NARS · Euphoria Collection 2021
Is it just me, or does NARS seem to fly under everyone’s radar? Case in point is the Euphoria Collection released for spring 2021 … a collection, I might add, that I actually hadn’t heard much about it landed at my doorstep a few days ago. Personally, I absolutely adore everything about this brand — from the beautifully crafted packaging, the quality of the products, and the names (hello, Orgasm anyone?). And since I also love a good beauty surprise, this collection has totally checked every.single.box.
Guerlain · KissKiss Shine Bloom
Guerlain recently launched KissKiss Shine Bloom — an innovative formula that’s probably one of the most luxurious balm/lipstick hybrids I’ve ever tried, and considering the beating my lips have taken with all this mask-wearing, I’m so ready for some major TLC … and looking quite chic while doing so. Oh, and did I mention that the formula consists of 95% naturally derived ingredients? Not too shabby, am I right?
NARS Summer Solstice 2021 Collection
A few weeks ago, NARS launched the Summer Solstice Collection for 2021, and I have to say, it’s a good one. Damn good, in fact. True to François Nars’ aesthetic, both pieces come housed in stunning packaging that definitely compliments what’s on the inside. Spoiler: these palettes absolutely deliver.
CHANEL Cruise 2021/22 Collection · Backstage Beauty
This past May 3rd, CHANEL presented its Cruise 2021-2022 Collection, with Virginie Viard once again turning to Gabrielle Chanel’s personal archives for inspiration. Held at Carrières de Lumières in Les Baux-de-Provence (South of France), this former quarry with its towering stone-cut walls, instantly calls to mind ancient Egyptian structures (no? just me?). So totally unique and absolutely impressive … and now I absolutely want to go there.
New Beauty: Perle et Éclats de CHANEL Collection, Spring 2021
Inspired by Japanese Akoya pearls, CHANEL’s Perles et Éclats Collection draws on Coco Chanel’s love of these lustrous gems and their complex luminosity, with several pieces here absolutely delivering on that aesthetic. For example, feast your eyes on that exquisite highlighter … I rest my case.
