Fall’s Hottest Collections: YSL 2009

Felicia — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:21:00 +0000

YSL’s Autumn 2009 Collection is not for the faint of heart. The current offering for fall screams drama and Hollywood glamour. Want to make a statement this fall? Look no further!

“elegant and feminine, seductive and sexy, with strong, heavily lined smoky eyes, femme-fatale purple lips and flawless skin. Mascara is layered on to create a false lash effect, while a dab of apricot blush over the cheeks gives a naturally healthy glow.”

The Colour Palette

“A mouth-watering selection of tones for the lips include lychee, raspberry and cherry. For eyes, green is the top choice for an evening look but for day there’s a softer, more wearable palette consisting of peaches, browns and bronzes.”

The Collection

Gloss Volupté: With the same texture as a lip-gloss but contained in a lipstick case, Gloss Volupté features innovative ingredients such as Candelilla resin, Colorshine complex and Pomegrante extract that will leave lips “smooth, plumped and moisturised”. It is available in four new shades: Iced Lychee, Chilled Raspberry, Frozen Cherry and Frosted Plum.
Complexion Palette: A pressed powder for the complexion housed in YSL’s signature gold mirrored compact, which features a saddle-stitched capital Y on the front. Containing radiance-boosting pigments.
Cream Blush: These soft cream cheek colours with a velvety texture are available in three shades: Velvety Peach, Powdery Rose and Silky Praline. Each one is housed in square glass containers with gold caps.
Rouge Volupté: Four new lipstick colours in this range: Frivolous Pink, Spicy Pink, Vibrant Brown and Exquisite Plum.
Ombres Duolumieres: This compact features two new eye shadows: Anise Green/Intense Plum and Pearly Peach/Brown Mink.
5 Colour Harmony Palette: Compact containing five complementary eye colours. Available in two palettes: Bronze Gold and Midnight.
Luxurious Mascara: The newest mascara comes in Sublime Grey.
La Laque: Two new nail colour shades: Stormy Grey, a limited-edition slate grey shade and Extreme Purple, a deep red-purple.

Prescriptives Fall 2009 Collection: Well Suited

Felicia — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 08:58:00 +0000

Tailored menswear-inspired looks are showing up in many Fall fashion collections. Prescriptives jumps on board with “Well Suited“

Prescriptives Director of Color Artistry Jillian Veran explains how to achieve the sophisticated and tailored look of Well-Suited:

“We all love a good lip gloss, but there is something incredibly feminine about the bold statement of a lipstick…in this collection the look of a creamy nude lipstick is accentuated by a strong eye liner…create a sharp straight line or a smudgy, sexy look, but either way you will want to line the inside rim for extra drama.”

ThisThatBeauty Fall Trend Spotting: Shoes

Felicia — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:55:00 +0000

It’s finally starting to consistently feel like summer and wouldn’t you know it — its time to look to fall fashions. Urban Outfitters has recently released their shoe looks for fall and it looks like we’re picking up where we left off last year. The ankle boot remains a big trend for fall. That’s just peachy because this means my unworn little leather Christian Louboutin booties from last year will be revived for fall. Glad to know I’ll be en vogue when I attempt (the heel is serious) to wear them in October:)

What do you think of Urban Outfitters’ fall shoe game? Is this trend screaming “pump it” or “dump it”? Leave a comment:)

NARS Fast Ride Lipstick

Felicia — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:32:00 +0000

“The NARS woman may have a very classical look”, says François Nars, “but she still likes to stay on the edge, and remain in touch with fashion.” NARS Fast Ride Lipstick:

This seemingly dark purple may intimidate, but swipe it across the lips and its true shade is revealed: a sheer mulberry. A color that falls somewhere between an intense plum wine stain, and a moody, deep violet. The glossy grape hue is a playful, cool alternative to more common dark lip color options.
