Somewhere in the middle of the year (2013, if you’re a visitor from the future – hey, it happens!) Lancome did a collaboration with Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz where selected mascaras and eyeshadow palettes were given the Alber Elbaz makeover with cartoon drawings and lots of hearts. There was also a cute cartoon runway show video. Missed it? Refresh your memory here.
Here then is one of the palettes from that collection, the Lancome Doll Eyes Eyeshadow Palette in D05 Gris Fume. Yes, I realise I may be late and that this limited edition packaging may be sold out by now but take heart, the palette itself is permanent!
But since we’re at it, here’s the limited edition packaging for the Lancome x Alber Elbaz collection. Wanna know a secret? I don’t like it. Sorry. I much prefer the plain black compact used in Lancome’s regular line. Sacrilege yes? Everyone loved it. Ahem. Well except me, lah 😛
Oh but there’s something I do like about this palette, and that is that the base is magnetized. So, the cover closes with a magnet, and best of all, the applicators don’t fall out, because they are held on by magnets. Now, when will other brands cotton on that this is a GREAT IDEA? 😛
