Triangl Bikini Fad/ Dupes

 I have been seeing Triangl bikini's here, there and everywhere since the beginning of summer. It's the new favorite bikini for everyone I follow on instagram and even celebs, like my favorite Kylie Jenner. I'm never normally to phased about bikini's but for some reason ( probably because everyone has one) I wanted one. But oh my $89 US or in English terms £54 for a little bit of waterproof fabric and some string? NO WAY. Are they really worth the price? 

What makes these overpriced bikini's so popular is firstly their adorable colour range, from Candy Pink to Las Vagus Lights, their unique design that to me looks like the inner lining of a bra (in a good way...kinda) and lastly the fact that they look so flattering on your body. I've also heard that they come with a mini black leather backpack to give you more bang for your buck.

Now you may be thinking, it can be a little treat for yourself or one of your splurge items for the summer. But with so many dupes around you may be able to save some big ones! I wasn't even searching for a dupe when I stumbled across one in Cotton On for only £12. Which I just had to buy even though it's a tinyyy bit to tight. The only noticeable difference between the two is that the Triangl bikini has a black outline around the whole top, while the Cotton On one only has a black outline in the centre. 

Cotton On also had a range of colours very similar to Triangl's, but sadly my boobs were too big (that's like a good and bad thing!)

Sadly the Cotton On website doesn't have any sign of these dupes but i'm sure if you look in the shops they'll be there. But Asos also do a similar styled bikini without the black detailing.

Kylie Jenner Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Kylie Jenner has been all over the gossip sites recently with her supposedly sending Justin Bieber nudes. But rumors aside, there is no doubt that she is absolutely stunning and like her sisters, the Kardashians, her makeup is always perfect. Kylie's instagram is like a personal magazine all about her. I have already taken inspiration from her hair style, hence the short cut. But now I think it's time to steal her makeup too! 

Firstly, using your normal foundation, powder and concealer make your face up but remeber Kylie's makeup is quite thick so apply it generously without making yourself look orange! 

Then its time to get into the detail of her makeup. Kylie's eyebrows are her defining feature, she wears them dark and bold so make sure you outline them sharply and fill them in with an eyebrow pencil. Pluck any loose hairs that don't fit well into the shape (It's best if you do this a while before you start your makeup but I'm not that organized) 

Kylie's is usually a smokey brown with an ombre effect. Start with a white shimmery base and highlight under your eyebrow, then with a light gold colour cover your eyelid. Once these colours are set go over the back half of your eyelid with a darker brow and blend well. This will give you eyeshadow that subtle ombre effect. 

I used the Naked 2 pallet to archive this look with the colours Verve for the white shimmer under the eyebrow, Suspect for the first covering of my eyelid and Snakebite for the dark smokey effect on the edge and finally a touch of Busted to darken it slightly. 

Apply black eyeliner to your water line and to the bottom of your eyelid to give your eye more definition and outline. Then use mascara to darken and lengthen your eyelashes, Kylie's eyelashes are always super long, so the more the merrier! 

Highlighter helps to brighten up your makeup and define certain aspects of your face. Kylie will usually apply it under her eyes, down her nose and above her eyebrows. Apply it lightly to these areas and blend it in so that its lighter but not too obvious. 

Using a mixture of light blusher and bronzer, highlight your cheeks and define your cheekbones by brushing the powers up your jawline. This will lighten up your face and help to make your face look thinner and more defined. 

Finally, apply a nude or pale coloured lipstick. Kylie often changes from dark lipstick to natural lipstick a lot but since this the eye makeup is so dramatic, a natural lip gives it the subtle finishing touch needed.
