bye bye 2012

{via}

A big thank you to everyone for the love and support this past year! 

2012 was an amazing year and we can't wait to see what 2013 has in store. 

Wishing all of you, your families and friends a Happy New Year! 

new year's eve beauty: dramatic makeup

Greet the new year with a fresh face by pumping up the drama on your new year's makeup.

Try a dramatic smokey eye made festive with glitter eyeshadow. Pick a swoon-worthy shade and back it up with smudge-proof mascara and waterproof eyeliner to keep your eyes flashing into the wee hours! Tip: keep your lips neutral to balance the look.

Not in the mood for a moody eye? Go bold with your lips to ring in the new year by making your mark. Try a bright colour like vibrant fuschia to make the most of your statement smooch. Tip: prep your pout with a lip scrub to make sure your colour goes on evenly and prime your lips to make it last.

blossom's fabulous friends {Anna with Love}

We are so excited for the lovely Anna Tsoulogiannis from 'Anna with Love' who has just re-launched her online fine art photography store. Blossom was first introduced to Anna on instagram and was so impressed with her photography talent that Shauna {blossom's equally fabulous owner} chose Anna to do Blossom Lounge's 2012 winter lookbook. Anna is such a genuine talent and we wish her huge success in her new endeavor! Here's a sneak peek!
