"Introducing, for Fall, the ultimate fashion/beauty accessory from Giorgio Armani – the Python Palette.  Based off of Giorgio Armani’s Fall/Winter fashion show, this truly unique palette focuses on a strong, smoky eye and offers a range of looks from daytime to evening."

Fall makeup collections are our absolute favorite and Giorgio Armany Beauty: The Python Collection is at the top of our list.

The Python palette has three eye shadow colors in one palette to create a sophisticated and distinctive look: grey taupe, dark iridescent grey and luminous grey pearl.

The palette also includes two new stunning ArmaniSilk lip shades. These sophisticated fall tones, a deep red and an elegant mauve, are perfect for a glamorous night out or for everyday use.

The Python Palette has a suggested retail price of $100.

The Fall Collection also features:

Blending blush duo (n°1 and n°2)
Giorgio Armani Beauty also presents two new blending blush palettes in two shades. Following the Giorgio Armani Beauty heritage in blending and layering, our renowned Micro-fil™ cream texture allows the blending blush duos to morph into fluid color on contact with the skin.  The result is soft, flushed color and subtle highlighting that sculpts the face.
The Blending blush duo palettes have a suggested retail price of $60.

ArmaniSilk (n°80)
This new shade is also available for a limited time in a gorgeous burgundy tone.
The ArmaniSilk Lipstick has a suggested retail price of $25.

The Fall 2008 Collection is available beginning September 2008 for a limited time online at www.giorgioarmanibeauty.com and at select fine department stores, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Barneys.

Available now at Lancôme counters nationwide is their new Fall 2008 Collection: Maharani Jewels a color collection designed to pay homage to India.

Le Crayon Khôl Kajal
This ultra-soft khôl divinely glides across lids, lining them in exquisite deeply pigmented color.  Natural jojoba oil and organic beeswax make application smooth and comfortable. For sultry eyes, evocative of a Bengal beauty, India Ink imbues an intense black for a captivating look. For softer, but equally sexy eyes, smoke out the rich brown hue of Amber Night or delicately apply the lustrous color of Smoky Henna. Suggested Retail Price: $23.50

Maharani Color Design Eye Shadow Quads
The raw and natural tones found throughout India’s countryside are seen in the Lotus Splendor palette with its earthy brown, peach and copper eye shadows, while the Secrets of Benghal palette features soft pink, dusty mauve, eggplant and highlighting shadows. Paired with Le Crayon Khôl Kajal in India Ink, the combination of shadow and dark liner work in harmony to create a sultry, intense eye look. Suggested Retail Price: $40.00

The latest fall collection to hit counters is the Shu Uemura Fall Mode Makeup Collection: Instinct .

"Staying true to shu uemura’s heritage of innovative and conceptual design, each item is encased within palettes of silver, gold and black motifs, expressing the modernism and elegance of the collection’s femininity."

We’re thinking the limited edition Luring Powder in Rose will be our favorite from this collection, but Mystifier a limited edition duo eye shadow with shades of green black and brownish bronze is close on its heels.
