TRIONA’S TRENDS

Roses are red, violets are blue, I’ve got lots of Valentine’s beauty, especially for you!

Yes, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and whether you’re a single Pringle or all coupled up, a gal’s gotta look good.

Far too many women choose bold eyes and bold lips, creating a look that is just a little too overwhelming when going for the sex-kitten look. It’s best to do one or the other.

For my picture this week, I decided it needed to be heavy on the lips, Harry.

I used my favourite Chanel lippie Rouge Coco Gabrielle, above right, €26.90 — it’s the perfect red if you’re teeth aren’t as white as you’d like, as it’s a very flattering shade.

To brighten your smile,

try Whizzer Whitening Strips, below left, €29.99 for a month’s supply. The makers claim the strips can transform even the most discoloured or stained teeth in a safe, fast, comfortable way with spectacular results.

They’re translucent, ultra thin and they dissolve in just 5-10 minutes. These strips can be used anywhere and at anytime without any mess or residues — before he picks you up for dinner, perhaps?

Finally, for a flawless face, try Lancome’s new foundation, Teint Idole Ultra 24H, €35.

It’s lightweight yet gives a good amount of coverage, it’s matt but not dry-looking, and, best of all, it stays put all day, yet it doesn’t feel like it’s stuck on. Happy V Day, gals.
