PARIS PASSION
The Yves Saint Laurent woman is free-spirited, and in love.
Passionately Parisian.
An abundance of colors brimming with light.
The magnetic intensity of stormy shades…
The Paris sky moves her heart to the capital’s vibrant beat.
An evanescent complexion.
Eyes dressed in celestial hues.
Lips that are fleshy, voluptuous, sassy…
Bemused and bewildering, she only reveals herself to those filled with desire.
Who is she?
Multifaceted and unique, the Yves Saint Laurent woman is a dream.
THE Y-MAIL PALETTE
COLLECTOR POWDER FOR THE COMPLEXION
The “it” Complexion
In a nod to the accessories in the Y-Mail collection, the Yves Saint Laurent address appears on the season’s star palette. Engraved on the compact and stamped in fiery letters on the black mini it-bag, it announces a new manifesto of ultra couture beauty.
Inside, two power harmonies kiss the complexion with the first rays of spring sunlight.
Dawn pink, mauve and beige…
A highlighter with tones as delicate and comfortable as cashmere gives the face a scintillating halo, for a natural-looking, almost ethereal effect.

FACE HIGHLIGHTER N° 1 – Pearly Finish
A pastel bouquet, shocking pink, rosewood…
A sparkling blush harmony unifies the complexion, making it glow with protective (SPF10), transparent freshness. The textures are silky and packed with radiance-boosting pigments.
BLUSH HARMONY N° 2 – Silky Finish
A message of Parisian elegance and couture fashion that accompanies you to the ends of the earth.
MAKE-UP HARMONIES
Paris Desire
Springtime in the City of Light awakens her desire. The complexion is pure and luminous. The Parisian sky is reflected in the eyes. The lips shimmer with the promise of a stolen kiss.

Sensual, passionate … her beauty is an enigma.

Estée Lauder Introduces
Blacker Than Black
A Luxurious Collection of Rich, Intensely Saturated Black Mascaras and
Sultry, Smoky Accents for Big, Bold, Dramatically Alluring Eyes

Now beautifully bold, dramatic eyes are just a wave of the wand away. Don’t be shy, make your eyes the center of attention with Estée Lauder’s new Blacker Than Black eye collection. This unique collection features five of Estée Lauder’s most popular mascara formulas each in a richer, more concentrated, more dramatic shade of black for eyes that appear bigger, bolder, more dramatic!
Because the mascara is so concentrated, it creates a contrast that defines and frames the eyes for a look that is at once highly sophisticated and utterly alluring. And, whether your look calls for lashes that are lengthened, defined, volumised, lifted, curled or a combination, you can achieve the look you want as each of these luxurious mascaras offer the same unique benefits as their original formulas, but now with the deepest, intense jet black effect.
Complete the look with the Blacker Than Black collection’s new, limited edition, Signature Eyeshadow Quad in four sultry, beautifully smoky shades that add even more to the bold look and Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in an intense black shade that adds luxuriant definition and complements perfectly the mascaras’ rich black hue.
Be bold and dress your lashes and lids in dramatic Blacker Than Black for a rich, smolderingly smoky eye—for day, for night, for any event.
A Selection of Richly Saturated, Intensely Black Mascaras
To achieve the intense jet black color, the scientists at Estée Lauder maximized color intensity and opacity using select Carbon Black and Black Iron Oxides and putting the pigment through an ultrasonic process. The result is pure, dramatic and intense jet black in a collection of six luxurious mascaras:
Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara in Blacker Black offers dramatic length and sensationally long wear in one effortless stroke and won’t budge, smudge, smear or flake for up to 15 hours.
Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara™ in Bold Black turns even your sparsest lashes into daringly full, lavishly lifted lashes without the clumping, spiking or weight normally associated with volumising mascaras.
Projectionist High Definition Volume Mascara in Jet Black envelops each individual lash with high volume and exceptionally sharp definition for a sleek, striking look.
TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara in Turbo Black combines an innovative formula and brush design with a unique, power-performing, micro-pulsing effect that enables the brush to penetrate deep into the lash bed and comb through lashes more quickly and effectively, delivering all effects – volume, length, definition, separation and curl – in one tube.
MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara in Black transforms lashes with dramatic volume, making them appear extravagantly full for a powerfully eye-opening effect.
All mascaras are Ophthalmologist-tested, safe for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes and fragrance-free. Each uses the same great brush design as used with the original mascara. For easy removal, try Estée Lauder’s Take It Away Total Makeup Remover or LongWear Makeup Remover Towelettes. Double Wear Zero-Smudge Mascara removes easily with warm water and cleanser or any Estée Lauder long-wear makeup remover.
Sultry, Smoky Eyeshadows and a Sleek, Intense Eye Pencil
The Blacker Than Black collection of mascaras is perfectly complemented by Estée Lauder’s new Signature Eye Shadow Quad in Black Smoke. This dramatic eyeshadow quad includes four beautifully rich shades to create the perfect smoky eye. The eyeshadow features a silky, microfine powder that won’t crease, gliding smoothly onto lids and blending seamlessly for a flawless look that stays-true all day. Packaged in a signature navy blue compact, this attractive compact can go anywhere for a glamorous day-to-night transformation.
Instantly frame eyes and complete the look of rich, smoky intensity with Estée Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in Onyx. This pencil’s unique lightweight, creamy formula glides on effortlessly for rich, stay-true color that sets in seconds and wears for 12 hours.
Turn heads with a sophisticated and smoldering dramatic eye look with Estée Lauder’s Blacker Than Black collection. Wear it on impulse. Wear it for fun. Wear it and get noticed! Available at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and www.esteelauder.com.au beginning February 28, 2010.

Napoleon Perdis Curates Makeup Collection Inspired By The Zodiac
Napoleon Perdis is ushering in a new era of star power—but not the red carpet variety. Launching in
February 2010 is “Astro Girl,” a spellbinding makeup collection inspired by astrological colours and
celestial style. The line consists of four limited edition Prismatic Eye Shadow Quads, each one embodying the elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Additionally, for the time of the promotion, Napoleon Perdis consultants will customise makeup kits for each client based on the colours associated with their sign.
The out-of-this world shades within each quad can be worn alone or as pairs. A pro-tip on each box explains how to weave together all four shades in a compelling look. The pigment-rich shadow colours have a shimmering luminosity, and can be applied wet or dry.
Now you can also display your zodiac colours with your makeup, and use their strength to add balance to your life, promote tranquility and create a sense of well-being.”
PRISMATIC EYE SHADOW QUAD: FIRE
“Where there’s smoke—there’s a passionate fire sign!” -NAPOLEON
Fire signs are take-charge, self-assured and enthusiastic beings. Our Fire
quad celebrates that verve with coppery red for Aries, deep gold for Leo
and vivid purple for Sagittarius. Use the pink shade, representing the
Moon, to blend or highlight. PRO TIP: For mercurial eyes, press purple
onto the mobile lid, and sweep red lightly through the socket. Then pat
gold onto the inner corner of the eye and work pink onto the brow bone.
For a celestial glow, dust pink onto the high points of the face—
cheekbones, forehead, bridge of the nose and chin—for pale skin tones.
Use the gold if you have a medium or dark skin tone.
PRISMATIC EYE SHADOW QUAD: EARTH
“Practical, dependable and reliable—Earth signs are easy to admire.” -
NAPOLEON
For all their vaunted earthiness, Earth signs also appreciate a little decadence
and dazzle. The Earth quad boasts brilliant blue for Taurus, metallic olive for
Virgo, and bright jade for Capricorn. Use the coral shade, representing the
Sun, to blend or highlight. PRO TIP: For supernatural glamour press olive,
jade or blue shade onto the mobile lid and sweep coral through the socket for
subtle definition. Also tap coral onto the cheekbones for an instant pick-meup
and onto the lips with clear gloss for an ethereal lip shade.
PRISMATIC EYE SHADOW QUAD: AIR
“Air signs are chatty, friendly and sociable. What’s not to love?” -
NAPOLEON
The horoscope’s most affable signs are also among its most intellectual. Air
types will appreciate this brainy selection of hues. There’s vivid yellow for
Gemini, salmon pink for Libra, and electric lilac for Aquarius. Use the
gunmetal shade, representing the Moon, as a definer. PRO TIP: For
sublime peepers, line with the gunmetal shadow, wet or dry, apply pink or
lilac to the mobile lid and socket, and finish up with a lick of yellow below
the inner corner of the brow.
PRISMATIC EYE SHADOW QUAD: WATER
“Water signs will make a splash with this riveting quad.” -NAPOLEON
Sensitive, sensual and creative are among the hallmarks of Water, which are
brought to life in this edgy quad. There’s silvery white for Cancer, deep
charcoal for Scorpio and bright turquoise for Pisces. Use the pink shade,
representing the Sun, to blend or highlight. PRO TIP: For dramatic beauty
press charcoal onto the mobile lid, and sweep turquoise lightly through the
socket. Then pat pink onto the inner corner of the eye and work white onto
the brow bone.
ASTRO GIRL
Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad - RRP: $49

vixen collection available in australia february 2010
Seduced by the allure of just-bitten lips and seductive smoky eyes, Mineralogie’s NEW Autumn collection celebrates the world’s obsession with blockbuster hits, such as Twilight.
“Creamy complexions, sexy eyes and glossy lips have seen a massive recent resurgence on runways worldwide and Mineralogie’s new Vixen Collection makes it easier than ever to pull off this classic seductive look,” says
Antonella Mastromanno, National Sales Manger for Mineralogie Australia.

The Vixen Collection includes an eye shadow palette with three glamorous shades (Twinkle, Glam and Vixen) that can be worn alone or layered to create an alluring smoky eye. “The pressed mineral eye shadows are a big hit with makeup pros because the pigment is beautifully rich, blends easily and has long-lasting wear.”
Lips and cheeks are complemented by a dusky pink blush (Starlet) and a slick of barely-there gloss (Entice). “A nude lip is gorgeous with a smoky eye but Entice can also be worn over any lip colour to add instant shine and lustre.”
Brows have been back in the spotlight for several seasons and a groomed, well-defined brow is still a beauty essential. “Mineralogie’s brush-on brow gel takes just seconds to naturally enhance brows and comes in two shades,
blonde and brunette.”
Mineralogie is made of 100% pure minerals and contains NO talc, starch, dyes or perfumes. The formulas are hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic and are recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

THE BRONZING AGE
The era of radiance

“Fake it. Don’t bake it.” - Napoleon

If you really want to glow this hot season, look no further than Napoleon Perdis. Australia’s best-known cosmetics house has a collection devoted to summer radiance, and the best part is it removes sun from the sun-kissed equation. The line spans five products that approximate a healthy, glowing tan. Benefits range from rejuvenation to anti-ageing, hydration and even improved skin elasticity. A plethora of oils such as jojoba, lime, hazelnut, rose hip and cinnamon leave the skin feeling luxurious and nourished. Customers who purchase any product from the Napoleon Perdis summer collection in October will receive a fabulous gift: a Bronze Age Click Pen. This convenient pen dispenses the right amount of gilding powder to highlight your cheekbones, enhance your décolletage and create a tawny all-over glow. “The bronzing pen really is mightier than the sword,” quips Napoleon Perdis
This season, follow these steps to achieve the perfect sunless tan:
Step 1 Slough away dead skin cells—and the cold weather blues—by prepping your skin with the Smooth Over
Body Scrub, a delicate salt scrub delicately that provides gentle yet effective micro-exfoliation. As skin is polished
smooth, Chamomile and Calendula provide calming benefits and Aloe Extract soothes.
Step 2 Choose from an aerosol or mousse formula to create a golden colour.
· Summer Sun Self Tanning Spray takes the guesswork out of tanning by delivering a controlled mist to even the hardest-toreach
areas of your body, while the formula is quick-drying. Star ingredients include Chicory Extract, which revitalises and
stimulates skin, Vitamin E which hydrates, and Aloe Vera to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
· If you prefer a mousse, try Summer Lovers Self Tanning Mousse, a streak-free formula that glides on easily with Aloe
Vera and Apricot Oil to hydrate and protect the skin.

Enhancer. The decadent souffle-like consistency deeply moisturises skin with Olive Oil, Almond Oil,
Shea Butter and Hazelnut Oil and enhances your goddess tan.

Oil to soothe. Ideal for summer’s barely-there dressing.

Les Poétiques, Givenchy - 2009 autumn-winter collection

The key to this poetic narrative is a romantic pink.
Gloss Poétique , a pink gel in a black case, creates natural-looking lips, and pink lies at the heart of the two tumultuous Prismissime Eyes palettes, the collection’ s must-haves.
The packaging again draws inspiration from a story told by Nicolas Degennes, portraying a poetic watercolour of flower petals.
Prismissime Eyes
Limited Edition - Eyeshadow Prisme 9-Colors

If, as poets say, the eyes are the mirrors to the soul, Prismissime Eyes will capture it.
Pink is painted into two iridescent harmonies, in shaded hues ranging from lyrical browns “Poétique Browns ” to fanciful blues “Poétique Blues ”.
Nine pans of three shades each offer an infinite number of looks, from the softest to the stormiest.
Intense blue “Poétique Lavender ”, enhanced with blue pearlescent particles, elegantly underscores deeply shaded eyes in perfect harmony with Phenomen’ Eyes and Prismissime Eyes limited-edition shades.
Use each prism separately; the inlaid shades have been mass-blended to ensure homogeneous and intense colour. Or, play with layering and graduated shading. Apply the darkest colours at the base of the lashes like eyeliner. A “little trick” for more intense colour: apply it over a black pencil base. Gently blend.

Rouge Interdit Shine
Limited Edition - Ultra-Shiny Lipstick
Rouge Interdit
Limited Edition - Satin Lipstick Irresistible Color
Because words need to be framed. Two new shades, “Poétique Iris ”, a pink tinged with blue, and “Poétique Camélia ”, a coral pink with pearly white highlights, accentuate a melancholic natural look with a satiny matte or a more sparkling effect. Add dabs of Gloss Poétique to personalise them with your natural lip colour.
Phenomen’Eyes
Limited Edition - High Precision – Panoramic Mascara – Perfectly Curled and Separated Lashes
Givenchy’ s “star ” mascara comes in a new shade,
“PoétiqueGrey Lavender ”, a black tinged with grey-blue. A tempestuous colour to soften and emphasise the eyes.
