The days are getting longer and it's no longer dark at 3pm; yep, it's almost official that winter is over, or at least on its way to being over and with that we bring you some hot beauty news for spring.
There is a lot going on in the world of beauty for the upcoming months and it's important to be ahead of the fashion pack, with some key insider knowledge courtesy of FemaleFirst.
The fashion and beauty world has long been over winter, even before it had officially begun, as designers showed off their visions for Spring/Summer back in September.
Seeing as we've covered all the major hair and beauty trends, we thought we'd bring you some key beauty news to be aware of in the upcoming months, so you can impress your mates with all your insider knowledge.
We'll also be keeping you aware of all those key diary dates for fashion too in the upcoming weeks, but in the meantime, here's our Beauty Gossip...
Scarlett Johansson has just been officially named as the face of Dolce & Gabbana's new make-up range and we for one are very excited. Not only does this mark the first time that the fashion house has dabbled in the world of beauty, but signing Scarlett is a stroke of genius. Well known for her blonde bombshell looks and red lippy, she's the ultimate glamour icon for 2009.
MAC Hello Kitty Colour collection launches in March, and despite initial reservation over the collaboration, we can confirm that the packaging and uber-cute logo are officially to-die-for. The colour collection is, as you would expect very bright and almost childlike, but with MAC's expertise behind the project, you can guarantee quality and sophistication.
Black nail varnish is having a bit of a comeback for early Spring. Yes, we know we only just put ours away from all that gothic nonsense last year, but it's time to revisit it. Black nails will be coupled with a very neutral and sheer palette in terms of the fashion for Spring, to achieve the ultimate contrast.
Gwen Stefani's long awaited scent finally lands on February 1 to the UK and it's set to be one of the biggest perfume launches we've ever seen. Her Harajuku perfume is inspired by the Tokyo Harajuku girls and the bottles are just so eclectic and cute, you'll want all three of them. Which one will you be- Love, Lil'Angel or Baby?
