There is a tendency to believe that exclusive pieces are going to come with over-the-top price tags. We are here to prove to you that this is not always the case. When it comes to limited edition you can choose to splurge or save. We’ve hand picked four exclusive releases for your lust list.
The worthwhile splurge
Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania Mediterranean Palette Wet
Inspired by the warm, shimmering summers of the Italian Mediterranean, this limited edition palette features four sultry colours; Absinthe green, Shimmering sand, Emerald green and Copper gold. Sealed in a black lacquered compact, this is one palette you will want to store on your dresser for all to see. The unique wet powder processing gives the eye-shadows incredible vibrancy and is a dream to apply. This is one luxe limited item worth the splurge.
Available from August 8 2010. For stockist information call 02 9931 8888 ($135.00)
The timeless piece
Lancome 75th anniversary L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick
Lancome are celebrating their 75th birthday in style with this lust-worthy Limited Edition lipstick. A classic black lacquer case adorned with gold and Swarovski crystals holds the intensely silky red ‘Caprice’ (132) lip colour. This voluptuous shade perfectly reflects the femininity, luxury and glamour of the Lancome brand.
Available at leading department stores and selected pharmacies ($75.00)
The fun and flirty accessory
Couture Couture Solid Perfume Bracelet
We love this super cute offering from Juicy Couture. The golden metal bracelet interlaced with pink ribbon doubles as a solid perfume. The Juicy crown and logo script slides to reveal the latest decadent fragrance ‘Couture Couture’, allowing you to re-apply your perfume at whim. We think this would make a great gift for your best friend, or to treat yourself.
Available from August 8 2010 at David Jones ($85.00)
The beauty bargain
Stila Travel Girl Palettes
Rescu. loves hearing the stories and inspirations behind beauty lines and this is one of the sweetest ideas we’ve seen in a while. Stila will see one Girl Travel Palettes released each month from July until November with each being inspired by the Stila girls’ travels around the world. The July release (picture) is called ‘Road to Radiance’ and was inspired road trips across the USA while August sees Stila headed to Paris. Containing four eye shadows and one convertible lips/cheeks colour in a beautiful mini compact case this is the perfect limited edition piece for girls on the go.
Available at selected Myer stores nationally ($25.00)
