Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill High Voltage 24-Hour Eyeshadows

Release date: Currently available
Price: $32.00 each
Availability: Nordstrom stores, nordstrom.com, giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com

Company’s Description

This innovative hybrid texture, which is not a powder, nor a cream, acts like a smooth, lasting color film. Each shade is intensified with a second pigment for a multidimensional effect. In just one swoop, create a wet, shimmering smoky eye. Base color covers eyelid, and second pigment adds drama to the contour.

The technology: Color-Fi, for the first time in an eyeshadow. A new high-resistance bi-polymer enables the formula to perfectly fit the color to the eyelid with cushiony suppleness, for a never-seen comfortable long wear.

24-hour color wear, crease-proof, flake-proof, waterproof and sweat-proof, Eyes To Kill Intense Eyeshadows slide on, stay on, but wipe off in an instant. Apply wet or dry with fingers or the Armani large eye contour brush.

Giorgio Armani has created 13 new long-wearing eye shadows. Check out the shades, below!

Dior “Rock Your Nails” Collection

Limited-Edition
Release date: Currently available
Price: $21.00 each
Size: 0.33 oz
Availability: Nordstrom exclusive

Company’s Description

Rich, high-gloss, long-wearing nail color in shades from subtle to sensational.

Rock Coat, the ultimate smoky topcoat. As a topcoat, its semi-transparent black formula coats varnish with a veil of smoky lacquer, extending wear and increasing shine. Your nail varnish takes on an enigmatic ‘rock’ look.

How to use: Apply one coat over dry nail varnish. For best results, use Rock Coat with darker shades.

Going against the bright, pastel trend that most makeup brands follow, Dior has released a 6-polish collection consisting of darker, rocker-chic colors. The “Rock Coat” topcoat is a semi-sheer black topcoat that turns the underlying color into a smoky finish.
