A Rather Youthful Deconstructed Lip…

A Makeup Maven-In-The-Making? A poster child for “The Bring Back The Manically Overdrawn Lip” brigade? An avant-garde makeup muse? Who knows? But what I do know is that this little Beauty Marked! jongleur most certainly has a penchant for the pricier, more pigmented lip, that’s for sure. Yep, that’s exactly what a high-end fuchsia lip looks like on a Cheeky Caramel Cutie…just in case you were wondering.

Innately Chic.

chloe.jpg

Chloé’s newly unveiled signature scent undoubtably captures the innately chic, confident, and free spirited sensibility of the entrancingly feminine. While continuing to allure, Robertet perfumers, Michel Almairac and Almandine Marie, infused this luxurious scent with iconic Chloé notes of rose petals, enhanced by lychee, freesia, pink peony, sensuous magnolia and lily of the valley. Chloé fuses classic elements with fresh ideas and an airy sweetness accented with the most perfect woody strength. The honey notes in this gorgeously reinvented yet warmly reminiscent fragrance bring smoothness and comfort, while cedarwood and amber inspire a seductive and ever so cogent spiritedness.

The beautiful Chloé flacon is the creation of Patrick Veillet, who drew on the intricate detail of the sleeve of a Chloé blouse as the inspiration for the delicately pleated glass walls of the square flacon. The oval cap plays off the strong lines while the silver collar adds a nostalgic feel. Even the finishing touch of a loosely knotted petal-coloured ribbon speaks to the definitive elegance and élan of The House of Chloé.

Just divine!
