Givenchy Summer Makeup Collection Makes Monsoon Magic

When you need a little pick me up, there's nothing better than a new, luxe makeup item. Some of the most glamorous are from Givenchy's Summer 2009 Le Makeup Collection, inspired by the sensual experience of post-monsoon in paradise, where amber light shimmers in earthy tones, to make your skin look amazing and shades of copper and bronze in metallic and pearly formulas add beauty accents for a glamorous, glorious Summer look.

The cases features the iconic, square, Givenchy compacts but this time, there's a glamorous layer of holographic gold beneath the black design. Really eye-catching! I didn't get the try the entire collection, but I did sample it. The Givenchy Le Makeup Collection includes:

Prisme Again! Eyeshadow Quartet in Summer Reflection (limited edition) $50.00

Prismissime Mat & Glow Sun Face Powder in Sun Caramel (limited edition) $53. Top Pick: *this limited edition (only at Sephora) features nine small squares of shimmer and matte bronzer in soft shades of brownm beige and gold, to give your skin a hint of tint in either pearle or matte. You can pick and choose the colors you want to use to blend, shade, sculpt or illuminate, or even use it an an eye shadow.
