Solid Gold Design For Cosmetics

Benefit Cosmetics 24kt Collection offers some gilt-y eye catching bling, to add to the shopping lists of all true make up mavens.

Parisienne Pots of Pretty

Limited-edition Bourjois Rendez-Vous a Paris Single Eyeshadow Pots, $19 and Blush Pots tilt their dainty little lids to the brand's French heritage (Bourjois was initially used by French actresses in the mid-nineteenth century). Delightfully decorated with vintage images of Paris, true make up junkies will want all of them (in my opinion it's what's on the outside in this case).

Beauty in Bloom Book

From a celebration of makeup to finding inner beauty, from nature to notebooks and from perfumes to Paris, Beauty in Bloom is beauty book penned by Natalie Bloom that offers more than "how to's". With beautifully fresh illustrations, Beauty in Bloom is written from Natalie's heart and gives a personal insight into Bloom's creator and the soul of Bloom Cosmetics. Buy the book...

 

Boudoir and Burlesque Inspired Beauty Packaging

Burlesque is huuuge right now, and this includes beauty products. From precise matte 50's style make up to burlesque inspired packaging, girls are going silly over all things boudoir.

The Balm, sold at Sephora, has always has the aesthetic, but it is so hot right now...  especially Sexy Mama Blush, complete with vintage illustrated pin up girl and quilted bedhead. How I love padded upholstery.

Mac have release a stunning collection with such lush packaging...
