The festive season is upon us and even though the current pandemic has altered how we’ll be celebrating, that doesn’t mean you still can’t go all out — and Givenchy’s Holiday 2020 Collection is an absolutely glam and much needed pick-me-up. Of course, the exquisite package doesn’t hurt the cause either …
It’s safe to say that CHANEL holds a special place in my heart (& vanity table) and the Holiday 2020 Chaînes d’Or Collection definitely does NOT disappoint. Setting the tone is the exquisite pattern, but ultimately it’s the performance of each piece that speaks to me. Very loudly, I might add.
The recent CHANEL Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2021 runway show was once again set in Paris’ soaring Grand Palais, but this time the theme bore a laid-back LA aesthetic, complete with the brand name spelled out in giant letters evoking the iconic Hollywood sign. All that glamour aside, what really stood out for me was the comeback of the smokey eye … but trust CHANEL to soften up this look to make it so absolutely wearable.
Inspired by the art of fine jewelry making, Guerlain’s new Stunning Gems Collection has created an entirely new genre in the beauty industry, fusing makeup & jewelry in one. Of course, the incredible formula of each lipstick only adds to the equation but in truth, who wouldn’t want to take every opportunity to whip one of these babies out in public?
Well known as enjoying shaking up the beauty industry, NARS has just released the Climax Extreme Collection which builds on the success of the brand’s Climax Mascara which launched in 2018 (previously reviewed here). After having played around with these pieces for a while now, I can definitely say that they’re both very well deserving of their rather provocative names …wink, wink.
