Givenchy Fall 2008 Collection

One line that I haven’t tried anything from yet is Givenchy. Their colors and fragrances have never really had the ability to capture my business thus far. Until now. I fell instantly in love with their newest mascara offering the second that I saw it in a Sephora email. With that as the spark, I decided to do some investing about this line and look at all they had to offer in the area of makeup.

There are two must have products from this collection; the Pocket Beauty Case and the Prisme Again! Shimmer Eyes Limited Edition. I have seen both of these products in the beauty areas of the fall magazines but had never really given much thought to them other than liking them on first sight. We will discuss the Pocket Beauty Case first. It contains a pinky pigment that can be used on lips or cheeks and is housed in silver pocket-watch like accessory. Prisme Again! are two eye shadow compacts that allow the user to create the uber popular smoky eye look. Smoky Shimmer contains black shades and pigments to create a darker eye; Precious Shimmer contains one dark black shade and gold, pink, and white pearlescent shades to create a lighter smoky eye. These are housed in compacts that are based on the concept of the Givenchy suit. These two products alone throw Givenchy into a spot for front runner of the best fall makeup collection.

Oh but there is still more! There are two new shades in the Rogue Interdit lip color collection, Romantic Dandy and Fatal Dandy. Romantic Dandy is pinkish beige to giver a naturally flushed and innocent look. Fatal Dandy is just the opposite of this. It is an elegant red meant to draw major attention to the lips of the wearer. There are also two new shades of the Pop Gloss, also called Romantic Dandy and Fatal Dandy. Think the previous two descriptions lightened up on the pigment with a shimmery texture. Most importantly, Givenchy released a new shade in the Captiv Eyes mascara. Following the trend of this collection, it is called Dandy Black and it the deepest black that can be found in a mascara formula.

I haven’t even begun to discuss what originally drew me to this collection in the first place; the brand new, ultra innovative Phenomen Eyes Mascara. However, with all the raves about this product, it is important enough to me to warrant its own write up. So, my dear readers, you may have to wait a turn for me to write all about this amazing piece of craftsmanship in a mascara tube.
