A Work Of Art For Your Makeup Bag

Have you seen this new Dior eyeshadow palette. It is so cool it literally stopped us in our tracks. "Les Tablettes de Bastet" is an original work of art by French painter and sculptor, Vincent Beaurin. This collaboration carries on a connection with the art world that was very important to Christian Dior. According to Beaurin, the shades - sapphire, saffron, and silex are meant to place
"the practice of make-up in a much wider expanse of time than just a single season."
We'd carry this in our purse any time of year. The tablettes are available at Avenue Montaigne Dior boutique in Paris.

Nars Spring 2013

Spring cosmetics launches are just around the corner and we're adding Nars to the list of products we're dying to try. Following the Warhol Collection, Nars has kept Spring 2013 super simple, allowing the shades to be hero. And with a color palette this bold, how could they not be hero? A duo palette for the eyes with a bright green and blue, deep plum and coral shades for the cheeks and shimmer gold for the lips are a bit 90's and a nice change from last season. The iconic Stella Tennant is the face of the collection, beautifully described by Nars as... "renowned for her bold style and irreverent beauty."

RMK Spring 2013

Here's a peek at RMK's Spring 2013 "Flawless Airy Matte" Collection. We're loving how the translucent packs really showcase the shades. The shade palette is made up of lovely, Spring pastels with out being too 'Easter'. The blusher and shadows come equipped with soft, puffy sponges that look like a breeze to use and give the airy, fresh feel of Spring.
