How cool are these fabulous spherical containers? I love the futuristic look but I’m not feeling as optimistic about the futuristic price tag.

Inside these ultramodern containers is Lancôme Secret de Vie creams which claim to “stimulate rebirth with Extrait de Vie, richly infused with six powerful ingredients.” I’m curious to see how these compete against other offerings in their price category – in my mind, they’ve already swept the competition in terms of eye-catching packaging!

Each set contains 1.7 ounces each of Secret de Vie Cream and Secret de Vie Night for $345 from Nordstrom.

You better sit down for this: mineral foundation has gone uber-high-tech!

This brand new offering from Lancôme promises to take the stress and mess out of minerals – rather than buffing loose minerals into your skin, its micro-massagers apply the foundation with 7,000 micro-vibrations per minute for seamless blendability with a lot less elbow grease.

Lancôme Ôscillation Powerfoundation Micro-Vibrating Polishing Mineral Make-Up ($48) is talc-free, oil-free and fragrance-free and is available in 12 shades.

I haven’t tried this vibrating foundation yet but I’m dying to see if it really creates “pixel-perfect” skin. If you’ve taken the new Lancôme Ôscillation Powerfoundation Micro-Vibrating Polishing Mineral Make-Up for a test drive—let me know how you like it!

In celebration of their new fragrance, Hypnôse Senses, Lancôme is running a contest at Polyvore.

Create a layout that illustrates your sense of style and Lancôme will pick the best one to win a $250 lancome-usa.com gift card and a bottle of Hypnôse Senses, signed by spokesmodel Daria Werbowy (shown above). Five runners-up will each win $100 gift cards plus a bottle of Hypnôse Senses.

Hypnôse Senses is a voluptuous blend of exotic osmanthus flower and patchouli with a trace of enchanting pink pepper. The gorgeous bottle is a curved spiral of clear glass unlike any I’ve seen before.

Head over to Polyvore and enter to win! Contest ends November 2nd so get going!

This holiday season, Lancôme has a gorgeous makeup collection to add sparkle to your holiday festivities.

I’m most excited about the new Ink Artliners in Plum Tease and Brun Mystere and the new Ôscillation mascaras in Sparkle Silver and Sparkle Gold.

Those are definitely items I would need to hide from my teenagers!

I’m also super excited about the Holiday Eye & Cheek Palettes, a Lancôme holiday tradition.

This year there are four palettes to choose from, a $70 value:

• Plum Irrisistible
• Alluringly Bronze
