Excited about Le Metier de Beaute Autumn/Fall 2010

The Le Metier de Beaute Autumn 2010 collection is Le Cirque, based around the theme of the Parisian 19th century Le Cirque de La Belle Epoque. I always quite liked the idea of the flying trapeze as a career when I was little, but more for the sparkly outfits than the death-defying acrobatics.

Le Cirque is a collection of vivid colours in unexpected combinations. Putting together colour combinations that you don't think should work is something that Le Metier is very good at doing; quite often in the eye kaleidoscope kits there will be a colour that looks odd, but that works well with the signature couches de couleurs layering technique. The eye kaleidoscope kit for the Autumn collection (pictured) is a good example - the colours are:  Flamboyantes (shimmering stone), Spectacle (mauve‐tinted gray), Enrichissant (midnight ruby - the odd one out!) and Dynamique (a deep sapphire). I'm going to have a look at this kit in person when the collection launches (sometime in September) and I suspect this will probably be the first Autumn palette I buy.

I'm also interested in the Sheer Brilliance Lipgloss in La Belle, a deep chocolate with plum undertones, which looks a lot more cool toned than the Chocolate Creme lipgloss I didn't get on so well with.

  1. It does look really beautiful. Having seen and played with them in person now, I know exactly what you mean about the odd one out. The palette I played with in Liberty and subsequently fell in love with, is very similar to this one. I'd love to get one but having just ordered one of the Guerlain palettes, I'll struggle to justify it. Perhaps if I use the magic words, blog research, I'll find a way to get my head round it ;)

  2. I watched a video on how to use these recently and I have to say, if I tried it I'd look like I'd been hit by a bus. This looks lovely though and I think I'd use all the colours separately except the red/brown (Enrichissant?), that's just nasty!
