Naj Oleari is a beloved Italian brand that garnered extraordinary fame for its original patterned fabrics inspired by nature, which were applied to every kind of accessories. Many of those symbols became iconic especially for young people of the ’80s generation obsessed with designer labels.
This year, Naj Oleari Beauty is ready to come back and tell its new story with the launch of a complete make-up line (50 products – 200 references), packed in rose gold for a modern and refined look. The mythical illustrations of Naj Oleari adorn the details and finishes of every product. Compacts and lipsticks are made with innovative magnetic closures that make them even more practical and elegant.
Furthermore, it is the first time that a make-up line has been made with perfumes created exclusively by Maitre Parfumeur. Lipstick smell like marshmallows for example and nail polishes like fig sorbet.
Tonight, I attended the launch event in Zurich on Bahnhofstrasse at WeSpace. The room was divided into different corners with several activities, from getting your hair braided or a professional make-up look to a photo booth. My favorite part was to make my own lipstick. I wanted to create a perfect nude shade and mixed white, red and brown.
First, I had to melt the wax, then I added some glitter and raspberry extract for an anti-aging effect. The hardest decision was to choose the scent. Vanilla and coconut convinced me the most. After that, I had to go back to the stove to melt everything together. The liquid was filled into a small compartment and put for 20 minuted in the fridge. Et voilà I have the best smelling nude shade.
Thank you for this experience! Naj Olevari is available from end of March at all Müller drugstores in Switzerland.
LoL, Sandra

Layering is the absolute must next winter, with plays on texture and volume in a masterful game of accumulation.
After Gucci announced that it won’t be using any more real fur, many brands have followed the movement.
The only «real» fur trending next season is sheepskin which seems to be the natural choice for a cold weather wardrobe.
One of my favorite trends: the comeback of the cape, so versatile and easy to put over even the biggest sleeves.
Checkmate! Checks are at its best in fantastically mad all-over and color-blocked looks.
Classic Saville Row fabrics such as herringbone, glen plaid, and houndstooth look richer than ever. Enter the season with some swagger and a great men’s overcoat.
Wild West feeling! Fashion looked to America to discover the New World through Western accents.
Black leather is out in full force. Rock your glam power woman silhouette with an sophisticated attitude to take the idea from Matrix remake to decidedly modern.
With a sensual masculinity and a boudoir elegance, those runway looks proved once again that nightwear is not restricted to an evening in.
From Brigitte Bardot’s beehive to Jackie Kennedy’s pillbox hat, and Mary Quant’s geometric prints, every ’60s fashion icon’s style has been revisited this season.
I don’t remember one season without any florals on the catwalks. F/W 2018 is no different -perennials come in every charming varietal – most important update is the three-dimensional effect.
This season, scarf prints are worn all over the body for a vibrant and flowing appearance.
With all these vibrant looks on the runway, clean, lean, and chic-white seems to be a very welcome alternative. Think: Maxi in length and slim in silhouette.
Think Dynasty in the ’80s where the focus was on glamorous eveningwear: sensual and festive frills.
