SS16 Beauty Picks: Urban Decay, Lancome, YSL and Too Faced

With so many new launches, I’ve decided to highlight those that caught my attention, so here is a preview of the new products for the complexion, eyes and lips that I think look amazing.

Too Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Eye Shadow Collection, $36 available from Sephora and Too Faced from the end of February.

I personally am a big fan of Too Faced eye shadows and these look beautiful and fun. The shades are:

•  Spread the Love( Medium Peach with Gold Sparkle) Peanut Butter (Matte Medium Orange Brown) Peanut Butter Cup (Metallic Golden Bronze with Gold Sparkle)
• Bananas( Soft Peachy Gold with Fine Gold Shimmer), Peanut Brittle( Metallic Burnt Orange), Jammin’ (Dark Chocolate with Golden Sparkle)
• Extra Creamy  (Matte Creamy Beige), Jelly ( Vibrant Orchid), Nuts About U (Matte Brown with Red).

YSL  Touche Éclat Neutralizer Colour Corrector (£25 from Harrods)

Several brands, including BECCA launched colour neutralizing products, and YSL released their cult Touche Eclat (I adore it, BTW) in three colour correcting shades:

Givenchy La Revelation Originelle Makeup Collection for Spring 2016

Givenchy La Revelation Originelle Spring 2016 makeup collection is exactly what we all need in January. Gorgeous highlighter, and refreshing pink for lips, nails and cheeks. There are also a brown eye liner, grey mascara and colourful eye shadows.

The star of the collection is definitely the uber gorgeous illuminator Poudre Lumiere Originelle (£41.50), an enhancing powder for an imperceptible, soft focus finish. It is a light pink highlighter  that leaves the skin radiant and luminous.  Quite possibly the most beautiful powder of the season.

There is also a new shade of the cult  Le Prisme Blush (£32) in 41 Lune Rosée which combines the following shades: peach, light pink, rose pink and coral. Seems like another must have to perk up the complexion.

I love the idea of the brand’s  Mister Scrub (£22 ) which is a gentle exfoliator in a stick format and  Mister Gentlebalm (£22) which is a lip balm that combines a moisture booster and a colour enhancer to nourish, hydrate and naturally reveal lip colour.

The nail polish in this collection is the pastel pink Le Vernis (£17)  in 29 Rose Divin

As for the eye products:

Lancome From Lancome With Love Makeup Collection for Spring 2016

With their Spring 2016 makeup collection – From Lancome With Love the brand is definitely aiming at the younger audience with the playful illustrations, tins the products come in and pastel shades.

The promo image with blue and pink shades makes me smile and think of a beautiful spring ahead of us. It looks romantic and carefree, if you ask me. And we all need that…

Vernis in Love, £13.50

• 146 Rose Haussmann
• 148 Corail de Ville

Here is a video with an  overview of  the collection. Lisa Eldridge demonstrates some of the products in action. Speaking of Lisa and Lancome, have you seen a preview of the Juicy Shaker?

The star of the release is My Parisian Pastels palette (£50/$59). It includes 9 shimmering pastels which can be used on the face or on the eyes.

There are also two cream  My Parisian Blushes  (£28/$39)in 01 Corail de Ville and 02 Rose Haussmann.

Products for lips are:

SS16 Foundations: Chanel, Dior and Laura Mercier

Besides the lipsticks, the other makeup product almost every brand is bringing out for SS16 is  foundation. And while cushions and foundations with the dropper  (BECCA, Stila, Kiko Armani, Rouge Bunny Rouge etc) are having a real moment this season, “classic” foundations are still going strong.

And here are three that caught my attention with the official description:

Chanel LES BEIGESHealthy Glow Foundation (£36 from Selfridges)

“An invisible foundation that creates a natural healthy glow by giving skin the radiance of a day spent outdoors, while protecting it from harsh environmental conditions. The perfection of a natural glow. With a range of subtle, easy-to-wear beiges, CHANEL’s Healthy Glow Foundation frees women from their fears of using foundation and gives every skin tone a lasting healthy glow. The soft and comfortable texture glides over the skin and melts away. The texture becomes imperceptible and allows the skin to breathe freely, while protecting it from harsh environmental conditions. The complexion is evened-out and enhanced with a sheer finish.”

Dior Diorskin Forever Perfect Makeup Broad Spectrum,  ( £33 from Selfridges and from $50 from Saks)

“Everlasting 16-hour perfection from morning to
