Make Up For Ever Très Vichy Spring 2011

Available Now

Straight from the couture runways, freshen up your look for spring by embracing one of fashion’s most iconic patterns, Vichy, French for gingham, in a beautiful new way.  MAKE UP FOR EVER is celebrating this eye-catching motif with a limited edition collection of vichy inspired products that will add a soft touch of femininity to spring’s make up palette.

The limited edition Très Vichy collection includes two duo eye shadow palettes, a new Faux Lash and four new Star Powders to achieve this fresh-faced yet glamorous make up look.  In creating the new Très Vichy collection, MAKE UP FOR EVER Creator & Artistic Director, Dany Sanz, drew her inspiration from French fashion icon Brigitte Bardot, who was responsible for making the vichy pattern a worldwide trend in the 1960’s.  True to the nature of fashion, what’s old is made new again as this eye-catching design resurfaced on the runways at top fashion shows including Christopher Kane and Repetto.

Très Vichy Eye Shadow Palette ($31)
These original eye shadow palettes contain shades of fresh pink and white with sparkling shimmer effects (Vichy Blossom Palette) or shimmer and iridescent effects (Vichy Trendy Palette).  MAKE UP FOR EVER Eye Shadow and Diamond Shadow provide long-lasting, highly pigmented color to lids.  Each shadow is finely textured and blends easily to create flawless looks.

Vichy Blossom Palette (#1):

  • Diamond Shadow #301 – white shimmer
  • Diamond Shadow #303 – pink shimmer

Vichy Trendy Palette (#2):

  • Diamond Shadow #301 – white shimmer
  • Eye Shadow #85 – candy pink


Très Vichy Faux Lash ($19)

As the latest addition to MAKE UP FOR EVER’s natural faux lash collection, this limited edition Faux Lash is adorned with a hand-made bow in an Indian Pink and White Vichy Pattern.  Hand-made from natural hair, each lash has an extremely thin base to blend in with the natural lash line.  Faux Lashes come with a special adhesive to keep lashes in place for as long as you want, and every lash is reusable for more than one wear.

Très Vichy Star Powder and Diamond Collection ($22)
The new Star Powder Diamond Collection takes our traditional multi-use shimmer powders to the next level for an even more radiant glow.  Available in four new shades for spring, these loose powders can be used alone or layered with virtually any other product for instant shimmer.  New shades include:

  • Star Powder #67 – diamond white
  • Star Powder #68 – diamond pink with purple highlights
  • Star Powder #69 – diamond pink with golden highlights

January 30, 2011

MUFE Lab Shine Lip Gloss ($18) is a lightly textured gloss that delivers spectacular shine with a gorgeous pop of color. This gloss combines camelina oil and mother-of-pearl particles that reflect light to create incredible shine that adds volume to the lips. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, it provides intense hydration with a non-sticky texture for a noticeably moisturized pout. Its subtle apricot fragrance also adds a sweet scent to your lips.

Available in 35 shades across three unique collections: Diamond, Star, and Metal. The Diamond Collection includes 12 shades that give natural looking color with sparkling, sheer coverage. The Star Collection has 14 shades with a pearly shine for medium coverage. The Metal Collection consists of nine highly pigmented shades that offer full coverage with an intense, chrome finish.

Recommendation: Non-sticky gloss with good pigmentation, including the lighter colors. Lab Shine Lipgloss leaves your lips super shiny without an overwhelming scent. With 35 shades there are a variety of colors to choose from. I also really like the brush applicator instead of the doe foot. A flexible brush makes it easier for my to apply lip color.

Formulated with an exclusive pigment complex for ultra-rich color, the formula contains 50% more pigment than traditional lipstick formulas, providing high coverage and immediate payoff in one application.  The creamy texture glides onto lips effortlessly and a combination of derived ceramide, sterol and nylon powder adds moisture for comfort during wear.  The pigment complex combined with vegetal castor oil and polybuten polymer work to optimize the color intensity and provide intense color payoff.  And, a mix of natural vegetal waxes including candellia, rice and beeswax help fix the pigment to the lips for long-wear.

Recommendation: Very pigmented long lasting lip color in many shades including black! It does have a smell that I associate with lipstick so if you don’t like that scent you might want to skip this.
