Mischo Beauty: Guerlain Spring 2010 Makeup Collection

What's not to love about Guerlain's newest makeup collection? It's lux cosmetics at its best! And if you haven't seen the collection in-person, then you need to run to your nearest makeup counter THIS weekend!

The collection, called Cherry Blossom, is described as "la vie en rose with an Asian twist". The blush (Blush Eclat in Cherry Blossom) and eyeshadow (Eye Shadow Palette in Jeu D'Ombrelles) were inspired by the colors, tones and softness of the Far East's Cherry blossoms.

The lipstick girl in me (yes, I do prefer lipstick over lip gloss- any day!) loves the two new lipstick lines- Rouge G le Brillant and KissKiss Strass. Both are sheer (which makes them perfect for a day look) and deliver high-shine.

Oh, and I can't forget to mention the luxurious packaging! Again, lux at it's best! Wouldn't you agree? And I must know- are you a lipstick or lip gloss girl, and why?!

Mischo Beauty Loves Givenchy Les Poetiques 2009 Fall Makeup Collection

Based on the items I was sent to try from Givenchy's new Les Poetiques makeup collection for fall 2009, I will tell you that you won't be disappointed! The collection includes soft, neutral, sheer/shimmery shades and honestly, at first glance, I thought this was a spring or summer collection. Givenchy's Artistic Director for Makeup, Nicolas Degennes, states:

"From wintry winds to the winds of time, echoing melancholy's mire, beauty emerges so sublime, painting a landscape of desire.... Poetically, it borrows from the natural and enhances it with mystery. The dream emerges... a bed of roses... a stormy night... a first kiss... in a watercolour of emotions. Each woman has her mood, and each day, its surprise. Like feelings that "flood" the face, "Les Poetiques" naturally reveals the high-romance femininity of the Givenchy Woman. Each passion, and each woman, is unique."

The star product of the collection (which I've said before) for me was definitely the Phenomen'Eyes mascara, which is now available in No.4- Poetique Grey Lavender. This mascara in general, regardless of the shade you choose, is definitely the best luxury brand mascara, because it works! Anyway, I'd love to hear what you all think about this collection or Givenchy makeup in general. Please share!

Mischo Beauty Loves Givenchy Makeup

Let me be sure to clarify and let you know that I love what I've tried thus far of the Givenchy makeup collection- which is the Magic Kajal Eye Crayon - No.1 Magic Black, Precious Sari Glitter Eyeshadow- No.1 Maharani Silver and the Phenomen'Eyes Mascara- No.1 Phenomen'Black.

The Magic Kajal Eye Crayon, inspired by the kajal (or kohl) worn by some middle eastern women, contains wax and oil which explains why it glides on so smooth. It's a must for a "smokey eye" look! The idea behind the Precious Sari Glitter Eyeshadow was for you to be able to create a "mirror-embroidered" look (often found on saris) on your eyelids. It's a gel, so it goes on wet and dries to a sheer glittery finish.

My absolute favorite, of what I've tried so far, was the Phenomen'Eyes mascara! I'll be honest and tell you that I really wasn't sure of what to think after seeing it's ball-shaped brush/tip, but after witnessing the effect it had on my lashes- well, my lashes started speaking for themselves. AMAZING! It's patented spherical brush grips each lash, while lengthening, separating, curling and adding volume. Very, very impressive!
