The star of YSL‘s Summer 2013 Baby Doll Collection is the house’s new mascara, applied in the ad campaign by Cara Delevingne. The gorgeous collection will also feature new shades of eyeliner and a limited edition glossy stain for lips and matching nail polish.
The new MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS BABY DOLL provides volume and clean definition in one. The brush surrounds each lash with a breakthrough clump-free formula that is also protecting lashes from free radicals.
The micro-faceted brush is easy to use: lashes are multiplied, precisely defined and magnified. On one side, thick and spaced bristles coat the lashes and create volume. On the other side, fine and close bristles reach every lash, including the smallest lashes at the corner of the eye for a full fringe effect.
Available in 4 different colours.

Ever since its 2012 launch, Lancôme‘s Rouge In Love lipstick has become the cult must-have of every beauty addict. This season, the collection is enriched with a brand new generation of gloss, so-called GLOSS IN LOVE.
Available in 12 In Love shades, those new lip glosses are infused with intense pigments and light-trapping mother of pearl for dazzling lips. The must-have accessory for every woman on-the-go comes moisturizes lips for 6 hours.
From the softest of shades to pure pop tones, Gloss In Love is created in a palette of vibrant pinks, oranges and fuchsias to play with to your heart’s content! Not forgetting my favourite shade Just Strass, an ultra-iridescent flashy white to layer on or to use as an undercoat to transform any shade of lipstick or gloss… with its subtle scent of mouth-watering vanilla, lifted by a fresh fruit cocktail, it is spring 2013’s absolute must-have!
In stores in Switzerland Mid May 2013. CHF 40.00 each.
The ROUGE IN LOVE palette is enriched with 9 new colours, from radiantly pure reds to vibrant oranges and pinks… CHF 43.00 each
4 new shades of VERNIS IN LOVE nail polishes will complement the look. CHF 25.00 each
Discover it this summer; you’ll be hooked all year round.

“And then I want everything to be included, such as brooms, dust brushes and suchlike, because one day, when everything is being done by electricity, these will be the most remarkable thing of all.” – From Wilhelmina von Hallwyl‘s annual notes, 1844-1930
Entering the Hallwyl Palace in Stockholm is like stepping a hundred years back in time. Everyday household objects, as well as collections of art, jewelry and fashion, have been left untouched so as to bear witness to a past age. I had the honour to get a private tour of this Swedish national museum which is in a historical building just around the corner of the Nobis hotel. The Hallwyl collection encompasses some 50,000 objects and I absolutely loved the extraordinary jewelry pieces as well as the beautiful presentation of the clothing of that time, such as an embroidered dress by Paul Poiret.
As I have been dreaming of opening a fashion museum one day myself, I was impressed to hear that Wilhelmina von Hallwyl had started to catalogue everything in the palace during her lifetime with the purpose of creating something of enduring historical interest.
A must-see when you are in Stockholm!
