Lancôme's Declaring Indigo Fall Collection + Beauty Exclusive!

A few weeks ago in the great city of Paris, the Lancôme makeup team introduced the beautiful new fall collection, entitled Declaring Indigo. I am sure you have already guessed that the line is "blue" in theme.

The entire collection was created by Lancôme artistic director for makeup Aaron De Mey. He said that this collection celebrates Paris in all its vibrancy. Mr. De May chose shades that represent the glamour, the energy and the passion of Paris — indigo blue, bright red and luxurious gold. Beautiful!

The Indigo Paris Nail Polish and Ink Artliner have me longing for more. Stay tuned for more information on the star products for the collection. Declaring Indigo will be available for sale starting in August. In the mean-time, Nordstrom has a limited-edition Declaring Indigo Brush & Makeup Bag Set available for pre-ordering for their Beauty Exclusives event.

For the Lippie Lovers: MAC Euristocrats2.

As I made a quick trip through Nordstrom last night, I had to stop and do a double-take as I passed by the MAC counter. Ooh - my favorite Dazzleglasses were in a special little display. I had to investigate.

These new beauties, all seven of them were screaming my name, along with seven new lipsticks and four new lip pencils. Alas, this was the newest collection from MAC, just out yesterday. Take a look at Euristocrats2 to see why I am swooning.

Euristocrats2:

While “a kiss on the hand can be quite Continental,” a modern girl does the kissing now, knowing she has the drop-dead drama of these hot new Dazzleglass shades.

Before I give you the rundown, I will say that I picked up two of the Dazzleglass Lip Gloss and one of the new Lipsticks. The first Dazzleglass I picked was Euro Beat, which is a beautiful coral shade with gold pearl. I also selected Roman Holiday, which is a deeper coral, more on the brown side, but with a pink pearl finish to it. The Lipstick I just had to have is Naked Paris. It is a pin/coral shade with an almost color-changing pearl to it. It looks different in each type of light, but each look is gorgeous. It looks really bright in the tube, but is absolutely beautiful on the lips.

A Bronzer for the Body - Orlane Bronzing Pressed Powder.

Meant to be just a beautiful bronzer for the face, I could not help myself in applying this all over. The compact is HUGE and I honestly thought it was meant for the body.

Take a look at this Bronzing Pressed Powder from Orlane.

Big right? Beautiful? Yes!

The powder is softly scented - love that - and is one of the softest milled powder I have ever used in a bronzing powder to date.  I am using the shade Soleil Cuivre 02, which is the perfect, natural looking golden tan color. It features a very subtle goledn shimmer to it for the perfect glow.

The powder seems to be moisturizing which makes it perfect to be used all over the body. It never looks powdery, fake or overdone.

Check out Orlane Bronzing Pressed Powder online or at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and select Bloomingdales for $40.
