Givenchy Je Veux La Lune Fall 2011 Collection

Givenchy Je Veux La Lune Fall 2011 Collection. If you want to get a sneak peak at some of the hues that will be hot for fall 2011, Givenchy has just released their first fall collection. Looks like dramatic lips are once again on trend. Look below for more details.



Love, fear, fascination, curiosity; all these emotions it brings out, don’t they just make you want it, with all the superstitions and fantasies? Poets’ escape to an imaginary world fevered by its mysterious face of many messages. It influences nature and sentiments and exerts a magnetic disturbance on our will… I love the Moon for the femininity and softness that it suggests, for its light and shadows, for the adorning veil that it delicately places over our lives. To want the Moon is to want what seems unattainable; that is exciting! But technological advances have now made fanciful lunar voyage possible as well as the mastery of light in this collection. Les Ombres de Lune, illuminating powder and intense shadow, are the coalescence of this fantasy source light and contrasted moon. The desire to create shadow where there is none inspired me to a great extent; deflected moonlight that gives a different angle to reality. I wanted to take a cinema makeup technique that has always intrigued me and apply it to beauty. The “American night” demands a different way of working with light; complexion must radiate in bold contrasts, like for a black and white image. I wanted the Moon…For you. — Nicolas Degennes

Les Ombres de Lune




An illuminating powder for cheeks, eyes, complexion and an intense eye shadow for a twilight effect.

* Lune Mysterieuse No. 1 Black moon in a creamy white sky
* Lune Mordoree No. 2 Night blue moon in a golden sky

NYX Cosmetics Lets Many Beauty and Makeup Buyers Down With The 12 Hour Sale

NYX Cosmetics Lets Many Beauty and Makeup Buyers Down With The 12 Hour Sale. For those of you who didn't know, NYX was celebrating it's 12 year anniversary with a 12 hour sale. Which lasted from May 15 p.m. until 12 a.m. Everything in the sale was featured at a low price of $1.20. Sounds like a great deal right? I actually found out about the sale this morning (otherwise my lovely readers would have been well informed). Not that it mattered anyway since many of the beauty buyers trying to get trough to the sale were unable to make their purchases.

Many sat around for hours refreshing their pages and trying to get through with their orders. Some were even able to get to checkouts only to find products which someone else put in their carts. Needless to say thousands are disappointed including myself, and the NYX facebook page is filled with comments from
disappointed customers many boycotting the brand. So far NYX is willing to offer a 50% off discount that can be used for a week and free shipping but there is a catch. You have to individually email them in order to get it. Again not a very good idea NYX ( should just post a code into their twitter or facebook page). I'm informing all of my readers of the situation and if you do want to get the code the information is below.
