Believe it or not, but we will start seeing Spring 2013 makeup collections in December/January which is not that far away so  maybe it’s time to take a look at some of the them?

Today I want to show you Givenchy’s  Hotel Privé collection which, according to Nicolas Degennes (International Artistic Director) is a collection that “conveys a subtle, natural elegance. Colours that express gentle pleasure and cosy intimacy. Textures that are easy to use. The very definition of refined, low-key luxury.”

The inspiration for this collection were the various French hotels Mr Degennes stayed in, their atmosphere, colours, materials, the feeling of comfort they give.

The products are:

ÉCRIN PRIVÉ Eyeshadows, £46

This palette looks very luxurious, although I personally do love the signature prism design of the brand. There are three (mica free) mattes shades:  taupe, grey and natural beige. The fourth shade is a  iridescent rose milk pink highlighter.

ROUGE INTERDIT, £21

• N° 59 Private Peach,
