Crank up the air conditioner, cool off with a chilled cocktail, and picture yourself wearing a duo from this elegant Fall/Winter Bordeaux Collection by Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus Fashion Director, for Le Métier de Beauté. For his second exclusive collection for Le Métier de Beauté, Downing took the essence of the fall runways and distilled it into a beauty collection that presents elegant, coordinated duos to transform you into a fall fox."The fall runways were filled with a polished sophistication and elegance. The message? Lady Chic," remarked Downing. "Ensemble dressing - elbow-length gloves, a sexy pump, and coordinating handbag - looks right for the fashion moment. Color is paramount! Bordeaux and deep magentas became my inspiration and palette for the matched sets I created for Le Métier de Beauté. Now, the fashion message for the season will be on everyone's lips and fingertips."
The three Bordeaux Collection sets, lipsticks and nail lacquers, will be exclusive to Neiman Marcus. They should inspire you to carry (not wear) your gloves! The gorgeous shades, from left to right in the photo above, have catchy names.
- Ken, Red My Lips (lips) and Gypsy Rose Me (nails) - subtle red with a blushing pinot undertone
- Ken's Wine on the Vine (lips) and Ken's Bodacious Bordeaux (nails) - rich, crimson cabernet
- I'm Worn This Way (lips) and Vintage Ken (nails) - Bold berry with a deep grape undertone

Ahhh, Shannon, plan your trip for fall when they arrive. :)
ReplyDeleteThank goodness in two parts:
ReplyDeletePart a) bordeaux and burgundies are sooooo not my colours so money saved!
Part b) summer is NOT over! I love the heat :-)
Thanks for the information, Charlestongirl, as usual. Ken's colours are so stunning. I love my Korals. Excellent quality lip stain, excellent quality polish. Hurrah!
LOL, Lovethescents!
ReplyDeleteOne does have to get used to the deep, wine-colored reds, but then, they are magic. I would use them as stains, the way Ivan suggests. You can too!
With our temperatures hot the last two days (98 and 95), I'm weary of the heat. Charlie loves it, though. Jungle Boy would sit on the porch all day if I let him.
So beautiful--thank you for posting this. I think I want all of the sets--I love anything red, so I'm in heaven! The fall collections seem to just get more amazing every year. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThat's the easy way! I am dying to see them. I love deep wine shades. With three so well priced, I could flip over all of them.
Hi Fab...in a word, yep!
ReplyDeleteHi Charlestongirl! Jungle Boy! Wonderful name. Does he look feral?
ReplyDeleteI would be worried the wine colour would make me look older...also thin out my lips...
I look forward to see swatches, if possible, of the lip stains. They do look beautiful :-) Thank you for the constant encouragement :-)
Jungle Boy is my nickname for Charleston (aka Charlie, rascal, devil boy, and other names that couldn't be mentioned on a polite blog). He is a purebred Bengal and isn't that far, generation-wise, from his wild Asian leopard cat roots.
ReplyDeleteI can wear sheer wines. I'll bet you can too. We'll see when the colors arrive. :)
