A Colourful Collab: STAUD and New Balance

In the middle of spring and approaching summer, we typically trade our neutrals, white, and black, wardrobe for pops of colour. STAUD and New Balance have recently launched a collaboration combining modern tailoring with classic athleticism and comfort. Collaborations between trendy on-the-rise brands and established favourites are usually a hit-or-miss. This collab is definitely one to keep an eye out for.

STAUD is a brand from LA is known for its vibrant hues and modern fitted clothing.

Designer Sarah Staudinger cites her muses as Princess Diana in her gym clothes and Susan Sarandon sporting New Balance sneakers in Cannes.

Sephora X ColourPop

ColourPop Cosmetics, known for their beautiful, cruelty-free, and affordable makeup, is partnering with Sephora to create an exclusive holiday line. The collection has 10 pieces and is available both online and in stores. If you're a fan of ColourPop, don't fret about this collaboration. Prices and quality will not suffer or change, but I would hurry quick though because these are definitely going to sell out within a few days!

Here are some of my favorite pieces down below.

Feelin' Fine Lip Gloss Trio

Colourpop lip glosses have great pigmentation and last a while. If you're looking for colors perfect for the fall, this trio is for you. Because they have a shimmery finish, I'd recommend dabbing the gloss on the center of your lip, but if you want to use it all over your lips, it'll definitely be a show stopper.

Golden State Of Mind Shadow Palette

This palette has a warm, shimmery finish. Perfect for the fall, you might ask yourself: would I want this though for the winter? During the cold weather, a nice wash with these eyeshadows over your eyelids can be that extra pop to your winter makeup look!

Amber Crystal Collection Bundle

This trio includes a crystal-infused setting spray, liquid highlighter, and lip balm. Crystal makeup was ColourPop's new addition to their regular line, so through this collab, you get to try 3 of their amber line (which is not sold on their main website). Like most of this collaboration, the amber will add a nice fall warmth to your makeup collection.

Legit AF Super Shock Highlighter Trio

ColourPop highlighters are buildable, so you're able to get the strobed glow that you want. This set has three shades, so if you want to give them as gifts, they're easy to divide as well! These highlighters are soft and have a unique-bouncy like texture, so I would recommend using your fingers for application.
