Napoleon Perdis Two New DéVine Goddess Lipstick Shades

Our Lips Are Sealed—But Only In Lipstick by Napoleon Perdis
Celebrate the Return of Lipstick with Two New DéVine Goddess Lipstick Shades

“I never forget that a woman’s first job is to choose the right shade of lipstick.” So said the bawdy Thirties screen siren Carole Lombard, and this season Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics is also drawing attention to the role of lipstick.
Napoleon Perdis is expanding his legendary lipstick collection, DéVine Goddess, with two arresting new shades, elevating the line to 18 singularly beautiful colors. “It’s time to put that gloss down and revisit the allure of lipstick,” says Perdis, “and we have a shade for every mood.” The DéVine Goddess collection is informed by mythological beauties—like Aphrodite, a brilliant blue-red—and modern-day muses. “Lipstick is the perfect year-round accessory,” adds Perdis.
Joining the vibrant collection are new shades Anna and Lianna, as different from each other as their inspirations. The former is named for Anna Vissi, the Athens-based, multi-platinum recording sensation often referred to as the “Greek Madonna.”
“She’s an undeniable beauty, an icon in Europe and we’ve worked together several times,” says Perdis. The latter shade is named for Perdis’s eldest daughter, a gorgeous 10-year-old girl who already has strong opinions on the subject of lip color.
“Lianna has grown up around makeup and she actually has great taste. Of course she won’t be wearing it until she’s older!” Like the rest of the DéVine Goddess collection, both shades have a creamy, dreamy texture and are longlasting. “Still, there’s something so lovely about taking time out in your day to reapply your lipstick, whether you do it with the reflective blade of a dinner knife or a mirrored compact,” says Perdis. There’s no denying that lipstick equates with knockout glamour, as testified by strong lip statements on the runways and the red carpet of late. “More than anything, lipstick can help you tap into your inner goddess,” adds Perdis, who has definitive application techniques to share. At Napoleon Perdis, lipstick is on the uptick.

DéVine Goddess – Anna (RRP:$33)
This ravishing raspberry shade glides on with a creamy ease, lends itself to exceptional wear and provides a shot of dewy sparkling shine. Laced with emollient-rich sugars, it’s also a nourishing treat for lips.
PRO TIP: Use a lip brush and build your coverage a little at a time. Always be sure to apply your lipstick all the way into the corners of the lips on both the top and the bottom. Do not apply over the outer edge of the lip line. Don’t forget to press your lips together slightly to ensure an even application.

DéVine Goddess – Lianna (RRP:$33)
A delicious sheer nude that creates a lustrous finish without overpowering color. A moisture-rich base, including Marigold extract and a high percentage of shiny oils, create a full, sexy pout every time.
PRO TIP: It’s a common misconception that you should line the lips before you apply the color–not so! Apply your lipstick and then use a pencil to line around the edges. The liner will glide on more smoothly, leaving a more natural outline but still preventing the lip color from bleeding.

Available at Napoleon Perdis Concept Stores, David Jones
and over 650 pharmacies and salons throughout Australia.

VS Sassoon Academy Tools Straightener VPS87A

VS SASSOON LAUNCHES THE ACADEMY TOOLS STRAIGHTENER. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL STRAIGHTENER, IT’S LOADED WITH FEATURES INCLUDING NEW HAIR-STYLIST MUST-HAVE, SOLTEC™ CERAMIC COATED PLATES. UP TO 50% SMOOTHER AND 20% HARDER* THAN STANDARD CERAMIC, SOLTEC™ GLIDES THROUGH HAIR, SMOOTHING, SHINING AND SEALING AS IT GOES. ITS GLOSSY RESULTS ARE BREATHTAKING!

If any look defined 2009 it was soft, romantic curls. Feminine and pretty, it stood bravely in contrast to hard-edge times and block-colour 80s revival power dressing. Now optimism is back and with it a whole new bevy of looks.
“Straighter hair now has its place again and you will indulge in pin straight hair this season for a sharper, more sophisticated look,” says multi-award winning Creative Director of é SALON, Emiliano Vitale. “We saw straight tresses throughout the awards season, which is not to say curls and the romance of past seasons are dead, they’re just neater and more defined with a glossy finish.”

The new VS Sassoon Academy Tools Straightener is just the tool to re-create some of the key looks for 2010 from straight up to neat curls. And at only $249.95 it’s astounding with its multitude of features that produce super salon results.

“The Academy Tools Straightener is truly amazing,” says Emiliano. “It leaves the hair feeling super smooth, and you can actually see the benefits of the SolTEC Ceramic™ technology with the incredible shine it gives the hair. The longer plates allow you to work with wider sections of hair, unlike other straighteners on the market, which is a definite time saver. You can also work effectively with short hair because the plates are still narrow enough to perfect a shorter style.”

Set to be the must-have straightener of 2010,  available through David Jones, Myer and Harvey Norman.

Napoleon Perdis Introduces High-Tech Skin Renewal Serum

Are You Ready Put Your Complexion on Rewind?
Napoleon Perdis Introduces High-Tech Skin Renewal Serum

Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics is bridging the gap between cosmetics and skincare. Recognizing that complexion perfection begins with your skin, Australia’s leading makeup brand is making a bold foray into skincare with an advanced age-defying elixir.
Napoleon Complex Skin Renewal Serum assists skin repair, protects against free radicals and promotes collagen renewal. Designed for day and night usage, and manufactured in Switzerland, the sophisticated serum helps combat the visible signs of ageing. “Over time our skin loses elasticity, smoothness and brightness, and the new serum aims to address this exasperating loss,” says Napoleon Perdis. “Now you can prep your base like never before.”

At the core of the formula is a natural blend of tri-peptides and active sugar molecules derived from plants. The formula also boasts Sodium Hyaluronate to enhance skin elasticity, Provitamin B5 to restore moisture, and a combination of Australian berry extracts, Pepperberry, Riberry and Muntari Berry, for their rich antioxidant properties.
The serum is free of parabens and suitable for all skin types. “It represents a brilliant addition to our Auto Pilot collection, which is all about prepping and perfecting your skin,” says Perdis, who debuted Napoleon Complex at New York Fashion Week in February.

“I used it on models before we did their makeup and it was extremely hydrating and nourishing. Fashion Week took place in the middle of winter in New York, with models racing from show to show, so it was a god-send. “

Also launching are Energizing Eye Masks, a four-pack of under-eye masks that help alleviate dehydration, wrinkles, dark circles and late nights.

The Auto Pilot collection is celebrated for its Pre-Foundation Primer, launched six years ago and regarded by women on at least two continents as a cult product. The priming range, which features an illustrated image of pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart on all products, also includes Pore Minimizer and Mattifier, Retouch Skin Smoothing Cream and Lip Service.
In 2008, Napoleon Perdis introduced a concentrated skincare regime, Auto Pilot Step 1, 2, 3, which employs an innovative water technology to hydrate cells, combat free radicals and assist in diminishing fine lines. Used in conjunction with the right foundation, the Auto Pilot collection is your first-class ticket to flawless skin.

PRO TIP: Every morning and evening, after cleansing and toning, smooth a few drops of Napoleon Complex over the face and neck and follow with your moisturizer. Follow with Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer, and your choice of foundation.
“Replace the wrinkle with a twinkle!” says Perdis.

Auto Pilot Napoleon Complex Skin Renewal Serum will retail for $79.
Auto Pilot Energizing Eye Masks will retail for $39.
