Pierre Hardy for NARS Collection
Items: Blush (B1,650) available in two shades and nail polish (B1,000) available in six sets with two paired shades each.
The inspiration: Pierre Hardy must have had a say in the colors, of course. But the two shades of blush are also stamped with a golden shimmering cube perspective pattern which is the French designer’s signature print. For nail polish, Hardy pairs the polish colors in set boxes designed according to his A/W 2013 signature shoebox packaging.
Why it’s hot: NARS’s blush is famous for its silky pigment that is easy to apply and gives a healthy natural blushing look, while the additional golden shimmer in this collection provides a glowing finish. Aside from the beauty of the design, the color is bold and money-saving when comes in set.
Bobbi & Katie Collection
Items: Bobbi & Katie Palette (B3,000) and Bobbi & Katie Mini Brush Set (B3,100).
The inspiration: The collaboration between Bobbi Brown and American actress Katie Holmes (Dawson’s Creek, The Ice Storm, Batman Begins) takes inspiration from Holmes’ busy life as an actress and mother. The palette is designed to be a one-stop kit of eight shades of eye shadows (that can be used as brush on, too), two shades of lip colors and a mini pencil liner. The Mini Brush set comes with a cosmetics bag that includes a blender brush, eye shadow brush, eye-sweep brush and a smoky eye liner brush.
Why it’s hot: Very convenient if you’re in a rush or traveling as the selected shades in the palette work for nearly all skin colors, mix and match perfectly and work for both day and night looks.
RiRi ♥ MAC Fall Collection
Items: Eye Shadow (comes with four shades per palette available in two different selections, B2,040), Lipstick (four shades, B890), Lip Glass (B890), Pro Longwear Lip pencil (2 shades, B980), Extended Play Lash (B940), Liquidlast Liner (B1,050), Veluxe Brow Liner (B980), Powder Blush Duo (pink blush with matte bronzer B1,160), Powder Blush (B1,120), Cream Color Base (B1,020) and Brush (B1,550 for eye brush and B2,350 for blushing brush).
The inspiration: MAC’s upcoming fall collection expresses the sexy and exotic character of the pop superstar and recent visitor to Thailand Rihanna through the use of metallic pink to copper. It’s all designed to create her look, from the nude daily makeup to the plum lips for your wild nights out, but the essential item remains her Cream Color Base to get that bronze-glowing finish.
Why it’s hot: The cute packaging (pink heart logo, Rihanna signature) is already a collector’s items for fans but we do encourage
you to pick and choose from the collection, rather than get the whole lot.
