Midnight at the Oasis

Last week we took a look at the upcoming trends for winter. The latest trends - tweed, beige, opulent textures and a rainbow of colour - will be complete only when paired with the chicest of accessories and freshest make-up looks. While putting together the upcoming winter issue we have pulled together the hottest in accessory and beauty trends to complete your winter wardrobe.
Bold is beautiful
When it comes to eye shadow, a stunning bouquet of colour is bound to brighten up your beauty regime this winter. The new smoky eye takes on a new life in a paint box of dark, bold colours. Decadent shadows in an array of punchy purples are the perfect complement to your new camel-shaded garments. Deep denim-inspired blues will make a prominent appearance not only in your wardrobe but in your beauty bag, too.

Luscious lips
If you're ready to rock bold eye colour this coming winter, try to stick to demure yet lustrous nude lip colours. We can't wait for March to roll around so we can get our hands on M.A.C's latest line of lippies - Sheen Supreme. It's tough when a girl has to choose between either a gloss or a lipstick, so M.A.C has come up with the perfect solution - a lipstick which combines the strong, saturated colour of lipstick with the lightweight feel and shine of a gloss.
Bootylicious

They'll still be around, but this winter we won't be seeing quite as many thigh-high boots; something we're thankful for because, unfortunately, most of us don't have the legs of a supermodel to pull them off. Instead, we'll be seeing a plethora of boots and booties in delicious chocolate and caramel shades, plus ever-elegant, classic black leather. So far, our standout pieces are from United Nude's autumn/winter range - we will be getting our hot little hands on at least one pair of their ultra-cool booties with the chicest structural heels.
It's in the bag
We will admit, as much as we love summer, we can't wait to start indulging in the latest trends. Sophisticated beige and neutral hues will revamp your wardrobe and your accessories, too.
If black leather isn't for you, then come winter, invest-pieces include handbags in luxurious camel. The luxe pieces are sure to become timeless staples in your repertoire of accessories.
