When I woke up after the New Years Eve, I felt terribly blue, so blue that I decided to pay tribute to the previous year by wearing something emerald. Then I’ve thought “what a better idea than showing you my favourite Pantone’s 2013 color of the year beauty products?”. Quite sentimental, right? Thinking about clothes and fashion, a deep green shade like emerald isn’t really easy to wear but it comes out to be anyway a style changer color.
