L.U.C.I Eyes
Light Color in Motion Eye Shadow Duo

You might notice that there are two other shades available in this collection. These colors are only offered in Europe.
The blue is the shade of a robin's egg. The green is actually the shade of fresh spring grass. They each come with the handy photonic shade. This is a opal wash that just manages to make everything look better. It is the secret weapon of the shell.

This is the first time I have seen the packaging in real life. I loved the clam-like shape with the exaggerated rose design on the cover. It was the perfect combination of Gucci Westman and George Jetson.

It is Gucci Jetson.

I'd rather have roses on my table (or on my feet)
than diamonds 'round my neck.

There were many highlights from my Paris trip.
One of them being this pair of heels worn by Juliette Bincohe. They took my breath away.

The rose is the official symbol of the Lancome company. You can spy the flower on everything from the packaging to the ingredient list on many of the fragrances. Lancome also owns the bragging rights on being responsible for producing one of the great rose fragrances of all time. 2000 et une Rose, now known as Mille & Une Roses is exquisite.

Juliette Binoche and Laura Morante have been chosen to represent the revamped Renergie Anti-Ageing line. They were lovely and generous.

Several bloggers were able to pose questions to the stunning duo. I was able to ask Juliette what her favorite Lancome product was. Juliette is an early fan of the new Renergie mask. She is smitten with the texture and fragrance. She loves masks in general because she does not have to do anything. It was fun to hear that Miss Binoche likes to be sluggish occasionally.

Juliette's skin was distracting. She did not have a visible pore and seemed to just glow. Her blush was just a hint of pink and her lippie was this flattering glistening mauve shade.

Tresor is a perfume with a past, with a memory . You feel when you wear it that you can't be forgotten. (Isabella Rossellini)

The second Tresor was launched in 1990. It was created by the queen of roses, Sophia Grojsman. This scent mixes a spicy Otto rose with a heavy apricot note. The apricot is dense, rich, full of nectar and slightly musky. It is this note that makes the whole fragrance slightly naughty and fleshy. The middle notes are peach, jasmine, lilac, lily of the valley(greenish),iris & heliotrope(gives it a powdery vibe)and ends with a drydown of candyish vanilla, sandalwood, amber and musk.
Last year I discovered a Lancome history book at The Strand in NYC. It was written by Jacqueline Demornex. The pages revealed a slew of Lancome fragrances I have never experienced. There was a Tresor that was launched in 1952 and was described as "a fragrance that combined the magnificence of the orient combined with the taste of Paris".

Present day Tresor is very sultry yet ladylike to me. Like a bottled up Dita Von Teese. You can imagine a woman in a proper Dior suit with Agent Provocateur knickers underneath.
Tresor is available at your local Lancome counter worldwide. I recommend the EDP for it's strength and staying power. The EDT is lighter and less powdery.

Me and my PS Kiss are back from our Paris World Tour.

The trip was lovely and amazing.

PS Kiss enjoyed touring the Eiffel Tower while my personal favorite moment was a violet pastry from Laduree. Of course, no Paris trip would be complete without my beloved Behnaz. Here she is at Les Georges....

I promise to spill more details throughout the week. Right now I am staring at the piles on my desk...and feeling overwhelmed.

I will be MIA for the next few days. I am leaving for Paris in the afternoon. It is another whirlwind trip that promises to be amazing and magical.

I am taking my Behnaz lippie and my nails are painted with Butter's nail polish in Come to Bed Red. It is a perfect match!

My fragrance choice is up in the air. I am going back and forth between Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur and Bois de Paradis. Then I think I need to bring a Serge and 2000 et une Rose.

Hopefully I will have time to make decants before I go.....

What fragrance would you bring to Paris? Let me know in the comments. Suggest anything.

Have a great weekend everyone!
