CHANEL · Fall/Winter 2019 Haute Couture Beauty Edit
For her first solo CHANEL Haute Couture debut held this past July 2nd, Virginie Viard paid a breathtaking tribute to the House’s legacy, literally transforming the Grand Palais into a blown up rendition of Mademoiselle’s personal library. The effect was nothing short of spectacular, and while you’d think that stepping into the shoes of the late Karl Lagerfeld would be almost impossible to accomplish, Virginie Viard not only rose to the occasion beautifully, but managed to do it in a way that conveyed calm & serenity, albeit in CHANEL’s true spirit of luxurious grandeur.
Marc Jacobs · Coconut Collection 2019, Youthquake & Velvet Noir Mascara
For beauty lovers, Marc Jacobs’ Summertime Coconut Collection is always hotly anticipated. I mean, coconut: doesn’t get more Summery than that, no? Infused with a varied selection of coconut ingredients (how many times can I say “coconut” in one paragraph?), these products not only smell amazing, but perform equally beautifully. Then there’s the recently launched Youthquake, with pineapple in the ingredients that makes it a perfect fit for the theme. I just love makeup synergy, don’t you?
Guerlain · New Terracotta for Summer 2019
For Summer 2019, Guerlain has expanded the Terracotta family with several new additions — all of which means we now have even more amazing options in this incredible range. And in keeping with this brand’s fragrance lineage, there’s also a new member in the Aqua Allegoria collection; if the scent doesn’t grab you, I’m betting the bottle sure will.
Dior · Oud Ispahan & Summer 2019 Lacquer Sticks
I was recently invited to visit Dior’s spectacular new counter at Holt Renfrew Ogilvy (Montréal), where with the help of their fragrance specialist David, I was matched with my perfect scent, Oud Ispahan. When that was done, I then had the opportunity to test out a customized Dior Prestige facial treatment — which was ah-mazing, by the way. Rounding out today’s post are the new Summer 2019 Lacquer Sticks, because why not?
Dior · 3 Couleurs TRI(O)BLIQUE Eyeshadow Palettes
Thanks to social media, I’m pretty sure there’s not a person out there who hasn’t admired Dior’s tote bags with their instantly recognizable “Oblique” pattern (see below) — this same design is now also found embossed upon the surface of the brand’s recently launched Tri(O)Blique Eyeshadow Palettes. Originally called Diorissimo, this print is now ubiquitous thanks to a reboot by Maria Grazia Chiuri, Creative Director of Dior … and while owning one of these bags may be out of reach for most, thankfully these palettes are way more attainable.
