Sophistication intersects with sensuality while edgy meets elegant with the NARS Fall 2009 collection. Fanciful and moody hues harmonize in shimmering and matte finishes on the eyes, while lips and nails are striking in variations of playful plums.
The collection is available now at Nordstrom and will available at other NARS counters and NARS online starting in August.

Armani Privé
Models were fresh faced and sported strong brows and a hint of colors on their lips. They also wore identical short, black wigs.




Chanel
A nude fresh face paired with fiercely, thick, black winged out eyeliner.




Christian Dior
Everything was dramatic, from the bright bold lips to the colorful eyeshadows and dramatic liners to bold brows to the super curly hair.




Givenchy
Most models sported a nude fresh face with hair slicked back. Others had sequins on their face as well as a neutral smoky eye.




Jean Paul Gaultier
Smoky chocolate eyes paired with either a nude or crimson lips. (Loved this look! By far my favorite of all the runway shows)

The British cosmetic brand, Illamasqua, is finally hopping across the pond and will be available stateside via Sephora. How awesome is that? Squeals, I’m so excited!
The entire line will be available online starting on July 21st. If you want to see the line in person though, you might have to wait a little bit longer. The brand will be launching their first counter at the Sephora Times Square store n July 30. Then more stores will start carrying the brand in the fall, with the rollout completed by Christmas ’09.
