CHANEL Fall 2008 Makeup Collection.

I cannot believe that I am getting information on Fall Collections already! I don't think I have even discovered and dished about all of the Summer collections yet. But if there is one to be the first to show this year, this Fall collection from CHANEL is it!

Introducing the CHANEL Fall 2008 Makeup Collection.

For his premiere collection, Peter Philips, the new Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, took inspiration from Mademoiselle Chanel’s legendary apartment on Rue There, decorative elements with rich, reflective surfaces – among them, an elegant mirror luxuriously framed in gold – ignited Philips’s imagination. The result: An exquisite colour collection of shimmering tones designed to warm and flatter skin. Glowing with luminosity, eyes, cheeks and lips are mesmerizing.

EXCLUSIVE CREATION: FACETTES D’OR
HIGHLIGHTER – GOLD FEVER
(limited edition)
This sheer whisper of finely milled golden powder brings a delicate sheer glow to the complexion, gently illuminating the curve of the cheek or bringing subtle allover radiance to the face.

EXCLUSIVE CREATION: FACETTES D’OR
NAIL COLOUR – GOLD FICTION
(limited edition)
A flash of colour — the look of 18-karat gold — delivers a precious new way for nails to shine this fall. With unique pigments and the finest sparkles, a brilliant golden lacquer extends the luxurious effects of this chic shade right down to the fingertips.

I wonder if there is a waiting list for this nail colour yet? I only ask because I will be needing one.

Turn Up the Heat with LORAC's Hollywood Heat Set.

I was lucky enough to have a sneak peek at my brand spanking new local Sephora. I am so thrilled that the beauty authority will be just about 10 minutes from me, which is much better than the one I had to travel to that is almost a 1/2 hour away. As I got my peek, one of the gals setting up the store was putting out this set from LORAC that I just need.

Unfortunately, I was not able to purchase this or anything else as the store is not yet officially open.  But let me say that this Hollywood Heat Set is at the top of my list. 

The beautiful bronzed bag contains the following LORAC poroducts:
Bronze Bombshell Eye Shadow Trio
Hot & Spicy Blush/Bronzer Duo
TANtalizer Body Bronzing Luminizer
Mocktail Flavored Lip Gloss in Tropical Dream

As I am already in love with TANtalizer, so I know this travel sized tube will come in handy. I use this super sweet smelling bronzy lotion on my legs whenever I am dressed up a bit in the Summer. The lotion leaves my legs a little more bronzed and glowy, with a beautiful sheen. The shadows look divine for they are perfect for a bronzed Summer look without looking overdone or too made up. I cannot wait to try the blush and bronzer duo either. - they look to be my perfect shades. And, any lip gloss addict has to want that Mocktail Lip Gloss - and that includes me. Doesn't Tropical Dreamy look and sound, well, dreamy?

This set is exclusive to Sephora, so that is where you need to pick up the set. It sells for $35, which is a great price for these beauties.

Lancôme spokesmodel Daria Werbowy has created a new and exclusive to Sephora Collection of Brazilian Earth Colors for Lancôme.

The collection includes:

Color Fever Lipstick in Beige Caracaï, $26.00
Color Fever Gloss in Nude Prainha, $24.00
Color Design Eye Shadow Quad in Carnet de Velours, $45.00

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Centro Espacial Vik Muniz, a group that supports arts education programs for young adults in Rio de Janeiro.

The entire collection is earthy, yet bronzy - just perfect for Summer. The lipgloss is my pick, as it is the most gorgeous, nude lip color that is perfect on it's own or to tone down a maybe too bright lip. Beautiful!
