Pony Park x MAC Cosmetics
Pony Park, a make-up artist famous among both beauty addicts and Instagrammers, has reached international recognition thanks to her video tutorials and the incredible transformations into celebs she managed to create with makeup. MAC Cosmetics, this Fall, has launched a beautiful limited-edition collection in collaboration with the Seoul makeup artist with a tarot-inspired design, which sports an elegant blue/gold contrast and lots of sparkles. The collection consists of an eyeshadow palette, lip mousses, a plumping gloss, two highlighters, a makeup-fix spray, two brushes, and false eyelashes.
With a range of eight nuances from nude to beige, up to pink, the collection opens with a luxurious eyeshadow palette: a beautiful product that contains 8 eyeshadows with matte and shimmer finishes. The packaging is refined and modern at the same time and takes after the tarot of the Moon, symbol of mystery and subconscious desires.
Pony is, without a doubt, a Social Media #Girlboss and, as such, she needs to be always ready with a shimmery and selfie-proof complexion. To copy her look, MAC offers two new Skinfinish mono-highlighters in new iridescent shades. The collab carries on with a much awaited novelty in the lip department: the brand new MAC Lip Mousse. Available in 9 matte finish nuances, the lipstick’s formula promises to be ultra-light with a soft and wearable texture. With the same Insta-approved packaging of the Lip Mousse (which recalls the Star tarot), we also find a new lip gloss in a very light pink: a super shimmer product that’s ideal for those who love rocking naturally plumped lips, adding volume and a subtle touch of color.

Jackie Aina x Anastasia Beverly Hills
The last days of summer surprise us with yet another eye palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills: true to the now iconic buttery and easy-to-blend formula, and with a fabulous pay off that lasts for hours, ABH has presented another collaboration. In this case, the brand has worked in tandem with Jackie Aina to create the brand new palette Anastasia x Jackie Aina, which captures the glamorous spirit and facets of the famous American influencer and Youtuber.
The result is an eyeshadow palette composed of 14 shades that look perfect to create intense and luminous looks, also thanks to innovative nuances, such as a shimmery ice white or a taupe with metallic lavender undertones. The finishes range from matte to metallic and the shades, as often happens in the case of Anastasia Beverly Hills, stand out magnificently and are particularly suitable for an evening makeup thanks to the sparkling gold, champagne, warm pink and bronzed brown.
Among the new shades we can find Sponsored, a chocolate shade with petroleum facets, the metallic blueberry red of Wiggalese, a white ice with golden reflections that goes after the name of Trust Issues and the intense plum called Big Wig. We can always count on Anastasia Beverly Hills packagings to be extra and to attract attention: this one is unforgettable thanks to the slightly iridescent finish with a faux python texture, fully embracing Jackie’s style.

Jhené Aiko is the face of the new True Portrait vegan foundation
Kat Von D Beauty has expanded its collection of high-performance vegan products by launching a new lightweight foundation with a liquid-to-powder texture and fully vegan: the new True Portrait foundation. This product takes the foundation game a step further by offering a fully vegan and cruelty-free medium coverage and promising a perfect complexion. The packaging is, perhaps, among the most eye-catching and immediately recognizable innovations: a white and elegant packaging, with the chosen shade in plain sight to facilitate swatches, designed to achieve maximum precision in the application and to avoid waste.
Starting from the principle that the “mainstream individual” does not exist and that every person is different, the Kat Von D laboratories have developed a formula that is suitable for a large number of skin tones and undertones: in fact, the brand offers a range of 40 shades ranging from very light to very dark, which adapt to different undertones.
The texture of the product was created to control any unwanted shine through a unique formulation able to balance transparency and opacity. It also contains “Elastic Essence ™”, which allows the foundation to “move” following the facial expressions, so it never looks cakey and always stays in place.
The face of this new foundation is the American singer and songwriter Jhené Aiko, famous in the R&B scene and a passionate advocate for animal rights: what better face for a revolutionary and entirely vegan foundation?

His timeless patterns are inspired by his past, his love for the arts and his idea of feminine beauty, providing the perfect inspiration for a beauty collection created for a woman who expresses her personal style with confidence, celebrating individuality, uniqueness and personal expression.
The collection itself includes six makeup products, with mixed patterns and bright shades, created in close collaboration with the designer: thus the brand offers a mix of Estée Lauder must-haves and two new eyeshadow palettes, which happen to be extremely versatile, taking inspiration from Duro’s creations and expertise in combining textures, colors, and different finishes.
For starters, there are two new Pure Color Envy 8 Pan Sculpting Eyeshadow Palettes available, including different matte and metallic shades: the first palette is composed of seductive pink tones, rich burgundy hues and bright metallic finishes, while the second one rocks intense and vibrant blue shades, along with gold and copper nuances. The eye look is completed by the Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil, available in an intense black Onyx or with a colored kick in Burgundy Suede. For the lips, instead, Estée Lauder offers two shades of the Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick: a deep bold red called Carnal or the iconic delicate rose of Rebellious Rose, re-proposed for the occasion in a cheerful but modern packaging inspired by the designer’s patterns.

Urban Decay – Naked Honey
The new Urban Decay Naked Honey Collection is composed by different products, including the lush plumping lip glosses in three shades and the three full-body powders ( available in three glittery nuances of bronze, gold, and berry), but the core and biggest novelty presented is undoubtedly the new Naked Honey, the eye palette that takes after the shades of honey and gold. The final result is a shiny touch that gives our eyes a glowing effect with a vintage addiction, reminding slightly of the retrò allure of the Roaring 20s. The latest addition to the ever-so-famous Urban Decay palette line consists of 12 eyeshadows ranging in the shades of gold, cream, amber and bronze, with both matte and shimmer finishes (you can immediately spot Honey, a bright shimmery yellow that perfectly matches the palette’s style and theme). As usual, the packaging of the new palette is characterized by a metal case that enhances the spirit of the collection and is inspired by the eyeshadow nuances: in this case, it looks like a real sparkling gold. The twelve shades are accompanied by the usual maxi mirror and a double blending brush.
The face designed to star in the campaign for the line is Lizzo, the singer from Detroit who recently achieved success and recognition thanks to the hit album “Cuz I Love You.”

Diptyque and the New Perfumed Accessories
For a sophisticated and fragrant (quite literally) look, Diptyque offers three brand new accessories that will revolutionize the way you see perfume.
The novelties begin with a Perfumed Patch, available in the fragrances Eau Rose, Do Son and Ombre Dans l’Eau: a graphic and baroque ornament made of black matte satin that is, at the same time, a fashion must-try and a beauty accessory. When placed inside the wrist, on the shoulder or on the collarbone, this patch slowly and gradually releases the delicate notes of the chosen fragrance. It can be applied, removed and re-applied as we please and the concentrated fragrance in which the fabric is soaked spreads throughout the day. Then we have the new perfumed bracelets, in fragrance variations of Do Son, Eau Rose and Tam Dao: a luxurious accessory that is possible to wrap and unwrap around the wrist, embellished with precious details and a core that flawlessly release a sensual perfume.
Like the patches, the bracelet is also drenched with a rare fragrance that spreads deliciously all day long; the delicate friction of the thread against the skin triggers the magic of an intense olfactory experience.
The third product is a romantic brooch in gilded metal with a double core: besides being an elegant bird-shaped accessory, it is also a powerful fragrance diffuser. The design is a reminder of the wooden birds that once populated the historic boutique of the Diptyque Maison, while the actual perfume-holder jewel is inspired by the pomanders popular during the Renaissance, now re-launched in this modern reinterpretation.
Discreetly, the heart of the brooch encloses a pre-perfumed ceramic that releases the perfume, once again available in the signature fragrances Do Son, Eau Rose and Fleur de Peau.

Nuxe, the new Crème Fraîche de Beauté Line
Back from the summer holidays, we are left to readjust to city life, so the skin can feel stressed and in need of some extra cuddles: in this case, Nuxe offers the Crème Fraîche de Beauté treatments, which moisturize the skin with natural efficacy. It also offers a continuous 48-hour action and an anti-pollution shield, combining the delicacy of vegetal milk to a high tech seaweed extract. To achieve the best result possible, Nuxe turned to an independent analysis laboratory and conducted an unprecedented anti-pollution test in the heart of Paris when pollution records were at their peak (which happens to be the entire month of July). This study made it possible to create a shield effect against pollution multiplied 4 times which was subsequently applied to the products, granting our skin the best protection possible.
The collection opens with the thorough hydration of the 48H Moisture Skin-Quenching Serum, a powerful ultra-fresh serum that moisturizes thanks to the combination of vegetable milks and hyaluronic acid, leaving the skin soft and pampered. Following suit, we find the 48H Mattifying Fluid, for a moisturizing but not greasy effect, enriched with rice powder. This product leaves the skin fresh and matte throughout the day.
Then, we find the 48H Moisturising Cream, available in two variations: the richest kind of formula is suitable for the needs of dry to arid skin, thanks to the cocoon texture enriched with shea butter, while the version for normal skin grants a fresh and velvety effect. The collection ends with the 48H Moisture SOS Rescue Mask, which injects freshness and nourishment directly and powerfully into the skin thanks to the concentrated hyaluronic acid formula.
