If you're the type of girl to match her shoes to her handbag to her hairband, then this matching True Religion Zuma Bikini and Cover Up will be just your style.

The casual sexy vibe of True Religion denim is captured in this boho-chic set with a very Malibu color palette. The paisley print is fun and relaxed, incorporating lots of summer hues.

A triangle-top string bikini top is paired with a moderate-coverage bottom. The stylish twist? A denim band and rhinestone button adorn the waist - a great conversation starter that will give you a chance to name-drop the designer. (We know you matchy, matchy girls - that's your thing.)

Top it all off with the matching sheer paisley blouson cover up. Slit sleeves and a deep V-neck with ties give this just the slouchy look you want when lounging by the pool or sea.

The zuma bikini, however beautiful, unfortunately is not suited to the bigger bust since the small triangle top would not offer much support. This bikini is designed for petite women and is therefore only available in the size 'small'.

True Religion showed their summer 2010 swimwear collection at the Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami on Jun 17th 2009, with mix and match separates. Tone on tone colors, tie-dyed prints and textured fabrics put a creative spin on the brand's traditional aesthetic.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Waterproof Makeup | Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Swim Eyeliner & Cosmetics

AndreaT — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:11:05 +0000

Ever wonder how models and actresses come out of a pool looking super perfect with not only flawless skin but lipstick and eyeliner in tact? High-quality waterproof makeup. We're talking stronger than your waterproof Maybelline Great Lash.

While there probably aren't many underwater runways in Miami, fashion industry favorite Make Up For Ever is highlighting their Aqua waterproof line at Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Swim which runs July 15 - 19. (We'll totally be bringing you all the swimwear scoop!) As the makeup sponsor, a lot of swimwear designers will be using the brand's products on their models.

The range includes Aqua Eyes liner, Aqua Lip, Aqua Smoky Lash, Aqua Black and Aqua Creamliner. The model at right is wearing Aqua Eyes in #7L a terrific pool blue for a techno bright rim of color, but you can also smudge it all over your lids for a long-lasting eye shadow alternative. The eyeliner comes in a virtual rainbow of shades since it's often used on photo shoots.

The biggest downside to waterproof makeup is how hard it is to remove. You don't want to be left with turquoise eyelids for days, and waterproof mascara in particular is a toughie.

Being sort of insidery, Make Up For Ever also isn't available everywhere but you'll find it at Sephora, natch. The products range from $17 to the mid-$20 area, which is pricey, but they do last a long time and you'll notice the higher quality if you're used to drug store fare.
