This beautiful caramel compact from the Estée Lauder Chocolate Decadence Collection truly looks like a treat!
The compact contains ribbons of crème, caramel, chocolate and spun gold that blend seamlessly to impart every skintone with a sweet kiss of gold shimmer.
Estée Lauder Creme Caramel Shimmer Powder is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $32.
How could you not love this sensational Love Me Set from NARS?
The set pairs NARS’ universally flattering Orgasm Blush with Albatross Highlighting Blush Powder, a whisper-light white powder laced with a hint of champagne gold. The delightfully creamy, peachy Orgasm Lipgloss rounds out the trio beautifully.
NARS Love Me Set is available from Sephora for $49.
I have a lot of love for illuminators, but more often than not they turn out to be too pink, too orange or too bright to really get the job done.
That’s why I’m so intrigued by this new Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Powder that claims to be colorless! No bronze, no yellow, just the promise of a pure, natural candlelit glow.
Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight Powder is available from Sephora for $25.
Another summer collection that has me dreaming of the beach today (did I mention it snowed last night?) is the new Yves Saint Laurent Summer Look 2009.
With warm, contrasting colors and a standout peacock-blue mascara, this collection is bold and glamorous at the same time:
YSL Summer Look 2009 is composed of 5 products, including 3 limited editions:
Eye palette “Trésor d’Afrique” collector , offers 5 shades: ivory, to be used as a base; turquoise, plum, and navy blue for definition, and toffee to brighten the arch area and bring warmth and contrast to the eyes.
Everlong Waterproof Lengthening Mascara in ‘Ever Peacock Blue’ (limited edition): A double innovation for a double lengthening effect, due to the association of a new generation brush with an exclusive complex – the LASH GROWTH BOOSTER – which favors lash growth.
Limited Edition Trésor d’Afrique Collector Sun Powder houses a large pressed bronzer with golden shimmer, to give you a healthy glow. The Poudre de Soleil N° 2 Golden Sun shade offers an even and luminous tan with only a few brush strokes.
Rouge Pur Shine, sheer lipstick SPF15 : this shiny lipstick with exceptional gliding properties, hydrates and illuminates the lips with sparkling, transparent colours. It is now available in 2 of summer’s hottest shades: #32 Frozen Mango and #33 Wild Blackberry.
Touche Eclat Radiant Touch in ‘light peach’ : The famous take-anywhere pen-brush for adding a touch of light or banishing shadows and signs of fatigue from the eye area, the hollow of the chin, the contour of the lips and the sides of the nose.
YSL Summer Look 2009 is available online at YSLBeautyUS.com.
