Lip Service
When it comes to lips, women these days seem to think the bigger the better. Big lips are definitely a trend right now, and unfortunately, some people will do almost anything to get them.
When Kylie Jenner got her new lips, her social media following started to soar. People began to think if they had big lips, they would get a following as well. That’s when the #kyliejennerlipchallenge started. People were sticking their lips into water bottles to make them swell up and look like they got injections. Yikes!
Sparkly Spit
We present to you, glitter tongues! This shiny trend seems to be mostly for the crazy photo ops that come with it. Thank goodness, because we can not imagine spending a day with our mouths filled with glitter.
While doing some research about this tongue trend, it seems to have started in Australia. A makeup artist accidentally got some glitter on her tongue and thought that it looked pretty cool, so she covered the whole tongue in glitter for a photoshoot. The rest is history. Be careful if you try this one - glitter can be toxic!
Fascinated How This Became a Trend
This trend originally stemmed from a very British requirement that all guests must wear a hat to a wedding. That simple requirement somehow morphed and spread worldwide into the "fascinators" fad today.
These feathered and funky headpiece creations range from the beautiful to the downright bizarre. Ahem... we're looking at you, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice!
Idolizing Ikea
When you spot an enormous blue tote bag in the wild, the first thing that comes to mind is IKEA. Maybe that is why people have begun to make their own clothing and accessories out of these huge Ikea staples.
While wearing an Ikea bag dress sounds tempting, we are pretty much sold on the original version, A HUGE BAG. You can quite literally fit anything in those bags! They are great for carrying chairs, sporting goods, laundry, literally anything. The straps fit nicely over the shoulder and it is a very useful little item, not to mention reusing it is a great way to recycle!
Lolita Lovers
Did you know that the term Lolita came about from describing a certain type of Japanese street style? It began being a popular term in the 1970s. Lolita Fashion is very layered and quite modest.
It is actually inspired by children's clothing from the 1900s, which keeps it very modest and put together, while also still looking very cute. Basically, you look like a cute, old-fashioned historic doll!
