ESCADA CHERRY IN THE AIR

Anticipate the joyful days of summer with the new Escada Cherry in the Air.

Cherry in the Air is the enchanting new, limited-edition spring/summer fragrance from Escada – an irresistible scent inspired by the unmistakable, fresh and sweet scent of blossoming cherries.  As the first fruit of summer, a glimpse of cherries ripening in the trees instantly awakens the delightful anticipation of long, warm, carefree days ahead.  So colourful and delicious, their enticing aroma stimulates the senses, conjuring youthful daydreams of cycling with friends through the orchards of southern France and feasting on a fruit-laden picnic basket under a canopy of bountiful cherry trees.

Escada Cherry in the Air features a captivating blend of succulent red fruits and addictive gourmand notes that ignite zest for life and trigger the same joyful contemplation of fun-filled summers as flourishing cherries.

Escada Cherry in the Air is a light and airy reinvention of cherry that captures the irresistible quality of the fruit while simultaneously reflecting the carefree ‘joie de vivre’ that is synonymous with Escada.  Such delightfulness is achieved through an unexpected combination of juicy red fruits and an addictive marshmallow accord – the perfect blend of youthfulness and gourmand pleasure, made for sharing.

The scent opens with enticing top notes of black cherry and juicy raspberry, brimming with summer ripeness, while a hint of underlying mandarin lends an energizing burst of citrusy freshness.

In the heart, the lightness of gardenia petals is enriched with the gourmand creaminess of coconut orchid and warm vanilla.  Blending with the tempting marshmallow note, which is built around a flavous molecule, this playful accord gives the fragrance its unique character.

In the dry-down, comforting sandalwood, oak and musks blend with a creamy white suede accord that reinforces the alluring nature of the scent.

ME , The New Fragrance from Lanvin

The elegance of finally being…myself

“Stop, enough, let me vibrate, catch fire, love, captivate, become the woman I really am – a slipstream of energy that not many can follow, but one who also dreams of tranquil pleasures. Open Sesame and show me the way to being reborn to others, to think newly of myself, to affirm my difference, to admit that I love everything very much and even more… But where is the magic formula hidden? In the Lanvin Blue box in front of my eyes?

With a subtle gesture, surrender to sweet temptation.

Open and savor the anticipation of discovery, a delicate combination of desire to know, see, and feel. Hold it in my hands like an offering, this mystery-filled box in the colors of a Fra Angelico fresco, colors that bring to mind so many fashion shows, shopping trips, couture favorites.

Observe the fine gold tie embossed around the delicate box, an Ariadne’s thread linking surpriser and surprisee, intimately tying me to Alber through the magic of mystery. The bow pulls me close and beckons to be untied with my smile. Why wait when desire grows ardent?

Then see the name written with vivacity, two letters speaking to me, calling me; they are mine, I am theirs.

Wait no longer. Go into action with feverish delight and pull the bottle from its hedonistic gift wrap signed by Lanvin.

A form of glass, direct and powerful, feminine and filled with personality. A fashion message, a precious decanter, a jewel. A restrained and massive black cap contrasting with the lusciously thick bottle, made feminine, made fashion with the sparkle of a shining gemstone. The bottle works its intoxicating magic. I smile because Alber knows who I am and understands what I want.

Finally, uncap the promise of fragrance.

 

 

Is this who I am? Whimsical and bold, yet fragile? Has Alber dedicated this fragrance to me? The creator I love, the couturier whose baroque jewels, fertile imagination and talent combine to make me more desirable than ever?  The truth is that we are both this exceptional perfume. But I interpret it in another way, as Alber’s most personalized creation – a present, a gift, an ode that he has designed for me alone. With his passion, his discretion, his flights of imagination, his appreciation of all things delicious.

Conveying the secret wish to tie our souls and senses together with a drop of essence, with the caress of fragrance.

 

But in the end, who am I – this eau de parfum so patiently invented by Lanvin and Alber Elbaz for me? A sensual, independent, carnal, desirable, wild and assertive woman. Determined and loving with a touch of self-centeredness, too…

Alber was surely thinking of me when he stated that he doesn’t design gowns “for the men who fall in love with the women who wear them, but for women to fall in love with themselves!”

Well now I can confess it to him: in addition to being in love with his world and his creations, I have become his new perfume. Because of him, I will be able to dedicate each second, each minute, each hour, each day, my entire life to his cult. After all, isn’t his first fragrance for Lanvin symbolically meant for ME?”

Lanvin ME is styled as “a new sheer gourmand”.

“My inspiration comes from my addiction to liquorice wood and to an iconic ultrafeminine flower in perfumery: the tuberose. For Lanvin ME, I wanted to design a fragrance that unveils a bright and an addictive sensuality with the chic signature. I also wanted to add a dash of the blue of Lanvin with sparkling blueberry.” – Domitille Bertier

GUERLAIN BLANC DE PERLE MAKE-UP LESSON & ROUTINE

GUERLAIN MAKE-UP LESSON

Turning the spotlight on incredibly pure, translucent skin

 

Blush G Sakura

This four-shade blusher allows every woman to create her perfect colour: once combined, the two upper shades (coral and white) create a fresh, nearly-nude effect; the two lower shades (fuchsia and soft pink) are deeper in hue.

Play with the different shades to sculpt your cheeks: add definition by applying the two deeper colours either in a circle, for a baby doll look, or in a triangle, to structure the face.

 Météorites Compact – UV Shield Pressed Powder

When applied with a puff or brush immediately after the Blanc de Perle Fluid Foundation, Météorites Compact – UV Shield Pressed Powder fixes makeup and instantly brightens the complexion.

This magical radiance-boosting powder can also be used to brighten facial shadows.  Use sparingly over the top of the classic Météorites Compact pressed powder.

It can also be reapplied with a puff to touch up your sunscreen throughout the day, with the added bonus of matifying the complexion.

 

 

Blanc de Perle High Definition Corrector

Using the fingertips, pat this versatile corrector over Blanc de Perle Fluid or Compact Foundation to conceal dark spots, freckles or red patches instantly.  Then lightly powder over the corrector to fix it (using either beige section of Blanc de Perle Compact Foundation for greater coverage, or Météorites Compact pressed powder for a translucent finish).

To eliminate fine lines, apply the corrector before using foundation to the lower forehead, the nasolabial folds and the eye contour area and then, using a smoothing motion, blend in with the fingers.

To make the eyes look wider, the corrector can be used on the eye contour area, particularly at the outer corner.  Blend outwards over dark rings to make the eyes look brighter and more refreshed.

Finally, apply the corrector to under-eye bags, the bridge of the nose, the cheekbones and the tip of the chin, and blend in gently to brighten all areas of facial shadow.
