It’s all things cute and quirky this week with a trip or two down memory lane… Find out what’s top of the list in my beauty books this week featuring OPI, POND’s and Lancôme.

Lancôme x Alber Elbaz
To celebrate the imminent launch of the Alber Elbaz x Lancôme limited-edition collection , the master of offbeat luxury and sophisticated quirk, Alber Elbaz has created a short ‘n’ sweet animated film to accompany the collection.
“Our job is to tell stories. It all starts there,” explains Alber Elbaz. “It all stems from the incredibly rounded and curvaceous mascara bottles. The moment I saw them I thought of women’s bodies. So I came to this idea of a fashion show where all you see are eyes in the front row, and the women gradually transform into bottles.”
See the first teaser below and watch this space for the full film and more info about the collection!
OPI Bond Girl Liquid Sand Collection
One of the most highly lauded female roles in cinema belongs to the effervescent Bond Girl of the James Bond franchise. Sexy, sizzling and salacious are just a few of the words that come to mind and now you can get your own little piece of the Bond Girl action with exclusive range of Bond Girl Liquid Sand lacquers by OPI. I’ve long been a fan of the unique and varied themes brought to us by the nail colour queens and this latest collection doesn’t disappoint with its retro-modern edge – quintessential Bond.
The range encapsulates in vibrant, unique colour everything it is to be a Bond Girl; emerging from the beach a la Halle Berry’s Jinx, Eva Green’s smoldering Vesper expressions and the shimmering glamour of Ursula Andress’ Honey Ryder. With the alluring Liquid Sand texture, reflective sparkles with a matte finish, there’s a colour for every Bond Girl within and to brighten up those cold, frosty days.
RRP: $19.95 Bond Girl lacquers will be available from mid May 2013 at selected salons, David Jones and Myer
POND’S Skincare Comeback
From all the 80s and 90s icons making comebacks, I can’t hide my nostalgia and love for POND’s skincare making a highly anticipated return to our shores! Effective, affordable, targeted; you name it, POND’s does simple skin care to a tee, a winning formula scoring legions of fans around the world- and now it’s arrived back to Australia after almost a decade of absence. I’m looking forward to the POND’S Age Miracle range addressing all signs of anti-ageing in a seven day turn around, the Gold Radiance premium collection to recapture the lost radiance of youth and Flawless White for no frills lightening and brightening.
The POND’s ranges are available exclusively from Priceline from 20th June 2013
