Hi, my lovelies! I am back with another great news and this time it is targeted towards all the Gucci lovers out there!

Last week the company came out and and confirmed all the rumours were going on at the end of last year. Yes, we will have another makeup brand to lust after! Gucci committed itself to produce together with the colossal P&G Prestige company ( the one behind one of the bestsellers Gucci products: Gucci Guilty and Gucci Prèmiere ) an amazing makeup line as well as brushes ( which I’m the most excited about ) and skin prep and prime products.

Everything will be supervised by Pat McGrath – the creative design director of P&G’s beauty department who is also “responsible” for the last makeup looks at Gucci’s ready-to-wear shows.

Pat McGrath and Gucci’s Creative Director Frida Giannini decided to to have Charlotte Casiraghi, the daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco and a great ambassador and muse of the brand, as the face of the upcoming cosmetic campaigns shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Excited much?! I sure can’t wait for September to come!

See you soon, beautiful!

The new Chanel Les Beiges 2014 Collection arrived at my Sephora counters at the beginning of May.

It consists of an All-In-One Healthy Glow Fluid available in six shades ( from #10 to #60 ) and two “harmonies” of the Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Powders: #01 and #02. I got my powder in the palest shade, #01.

As you can see in the photos, the new Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Powder is a striped powder that includes a highlighter, the actual Les Beiges Powder and a blush, all-in-one. Formulated with a complex of rose and cotton extracts, Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Powder becomes one with the skin to soothe it and protect it against environmental damage. It also contains UVA and UVB filters with a SPF of 15/PA++.

The packaging is the same sleek, squared, black and ivory case, with the double C’s embossed on the lid that we all know ( and love! ) from the original Les Beiges powders, Chanel launched last year.

In the picture below you can see from left to right:  first swatch – all the colours of the new Chanel Les Beiges Powder blended together, the second swatch is the highlighter, then the original Les Beiges powder and the last one is the blush, all swatched separately.

So, the new Healthy Glow Multi-Colour Powder in #01 is meant to be a finishing powder for pale skins such as mine and the darker one, #02 would work excellent for me, as a bronzer.

They are both limited edition and an amazing item to have in your collection!

See you soon, beautiful!

INTERESTING FACT/TIP/WAYS I USE IT:

– it’s a really versatile powder palette and you can use all the colours swirled together, which will give your skin a beautiful glow or use the colours separately as what they are meant to be: highlighter, powder and blush. You can also use the top half or the bottom half mixed together to create new looks.

– I like the blush effect I get when I swirl the powder and the blush together; I get a new shade of blush, practically!

– it’s one of those palettes you can use the content as an eye shadow, as well.

– the highlighting shade has a subtle shimmer, the medium and deep shades are buttery soft and easily blendable, easy to use for an effortless look.
