Prescriptives Summer 2009 Color Collection

prescriptives-summer-09

Prescriptives Summer 2009 Color Collection is inspired by the classic Calyx fragrance.

With vibrant and energizing tones, this collection gives eyes a pop of color in shimmering yellow, sparkling teal and bright green. Lips are layered with juicy mango, pink grapefruit and guava shades.

My favorite in this collection is the new guava flavored Exhilarating Lip Gloss. This comes in three shades inspired by Calyx’s citrus notes:

  • New Mango (warm)
  • New Pink Grapefruit (cool)
  • New Guava (neutral)

The New Guava is my pick for a sheer gloss with a hint of shimmer and tons of shine. (Also, it’s non-sticky which is a lipgloss MUST here at Makeup Bag.)

Also in this collection is the new Exhilarating Lipcolor in a bright Calyx green case, which I adore. Available shades are:

  • New Nectarine (Y/O)
  • New Papaya (R/O)
  • New Strawberry (R)
  • New Raspberry (B/R)

And bright new shades of U-pick Eye Color:

  • New Lemondrop (warm)
  • New Calyx Green (warm)
  • New Teal (cool)
  • Chiffon (cool)
  • Cobalt (cool)
  • Caviar (warm)

Finishing off the collection is the limited edition all-over fragrance: a light refreshing form of the original Calyx.

Prescriptives Summer 2009 Color Collection: Exhilaration is available beginning May 2009 at Prescriptives counters nationwide, exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada and online at Prescriptives.com.

DKNY Fresh Blossom

dkny-fresh-blossom

Inspired by the beauty of the apple blossom, DNKY Fresh Blossom is a lighthearted, intensely feminine, and radiant fragrance. A blend of sparkling grapefruit, cassis and sun-kissed apricot, blended with sheer muguet, petally rose and jasmine.

This is a lovely grapefruit scent that’s light and airy with just the right amount of floral that’s perfect for spring. Also, I can’t resist the gorgeous pink bottle.

DKNY Fresh Blossom is available online at dknyfragrances.com for $40-$70.
