Le Metier de Beaute Fall 2011 Empress Lip Kaleidoscope

Yesterday I brought you the nail polishes for the Le Metier de Beaute Fall 2011 collection, today, I bring you the Lip Kaleidoscope (my counter hasn't received the eye one yet, so, don't worry, I will have to move on to a new brand tomorrow). 

The left most swatch is the colors layered bottom to top, the next four swatches are in order bottom to top.  Be sure to click to make this picture larger to see all the detail. 

The bottom shade is a gorgeous plummy purple with loads of shimmer.
The next shade is a pinky nude with green (yes, green) microshimmer.
The next is one of the most gorgeous reds I have seen in a while, deep and velvety.
The last is the traditional sealer color, almost clear with a tinge of pink and pretty, subtle shimmers.

As with all the lip kaleidoscopes, the texture of all of these is fabulous and rich.  They can be layered any way you would like, I have just always been told the lip kaleidoscopes are meant to be layered bottom to top (but who listens to rules anyways??).

I think this kit is absolutely perfect for fall.  If I pick up anything from the fall collection, it will probably be this (the eye kit doesn't look like it's my colors).  This retails for $95 and can be found at Neiman Marcus. 

Le Metier de Beaute Fall 2011 Nail Polishes

Today I bring you Le Metier de Beaute's new nail polishes for fall. Thumb is Urban Dweller, pointer is Anatolia, middle is Silk Road, and ring is Dynasty.

These are the usual small size with the new $10 price (yay).  The formula of all of them was smooth and non streaky.  These are 2 coats over what I already had on (a sparkly pink). 


Will you be picking up any of these shades?

Jacquard, Giorgio Armani Fall 2011 Collection

My local Neimans finally received the Armani Fall collection!  This collection consists of two eye palettes, one cheek palette, two blushing fabrics, four Rouge d'Armani's and one new color of Eyes to Kill Mascara. 

First up, the three palettes. 

The first four swatches are eye palette 2, the next four are the face palette, and the last four are the eye palette 1.

Next we have the Rouge d'Armani's and the blushing fabrics. 

The first 4 swatches are the Rouge d'Armani's: 108, 107, 406, and 525.  The blushing fabrics are scarlatto and carmel.

I'm not so sure about Carmel, but Cassie, the Armani makeup artist at Neimans, claims it's beautiful sheered out.  Since I didn't bring any of it home with me yet, I will have to take her word on it.

Last but not least.

  Eyes to Kill Excess in Night violet, so gorgeous.

As you all may or may not know, Neiman Marcus if having a beauty event in the beginning of September.  The pre-sale starts on September 6th and I was lucky enough to see the gift.

The gift includes: Regenessence Youth Regenerator Serum, Multi-corrective Regenerating cream, Eye Rejuvenating Serum, Fluid Master Primer, Luminous Silk Foundation, Fluid Sheer 2 all with a gorgeous gunmetal colored bag.  I am unsure of how much you need to purchase in order to qualify for the gift and I forgot to ask (sorry).

Of the Fall collection, I am really curious about that face palette which looks gorgeous and I imagine is amazing blended together.  I also think the Blushing Fabric in Scarlatto looks to die for.


If you want to pick up any of the items from this collection and don't have a counter near you, you can reach Cassie of Neiman Marcus Fashion Valley at 619-692-9100 x2094

Chantecaille Fall 2011 Lip Chics

Chantecaille is releasing two new lip chic shades for fall 2011.  When I visited my counter the other day, I was lucky enough to see them in person.  Unfortunately, I only had my phone with me, so sorry for the sub par photo. 

Left is Calla Lily and right is Violetta. 

I have reviewed my lip chics here, for ideas on formula. (spoiler: I love them to death)

Fall 2011 will also feature a four pan palette with a sheer pearl, a neutral lid shade and a plum liner with a classic pink blush.  There will also be the addition of a new eyeliner formula, gel liner pencil, in black and gray.  Chantecaille will be releasing a lash growth product as well which they have combined with the classic Faux cils mascara formula to create Faux cils longest lash mascara. 

Have you tried the lip chics? Do you think you will pick either of these shades up?

I have my eye on Violetta and the gray gel pencil, but we will see once I am able to play with them.
