New Limited Edition Makeup Collection: Guerlain by Pucci {Beauty Notes} {Beauty News}
Guerlain and Emilio Pucci have partenered up to design a line of makeup that will be available from May until August 2007. The colorful stylish and very Pucci packaging was inspired by a scarf Pucci created specifically for the project. You will now only need to complement the look with the upcoming fragrance by Bond no 9, Bryant Park .....
"Billed as the line's star product is an Eye Set in a zip-up case that can be reused. It contains a "kohl & eyeliner" mascara, plus a four-color eye shadow palette. The Eye Set costs 68 euros, or $88.40 at current exchange rates, in France and $75 in the U.S.
Also in the collection are Guerlain's signature Meteorites pressed-powder beads that come in the scarf's colors; so, too, do its outer packaging and the fabric case holding the brush applicator. A 33-g. Meteorites container is to sell for 42 euros, or $54.60, in France and $50 in the U.S. The brush will retail for 28 euros, or $36.40, in France and $35 in the U.S.
Guerlain for Emilio Pucci's 5.1-g. blush mousse goes for 32 euros, or $41.60, in France and $39 in the U.S. The 5-ml. lip glosses come in four shades, each of which is to sell for 23 euros, or $29.90, in France and $26 in the U.S. Two glosses combine three colors recalling the Pucci scarf's swirls."

Dear Marie-Helene,
Hi ! Once again you have outdone yourself ! Love your news !I went to Guerlain - Bergdorf Goodman for their special event . I ended up being seduced by the national Fragrance manager Maryline - from Dieppe , Normandy ! Lovely, charming blonde lady. I didn't want to - BUT-- I ended up buying La Nuit D'Amour . What do you think of it ? Do you know of it ? It cost Alot of $$$ for the Eau de Parfum spray ! I read some review after I bought it - very disappointing . Anyway, npt that I will be on the breadline (almost ) but I feel I was subtlely pressured into buying it .
Has that ever happened to you ? Anyway I had a good time - flitting around BG - checking out the parfums avec plaisir ! I found another one that I like .. L'Artisan Fou D'Absinthe - a dark green potion - very sexy ! Are you going to the NY Sniffa event ?
Hope all is well with you !
Dear Madelyn,
It sounds like you had a lot of fun! No, I'm not planning to go to the Sniffapalooza. Haven't tried La Nuit d'Amour -- for some reason I did not hang out much around Guerlain counters when I was in Paris.
Oh, it's too bad you felt they used pressure -- you shouldn't feel any, however subtle:)
