I just opened the press release for Lancome's Spring 2012 collection. I had to post it because it looks like a spring collection should look like. It is bright cool waters and whispery pinks. Like a tropical paradise.
You just want to jump in that picture. I love the looks of the pink powder with the etched Lancome rose and that lipstick tube. I am currently having a "mint" moment.
I have been "missing in action" once again. I want to thank everyone who has checked in with me on twitter.
A special shout out and thank you to ellemazing101, selfstyledsiren, boisdejasmin, alyssaharad and lipstickrose for the final push to get this blog back into gear. My friend Christine is going to revamp and convert the blog to Wordpress. If you have any ideas to make this site better and modern....please contact me or leave a comment. I have been out of the game...so I need to know what gets on readers nerves...besides not blogging!
Back to spring and new beginnings.....
Inspired by a rose garden on a balmy, tranquil afternoon, the collection features blush, eyeshadow palettes, and lip colors in soft pinks and greens.
Aaron De Mey hoped to capture the palette of summer nature, translating water, sun and sky into makeup shades that illuminate both sun-kissed and fair complexions.

Coach: I am not back 100% yet.
Just trying to get into the swing of things.
Need to really tackle a review!!!!!!
Good to see you back on the blog!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! You have always been one of my favorite blogs and I was really missing you and wondered if you were going to close up the blog. I'm glad you are back. I love your reviews and for many years read you daily.
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so happy to see you post, Annie. And with such a delightful subject. The presentation is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat rose-embossed blush is so pretty... right up my alley! xo
ReplyDeleteI missed you! Welcome back.
ReplyDeleteLove you and your reviews.
P.S.
I like your blog just the way it is.
Wordpress is cumbersome.
Just my two cents.
Hey welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my fave blogs because you edit your reviews well. A lot of blogs now have too much stuff and seems to be writing about every little press release come their way.
We get all the swatches and photos and the general deluge elsewhere. I come here for the insightful review of a well edited bunch of beauty and perfume stuff, done respectfully and with zero snobbery.
But! Do what makes you happy!
I love the kit. I like the colors on this.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see you are back!
ReplyDeleteI am loving everything Lancome is doing right now!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, just seeing this now! So happy you are returning to your post!
ReplyDeleteLove the review! So glad to see you back!
ReplyDeleteLove to try that perfume or buy herbal incense online
ReplyDeleteThanks for another awesome blog post! Good luck with the move to WordPress. I am sure it will be a success as WordPress is a good content management system!!
