LoL, Andrea

From azure blue and hibiscus pink eye shadows, to coral lipstick and peacock green nail varnish, this summer the Dior woman as conceived of by Tyen, creative director of make-up, is a bird of paradise resplendant in the warm, festive tones of the new make-up collection. Inspired by Christian Dior's passion for color, the new collection tells the tale of an exotic faraway. For the occasion, the legendary 5 Couleurs case is coated with shimmering pigments, inspired by the golden reflections of a peacock's feathers.

The Jelly Lip Pen carries the names of colors that allude to paradise - 516 Copacabana, 636 Carioca, 476 Ilhabela, 656 Gaïa. The Dior Addict Lipstick - 771 Passionee, 751 Exotique, 471 Flamingo, 431 On The Beach. And Diorskin BB Cream appears for the very first time in a suncream version, with the power to prepare, enhance and prolong natural tanning, all throughout the year. Lip Maximizer Collagen Activ - Dior presents a revolutionary lip care system that boosts volume instantly and restructures in the long term, thanks to a unique blend of hyaluronic and marine-based fillers that smooth, moisturize and leave lips irresistibly plump.

Beauty | Golden Jungle by Dior Fall 2012 Collection

Among her many other pursuits, Carine Roitfeld styled this striking campaign for the Dior Golden Jungle Fall 2012 beauty collection which debuts next month. Carine has infused the advertisements with a glamorous 1920s vibe, j'adore. Daria Strokous models the golden makeup beneath a leopard hat from the Fall 2008 couture collection; Steven Meisel photographed the glowing campaign. It seems everything Carine touches turns to gold …

In February 1947, Christian Dior presented his first collection to the international press in the Dior salons of Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Along with the Huit and Corolle lines that would inaugurate the era of “The New Look,” the couturier revealed another of his favourite themes: Leopard Print. Fashion editors were smitten, the room burst into applause and women rediscovered the mysterious allure of this iconic, timeless print.

At once avant-garde, sophisticated and sensual, the Jungle Motif has been a signature of the House of Dior from its debut. Actress Marlene Dietrich and the muse and friend of Mr. Dior, Mitzah Bircard, were its first fervent ambassadors. With each decade and runway show, variations of leopard print are cleverly reinterpreted by Dior Couture. In the Dior Autumn/Winter 2012 makeup collection, Tyen revamps the Jungle Motif with another hallmark of Dior, a touch of shimmering gold, embodying the luxury of the urban jungle and inspired by the deep, earthy tones of the jungle.

I’m a huge fan of the Dior palette compacts. The compact themselves are always classy looking and something you want to show and the products inside never disappoint. And for fall, who doesn’t want an animal print?! Dior's Golden Jungle palette - the animal “print” of eye shadows are a trio of nude, medium brown and deep brown in a trio of textures - iridescent, matte and satin. Inside the compact is also a nude lip gloss which is smartly covered by a silver lid that goes directly over the lip gloss so not to mix with the eye shadows. This would be a beautiful compact that is wearable by most skin tones and definitely a hit for women over 40. Important to know: This is a limited edition palette. When they’re gone – they’re gone!
