This collection is based on the blooming of the peony plant that always occurs in late spring and continues into the beginning of the summer months. I have a peony plant in my yard and I always look forward to when all the pink flowers bloom and make my entire yard very fragrant. This collection is named Pivoine Flora and is series of pinks for a look that is naturally beautiful. The L'Occitane website gives the following description of the new makeup collection, "Every year in May, as the spring breeze caresses the peonies, they seem to come to life, dance and spin like graceful ballerinas..."
Here is the collection...

- Cerise - shimmering crimson red
My favorites pieces of this collection are the lip products and the eye shadow quartet. The eye shadow quartet will be perfect to create a more subtle lilac eye, I don't know much about the pigmentation from this company but I doubt that it will be as impactful as that of MAC or Urban Decay. I am a bit afraid to order this product from the website since I can't try them out so I will either have to drive out to a store or find dupes of them. I love shades from both the Lipstick and the Lip Glosses. The Lipstick choice for me will be the Rose shade, this one will be an easy rose for me to pull off, both with a tan and in the winter months. I also love the Cerise on first glance, but I would order the Rose shade first to see how this formula works and if I would like it in a more dramatic red. Lip Gloss-wise, I need that Rose shade, I bet this one will be perfect for a naturally pretty look.
I will be conservative in ordering the makeup the first time, the Rose shades will be easy for me to pull off whatever the pigmentation ends up looking like on. I really wish that Sephora would carry this color line in their store...
