The Internet went Drake crazy this week with the release of his new song and his mesmerising dance moves (which were made into many, many gifs).

But now the rapper is the muse behind a new shade of Tom Ford lipstick.

Featured in Ford's second annual Lips & Boys Collection, a capsule collection of lippy inspired by inspiring male figures in the designer's life.

Drake's namesake shade is a shimmery burgundy plum hue. The lipstick (also available in a mini-sized tube so you can take Drake everywhere with you) will launch with the rest of the collection on TomFord.com on October 30.

We all know Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of Mariah Carey. 

Every corner you turn, All I Want For Christmas Is You blares from the rooftops, and there really is no escape. 

But now, it seems Mariah isn't only going to be on our radios as MAC have revealed they are collaborating with the pop princess. 

The MAC x Mariah Carey Beauty Icon full collection won't be released until 2016, but to whet our appetites, a frosty pink lipstick will be hitting stores this December. 

MAC, who themselves describe the lipstick as a frosted champagne shimmer, said: "One swipe makes lips as fierce and timeless as the icon herself."

The rest of the collection is under wraps but we're excited to see what more is to come. 

"It's a major lip moment!" said Mariah in her Instagram announcement. 

It sure is Mariah!

Now, we've come across a fair few weird make up trends over the past few years, but this one takes the crown.

The new trend comes straight from Milan Fashion Week is probably one of the most strange we've seen – especially on the catwalk. 

Models donned many a runway wearing bold lipstick on their lips… AND eyes. 

Missoni and Anthony Vaccarella models graced the catwalk with bold reds, blues and yellows covered across their eyelids and brows. 

Now we know Fashion Week is meant to determine what trends we will all be wearing next season – but we just can't dig this. 

Can you imagine walking into Coppers donning this trend?! Yep, didn't think so.

If you're in any way a fashion kinda girl, these amazing trends will have you jumping head over heels.

From check coats to Loub lipsticks, it seems this A/W is the best season to make a style statement. 

 

1) Check it out

Plaid is a no-brainer when it comes to looking cool in the cold weather, but be careful not to play it too safe this season. Go for something eye-catching to make you stand out from the crowd. This Miu Miu A/W 2015 coat is perfect for making a statement. At nearly €5,000 though, it might be a little out of our price range, so we spotted this fab Topshop replica

 

2) Louboutin lippy

Christian Louboutin, the luxury shoe designer, now wants to dress women from head to toe. In recent months, the designer launched Loub lipstick, in a whopping 38 shades. The make-up packaging is very art deco, but also comes with a big bonus – you can wear it as a necklace or earrings. Fancy. Never lose your lippy at the bottom of your bag again!

 

3) Join the Krewe

You may not be able to join Gigi Hadid's squad, but you can definitely copy her Krewe – sunglasses, that is. The model is a huge fan of the indie eye-wear brand, which crafts handmade frames inspired by a city's culture. They go for nearly €200, but if that's a bit pricey, we spotted these great ones from River Island. 

 

4) The braidy bunch

It's time for the fishtail trend to move over as there's a new twist in town: cornrows. But don't worry, we're not talking Alicia Keys dodgy hair do' circa early 2000. Celebs like Amanda Seyfried, Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez have all sported the trend recently.

Celebs soften the look by just doing a few plaits up top and letting the rest of the hair fall into loose waves. 

 

5) The NEW statement bag

From Gucci's runway show it seems there's a new statement bag on the scene and we're VERY fond of it. Gone are the days of flashy, bright bags as luxury labels are sporting a more paired back, minimalist style.

Dakota Johnson and Rosie Huntington-Whitely are all major fans of the trend. If you don't fancy spending nearly €2,500 for it though, we spotted one here for a tiny fraction of the price.

A lot of lipstick/movie mash-ups are happening at the moment – but we have to admit, this might be our favourite one. 

After the Harry Potter lipstick line was launched a couple of weeks ago, Potter fans went crazy. 

But now it's time for Disney princesses. 

LA Splash have incorporated Disney's most iconic characters into their all-new lipstick line. 

The 12 lip colours play homage to everyone from Ariel to Nala and even the Evil Queen. 

As you might expect, Ariel is a soft and feminine pop of pink while the lippy named after Alice in Wonderland is a quirky off-track purple. 

Big names like Cinderella and Pocahontas have been overlooked on this occasion. 

Sorry Cinders, not this time. 

But we're hoping that means they're saving them for a follow-up line.

Late last year, Tom Ford released an all-new lipstick collection called Lips And Boys

It was hugely popular and sold-out within weeks.

And now, he has just announced that an updated range will be coming back for 2015… and it can be yours for around €2,000. Ouch. 

The 50-shade collection will have all the best from last years lot – plus 25 new shades will be introduced in a variety of colours – and once again, they'll all be named after men (just like the first collection).

The new lipsticks use the original formula… which admittedly is an absolute dream to work with. There’s Soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamelia flower oil which all nourish the lips and make application really easy.

They hold a deep shot of colour too so there is no worries about this beauty fading or rubbing off – it's there to stay. 

If you want to splash out and get the collection it's not available until November… so start saving!

Or if you just want one or two shades (rather than the whole lot), they can be sold separately at just under €40 a pop. 

The Lips And Boys second collection will be available in Brown Thomas or on the Tom Ford website.

World famous luxury shoes can now be all yours. Well, sort of.

The iconic Louboutin brand have branched out from their famous heels and unveiled their latest creation for the masses.

Last year the brand launched a signature nail polish collection so it may not be considered a huge leap for the Louboutin name. However, any make up addict is sure to be all over these lovely shades, because not only does the product itself look great, the packaging is gorgeous too.

There are 36 different shades in the collection with three varying textures for you to choose from too. Ranging from Silky Satin, Velvet Matte and Sheer Voile which were inspired by the brand’s handbags.

Naturally the collection would not be complete without their signature red shade making an appearance, Rouge Louboutin is of course one of the many they have on offer.

Another sweet feature for the lipsticks? The cap has a tiny ring on the top that you can thread something through, ideally a fancy ribbon according to the brand's images. The idea being you can then wear your favourite lipstick all day long both as an accessory and as lip colour.

Lipstick jewellery is probably something we thought we left behind in our childhood, but Louboutin does add a certain luxury to the concept. Describing the new venture Louboutin said:

"This precious object will be coveted by others. Suggesting a purse full of rare and precious stones that could have been discovered in Ali Baba's cave, it will arouse lust and desire…and is made to be stolen." 

The one downside to all of this glamour, the price tag is pretty hefty. The lipsticks are set to retail for around €80. We petty start saving our pennies now to be prepared for their arrival on Irish shelves.

Kendall Jenner has unveiled her new shade of lipstick for Estee Lauder… and it is to die for!

The 19-year-old model made the announcement on Instagram yesterday with a snap of herself wearing the lipstick saying “my exclusive @esteelauder lipstick shade #Restless is out today! = where it’s at #KJ4EL”

The new shade, Restless, is a colour the model chose herself and retails at €26 on the Estee Lauder website. It comes in a black and gold tube with Kendall’s signature written neatly on the bottom.

This lippy is the perfect classic matte red lipstick with just a hint of orange and sounds like just what we need for the summer months.

Estee Lauder also tweeted its support for Kendall saying: "When @KendallJenner comes up with her own lipstick shade, you know you need it: #Restless"

Kendall was appointed the ambassador for the cosmetic giant in November last year and since then has released a fragrance and now her own shade of lippy.

Estee Lauder definitely made the right choice getting the social media powerhouse that is Kendall Jenner on board – and we are sure this product is going to be a sell out.

There’s a new beauty craze on the scene and we are a little scared of it if we’re honest! Having said that, we’re also completely intrigued…

If you, like so many of us, have tried nearly everything to rid your eyes of dark circles, then the beauty world may have the answer for you.

No, it isn’t a fancy cream or some kind of terrifying surgery, it’s actually most definitely in your beauty routine already.

Red. Lipstick.

Yes, red lipstick used as an under-eye concealer is said to make dark circles disappear! But is it too good to be true…?

Many of YouTube’s beauty bloggers have been giving the craze a go, some are in favour whilst others claim it’s just an extra step you don’t really need.

We took a look at two of these bloggers; the first being Deepica Mutyala whose video on using red lipstick as concealer has gone viral with more than four million views.

 We also watched a video by beauty blogger Elko who says it’s just more effort than it is worth. 

Will you be trying out this new beauty trend for getting rid of those pesky dark circles?

American colour company Pantone have announced Marsala to be 2015’s colour of the year. Pantone describe the deep burgundy colour as: “an earthy red wine that embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated earthiness.”

Needless to say, we are completely obsessed with this beautiful, rich colour and wanted to think of lots of ways to use it in our beauty and make-up routine.

It’s time to shake off the black and bring in Marsala for an easy and sophisticated update to your look.

Nails
Marsala is such an incredibly beautiful colour to use on your nails and easy to find too. Just look for what you would consider to be 'burgundy' or a red-based wine colour and you're there!

Hair
If you're feeling like you want to change up your hair colour, then Marsala is the perfect colour to choose. Sophisticated and trendy, this look will see you right through to summer. 

Eyeshadow
It may seem like a daunting prospect to put a red colour on your eyelids, but this can actually work out beautifully. Use with gold to really make your eye make-up pop. 

Lips
Dark lips are seriously on trend right now, and with some searching, you can find the perfect shade for your skin tone.

First there were ‘no make-up’ selfies to support breast cancer and the water bucket challenge to raise money for ALS, now there is a new selfie trend!

Celebrities such as Georgia May Jagger have now joined the #SmearForSmear social media campaign, which was started by UK charity, Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust in a bid to urge women to undergo smear tests.

The move comes as the European Cervical Prevention Week is in full swing, with women across Ireland being urged to undergo a smear test. Cervical cancer is the second most common female cancer in Europe, with over 300 cases diagnosed in Ireland each year. 

Cervical Check Ireland have also launched their #ShareTheWisdom campaign, urging women to encourage one another to go for a smear test.

The nude lip is back! It can be daunting to know the right way to rock the nude lip, is it too light? Too dark? Should it blend in with my skin tone? 

Here is how to wear a nude lip with every skin tone:

If you have fair skin like….Blake Lively
If you are quite fair, it is best to stick with nude lipsticks that have a pink undertone.

If you have medium skin like…Mila Kunis
If you have slightly more tanned skin, you can afford to go for a slightly warmer undertone like a dark dusty rose/beige colour. Just make sure it is slightly darker than your skin – you don't want your lips to disappear! 

If you have olive skin like…Kim Kardashian
​Olive skintones will pop with a gorgeous shade of caramel or medium beige. Once again, the trick is to ensure the colour is darker than your skin colour. 

If you have darker skin like… Rihanna
Darker skin has the ability to carry off some fierce lipstick colours without washing out the skin tone. Deep beige and brown will perfect the nude lip and warm undertones will complete the look.
