I’m a sucker for beautiful, reusable packaging. The Steam Cream tins just get better and better:

Porky Rabbit, this is my favourite design and is only available on the UK, Japanese and Russian, Steam Cream sites.

A limited edition Swarovksi encrusted tin, appears to be sold out on all but the Japanese Steam Cream site.

Another sweet design form tokyo.

PPQ’s Emmanuel the cat, also available in gift boxed sets of three and still available on the UK and Russian Steam Cream sites.

The looks featured in this shoot vary as much as the faces of the models. I’m drawn to the beautiful gowns and dresses. The Michael Costello gown is a stroke of genius as is the Isabel Lu pintucked dress…..the “collar” on the latter mentioned, is what really does it for me. A little creativity is always appealing.

LINK LOVE:Fashion: "Fast Forward"

 Iconic British luxury brand Liberty of London and MAC Cosmetics have teamed up to produce a limited-edition makeup line that will feature saturated hues and pretty packaging. The collection won’t hit stores for another two months, however – March 11, to be exact.  Judging from the success of the DSquared/MAC collaboration, it’s something to look forward to.

 There will be soft, luminescent highlighters in mod white compacts, plenty of creamy lipsticks and eyeshadows, and a dark green/blue pearlized nail polish, all with adorable illustrations of flowers on the packaging.

There will even be a specially-designed Liberty of London scarf that will retail at $115.

Give me Liberty or give me death!

In June, Burberry will launch a collection of 100 color products for eyes, lips, and skin with Inter Parfums SA, the holder of Burberry’s beauty license. The line will be carried in only 30 stores globally, including Nordstrom.

For almost three years now Sex and the City star Kristin Davis has been the face of the campaigns for cosmetic company Ahava. But when Kristin signed on to be a spokesperson for Oxfam International, a human rights organization, there seemed to be quite the stir. Being that Ahava’s products are produced by Dead Sea Cosmetics, which has factories based in so-called “disputed territory”, the Oxfam folks say that Kristin is taking part in a “polarizing company”. And guess what, they cut ties with the actress for being the face of Ahava!

I love Giorgio Armani Cosmetics ads, they are so simple yet beautiful. I also adore the pale skin look with a softer smokey eye, the girls look gorgeous.
