The Marie Antoinette look is in
November 1, 2006 | 12:00am
I cant wait to watch Sofia Coppolas new flick, Marie Antoinette, which opens on Friday. Like an old-world Paris Hilton of the 18th century, Kirsten Dunst plays the iconic but ill-fated queen of France.
The pompadour-pretty face is definitely in think rosy cheeks that give a radiant flush and luscious red lips that shimmer like rubies. And oh, dont forget the milky-white, porcelain complexion that glows.
So, here are some products that will make you look like a mythical goddess oozing with youthful sex appeal enough to make you ignite the French Revolution one more time.
Product: Sisleÿa Daily Line Reducer, P18,000
Description: A super anti-wrinkle serum that uses natural plant-derived ingredients to boost collagen production and minimize naturally-occuring skin damage. It has a "reconstructing" effect that targets wrinkles from inside. After four weeks, the appearance of all kinds of wrinkles, from dehydration lines to expression lines and crows feet are reduced. Plus, the face appears lifted, radiant and younger-looking.
Benoit Wagner, Sisley Paris area manager for South East Asia and travel retail, says, "Sisleÿa products are backed by research in phytocosmetology. We do not have a timeframe for developing products or budget constraints."
Product: Clinique Repairwear Contour Firming Formula, P3,500
Description: An addition to the Repairwear family, this hydrating gel-like treatment product tones and contours the skin. Formulated with retinol, whey protein, and vitamins C and E, it fuels the skin by maintaining natural collagen levels and enhances collagen production. Since this is a treatment product that tones and lifts the skin, you are still required to use SPF during the day and moisturizer at night.
Jamila Reyes, marketing executive for Clinique, says, "Clinique laboratories are highly confidential. For this product, cameras were allowed to enter the labs to capture the entire testing process made on women, which was very unbiased."
Product: Awake Stardom Collection, P2,450 and Awake Exbright powder, P1,950
Description: A kit that comes with a metallic red satin bag, which contains a lengthening mascara in Glossy Black, limited-edition eye shadow set in Bright Spark (pink, gold, brown, and red shades), Gold Lustre lip gloss, Sparkler Pink nail polish, and face glitter in Pastel Peach. Finish off with Exbright CA Powder White UV that goes beyond brightening. It is a spot-care, acne-care, sebum-care, and sun-care powder in one.
Claudine Santos, Awake brand manager, says, "Awakes Stardom collection is a complete glamour kit that embraces you with a glittering veil while the Exbright CA powder has a lot of benefits in one."
Product: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick and Lip kit, P3,350
Description: This limited-edition two-tiered kit makes it definitely easy for a woman to add a dash of festive color like the dazzle of diamonds and the richness of rubies. It contains exclusive lip shades like Cream lip gloss, Cashmere lip gloss, Sandwash Peach lip color, and Malted lip color. Plus, a Bronze Shimmer brick for quick touch-ups.
Sandra Lacson, marketing executive for Bobbi Brown, says, "Our limited-edition Holiday collection was designed by Bobbi with all women in mind. It offers everything from sleek palettes to professional brushes and luxe accessories."
Product: Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited lipstick, P1,350
Description: An über-colorful collection of "hybrid-pigment" lipsticks in 48 shades that flatter whatever complexion. Made with Shu Ueumuras hydrating agent and ceramides, this creamy lipstick provides eight hours of moisture and luminous shine. Dig shade 170, the perfect red lipstick for lucious lips.
Tina Tinio, business unit manager for Shu Uemura, says, "Rouge Unlimited breaks all boundaries in color creation. You can mix and match your lipsticks and artist colors to create an unlimited variety of colors."
Product: Lancôme Hypnôse, 30ml P3,295, 50ml P4,195 and 75ml P5,095
Description: An oriental sparkling fragrance iced with passion fruit. Top notes include Tahitian flower that is sweetened with a bunch of solar flowers for the heart note. The base note evokes mystery like vetiver and vanilla. Ultra-sensual, indeed.
Zerline Chan, Lancôme group product manager, says, "Hypnôse is a light fragrance for the Asian market. The bottle has an extraordinary twist shape. It is fresh, easy-to-wear, elegant, and sensual."
