STELLA MCCARTNEY SUMMER ROSE

STELLA SUMMER ROSE

Summer Edition

Morning in a garden of roses. A cool breeze vibrating with the scent of just-opened flowers. Sunlight warming bare skin.

This is the inspiration for STELLA SUMMER ROSE, the newest summer limited-edition created by Stella McCartney. “I wanted to capture the beauty and fragility of the most beautiful flower just before it begins to wilt” says Stella McCartney. “During this moment of perfection, the head is so heavy and the petals so open that they flutter away if you brush them with your fingers.”

STELLA SUMMER ROSE embodies this fleeting moment of sensuality. A cherished memory given a fresh, modern edge for a confident and naturally sexy woman. Playfully romantic, a bouquet of roses seems to burst from the bottle. The vintage inspired collector bottle, almost masculine lines softened by pink blooms. Design and fragrance have become one.

Sparkling notes of frosted lemon and green apple reveal a luminous heart of roses and peony notes. The lingering seduction of amber notes echoes the warmth of the summer sun.

On the package, which is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, bold, 3-dimensional roses invite you into the garden. A single band of silver, stamped with the STELLA logo, encircles the box like a ribbon.

GIORGIO ARMANI - Summer Collection 2012 "ECAILLES"

A TRIBUTE TO THE BEAUTY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

This summer, Giorgio Armani Cosmetics reveals a new facet to uncover the mysterious allure of the sea: women’s beauty linked with the depths of the sea, where reds and oranges disappear, giving way to cooler, liquid tones.

‘This collection is inspired by the play of moonlight on the ocean, by myriad shades from inky depths, by white and black pearls. The complexion is pale and luminous, lips are soft and feminine.’

Linda Cantello, International Make Up Artist for Giorgio Armani Cosmetics

ECAILLES: EYE DESIGNING PALETTES

Écailles Classic Eye Palette:

A cooler harmony in the black lacquered signature compact, with four shades layering pearly blue and grey with frothy white and inky navy,  to intensify lash lines.

The pioneering Giorgio Armani Color-Fil™ technology allows delicate

micronized pigments to be fused with a translucent base to offer

unrivalled depth of colour delivered in a sumptuous featherweight

texture.

EYES TO KILL EYESHADOW: OCEANIC JEWELS

For the first time, Eyes To Kill Intense unveils a pearl blend that radiates four spellbinding colours.

Each of the Eyes to Kill Intense – ‘Obsidian Black’, ‘Obsidian Grey’, ‘Écailles’ and ‘Madre Perla' – is based on a revolutionary technology that acts like a kaleidoscope, producing multi-dimensional colours.

This season’s must-have, 'Madre Perla' is a blend of precious white pearls that instantly radiates ever-changing pink, purple, blue and green light for hours. It can be swept over eyes and temples, like a radiance veil as seen in the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2012 show ‘Nacré’.

Madre Perla Eyeshadow

Neither a cream nor a powder, this incredible hybrid formula acts like a colour suspension that delivers a dreamy, ethereal beauty to eyes with a 24 hour hold.

FACE AND CHEEKS DUO PALETTE: BLUSHED CREST-OF-A-WAVE COMPLEXION

The ultra-fine powders of the Face Palette with Giorgio Armani’s Micro-Fil™ Technology come in a complementary duo of shades, ‘Seashell Pink’ and ‘White Foam’. Cheeks are warmed with a sun-kissed flush.

GLOSS D’ARMANI: AQUATIC LUMINOSITY

Lips are quenched with the new Gloss d’Armani harmony in the softest spectrum of ‘Pink Quartz’, ‘Rose Crocoite’, ‘Rasberry Zincite’ and ‘Red Andradite’.

Giorgio Armani introduces a new watercolour effect, for the first time by blending inky translucent lacquers with robust micronized pigments.

Liquid beauty comes t o life.

Review - Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow

This week I tried Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow, colors taupe and black. I love taupe and I use it everyday as a base eyeshadow. I can' t say the same for the black though. It doesn't seem to apply easily and
I tried both with fιngertips and with a brush. I'll keep trying for a while before I make up my mind.

They are supposed to last for 24 hours. Do they do what they promise? Well... they actually don't, but they last for almost 10 hours which is absolutely fine with me.

Would I buy again? Definately yes!
