Dior · Diorific Khôl & Matte Fluid, Precious Rocks Holiday 2017 Collection

October 19, 2017

 

 

It sometimes seems to me that I pretty much live in anticipation of each successive beauty collection from my favourite brands and while I know that part of the reason is due to the marketing machine at work, the other component is that I’m really just that passionate about makeup. Add to that my romanticism with the holiday period, and we’ve got the makings of the perfect storm … but in the best way possible. Enter Dior’s Precious Rocks Holiday 2017 Collection, inspired by luxurious gems + the urban rock edge of today’s woman. First out of the gate are Diorific Khôl and Diorific Matte Fluid — let the party begin.

Guerlain · Lingerie de Peau Aqua Nude & Cushion Foundations

October 18, 2017

 

Several weeks ago I was invited to a “back to school” Guerlain media preview to discover several of the brand’s upcoming releases, and today’s post focuses on the newly launched foundations from the Lingerie de Peau lineup, Aqua Nude and Cushion. Both come in formulas that I personally prefer, I might add — but a hunch tells me that they’ll be finding favour with many others as well. Let’s just say that class was NEVER more fun!

Guerlain · Intense Liquid Matte Lipstick

October 4, 2017

 

Guerlain’s contribution to the world of matte liquid lippies are the recently released Intense Liquid Matte Lipsticks for Fall 2017, part of the KissKiss range. As with everything that this brand creates, I can assure you that no detail was overlooked in the development of this product and apart from ultra-saturated colour (which these definitely have), a comfortable wear was paramount — something that I couldn’t be happier to note, as my ongoing love-hate relationship with matte lipsticks so needed something like this. Thank you, Guerlain.
