Giorgio Armani Lip Wax - a Blush of Color for Lips in a Compact.

Giorgio Armani invents a modern vision of lip color. This is Lip Wax compact lipstick - a new blush of color for lips. Like a second-skin garment, the weightless texture dresses lips in a comfortable and extremely fine film of color with a sophisticated satin patina finish.

The incredibly smooth and silky texture of Lip Wax glides over lips leaving rich, tailor-made color.  The ultra-fine and soft Micro-fil™ veil ensures a smooth and seemingly weightless result. Lip Wax introduces freer and more inventive ways of bringing color to lips. The simple gesture of dabbing on color with the fingertips gives a soft blush and patina satin effect.

Lip Wax ($26) is designed in six signature Giorgio Armani shades, from nude-beige to a rich wine color.  These shades can be applied alone or played within endless combinations to personalize your lips and follow your mood.

n°1 Nude beige – a shade lighter than the natural lip color
n°2 Antique rose – a discreet lip highlight
n°3 Sienna – brings warmth to the lips
n°4 Raspberry – a colorful pink purple
n°5 Cardinal red – a bright, transparent red
n°6 Deep Chianti – a rich color for strong marked lips

The full Lip Wax collection will be available beginning in October at fine department stores, but are available online at giorgioarmanibeauty.com already.

Bobbi Brown's NEW Metallics Collection.

I cannot believe that I hit pan with an eye shadow, but I did. I have so many colors in my stash that it is unbelievable, but I just hit pan last week with my favorite gold color from my Bobbi Brown Burnt Sugar Metallics palette from last fall. Good thing we have not just one, but 17 new Metallic shades to choose from. Bobbi knew she did this right and has expanded on her much loved metallics, to launch an entire Metallics Collection.

Look at the gorgeous range of colors.


On counter in August, the shadow will debut in 17 shades. Featuring a broad shade range including rich bold colors and pastels, the high-shimmer, high-pigment formula creates a sexy and sophisticated look. Color applies evenly and stays crease-free for all-day wear. Individual shadows can also be popped into Bobbi’s new customizable palettes.

The color combinations are seemingly endless. I am loving the colors of Mint, Sage and Cognac together for a beautiful smokey brown eye with a shimmer of the mint green as an unexpected pop.

On counter in October, Bobbi presents her new Metallic Lip Color- the newest innovation in shimmer. Featuring high-shine emollients and light-reflective pearls, it will leave lips with a soft creamy feel and medium coverage and will be available in 15 multi-dimensional shades.

I am using the Lip Color in Brown, which is sort of unexpected for me. But it is a beautiful sheer, metallic brown. It is not frosty by any means, just shimmery with reflects of a metallic wash below.

I just sent to the Bobbi Brown website, and the shadows are up for sale, though they probably will not be on counter until August. Then check back in September/October for the Lip Colors. I will be, as I will definitely need to add more of the Metallics to my lippie collection.
