Giorgio Armani Summer 2009 Collection - Bronze Mania

So far, I have not used any makeup from the Italian company Giorgio Armani. Living in the non-NYC area, this company is not available at most of the stores near me. However, I have heard many raves about this company so I have decided to look online at their new collection for this summer. This collection is called Bronze Mania and the look is bronze skin, stronger eyes, and minimal lips.

Here are the products...

Sienna Minerals Bronzing Palette - Giorgio Armani captures the vivid earth shades of the sienna landscape in an explosion of vibrant mineral colors. Melted together into a fine Microfil texture, this palette is a unique tapestry of sun-splashed colors. Like a picture taken from the sky, the sun-infused palette earth tones present an all-over blush to bronze and sculpt the face for a golden bronze/reddish-brown glow.

Mediterranean Palette - Limited Edition eye palette, features cool colors of the Mediterranean sea: shimmering turquoise, and deep aquamarine, as well as warm shades of iridescent golden sand and copper mahogany. Also features our most popular bronzer shade.

Body Tints Bronzer - Giorgio Armani's unique weightless pigment free formula blends onto skin. The universal natural bronze shade leaves your skin with a subtle sun-kissed effect. The water-soluble formula features a pleasant gel texture.

Bronze Sparkling Top Coat Mascara - Leaves your lashes with a subtle and luminous glow. A touch of sparkling bronze top coat adds golden hues to the tips of your lashes. Features a professional comb applicator that achieves perfect lash separation and definition.

Smooth Silk Eye Pencil - This silky soft formula allows for precise, easy application and versatile looks. Use it to subtly define or intensify your eye look. Glide the smudger over eyeliner for a sexy, smoky result. Available in a subtle palette from pale taupe to soft black. Silky-soft and rich color pencil. Precise application. Smudge for smoldering effects. For an ultra-glamorous look, extend the eye pencil slightly outside the outer corner of the eyes. Build in other eye lining colors with the Eye Liner Brush and moistened Eye Shadow.

Lip Wax - Lipstick without excess. A modern version of lip color, Lip Wax compact lipstick is a blush of color for the lips. The incredibly smooth and silky texture glides over lips leaving rrich, tailor-made color. The ultra-fine and soft Micro-fil veil ensures a smooth and seemingly weightless result. Like a second-skin garment, the weightless texture dresses lips in a comfortable and an extremely fine film of color with a sophisticated satin finish. To obtain a more precise dsitribution of color, apply with the Giorgio Armani Lip Brush. For a sparkling shine, add a layer of Giorgio Armani lip shimmer.

Lip Shimmer - Embellish lips with this iridescent, sparkling gloss. Lavishes lips with a sultry veil of color. Leaves a shimmering, elegant finish. Paint your lips with the precise brush applicator. Sophisticated, shimmering translucent gloss. Unique high precision brush applicator. Add Lip Shimmer over Lipstick to give more depth, intensity, and shine to the shade.

Hmmmm...I am beginning to get excited about this line of products. I really want to try the Lip Wax since I have heard many raves about it. Since I have been a lip gloss freak for the past few weeks, I really want the Lip Shimmer too. The Mediterranean Palette also looks like a product that will be topping my shopping list. I am curious about the Bronze Top Coat Mascara, i would love to see if it will make my eyes more blue without looking obvious.

Verdict - I need to get the Saks in New Jersey and begin to add this line to my makeup collection
