I was so excited to hear the news this past weekend that I had to share it with you all. My favorite red carpet queen, Lupita Nyong’o has been named the latest face of Lancôme. The French cosmetic house will feature the gorgeous actress in upcoming ads you can expect to see this September. What an amazing year she is having! Cheers to challenging mainstream beauty ideals and sharing the notion that beauty comes in many forms! Go Lupita!!!!
Paris fashion house Lanvin’s creative director Alber Elbaz has teamed up with lancome on a 9 piece collection that’s all about the eyes! When this collaboration was announced earlier this year, makeup lovers went into a panic of sorts, just waiting to get their hands on the collection! Months later, I’ve been able to try these products and let me just say that they live up to the hype, namely the 4 eyeshadow palettes. These palettes have such pretty hues and the color payoff is amazingly, pigment for days! My favorite is the mint Jolie( a palette of gorgeous greens). Also in the collection are false lashes and mascara as well. The great news is the colors are here to stay although the special edition packaging is not, so if you’re a package junky, you may want to get your hands on this collection ASAP. Available Now at Lancome.
MY FAVORITE!
Not even a blizzard could stop Jason Wu from filling up a beautiful Park Avenue venue to present his Fall 2013 collection Friday. Despite weather worries, a full house of spectators gazed in awe at one of the most anticipated collections of New York fashion week. There was an essence of elegance and glamour and the clothes were sexy and sophisticated. The mostly black a white palette included crisp collars, belted waists and pleated skirts ! I especially loved the makeup led by Lancome’s Diane Kendal, who created beautiful looks consisting of bold indigo cat eyes with muted lips and cheeks. This show was pretty amazing, nothing new for Mr. Wu!
The makeup
I am a bit obsessed with highlighting and contouring my face and have been buying all of my products separately until NOW……Lancome has a new face sculpting and illuminating compact that includes blush, highlighter and contouring powder. It’s so perfect for on the go or if you like everything in one compact case. The blush subtil palette comes in 6 color combinations that compliment all skin tones and is available at Lancome as well as department stores $42.
The brush pictured below is NOT included but is available at Lancome as well.
Here are some great step by step instructions.
