Haute Stuff Coming Through! The New Givenchy Naivement Couture Collection for Spring/Summer 2011 - Makeup and Beauty Blog

Merci beaucoup, Givenchy. Today your 10-piece Naivement Couture Drove for spring/summer 2011 let me momentarily forget well-nigh winter and the aching arctic in my haul bones.

I may have fifty-fifty developed a fever in Sephora while swatching Naivement's palette of sunday-kissed pink, orange and gold, because I had a hallucination, fo' reals!

At 1 point an center palette in my hand turned into a tube of sunscreen correct earlier my eyes (wha!?). When I looked upwardly, I was standing on a warm beach at sunset. There was a saucepan of beer at my anxiety and a man standing abreast it. The man was James Franco. "Where'd y'all run off to, infant?" he said, and I answered, "Sephora?" I turned my caput to see where I'd come from, only when I turned it back, James and the beach were gone…

Expect — where was I?

Oh, yeah, Givenchy. 🙂 I know it's early to exist fantasizing about summer, but if you ane) anticipate finding yourself at the beach with a hot thespian/graduate student/novelist (you lot never know) or 2) living in a place that showtime to heat up around June, consider stocking upward on the long-wearing gel blush and felt-tip lip markers. I'm burdensome hard on the matte pink Blush Gelee in Candide Pink ($33), which blends easily and creates a light, cooling awareness when practical (so refreshing!), and both of the Printed Lips markers ($thirty each). All three of them offer sturdy, water-resistant color that should last through a day at the pool.

Lighter lasses, have a close look at the eye quad and pulverization chroma. All iv of the powder eyeshadows in Le Prisme Eyes in Candide Garden ($56) employ super sheer on my tan skin (I had to use four layers for these swatches), simply the colors should sing louder on pale beauties. And the matte purplish pinkish Le Prisme Chroma in Information technology-Girl Royal ($44), which looked a trivial chalky on me, should comport better on fairer skin tones.

I'm intrigued by one of the products that wasn't originally listed in the official PR. Information technology's called the Hydra Sparkling Magic Lip & Cheek Lotion ($30). Made to be worn on cheeks and lips, this sheer pink balm feels sticky to the touch and dries to a matte finish. Like the Blush Gelee and the Printed Lips, information technology's fairly water resistant, simply I probably wouldn't wear it on my cheeks because of how super sticky it feels, ewww. I can already meet my pilus sticking to it.

Final, just not least, are the Mad Men orange lipstick and lipgloss. The pigment in Rouge Interdit Lipstick in Candide Tangerine ($29) and Gloss Interdit in Succulent Orange ($26.fifty) are no joke! If you like vivid, retro orangey reds a la MAC Lady Danger Lipstick, then both of these colors might suit you well.

Swatches from the left: Hydra Sparkling Magic Lip & Cheek Balm ($xxx), Printed Lips in Pinkish Impression ($24.50), Printed Lips in Rose Impression ($24.l), Rouge Interdit Lipstick in Candide Tangerine ($29) and Gloss Interdit in Delicious Orange ($26.fifty)

So what practice ya recollect? From the comments on the previous Givenchy mail service, it seems like the orange/pink/gold combo was something gals either hated or loved. Holla at me if you see something you like. 🙂

Bag lust!

Speaking of sunshine-y things, allow me to innovate y'all to my latest purse beat, the Archetype Q Footling Ukita in Marigold by MARC By Marc Jacobs. Reader Marisol and I ran into this beauty at Nordstrom today.

I dear that bright xanthous and how soft the leather feels. I besides like that it can exist worn every bit either a cross torso or shoulder bag (so practical!). And information technology'southward roomy plenty to carry a book and a modest water bottle on top of the necessities. Buuuuut, it's super spendy. $398 (ZOMG!). Nosotros'll run across. I'll take to think about it…for a long fourth dimension.

Anywho, I hope you lot had a marvelous Mon. Did your calendar week get off to a skilful start? Have yous experienced whatever Fendi fevers lately or other bag crushes I should know virtually?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
