Images of Chanel's Spring 2010 makeup collection - Les Impressions de Chanel - have hit the Web and I'm digging the sandy campaign photos and muted spring colors. You don't often see gray, clay-like hues in a spring color collection but the shade seems to make it into a nail vernis and eye shadow which I'm very excited about. At right is a face powder from the line, but for the really juicy pics keep reading.

Pictures of the Autumn range from NARS have hit the web, and it looks like it's going to be a good one. Comprising two new duo eyeshadow (Isolde and Cordura), one new single eyeshadow (Fez), one blush (Dolce Vita), one lipgloss (Female Trouble), one nail polish (Rebel Yell) and two new lipsticks (Beautiful Liar and Senorita) it looks like the collection of soft browns and reds is going to be a popular one. That nail polish in particular looks perfect for the toes!

HQHair.com are currently offering a free Nars make-up bag and lip gloss in Rose Gitane if you buy any two products from their Nars stock. Use the code NARS before 4th July to take advantage of the offer.
Top of my list of must-haves is the Multiple in Orgasm (£27). It takes the classic peachy-pink shade of the bestselling blusher and repackages it in a does-it-all stick formula. Perfect for perking up your skin on holiday. The lipgloss in Sunset Strip (£17) is another I'm finding myself using a lot at the moment. The hot coral looks a bit scary in the tube, but on the lips it's a perfect, shimmery Summer shade of peach. Finally, the single eyeshadow in 'Galapagos' (£15) from the Exotica Summer 08 collection looks like the ultimate shimmery golden brown. I might be tempted to use it as a bronzer too!

Nothing causes a commotion in our offices quite like the arrival of new designer perfume products. Today a small crowd gathered around the latest ancillary offerings from Tom Ford Black Orchid - the Body Cleansing Oil (£32 / $45) and Finishing Oil Spray (£32 / $48)...

Emily Tan writes: Inspired by the 19th Century Dandies, Givenchy's "Dandy Collection" mixes and plays with masculine and feminine elements to create an elegant, edgy, and flamboyant look. This look contrasts a strong dark-toned smokey eye in masculine greys and purples with sweet, delicate feminine baby-pink lips and cheeks.
These elements are carried on through to the packaging, with the LE Pocket Beauty Case designed to appear like a delicately etched men's pocket watch compact. Retailing at £33, the case opens to reveal a pink and white pearly highlighter than can be used on the cheeks and lips.

Sadly I'm wondering whether this straightener actually counts as the world most over-priced as I'm sure lurking around somewhere you'll be able to get gold plated babies as toted by the likes of Paris Hilton & co, but for us mere mortals the Limited Edition C2 Crystal Hair Straightener £399 from Shear Beauty is probably more than we'd ever want to pay for a hair gadget. It's not even like the 2553 Swarovski crystals add extra shimmer or shine to your hair (now that's a cool idea- work on that) but they do make the Corioliss straightener shine.

Ooh I love this! There's something about novelty limited editions that really gets my heart racing and this cute and quirky lip gloss ring, $68 from Nordstroms completely fits the bill. It reminds me a little of Marc Jacobs Daisy design, but is full of a fabulous new flavour, the Juicy scent! The ring is 14k gold plated and would look lovely on your finger.. or in your mouth!
