Mac Guo Pei makeup collection

The Met Ball - it's the most fantastical event of the year, where the beautiful and the glamorous flock together in their finery to fundraise for the Metropoliton Museum of Art's Institute in New York, and this years theme and exhibition is China: Through the Looking Glass. Alongside the likes of Balenciaga, McQueen and Dior, fabled Chinese couturier Guo Pei will be showing her creations in the exhibition. The designer has also created eight dresses especially for MAC Cosmetics, which will be revealed the day after the Met Gala on 5th May, as the inspiration for a capsule make-up collection launching in October.

"There is a Chinese saying, 'There is a kingdom in a flower; a wisdom in a leaf,'" Guo Pei explains of her inspiration behind the collection. "I always find the power of nature fascinating, especially when the flowers are blossoming. The idea inspired the creative process of the dresses for MAC. I finished my preliminary sketch in my study on one quiet afternoon without a break. However, while the drawings were beautiful, they lacked completeness. Then one day, my daughter showed me a set of extraordinarily beautiful pictures of the Milky Way. The intoxicating colors of the universe sparked a power of life in my soul... I captured the energy and created eight dresses for MAC - "Garden of Soul". Based upon the eight dresses, we developed this beautiful makeup collection."

To create the campaign images, the eight intricately made dresses were shipped in wooden crates to London, where they were shot by Sølve Sundsbø. "The visual we created is lyrical and expresses the spirit of elegance and sophistication, with a flirty-ness and a bit of humor," says James Gager, Creative Director of MAC Cosmetics. "The image captures her creations in a very magical way."

Guerlain Meteorites Compact 04 Dore REVIEW

As a perfect example of its beauty expertise, Guerlain has transformed its legendary Météorites pearls into a stunning compact. The pearls are finely pressed to form a beautiful mosaic of light-enhancing and corrective shades. Together, they create a subtle and natural effect by giving every skin tone just the right amount of light and correction. The Météorites signature palette of corrective matte shades - refreshing pink and light-catching mauve - gently balance the complexion, while the dazzling pearls temper the shades’ intensity and blend harmoniously for perfectly tailored luminosity. The complexion glows with purest light. The skin looks soft, smooth, delicate and beautifully natural.

Meteorites in compact? Let's try I thought. I'm huge fan of Guerlain especialy of Meteorites balls. There are quite a few tins on my vanity desk. 

I got the pressed Meteorites as a gift from my hubby who knows how much I adore it. 

After couple of weeks I can easly say : YES THEY ARE PERFECT! 

Fragrance is fantastic - the same as Meteorites balls! 

My powder is in shade 04 Dore - I thought it will be perfect for spring/summer time for a lightly sunkissed skin. Besides I'm lucky owner of balls Meteorites in Clairs so it's always nice to try something new. 

It's very well pigmented.  Gold dots to illuminate, while fuchsia dots joyfully revive radiance and chocolate dots warm up the skin. It’s a translucent pink with subtle warm undertones and a very subtle sheen. I love it! Looks really good on fair skin tones but gives nice glow also to medium. I'm Mac NC25 and this shade works perfect for me as spring/summer powder. 

I can use it as a finishing powder on my foundation or just to highlight the G zone. I like to wear it with my Dior BB cream it gives me nice and healthy looking skin.

Really love this product and I am so happy that finally I will be sble to take my Meteorites for any kind of trip with me, as in compact it's super easy! 

Really tempted to get other two shades, but ... Rainbow Pearls are teasing me more ...

TERRACOTTA TERRE D'ÉTÉ TAN-ENHANCING BRONZER SUMMER 2015

TERRACOTTA TERRE D'ÉTÉ

TAN-ENHANCING BRONZER

An escape to unspoilt beach

To give a sun-kissed look to the entire face, try the Guerlain secret: trace a "3" on the skin. Apply the bronzing powder with a brush to the raised areas of the face by drawing a figure “3” on each side, from the forehead to the cheekbones, then from the cheekbones to the chin, finishing with a stroke down the neck. 

Terracotta is reinvented for a fleeting edition. In an irresistible XXL format, decorated with a unique design, Guerlain’s Tan-Enhancing Bronzer Face and Décolleté has to be the season’s most covetable collector!

The irresistible powder represents a motif of golden dunes, as if naturally sculpted by the gentle swell of the sea. Inspired by smooth sand bathed in summer light, it warms skin with a radiant glow all season long. Two shades come together to warm all skin tones with an exceptionally natural-looking radiant glow, which adapts seamlessly to a developing tan.

Its Tiare Flower fragrance leaves a gentle scent on the skin, instantly sweeping you away to an exotic far-off paradise…

Guerlain Rainbow Pearls New Summer Meteorites

When it comes to subtle brilliance, the whole rainbow is greater than the sum of its parts. “Light is broken down into the colors of the rainbow,” Guerlain Marketing Manager Lorane Knysz explains. “Once they are reunited on the face, they become pure light once more.” This concept behind the brand’s newly redeveloped version of its famous colored powder pearls is the guiding light towards dewy, glowing skin. Here, Knysz sheds light on the iconic radiant powder—by the numbers. RENEE TRILIVAS

234: Years ago the packaging inspiration—a jewellery box for the Queen of France—was created. 

186: Years since Guerlain beauty first launched.
“[As] a symbol of audacious luxury and absolute quality, [Guerlain] supplied the royal and imperial courts’ ravishing European princesses with the most precious perfumes and beauty products.”

27: Years ago the first Météorites powder pearls were created.
“For the first time ever, loose powder was fashioned in the form of perfectly round and extraordinarily soft multi-coloured pearls with an inimitable violet fragrance.”

25: Approximate number of pearls in each tin with 12 different colors total, edited into three color combinations.
“When white light passes through a prism, it separates into a spectrum of different colors. Inversely, all of these colors together recreate ideal light, which is used in photography and film to erase imperfections and soften features. Guerlain decided to use this technology to add dazzling radiance with unrivalled purity to women’s faces. A constellation made up of multi-coloured lights, Météorites envelop the skin in absolute radiance.”

18: Months it took to redevelop the Météorites formula.
“Women are looking for weightless textures with color-correcting and perfecting benefits. The formula includes the new Stardust technology—a pigment encapsulating a diamond powder—which diffracts the light so that skin’s radiance is instantly boosted.”

4: People in the entire world who know how to make Guerlain powder pearls.

2: Number of years it takes to train each one.

1: Sweep—in a “G” shape, appropriately—for instant radiance.

METEORITES RAINBOW : 

During summertime, the Météorites reinvent and adorn themselves with delicate and pastel colors… The mythical Pearls are declined in a subtle blend of light and bright colors to envelop the skin in a pure radiant halo of light.

A delicate violet fragrance, inimitable and totally addictive

Use Météorites Brush to apply evenly to the entire face to fix make-up and improve hold. For a greater boost of radiance, highlight the cheekbones and other prominent parts of the face: trace a G from the centre of the forehead, towards the top of the cheekbone, then from the bridge of the nose towards the chin.

TERRACOTRA LE PERFUM GUERLAIN -30th anniversary edition

TERRACOTTA LE PARFUM

EAU DE TOILETTE - 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

The allure of the sun, in a bottle!

As a 30th anniversary tribute to Terracotta, and for the very first time, Guerlain’s in-house perfumer Thierry Wasser interprets the legendary powder as a fragrance – a sun-soaked invitation to explore faraway lands. An irresistibly sensual composition, exotic and luminous, inspired by the radiant realm of Terracotta.

The fragrance’s intricate harmony opens on captivatingly fresh notes of bergamot, before developing into a heart of tiaré flower and ylang ylang. One of Guerlain’s emblematic ingredients, ylang ylang infuses scents with its warmth. Its sweet, sensual signature finally reveals a delicious vanilla-tinged dry-down.

Clinique all about eyes rich review

•  Finaly I finished it, was ok but I need something more for my eyes area. 

  

  
  

  Moisture-rich eye cream diminishes the look of undereye circles, shadows, fine lines-instantly and over time. De-puffs, calms with botanicals. Helps boost natural collagen production. Strengthens skin's moisture barrier against common irritants. Ophthalmologist Tested.

•  

• How to Use

• Use twice a day, morning and night.
• Prep skin for optimal results with your 3-Step Skin Care routine.
• With ring finger, apply sparingly to entire eye area using a gentle patting motion.

Good eye cream for dry skin, in my opinion. Did not feel it did anything for wrinkles but it is a good dose of hydration. Significantly better than lots of gel creams I used before + good base for makeup.

Had no issues with it, will repurchase for the winter time when my skin gets very dry.

Recomended for young skin 20+ . 

Happy Easter to all my readers

Happy Easter Everyone!

Soon I will come with more news and more reviews ! Stay tuned!

Thank ypu for all the support !!!

DIOR EYE REVIVER EYESHADOW PALETTE SWATCHES AND REVIEW

T

Dior's awakening effect complete eye look palette creates an instant glowing and eye-opening result. Featuring Glow-Mimetics technology, the universal and ultra-luminous neutrals widen and illuminate the eyes. Complete with a shadow base, four shadows and one gel liner.

More infos you will find in mu post from 9th February 2015

This palette is one of the best palettes I ever had. Must say that I'm a big fan of natural eye shadows palettes and I'm happy to collect them but THIS is amazing! 

It letting me create light and natural day look and also super smokey eye for night out. 

And the gel eyeliner it's everything ! Fantastic when you traveling, the big mirror is a great idea. 

5 neutral look ( nude ) eyeshadows , first one beige ( base ) which is mat, the others are very well pigmented 

There is also 1 satin finish shade, the caramel beige, along with 3 darker shimmery colors. 

Definately a MUST HAVE of the seanon if you are fan of Dior. The price is high so if you looking for something cheaper go for Naked Urban Decay.
