A First Look at Alber Elbaz’s Complete Lancôme Collection

Lancôme made the announcement back in January that it was collaborating on a makeup collection with beloved Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz. Now, that collab is finally poised to launch.

We got an up close and personal peek at the collection earlier this week and it is tres adorable, exceptionally whimsical, and pure Alber. There’s no doubt that the limited edition line, which hits stores and online in mid-June, will be a sell-out.

Click through to see the full collection.

Fashionista's Guide To

Finding the Perfect Mascara

Most women probably agree that a good mascara is absolutely essential to any beauty routine. Or at least that’s what makeup companies think, if the sheer and utterly confusing amount of mascaras on the market is any indication. There are volumizing, thickening and lengthening formulas; bristle, plastic, curved, and straight wands; ones that declump, ones that purportedly help your lashes grow longer–there’s even mascaras that vibrate. But with so many options on the table, how does one even begin to choose the right mascara for herself?

We decided to ask some experts to help us demystify mascara. They helped us decode everything from brush shape to how to apply it. What follows is a review of the 15 latest and greatest mascaras on the market. Read on:

Fashion News Roundup: Emma Watson Has a New Lancôme Ad, Karlie Kloss Runs Around NYC for Free People, and Kim Jong-un Gets a C+ in Fashion

Here’s Emma Watson’s Actual Lancôme Ad: The pretty concept drawings leaked last week, but here’s a look at the finished product, featuring E. Wats looking ever-so seductive. Lancôme’s new makeup lines of lipsticks and nail polishes will hit stores in February. {WWD}

Dakota Fanning Covers Elle UK: Not to be outshone by her fashionable younger sister, whose upcoming Teen Vogue cover hits shelves soon, here’s Dakota’s very own February cover for Elle UK. Though you have to admit, it is a little funny that the word “ELLE” is emblazoned across poor (and pore-less) Dakota’s porcelain forehead in giganto font. Just a little. {Design Scene}

WWD Gives Kim Jong-un a Fashion C+: To be honest, I think they went a little easy on North Korea’s new leader. Though the constructive criticism (“a slightly tapered [pant] leg would help elongate his silhouette”) is a nice, helpful touch. {WWD}

Hermes Better Watch Its Back: LVMH has upped their stake–again–in the company and now holds 22.3 percent of their shares (up from 21.4 percent) and has 16 percent of the firm’s voting rights. {WWD, subscription required}

Emma Watson’s Lancôme Makeup Ad Leaked: They’re only concept drawings for the campaign for Lancôme’s upcoming line Rouge in Love, to be released in February, and starring Watson, but man, aren’t they pretty? {Racked}

30 Never Looked So Good: Forbes lists the year’s standout names in Art & Design for their 30 under 30 series. Joseph Altuzarra, Chris Benz, Pamela Love, Alexander Wang and the Olsens are among those that made the cut. Get ready to start feeling very unaccomplished. {Forbes}

Bebe Says ‘I Do’: The mega retailer has ditched one reality TV star (Kim Kardahian) for another (Project Runway contestant Rami Kashou) in an attempt to revamp their brand into something a little more sophisticated. Rami will be designing the brand’s all-growed-up line of bridal wear, which she describes as “feminine, elegant, timeless and romantic.” {The Cut}
