Génifique from Lancôme


Thursday, January 29th, 2009
WWD was just today talking about some new skin care programme called Génifique from Lancôme. It must be quite a big launch because even sad little journos like me who can't afford a paid subscription to WWD (and thus am forced to read just one and two lines of teaser copy. Blast that paid subscription), got the full story... GRATIS.Big Advertising is going to be all around this campaign. So far we've heard about the Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate and WWD says 'the company will use all ad

Hej på er alla mascara-användare.. Jag har fått ett litet problem som jag tror att ni kan hjälpa mig med.. Jag har alltid använt lancome définicil mascara.. Tyvärr gör den för stora hål i plånboken..   Nu har jag provat  lóreal telescopic.. Den är lite för klimpig tycker jag. Jag har också provat lóreal volume collagen. Den blir jättesnygg men efter en timme ser fransarna dystra ut igen..   Har ni några bra och prisvärda tips?   Tack på förhand

Lancôme Spring 2009: Pink Irreverence.

Lancôme Spring 2009: Pink Irreverence. Jan 28, 2009 I don't think there is a "hotter" collection out there yet this Spring. Pink Irreverence from Lancôme is hot, hot, hot - with shades of Pink and Black. I am loving each and every piece of this collection. Audacious and emotional, free spirited and pioneering, radioactively gorgeous and sexy, Pink Irreverence, the latest color collection from Aaron De Mey, Lancôme’s new artistic director for makeup, takes inspiration from irrevere

Os presento una nueva fragancia que llegará en marzo: L’Air du Printemps, perfecta para la primavera, aunque eso sí, en edición limitada, re-editando el clásico ya L’Air du Temps. No me termina de convencer que pongan edición limitada en los productos, porque es una manera de subir el precio, aunque la sensación de tener algo especial suple este defecto. No en todo, claro… Este per

She was one of the hardest-working people I have ever met. She helped run Bingo at the school. She worked at the carnival. She worked in the lunchroom at school and volu

Givenchy Sari Or Bobbi Brown Blushed Pink: What Would You Get?


Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
The soft pastel pinks of the Lady Dior Collection ushered spring in with a dainty whisper — “Hello, lovah…” Then, the rockin’ hot pinks of Lancome’s Pink Irreverence Collection took the spring spotlight. But I guess Dior and Lacome weren’t the only ones to get the Pink Is In for Spring memo. Pink also plays a central role in the Sari and Blushed Pink collections from Givenchy and Bobbi Brown. I think both collections look gaw-geous. If you were forced to pick between the two, which o

Lancôme Définicils loyalty


Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
I've used and loved this mascara since I was a teenager, but for some reason I always try other mascaras and think I'm going to find better. It's never really worked out that way. Recently, I went back to Définicils again after a very underwhelming trial of Dior DiorShow (in fairness, I think my expectations were unrealistic). Happily, I discovered another reason to love this product: It washes off almost completely without any eye makeup remover being used. (I use Clean & Clear Foaming

Lancome Pink Irreverence - Sassiness & Piha Black


Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
For Spring 2009, Lancome's Artistic Director for Makeup, Aaron De Mey, played with the idea of mixing safe and edgy by pairing girly pinks with gothic blacks. Bringing back the sellout black sparkly lipgloss from Fall, Piha Black, he added a matching nail lacquer for the Pink Irreverence collection; both shades inspired by his New Zealand homeland's black Piha beach. I waited month's on a list at Bloomie's for my tube of Piha Black gloss and it's definitely a beauty junkie collector's items, ver
