Lancôme's Declaring Indigo Fall Collection + Beauty Exclusive!

A few weeks ago in the great city of Paris, the Lancôme makeup team introduced the beautiful new fall collection, entitled Declaring Indigo. I am sure you have already guessed that the line is "blue" in theme.

The entire collection was created by Lancôme artistic director for makeup Aaron De Mey. He said that this collection celebrates Paris in all its vibrancy. Mr. De May chose shades that represent the glamour, the energy and the passion of Paris — indigo blue, bright red and luxurious gold. Beautiful!

The Indigo Paris Nail Polish and Ink Artliner have me longing for more. Stay tuned for more information on the star products for the collection. Declaring Indigo will be available for sale starting in August. In the mean-time, Nordstrom has a limited-edition Declaring Indigo Brush & Makeup Bag Set available for pre-ordering for their Beauty Exclusives event.

Fall 2009: Bobbi Brown Nudes Collection.

It is not even feeling like summer yet and I need to start talking about fall collections. It's not too soon is it? Especially when it is swoon worthy like the newest fall beauties from Bobbi Brown. This is the Nudes Collection.

Bobbi says

Nude makeup never goes out of style—it’s polished, sophisticated, and always looks modern. Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin

I agree with her. What do you think? If you are not a full-on nude makeup believer, I bet that you will be, once you see this line-up.

The star product in this collection is the new, limited-edition eye palette for fall. The Nude Eye Palette features eye shadow duos in a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of shades and textures. The eye shadow duos come in Bobbi's customizable 3 Pan Palette, which can be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow or Blush shades.

Bobbi also introduces a new shade to her iconic Shimmer Brick collection- the Nude Shimmer Brick. This brick features five pure pearl pigments in pink, gold, bronze, beige, and caramel. The shades are designed to be blended together to give all skin tones a soft nude, lit from within glow. Beautiful!

In addition the Nudes Collection includes Caviar Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. If you did not know, Bobbi's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner is one of her best sellers.  This one is a beautiful rich, deep brown shade.

The Nudes Collection rounds out with four new shades of Bobbi’s popular Creamy Lip Color that compliment the Nude Eye Palette and Nude Shimmer Brick.
