Essie’s got a brand new bag for fall 2011. The newest color collection pays homage to the glorious world of gorgeous handbags, classic sophistication and a return to ladylike glamour.

Inspired by the clean lines and simple elegance of post-war styles and the colors of handbags, this collection is comprised of classic shades reinvented for modern times.

“The accessories that you wear and carry say so much about who you are and who you want to be.” Essie Weingarten, founder of essie cosmetics explains. “The same is true with your manicure and your nail color. The first thing a person notices when they meet you for the
first time are: your shoes, your handbag and your nails.”

The fall 2011 collection consists of six creamy rich shades reminiscent of autumn with complex colors that are a throwback to the fashions of the 1940’s and 1950’s.

• carry on magnetic mulberry merlot
• glamour purse almond blush
• case study rich camel beige
• power clutch enigmatic darkest green
• very structured creamy burnt sienna
• lady like pretty, demure pink

I know I’m a bit late in sharing this Chanel Fall 2010 Makeup Collection with you but here it is. Gorgeously contrasting shades and Chanel sophistication in all its glory:

Sheer, natural-looking JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush ($42)— the blush that has attracted a devoted following for years — brings a modern freshness to cheeks with three new shades:

• Pink Explosion, a luminous pink
• Rose Temptation, a shimmering rosewood
• Plum Attraction, a bold glistening plum.

This lightweight powder glides on beautifully and wears for hours without fading or changing color.
My longtime favorite blush is Chanel Orchid Rose (I’ve probably repurchased this 5 times over the years, which is a lot for a girl with as many blushes as I have) so I’m thrilled to try the new Rose Temptation.

The new ROUGE COCO classic lip colour ($30) plays up innocence and femininity with three new shades to beautifully offset bold eyes:

• Chalys, a delicate coral
• Rose Dentelle, a tender pink
• Chintz, a soft peach

A glossy finish is achieved with the cult-favorite LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES Glossimer ($27) in four new shades:

• Petite Pêche, a pale peach
• Coral Love, a bright coral shimmer
• Rose Dilemma, a soft pink
• Teaser, a vivid pink

The essential LES 4 OMBRES Quadra Eyeshadow ($56) eyeshadow compact with unlimited options, now in Enigma, the bold new color harmony, features a shimmering peach, deep plum and two iterations of deep smoky grey.

Two new shades of OMBRE ESSENTIELLE Soft Touch Eyeshadow ($28.50) bring further depth to the season’s dramatic colour palette:

• Taupe Grisé, a chocolate grey
• Vert Khaki, a cool khaki green

Eyes become the focus when rimmed with a precise stroke or softly smudged line of STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF Long-Lasting Eyeliner ($28) in new Cassis, a pitch-dark plum.

And my favorite product of this release: LE VERNIS Nail Color ($23) in Paradoxal, a dark grey-violet that is sure to be the statement shade of the season.

CHANEL Fall 2010 Makeup Collection: Le Contrastes de Chanel is currently available online at Chanel.com.

Lancôme did an amazing job with the new Fall 2010 French Coquettes ad campaign.

Seeing this image of beloved Lancôme spokesmodels Daria Werbowy and Elettra Wiedemann, shot by Mario Testino, makes me want to rush out and buy every single product in the hopes that I can recreate these looks on myself.

In fact, I have refused to close my browser for two days since receiving the email announcing the collection. I have been staring at this image of Daria and Elettra’s gorgeous eyes and glowing skin at every opportunity.

The collection’s star products include La Rose Deco, a multi-color powder compact for subtle radiance, Ombre Magnétique, a gel-like shimmery eye shadow that can go on lightly for a touch of shimmer or heavier for full-on drama and Le Vernis Nail Trio “Kissed By Paris,” a set of three mini polishes.
