City Geisha

Like the kinky pair of handcuffs? =) Thought it might catch your eye…nothing do with with sex though, I’m afraid, this post is about getting your hands on the most wanted items of the season!

If you haven’t dashed off to your nearest department store yet to fetch  your latest Winter 2009-10 collection, now is the time as the shelves are packed full of the latest additions full of eye-catching nuances, enabling you to create the latest seasonal looks. Here are a couple of City Geisha’s favourites, no doubt to be yours too:

Bobbi Brown’s Chrome Palette (limited edition)

Bobbi’s cool, contemporary take on Christmas beauty. Icy, shimmering accents on eyes and lips cast an iridescent glow on the face. Inside this chrome-accented, fold-out palette you’ll find everything you need to deck yourself out for the season: 10 eye shadow shades, 4 lip shades, a Mini Eye Shadow Brush, and Mini Lip Brush. Packaged in a gift-ready chrome carton.

Style Black by Mac

Taking inspiration from the Grunge Glam trend that was so hot on this season’s catwalks, MAC’s winter collection is pure rock ‘n’ roll! Think black smudgy eyes, baby Goth girl nails and stained lips. It’s dripping in drama - so wear with bags of attitude.

Fashion Paradise by Bourjois

One of City Geisha’s cult favourites, this season’s collection from Bourjois includes an exquisite palette of shades, including peacock green and dreamy violet, making it ‘as captivating and as colourful as a bird of paradise’ - mmm.

Les Poetiques by Givenchy

For those more into the neutral, romantic look for the winter season, this
undeniably romantic palette of soft hues in tender pink, dreamy blues, corals and nudes is exactly what you need; the new Givenchy collection is influenced by the ‘Romantiques’ (a poetry movement of the 19th century) and is perfect for creating an on-trend, feminine and naturally pretty look.

Declaring Indigo by Lancôme

Inspired by the heroines of the French Avant-garde spirit, Simone de Beauvoir and Brigitte Bardot, Lancome’s latest collection is a daring colour statement of indigo punctuated with gold and red, to represent the Parisian free spirit and feminine, chic style. C’est magique!

Black Tie Violets by Clinique

Another City Geisha’s cult favourite brand, Clinique’s new season collection features a decadent palette from violet berries to rich plums. What’s more, all products come packaged in luxurious and oh-so covetable silver.
