What caught our eye this week? Eye-popping hair powder and colourful kicks for spring
STEP INTO SPRING
As lovely as this mild winter has been, it can seem neverending. Springtime really is just around the corner. Get ready to ditch your black, salt-stained boots for a pair of bright, happy sneakers. Converse has debuted a stylish footwear collection for spring in a delicious variety of show-stopping shades. Spanning the spectrum from saturated to subtle, choose from colours like nectarine, iris orchid and Aruba blue.
TURN HEADS WITH COLOURFUL TRESSES
Admit it — at some point in your life, you’ve been tempted to dye your hair a shocking shade. Maybe you were inspired by Avril Lavigne’s bright pink locks or Katy Perry’s blueberry ’do, or maybe you’ve toyed with the idea just for the fun of it. Either way, chances are you’ve probably stayed away from the peroxide bottle for fear of ruining your natural hue. Say hello to Kevin Murphy’s Color Bug — a highly pigmented powder in orange, purple and pink that rubs right onto your hair for a dramatic, one-time look. It can be used on naturally light or dark hair to create a few subtle streaks, two-tone ends or a full head of commitment-free, eye-catching colour. “I was initially inspired by women in India who put coloured powder in their hair when they get married,” says Kevin Murphy, stylist and founder of Kevin. murphy salon products. “Colour is so important in fashion; it changes an entire look.”
