Preview: Catrice - Alluring Reds LE:)

Burgundy,  merlot,  cinnabar,  crimson or ruby. The colour red has many facets and can lean towards yellow or blue, which means that it  can be warm or cool. Red is a particularly eye-catching  colour and stands out as a warning signal. At the same time, the complementary colour cyan is known to express a sense of  life, passion and powerful emotions. The special significance of red as a rare colorant also creates a link to beauty and attractiveness, making this shade extremely popular with designers. Take a quick glance  at the Autumn/Winter collections  and  you cannot help but see red. Not in disbelief but because red is omnipresent.  Flared  or figure-hugging dresses and skirts as well as accessories, lips and  nails  –  the  colour  red  is  the  common  thread.  With  the  Limited Edition “Alluring  Reds”  by CATRICE, we are presenting a comprehensive range of unique red shades for the lips and nails in November 2015.  Four perfectly aligned products offer professional care and colour. The Lip Colour & Care Balsam provides the ideal basis while the  Liquid Lipsticks or  Matt Lip Colours bring intensive  red tones  to  the  lips  and  the Nail Glazes  offer  the  matching polishes  for  the  nails. Simply Red – by CATRICE.

Preview: Catrice - Rock-o-co LE

Time travel. Pioneering, but not futuristic. This season, the designers are looking back on the 18th century as a source of inspiration to develop new versions of fashion. An extremely detailed couture full of Rococo references such as precious brocade, playful frills and flounces, elegant satin ribbons and opulent bows. Implemented in an ultra-feminine way, yet with an inescapable strength resulting from the heavier, defined cuts of the fabrics. The Limited Edition “Rock-o-co” by CATRICE is also inspired by influences from the era of Marie Antoinette and incorporates them in a powdery beauty collection. From the beginning of February until mid March 2015, the limited products are available in spring colours such as pastel pink, light blue, vanilla, deep pink and apricot, as well as grey-black and blue-grey for a more modern contrast. The highlight is the opulent Rococo décor, which is embossed on the soft Powder Blush as well as the pearly Trio Powder Eyeshadows. The ornament appears on all other products as a printed pattern in a perfectly aligned colour. Discover the beauty défilé – by CATRICE.

Kabuki Brush - Décadence moderne. The professional kabuki brush with thick synthetic bristles has a super-stylish pink and white colour gradient. Thanks to the high density of bristles, this brush is ideal for the application of all kinds of powders. And it’s perfect for the limited Rock-o-co Powder Blush shades in pink and fuchsia. 

Matt Nail Lacquer - Meet me at Versailles. The nail polishes display the full range of Rock-o-co colours: fresh spring shades like peach and pink, soft pastels in light yellow and sky blue as well as a modern grey. The satin, matt finish is ideal for the powdery Rococo trend. And the unusual packaging with a white ornamental print and spherical lid is a special eye-catcher. Available in C01 L’Ombre à Sanssouci, C02 Lilas Bleus, C03 Soleil à Solitude, C04 Apricoco and C05 Madame De Pinkadour.

Matt Lip Colour - Crème de la Crème. This creamy Matt Lip Colour provides intensive, long-lasting colour without drying out your lips. The results are bright and satin matt – in a choice of fresh pink or peach. The white packaging plays with matt shine effects and gives the playful Rococo print pattern a cool touch. Available in C01 Apricoco and C02 Madame De Pinkadour. 

Powder Blush - La mode Française. Intensive apple-cheeks à la Marie Antoinette are en vogue again. Set circular colour highlights directly beneath your cheekbones with the Powder Blush – available in a choice of pink or fuchsia. The light, powdery texture is especially easy to apply with the Kabuki Brush. Its premium Rococo embossment turns this powder into a limited highlight. Available in C01 Macarons pour Marie and C02 Madame De Pinkadour.

Trio Powder Eyeshadow - Louis XVI likes it! The Trio Powder Eyeshadows offer three perfectly aligned shades each for an expressive look. The light pearl-effect in pink or light blue makes your eyes shine, the light vanilla nuance serves as a highlighter and the dark grey is fabulous for shading. The high-quality embossment with a Rococo design turns the Trio Powders into true beauty gems. Available in C01 Bouquets de Fleurs and C02 Bouquet de Roses.

Liplocking Base - Long live the lipstick. This innovative, transparent base is applied before the lipstick and optimally prepares the lips before it. No leakage of color, for a practical handbag size and long lasting results that impress.

Scented Highlighting Powder -  A paleness and an even complexion belong to the current trend. The ultra-silky powder with light-reflecting pigments can be applied to both face and décolleté.

Available in C01 Ex Pistols , C02 Punk Pink,  C03 Royal Blue , C04  Emerald Queen and C02 Of Royal Blood. 

Velvet Nail Powder -  3D effects are the nail trend. First, the desired color is painted, the powder is applied to the still moist nail.  Available in C01 Of Royal Blood.

My opinion: Well... hmm, again nothing that impresses me... the  eyeshadows are not that interesting...The black liner looks promising, but it depends if it has a good applicator or brush.. we will have to wait and see about that one.. Also highlightning powder may be good, but I kinda have a lot of those lately and I don't even use those. Maybe one of the nail lacquers will work for me, maybe the red one. The blush looks interesting, but the shade won't fit me so I will definitely not buy it.. What I really want to try is the lip base, I've been looking for a good one for a time now, hope I get my hands on this one :)What about you? See anything you like?
