Check out Versace’s latest fragrance, Yellow Diamond! The fresh, floral Yellow Diamond is in an adorned demstone style bottle top and is the latest crystal themed fragrance in the fashion house.
Inspired by her own yellow diamond ring (of course), Donatella Versace told WWD about the concept. “The jewel has always stimulated a feeling of brightness, sensuality and energy, and this is what I set out to capture in this new glamorous, charming and feminine floral fragrance.”
Australian model Abbey Lee Kershaw will star in the ad campaign, shot by Mario Testino in Paris. You won’t be able to miss it when it hits the beauty counters this autumn. Take a look below to see more of our favourite stand-out perfume bottles.
I love the look of liquid eyeliners but try as I might I an never get the line right and get frustrated and go back to my pencil. Borghese was kind enough to let me try their Linea Precisa Liquid Eyeliner and I am thrilled that even I can use it like a pro!
For the first time I was able to draw two perfect lines! The felt tip applicator is stiffer than most pens I have tried and was the trick in drawing a straight line. I found the pen very easy to work with and I could manipulate it to make a thin or thicker line. If you have had trouble mastering liquid eyeliner you owe it to yourself to give Borghese Linea Precisa a try.
Long-lasting and water resistant, the eyeliner goes on precisely and flawlessly thanks to its easy-glide felt tip applicator. Eyeliner will not smudge or run, and adds shape and definition to any eye. The result: an elegant and polished finish.
What it does
Easy-glide felt tip applicator
Longwearing, water resistant
How to Use
