Lancome // French Idole AW14 Collection

Lancome is set to launch their French Idole Collection this month, the collection was inspired by rebellious but stylish Parisian women. I don't quite get that if I'm being honest as it looks to be more inspired by gemstones - the ruby shades, deep greens of malachite and emeralds and the rich purple tones of amethysts.

Regardless of its inspiration, it's fair to say this is a very pretty collection that's straight to the point and so suited to this season, the warm tones and golds are my favourite, I just wished there was more or at least another palette or two.

Hypnose Palette Intense Smokey Eyes // This is a new palette that contains the most gorgeous green and purple eyeshadows which were inspired by the deep shades of amethyst and malachite gemstones.

Vernis In Love // Three shades which are Topaze Rose, Amethyste Brune and Tourmaline Noire.

L'Absolu Rouge Lipstick // Rouge Agate Sheer is the only shade available.

Precision 24H Liner // Three available shades in 01 Black Diamond, 051 Jade and 012 Chrome.

Blush Subtil // Again one available shade which is called Figue Espiegle, what a fantastic name huh.

The collection launches sometime this month and should be available at House of Fraser's, although it's very pretty I'm not sure I'll be lining up for its release - the palette may make its way onto the wishlist but I'm really in no hurry, I just can't see these tones working on my skin but they will look incredible on others.
