5 Fashion Trends That Will Continue To Dominate 2018

Berets

Yes, there’s an IT trend for headgear this year! In a world full of shabby baseball caps and snapbacks, stand out from the crowd and opt for a classy beret. Oozing with sophistication, you never have to worry about another bad hair day when you’ve got this stylish Parisian-inspired hat to keep your mane in place. Play around with different materials and colours, or you can play it safe with a basic black beret. Either way, you’ll be sure to look très chic.

Statement Socks

Wait what...Who would have known that the very item that’s often overlooked is now a trend? In fact, it’s the best time to rock those statement and high cut socks. What was once considered a fashion faux pas is now being embraced by fashionistas worldwide, paired with sneakers or even heels and mules! Socks and heels, you read that right! Love it or hate it, this trend is definitely here to stay.

Fanny Pack

This trend might raise a few eyebrows but not for the ultra stylish Jenner sisters as they have been spotted with this fashion trend for awhile now! As a convenient option to bags, it’s a hands-free way for you to carry your daily essentials without straining your shoulders. Turn something that was old-fashioned to a trend, we love it worn as a crossbody bag or you can still wear it around the waist like the 1980s. Who’s judging?

Retro Sunnies

Think skinny and slanted frames with coloured tints. Retro sunglasses are now making its way back into the trendy game, straight out from the costume set of The Matrix. What was once rocked by the hottest celebrities in the 90’s (we’re talking Aaliyah, Britney Spears, Winona Ryder) is now donned by 2018’s new batch of Instagram starlets and IT girls, and they’ve never looked cooler.

BLAQMAGIK LVRS - 90's Red Cat Eyes Shades (RM49)

Athleisure

To be fair, this is not the newest trend. However, we can see it breaking out even more in 2018 for obvious reasons! Stow away your LBDs and tight tops, strut out in comfy athletic clothes and rock your trusty pair of leggings from the gym to the bar (throw on a cute camisole and denim jacket for that chic factor). Got a favourite football jersey or boxy jacket? Throw on some feminine heels and a statement necklace. Voila!

Get The Best Makeup Look Just In Time For Holiday Season!

It is never too early to welcome the holly-days! Malls, restaurants and popular streets are already decked out in festive gears, so why shouldn’t you?After all, it IS the most wonderful time of the year.

Now we are not saying you should preen like a Queen, but there are a myriad of ways to make your look more wearable for a night out with your girlfriends and even full-blown parties! Read on to get some tips on how to look made up without much effort every time.

Va-Va-Voom Eyes

Not to sound cliché but the eyes are the windows to your soul, so what better way to decorate your window with some eye-catching (no pun intended) colours. Skip your regular eyeshadow for a rich sparkly hue and blend a darker shade into the outer creases of your eyes for some depth and dimension. If a sparkly eyeshadow sounds too intense for you, swap the look for a milder option with a coloured or glitter liner, which is also great to add a subtle glimmer to your peepers.

Peripera – Liquid Glitter Shadow (RM40)

Lakme – Shine Line Eyeliner (RM36)

Lustrous Cheeks 

Adding a blusher is a makeup step that is often overlooked in our daily rush-to-work routine. But that swoop of colour on your cheeks can actually brighten up tired skin and highlight your cheekbones! Not to mention, it looks extra flushed when you are under the “ahem” mistletoe. Bonus! Opt for a pink base shimmer rather than the usual champagne or golden hue for an extra touch of rosiness. If you are staying out late for a party, use a cream blush so it stays on longer for a blushing great night!

Sleek – Makeup blush (RM85)

Peri Pera – Ink Highlighter (RM30)

Bold Lips

You don’t need someone to kiss in order to show of those puckers! First, keep your lips plump and moisturized with a hydrating lip balm. Once you have smooth canvas to work on, play around with some colours! A bright red shade is usually the trend during the festive season but feel free to play around with different textures and colour shades. Go for a totally metallic lip or if you prefer playing it safe, opt for a classic gloss for a full, juicy pout. Remember to tone down your eyes if you want your lips to be the focus of your look.

Bbia – Pigment (RM30)

Duck – Glossip Girl Lip Gloss (RM60)

Sparkly Nails

Rejoice! Tis the season to bring out the brightest and most glittery of all nail polish shades. Just remember this rule of thumb, neutral and tonal hues are great for short nails as it helps elongate your finger while dark and gothic shades add a dramatic flair to longer nails. For an added dazzle, coating your polish with a layer of sparkling gold shimmer will accentuate your fingers and nail that look! Just be sure to protect your nails with a topcoat polish before applying all those layers.

Nail Inc – Gold Rise and Grind Nail Polish (RM60)

Pony Effect – Nail Lacquer (RM25)

Have fun experimenting and be sure to #shopprapp so we can feature your holiday look! 

Our Favourite Muslimah Fashionistas On Instagram

Ranked as one of the top most downloaded mobile app, Instagram has solidified its spot in everyone’s phone. From foodies, fashionistas, to globe trekkers and even meme lovers, there is a place in Instagram for everyone. Being more than just a photo-sharing app, Instagram is now - more than ever - a tool of self-expression and representation.

Much like a fashion magazine, Instagram is now the easiest platform to showcase your outfits and personal style, turning the discover feed into a style catalogue that screams to be followed. Muslimah fashion is fast emerging as a catalogue that is on trend now and we’ve scoured the scene to discover these 10 favourite fashionistas that are parading beyond headscarves and baju kurungs (a traditional Muslim wear). Bold, beautiful and modestly dressed, these ladies show us how they break beauty stereotypes while looking absolutely stunning!

This wide eyed beauty is making heads turn everything. From chunky platforms to boots or even a fresh pair of kicks, there's no denying she has her shoe game on deck.

Big on minimalism, this UK designer makes simple yet timeless pieces look so good! With her own line of modest-wear clothing with globally renowned brand - Uniqlo, Hana Tajima is no stranger to the fashion world. With muslimah fashion being relatively difficult to locate in popular stores, Hana aims to change that by designing ready-to-wear clothes that are easily attainable. Hana's style will add a fresh and clean feel to your Instagram feed, with earthy and neutral tones being the main theme on her account.

10 Step Korean Skincare Crash Course

If you have ever marvelled at the porcelain skins of TV stars while watching your favourite K-dramas, you're not alone! Yes, luminous skin can be achieved without layers of makeup or expensive treatments, and it can all be attributed to the infamous 10 step skincare routine that most Korean women swear by! Yup, that's 1,2,3...10 steps - an impressive upgrade from the regular cleanser, toner and moisturizer regime that most of us are familiar with and we can definitely see amazing results. Feel lost? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Here's a breakdown of each step to make it easier for you to attain that gorgeous skin!

Step 1- Remove All Makeup

The first step of this extensive skincare routine is to, of course, wipe off all the makeup on your skin. Nothing clogs pores more than makeup residue on the face so never miss this important step! An oil-based balm or cleanser is ideal to break down all traces of makeup, including stubborn waterproof formulas. 

Banilla Co - Clean It Zero (RM75)

The Body Shop - Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (RM55)

Step 2 – Use Water-Based Cleansers

You may think double cleansing is unnecessary but we promise you, it is worth every effort! Cleansing with a water-based cleanser after removing your makeup further ensures that all irritants and residue are completely removed from your skin.

Too Cool For School - Eggzyme Foaming Cleanser (RM49)

Sulwhasoo - Snowsie Cleansing Foam (RM29)

Step 3 – Exfoliate Dead Cells

Exfoliating is crucial for the removal of dead skin cells and other build-ups that can cause clogged pores. By removing the old layer of skin cells, a brighter and cleaner face is revealed. However, exfoliating should not be done every day (we think once a week is ideal) as overdoing it may irritate the skin and make it more sensitive.

Skin Food - Black Sugar Foaming Scrub (RM36)

Dermalogica - Daily Microfoliant (RM291)

Step 4 – Tone It Up

After cleansing and exfoliating, it's time to balance your skin and restore PH levels with toning. It also preps your skin to better absorb moisture from other products. For oilier and acne-prone skin, natural anti-bacterial toners that contain tea tree or witch hazel is great at targeting larger pores. If you have drier skin, a hydrating toner or lotion is great to restore the moisture level of your skin. 

Thayers - Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Astringent (RM51)

Klairs - Supple Preparation Toner (RM75)

Step 5 – Apply Essence Layers

The bridging step between toning and treatment, an essence is applied in a form of a thinner texture to further improve the moisture of the skin. Considered as the most notable step in the entire regime, Korean women swear by this miracle step that allegedly aids in cell turnover rate, unveiling fresher and clearer skin.

Innisfree - Green Tea Essence (RM59)

Belif - Numero 10 Essence (RM132)

Step 6 – Get Targeted Treatment

Everyone’s skin differs, and there are a million treatments in the market targeted towards specific skin concerns. Be it acne, enlarged pores, wrinkles, sun spots, targeted treatments such as serums or ampoules can be applied on the skin to address such issues.

B.liv - Blackhead Sebum Gel (RM159)

The Face Shop - Clarifying Spot Calming Ampoule (RM126)

Step 7- Slap On a Sheet Mask

Definitely the most fun and relaxing step in this regime, sheet masks are extra soothing and beneficial to the skin. Aside from the purifying attributes of sheet masks, putting on a soothing sheet over your face for 15-20 minutes to unwind after a long day of work sounds heavenly! Packed with concentrated serums that further hydrates and nourishes your skin, the thin material of the sheet mask allows for the most efficient method for product absorption.

Faith In Face - Let It Glow Hydrogel Mask (RM11)

Etude House - AC Clean Up Sheet Mask Twin Pack (RM20)

Step 8- Care For Those Peepers

The eyes truly are the windows to your soul and also the part of your skin that is most delicate. Therefore, making sure that you properly hydrate and treat the area around your eyes is most important to minimize puffiness. With a suitable eye cream, it's time to bid puffy eyes and dark circles goodbye!

Cosrx - Honey Ceramide Eye Cream (RM89)

Benefit - It's Potent Eye Cream (RM180)

Step 9 - Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Phew! 8 steps down, 2 to go! Seal in all your hard work with a final moisturizing layer. In our hot climate, it's important to hydrate religiously in order to maintain that dewy glow. Those with oily skin tend to shy away from moisturizers for fear of even oilier results but the secret is to find the best moisturizer for your skin type. For normal or oily skin, water-based or gel formulas are a lightweight option. However, thicker and heavier creams should only be used for drier skin.

Biotherm - Aquasource Everplump (RM195)

Step 10- Shield From The Sun

We cannot stress enough on the importance of sun protection during the day, even in gloomy weather! UV rays can really damage the skin, making it more sensitive and prone to darkening of scars and stubborn spots. And if you are worried about premature aging of your skin, make sure to apply sunscreen every time you head out the door!
