Spring 2008 Collections

[miu_miu]

This thread is for all the Spring 2008 make up collections. Since not every brand has it's own thread, we thought it would be a good idea to put on their new lines into one place

If you have used any of the products, have any swatches etc...please post your thoughts here

I'm starting with Nars, it's one of my favourites!

I am loving the Spring 2008 CHANEL collection! I'm loving the Blue Satin nail polish and the Le Blanc de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base is amazing! Makes my skin look flawless; I've gotten so many complements on my skin since I started using it. Unfortunately it's LE so I think I'm going to have to buy several more.

Le Blanc De Chanel looks promising!

Le Blanc De Chanel looks promising!

It really is one of the best makeup purchases I have made in a long while. I have gotten so many compliments - it's unbelievable! Unfortunately, it's sold out everywhere around where I live so I'm going to have to wait to stock up.

 

[Stasha]

Now I'm even more excited, but unfortunately I doubt we will even get it here. Hope I can find it!

For me it evens out my skin tone, helps my makeup go on, and adds luminosity. Here's a link to the product page at neimanmarcus.com

Guerlain SS08

Playful, she doesn’t hesitate to mix classical with contemporary styles.
Cultured, she never misses the latest art exhibit, concert, and new novel.
Gourmet and passionate, she’s a real connoisseur of fine food and drinks.
She is totally alive, in every way.
She works. She plays. She travels.

Immersed in the marvellous retrospective universe of the Summer of Love, she discovers the 1970s and the fabulous psychedelic wave, Pop Art’s creative rage, the wild fashions in Swinging London and the no less vibrant Paris, the riot of colours, the striking shapes, completely re-invented objects, and liberating music.

Ombre Eclat - 4 couleurs - Fleur de Feu

A whole new look: the fusion of contrasts and genres. An explosion of colours in a discreetly elegant case…

A floral print, with a touch of psychedelic against a backdrop of ash grey and radiant, inspired pinks: Fleur de Feu. An extraordinary South African flower that, with its radiant pink petals, mocks the surrounding land, ravaged by fire. The symbol of nature’s triumph. The ideal metaphor for casting off gloom. A joyous triumph over yesterday’s pessimism.

The case, a gracefully elegant case, a true work of art and object of passionate desire, is designed by Hervé Van Der Straeten for Ombre Eclat Eyeshadow, and reinvented in black gold for Fleur de Feu.
