Craft Paper Couture – an inspired idea cut like a pattern and whipped up into a frisky little “funny face” frock. Then, strip it back to its essence for Summer 2010 for a Pret-a-Papier colour collection. It was a Project Runway challenge of sorts, with paper as the source, the instigator of ideas, the beginning of something simply, basically beautiful. Lipstick, LipGlass, Eye Shadow, Paint Pot, Chromografic Pencil, Studio Fix Lash, Impeccable Brow Pencil, Sheertone and Mineralize Blushes, and Nail Lacquer in a seamless spectrum of parchment-to-vellum beiges, with an occasional, clever colour spill, coral among the most au courant.”

This collection will be launched in North America on April 22 and internationally in May 2010.

HI GUYS! I love corals. Oh, goodness, do I ever. So, I'm kind of psyched for the spring Bobbi Brown collection. I have pictures, but I'm at work so I can't add them for you til tonight. Also, my camera battery died on me this morning as I was trying to upload stuffs. So... text. Uncool, I know, but I didn't want you to think I don't <3 you!

Cautious about corals? Give us 5 minutes. We'll make them cool.

In The Studio
North America - 12/26/09, Int'l - 1/10

Dramatic, daring Lashes have been a chic and urbane part of the modern Artist's persona since Edie and friends made it all happen Downtown, on block-print canvas or grainy 16-millimetre film. Multi-media, counter-culture, the ultimate cool. In The Studio is the epitome of the look updated, featuring new Studio Fix Lash in Black Fix or Studio Brown, with the latest thermoplastic synth-rubber moulded brush, designed to kill clump as it seperates lashes. The perfect complement? Studio Fix Powder, a powder and foundation-in-one, combining complete coverage with ease of application, goes on dry with a matte, velvety texture. Silica keeps the matte flat and absorbs oil, and talc smoothes it out. Go for the bold stroke, as they do In The Studio.

Studio Fix Lash - $13.00USD/$15.50CAD
Black Fix - Black
Studio Brown - Brown

Studio Fix Powder - $26.00USD/$31.00CAD
