This season, Lancôme draws inspiration from “effortless, made-in-Paris chic” for their latest cosmetic collection out in stores mid-September. Paris is a city defined by a “je ne sais quoi” timeless beauty and is home to some of the world’s most gorgeous and sophisticated women. The L’Absolue Désir Collection is effortless, understated, elegant and chic. Encased in gorgeous black and gold packaging with beautiful lace detailing, this Fall collection is sure to make a statement.

Blush Rose Désir is Lancôme’s stunning new precious powder blush with two light-infused shades (orange & pink) suitable for all complexions. This product is so beautiful… both in the compact and on the skin. If you are only planning to pick up one item from this collection, I would recommend getting this blush. The orange tinted shade can be used to sculpt the cheeks and the pink shade to warm the top of the cheekbones. The all-new packaging design is reminiscent of a postcard from Paris, complete with the Eiffel Tour, roses and lipstick kisses… For perfect application, the blush comes with an exclusive, ultra-precise, double-ended brush.

Purple Fiction  (185) – intense plum
