Febraury 2013 sees the dawning of the Chinese year of the snake and international brands are getting in on the celebrations, with Adidas, Puma, and Mac, among others, bringing out their own limited edition zodiac inspired offerings.
nimal prints have been big news on the catwalks for the last few seasons, and this trend is set to run into the next season. This makes the snake a particularly attractive and versatile design inspiration for fashion houses. In ancient China, a snake entering the house was said to bring good fortune- all the more reason for getting in on scaly trends this February!
We especially love Mac’s serpentine make-up palette, which combines vibrant shades with metallic finishes. The line includes skin illuminating bea
uty powder, confident eye shadow contrasts, and intense pops of pigment. Eyes are defined with bold, luxuriant zoom lash mascara, and power-point eye pencil gives deadly razor sharp lines.
Those born in the year of the snake are said to be particularly sensual, and this is reflected in the voluptuous pout created with the line’s accompanying lipsticks. All products are adorned with chic snake inspired design, making them the perfect gift to yourself to kick of the new zodiac year. And who knows, maybe that little snake in your make-up bag will bring some luck into your life in 2013!
