Yellow yellow dirty fellow. Or maybe not.

According to The Daily News Online, yellow has been announced as the influential color of 2009 by Pantone, which provides color standards to design industries. 14-0848 Mimosa, a warm, engaging yellow, has been specifically cited as the top shade in the new year but generally, Pantone expects the public to embrace many tones of yellow. “In a time of economic uncertainty and political change, optimism is paramount and no other color expresses hope and reassurance more than yellow.”

Review: MOMO makeup brush set

Makeup brush set

I’ve been hunting for a foundation brush to replace the Erth kabuki brush that “died” on me. I wanted something affordable and after reading various reviews, shortlisted that from Eco Tools and Everyday Minerals. I almost placed an order with Everyday Minerals because the company provide international shipping but before I did, I got to find out about the MOMO Brush Set from Momo Minerals and that they were going for a 30% discount! In addition, the company is right here in Singapore and I can save on the shipping!

Muted Coral Pink Shine
Although there was a fair selection of colors but I still thought the options were quite limited and it took me awhile to find something suitable. In the end, I picked up 370 which is a muted coral pink shine because I wanted a slightly different color from my usual.

I was running through the beauty and makeup trends for 2009 and came across some interesting information.  And the one I agree most is that 2009 will focus on the ingredients and benefits of beauty products according to LancasterOnline.

“Consumers are caring more and more about what they put on their faces,” Shannon Nelson, spokesperson for Pierce Mattie, a company who forecasts beauty trends, said. “Green and natural are the way that beauty is moving and ingredients are key.”
