and women will bow to them as slaves.

And although I really love its main character Joanna Eberhart, her ending – she became one of the Stepford Wives at the end of the story, along with her rebellious neighbour Bobbie - was something I did not expect. But thank God, Nicole Kidman did not suffer the same in the latest version of the movie (err, is 2004 still considered as ‘latest’?)

However, no matter how profound my hatred is on Stepford Wives, be it the novel or the films, I could never hate their vibrantly coloured wardrobes and classic silhouettes, epitomising the poster housewives’ look of the post-war age. Well, easily said, think of what you often see on Katy Perry’s svelte body.

Now, good news for Stepford Wives’ style worshippers – the Stepford style is back to haunt your wardrobe come next year’s spring/summer season. Yes, that’s what my trusted source says and I ain’t kidding you!

So, what can you look forward too? Well, for starters, one can look forward to sundresses and day gowns with skirts blown up to full proportion, tartans and fruity floral prints like the cherries, lemons and pomegranates to name a few.

As for evening, stash some cocktail rings in candy hues, pantsuits in jewel toned Thai or shantung silk or dramatic drape evening dresses with elegant silhouettes or with generous embellishments. Ah, what a nice mix of style to shoo away those cloudy economic days next season.

Anyway, those that I mentioned above are just some of my predictions. What’ll be in stores for next season? We’ll never know until the fashion week curtains are raised within the next few days. So, before we parting ways, always keep that positive mood on 24/7 and let’s embrace the incoming season with lots of fun-filled roleplays!

Kisses and Hugs,
Shaiful

COPIES ARE UNCOOL!

I know how tempting designer goods are and many would do anything to get their hands on them. And since an original bag would set us back at least a one full-year salary, then the only way left to satisfy our temptations is by buying either fakes or replicas.

You see, to create something that's lustworthy and iconic is not an hour or two task. It takes not just months but even years for designers to come with something regarded as the 'it' thing by the world. And do you know that it takes more than 20, or sometimes up to 100 working hours for a craftsman to put an 'it' bag together, compared to the mere 3-5 hours taken by a machine to do the same thing! Painstaking? Yes, it is!

And what's more, I hate how the way many replica or fake branded goods-selling websites boasting how they could create the similar thing using so-called new technologies and stuff.

Just put yourself in the shoes of an artist who has been working hard to get his name and creation well-loved and recognised by the world, and you certainly feel the pain and agony he or she feels, even though the fashion house might be paying him thousands or millions in monthly salary.

So people, start reconsidering what you're doing. It's never to late to save your money for something that's worth your hard work all these years. Besides, designer bags will always be in fashion even when their 'it' days have long gone. Support real designers and say NO to replicas and fakes.
