CHANEL Rouge Coco - The Newest in Luxury Lipstick.

/

We all know CHANEL and the fashion and beauty that is constantly inspired by the legend. This is latest in a new breed of luxury lipsticks, launched earlier this month. Meet CHANEL Rouge Coco.

Peter Philips, the Global Creative Director for CHANEL says, "Rouge Coco fascinates me, because I’ve never seen a texture this comfortable and easy to apply. It’s the ready-to-wear lipstick. Just one sweep over the lips colours them and covers them in a melt-away balm … I like the idea that women from the gloss generation, who are afraid of lipstick, can return to this essentially feminine beauty step with Rouge Coco.” Check out a bit about Philips and see him working behind the scenes with the beautiful Vanessa Paradis, in filming the advertisements.

What I especially love about this new lipstick, aside from the luxurious packaging, the scent, to the feel of simply applying CHANEL to my lips, is the newly infused hydration. The moment I apply and throughout the day, lips are drenched in a special Hydratendre Complex that moisturizes lips while wearing.

The colors are broken up into shade ranges.

Elizabeth Arden's NEW Limited Edition Anniversary Lipstick: Red Door Red!

/

To commemorate 100 years of beauty innovation, Elizabeth Arden is celebrating with the launch of the NEW Limited Edition Anniversary Lipstick. This limited lipstick is a universally flattering, sheer color with the Red Door Red hue stylishly representing strength and femininity.

 

In honor of Miss Arden’s belief in the importance of total beauty, Elizabeth Arden is proud to donate all of the proceeds from the lipstick to Look Good … Feel Better ®.  This organization helps to improve the self-image, appearance and quality of life for people undergoing cancer treatments by teaching beauty techniques, which help them to cope with the beauty-related consequences of cancer and boost their self-confidence.

The lipstick is housed in a beautiful, luxurious gold case, very reminiscent of true 1940's glamour. New though, is how this lipstick offers a triple-emollient moisturizing formula that contains vitamins A, C and E, along with aloe, to instantly hydrate lips and cushion them for total comfort.

This beauty is availale for $20.00 right now at Elizabeth Arden counters as well as online. I cannot think of a more perfect way to celebrate the brands true grace and rich beauty history than with this launch. I will be picking one up just as a collectors item.

Viva Glam Goodness.

If you didn't catch Cyndi Lauper or Lady Gaga during one of their many television appearances for this latest collaboration, let me tell you what this is all about. Cyndi and Gaga have teamed up with MAC Cosmetics this year for it's latest in the Viva Glam installment.

 

As their latest spokes people for the campaign, Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gag each helped create a Viva Glam lipstick. The pink, shown on the left is Viva Glam Gaga, with Lady Gaga; while on the right is the red, Viva Glam Cyndi, with Cyndi Lauper.

Lady Gaga describes her shade, "My new VIVA GLAM lipstick colour is amazing. It's a bluish pink, great for everyday. It's a little bit 80's, which is ve4ry me. It's for the everyday woman - anyone can wear it and feel great about themselves and embody what VIVA GLAM is all about.  I hope that women buy this lipstick, and honor themselves and honor the cause.". MAC describes it as a Light Blue Pink, Lustre.

Cyndi Lauper describes her shade simply, "A really fabulous red... and it's called Cyndi. How cool is that?". MAC describes it as a Light Coral Red, Lustre.

 

All of the proceeds from the sales of Viva Glam go directly to the MAC Aids Fund. You can purchase each, or better yet both, online at maccosmetics.com or your favorite MAC store or counter, where they retail for $14.00.
