2014 Color of the year : Radiant Orchid

COY_brandpage_collection01_031314_image

Earlier this year, the color pro’s at Pantone announced the color of the year to be Radiant Orchid. This color is trickling down into both beauty and fashion and I absolutely love it. Such an exciting and beautiful color for spring and summer! The rosy undertones in Radiant Orchid give a healthy glow to the skin in a charming and lively way. The perfect mix of warm and cool undertones, this color will flatter so many different skin, hair and eye combinations. I am really looking forward to playing with this color in both makeup and fashion. Now let’s get to the goods – The reason I am posting about this today, is that Sephora came out with an exclusive line of Radiant Orchid inspired goodies that I thought my makeup loving friends might enjoy. Of course when I heard that Sephora had come out with a collection inspired by this beautiful color I immediately took to Sephora.com to compile my wish list. Here are a few of my favs…

{Sephora has their own collection and on the website, they also grouped together colors from all different brands that fit the Radiant Orchid palette}
