NARS · Orgasm X Collection
Back in 1999, François Nars caused quite the stir in the beauty world with the release of the provocatively named Orgasm blush and now 21 years later, he’s taking things up a notch with the launch of the Orgasm X Collection. Basically, you might think of these pieces as multiple “O’s” for the face … and yes, I went there.

CHANEL · Fall Winter 2020/2021 Beauty
For CHANEL’s recent Fall/Winter 2020-2021 Ready-To-Wear show, Paris’ historic Grand Palais (aka: the brand’s go-to venue), was transformed into a representation of the River Seine.

Givenchy · Gardens Spring 2020 Collection
With a nod to Impressionist paintings (my absolute favourite period art) and drawing inspiration from Hubert de Givenchy’s lifelong passion for the Jonchet Gardens that surrounded his home at Le Jonchet (France), the Gardens Collection created by the brand’s Artistic Director, Nicolas Degennes, is like holding spring in the palm of your hand. I mean … just LOOK at it. By the way, just note that the entire collection is limited edition, but I’m sure you had that already figured out, am I right?
