Giorgio Armani Lip Wax Set

Giorgio Armani’s new cosmetic collection is defined by its silky, fluid textures, so I am extremely intrigued by the idea of “Lip Wax.”

The luxurious formula is said to glide on lips, leaving rich, beautiful color that’s as weightless as it is smooth. The set includes 3 shades, all packaged in a zip case complete with a mirror.

Giorgio Armani Lip Wax Set is available from Neiman Marcus for $59.

Idole d’Armani Fragrance for Women

“I have always carried with me an ideal of femininity – an irresistible combination of grace, beauty and independent spirit. IDOLE d’ARMANI is my tribute to this ideal, and to women everywhere.” – Giorgio Armani

Idole d’Armani, the  latest Armani fragrance for women, launches this month with a spicy appeal and tons of charm. This is a fragrance that has a bit of masculinity, suggesting a hidden strength and independence, yet the floral notes capture the femininity.

Here’s what’s in the juice:

  • Top notes: dazzling bitter orange, juicy pear, ginger and davana.
  • Middle notes: audacious rose loukoum and mythical jasmine blended boldly with saffron absolute, creating a honey-coloured subtle spicy note.
  • Base notes: luminous and sensual, unexpected styrax, patchouli and vetiver.

Actress Kasia Smutniak is the gorgeous face of this campaign, chosen by Giorgio Armani for her “fresh and modern appeal.”

Idole d’Armani is available online at GiorgioArmaniBeauty-USA.com.

For Your Guy: Armani Attitude Extreme

Attitude Extreme

If this ad alone isn’t enough to make you run out and get your man a bottle of Armani Attitude Extreme then I don’t know what to say.

I’m thinking of blowing this up to life-size proportions and hanging it on the wall in my office. Good idea, no?

Attitude Extreme Bottle

Attitude Extreme is a more intense version of Armani Attitude. Here’s what the brand says about this new fragrance:

“The woody oriental has been reworked to display masculinity in a more sensual, pronounced way. Its strong and elegant expression leaves an unforgettable, lasting imprint.
The Sicilian Lemon top note is cloaked in the star anise note and cardamom giving off a spicy, aromatic burst of infinite richness and freshness.
At the heart, the coffee-cedar accord is shaken up with incense whose purity exudes a warm sensuality.
The base is enhanced with smooth, woody ambergris and mysterious, enveloping Indonesian Patchouli creating a truly desirable combination”

Armani Attitude Extreme is available online at GiorgioArmaniBeauty-USA.com.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Holiday Beauty Blitz at Barney’s NYC

Tim Quinn, Giorgio Armani Beauty Celebrity Makeup Artist, will be making a special appearance this holiday season at Barney’s NYC (660 Madison Avenue, at 60th) to debut Giorgio Armani Beauty’s holiday offerings.  Tim and his A-Team of Giorgio Armani Face Designers will be introducing customers to the Holiday Crystal Collection, which features Swarovski Crystal details, and offering tips on holiday looks that transition easily throughout the season’s events and soirees.

This limited-edition collection draws inspiration from the use of the exquisite stones featured in Giorgio Armani’s couture evening dresses – delicate details combined with rich fabrics creating a dazzling effect.  The star product, the jeweled Crystal Palette, is a double-level case that features four shimmering eye shadow shades on top – ranging from silver to gold – while the bottom holds an iridescent body powder in a versatile neutral shade.

If you’re in New York this weekend, stop by Barney’s NYC on Saturday, December 13th for a special consultation with Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Tim Quinn and the Giorgio Armani Beauty A-Team.

Appointments can be booked at the Giorgio Armani counter and are available from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
