Bobbi Brown Holiday 2010

Described as a "Tribute to Hollywood's Golden Age..." Bobbi Brown Holiday 2010 Collection looks is fit for a movie star. Each pack leverages the Bobbi Brown crest in a way that feels retro modern even though the date reads "EST. 1991." To even further the lux experience, each piece is housed in a high gloss black and gold carton.



















Thanks to Hot Beauty Health for the photos.

Youth Code, the new anti-aging line from L'Oreal, claims to use "gene science" to improve skin quality... Instantly.

Revlon Fire & Ice

Tapping into its heritage, Revlon has re-created the Fire & Ice campaign, circa 1952. The print ad stars Jessica Biel and was shot by Mario Testino as tribute to the original. Revlon has brought back its vintage logo on each of the packs, and with it, some vintage glamour. The products will be released for a limited time in December.


MAC Marcel Wanders Collection

MAC has teamed with Dutch industrial designer Marcel Wanders to create their annual couture collection. The line will be available in stores for only four weeks, starting November 24th. Described by Wanders himself - each piece was designed with his "personal heritage... a little bit of old and a little bit of new" in mind, with the aim of assigning value to each piece.

"I like the idea that this is a tool that becomes a jewel..." -Wanders

Here, some of Wanders earlier work.
