Inspired by beautiful and exotic gemstones, Givenchy Holiday 2007 Collection is delightfully decadent, full of sparkle, and sure to wow this holiday season.

The item that immediately caught our eye (and yours too, we’re sure) is the Prisme Solitaire All-Over Diamond Effect Powder. Designed to symbolize a glowing diamond solitaire, the compact contains an all-over powder loaded with pearlescent particles to add eye-catching shimmer to every part of the body. ($50)

Lash Sparkles Lash Diamonds is a diamond-infused pen that deposits non-irritating flecks of silvery-white glitter to the lashes. This twist-pen brush (applied after mascara) also adds a glossiness that lasts all day. ($23)

Two new shades of Pop Gloss Crystal Crystal Lip Gloss in Pure Diamond and Diamond Fancy go on transparent to enhance nude or colored lips, and add tons of shimmer with mother-of-pearl extract. ($22.5)

Rose Desire is the new shade of Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick Irresistible Color that is loaded with volumizing shimmery flecks. ($26)

Captiv’Eyes Mascara Intense Volume Mascara Magnetic Eyes comes in Extreme Black to create big, thick lashes that are sure to be the life of the holiday party. ($25)

Givenchy Holiday 2007 Collection is available beginning November 2007 at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, saks.com and Sephora.com.

Everyone loves a beauty secret.

Givenchy Fall 2007 Collection has a secret or two, inspired by the eternally gorgeous Audrey Hepburn, in the form of a hidden message inscribed into their compacts this season.

Shade 54 Cache-Cache (limited edition)

Prismissime Eyes , a 9-color eyeshadow collection, cleverly holds an array of camouflage inspired colors along with Audrey Hepburn’s personal philosophy engraved on the mirror: Style for Life.

Shade 10 Secret Rose (limited edition)

Prisme Again! Secret Blush, a powder blush quartet, beautifully displays the Givenchy 4G logo on the squares of fuschia, peach, mauve, and yellow powder blush designed to light up the face with a natural glow. This exclusive quartet offers more words of wisdom from Audrey Hepburn engraved on the mirror: Laugh Often.

Balancing out the bold eyes of the Prismissime Eye palette are two nude hues of Rouge Interdit, Givenchy’s star lipstick, in 25 Rose Caprice and 26 Voluptuous Nude.

New to the Givenchy makeup brand this season is Prisme Foundation, a palette of complementary powder foundation colors to create a flawless finish for every complexion. Swirled together, the four colors blend all over the face to camouflage flaws and enhance features. Individual hues can also be used to highlight and contour.

Prisme Foundation Shaping Powder Makeup is available in 7 versatile shades:

• Shaping Ivory-1
• Shaping Rose-2
• Shaping Beige-3
• Shaping Amber-4
• Shaping Honey-5
• Shaping Brown-6
• Shaping Copper-7

Givenchy Fall 2007 Collection is available beginning August 2007 at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora stores.

This week we’ve been enjoying snow, wind, ice, rain and a pretty large dose of gloominess. For this reason, we hope you don’t mind if we share this:

While we have yet to sniff this new fragrance by Givenchy, we can’t help but like Very Irresistible Summer Sun already for its top notes of Lychee.

Being from Hawaii, Lychee is our favorite summer fruit. (If you ever have the chance to try this fruit, YOU MUST! Don’t be afraid of the tough, pimply, red skin. It truly is to die for).

In addition to Lychee, Very Irresistible Summer Sun has notes of frangipani and cashmeran added to the original rose Very Irresistible Givenchy fragrance.

And the bottle!

The delightful shades of hot pink and orange decorating the sleek bottle definitely have us longing for summer sun.

This fragrance will be available March 2007 and we can’t wait.
