GIRL_SPRING 08_POS

The Armani Spring 2008 Collection is all about looking fresh and feminine, with a touch of colour. Skin is translucent with a slight iridescence, lips are highlighted with light soft colours, and eyes pop with a contrast of light, iridescent and vivid colours.

I just adore the makeup on campaign face, Sasha Pivarova, she looks just exquisite.

FACE
Luminous Silk Powder
Luminous Silk Powder, a Micro-fil pressed powder formulated with spherical silk-like ingredients, glides seamlessly onto the skin without settling into fine lines. The combination of matifying powders and ultra fine luminous particles blend and tone the skin leaving a perfect sheer radiant, matte finish.

Fluid Sheer Radiance
Imparts an iridescent light and brightens the complexion with a flush of sheer, fresh colour.

Lancôme L.U.C.I

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Lancôme’s Spring 2008 Collection L.U.C.I (Luminescent Colorless Color Intelligence) is receiving a great deal of attention due to it’s futuristic ‘Photonic’ technology - white, completely pigment-free makeup, which transforms into a veil of iridescent, shimmering colour depending on the angle and the light.

L.U.C.I colours are divided into two categories: rays of light with warm tones (Ray of Pink Light and Ray of Apricot Light) and cooler tones (Ray of Green Light and Ray of Purple Light). Colours will look pastel on a fair skin and appear deeper and more intense on a darker skin. The result is makeup that is in harmony with each wearer’s skin tone.

L.U.C.I Eyes
A stunning eyeshadow duo encased in a futuristic seashell. The white L.U.C.I eyeshadows transform upon contact with the skin and become a transparent veil of colored lights, which diffuses in a myriad of tones: from apricot to pink, from purple to green.
Available in Ray of Green Light, Ray of Purple Light and Ray of Apricot Light

PHOTONIC – Illuminating Powder Brush Face
This glowing, translucent photonic loose powder can be used to sculpt the face or add a sheer veil of radiance.
Available in Ray of Apricot Light

COLOR FEVER SHINE - Sensual Vibrant Lipshine (Limited Edition)
Luminous, sheer colour with a texture that melts into lips.
Available in Pink Flora, Raspberry Ouvea and Fuschsia de Nova.

L.U.C.I COLOR FEVER SHINE - Sensual Color Veil Vibrant Lipshine
The L.U.C.I. Color Fever Shine stick transforms upon contact with the skin and becomes a transparent veil of colored lights, which diffuses in a myriad of tones.
Available in Ray of Pink Light

COLOR FEVER GLOSS - Sensual Vibrant Lipshine (Limited Edition)
An ultra-shiny and luxurious gloss that redefines the lip contours with its Plump Applicator for sensual, full curves and adjustable shine and coverage.
Available in Fuchsia Koh Kan

L.U.C.I COLOR FEVER GLOSS - Sensual Vibrant Lipshine
This gloss magnifies the lips with an iridescent white finish in transparency, thanks to the new L.U.C.I. technology.
Available in Ray of Purple Light

Cover Girl Outlast All-Day Colour

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

This month Cover Girl launches the new look and updated colour palette of Outlast All-Day Lipcolour. Pat McGrath, world renowned make-up artist and Global Creative Design Director for P&G Beauty, assisted in the design of the latest 23 shades - taking her inspiration from fashion textiles art and theatre. She also helped to organize the full palette into six shade families: Pinks & Roses, Mauves & Berries, Corals & Reds,Naturals & Nudes, Browns & Spices and Burgundies & Wines.

Newly infused with botanicals, each lipcolour offers an improved, higher chroma shade range for brighter, more noticeable lips. What I really like is that my colour lasts for up to 16 hours without leaving my lips dry and flakey. The improved top coat keeps my lips soft with shea and cocoa butters and Vitamin E - it evens tastes like vanilla - yum!
