Ballerina culture is in the air this spring, and that’s why we love Lancome’s Spring collection. Think pretty pinks that are totally wearable and that’s what you’re going to see at the Lancome counter this spring.
Lily Collins, whose grandmother was a ballerina, is the face of the campaign and wears all the colours of the collection so easily.
Her Audrey Hepburn like styling makes the entire look modern and aspirational.
The highlight of the collection is the Rose Ballerine Blush Highlighter ($52) that’s a light pink with a sheer gold shimmer. Because this is so shimmery, I think that it’s better used as a highlighter on top of existing blush rather than on its own. It is not very pigmented (see, more like a highlighter) and so if you do choose to wear this as a blush, you’ll need to layer.
This blush is also probably best suited for very light and light skin tones, but it works as a highlighter on almost everyone.
Pick it up at Lancome counters now.
This was sold out at my local counter and a few that I checked in Toronto but I managed to snag one online at thebay.com before they sold out there as well. I just received it yesterday and it is gorgeous! The rose is just beautiful and the bow on the packaging is fun and cute. More importantly, the finish of the actual product is incredible–so finely milled with no visible shimmer but instead a sheen that lights up the face. The quality of this product is superior to that of the blushes in Lancome’s permanent collection and the size is a generous 8g. I wish they had produced more of these as I would have picked up a second, possibly a third.
