Declaring Indigo

Lancôme's new fall collection, Declaring Indigo, was created by their artistic director for makeup Aaron De Mey and is meant to celebrate the vibrancy of Paris.  Aaron chose shades of indigo blue, bright red and luxurious gold that are meant to represent the energy and passion of Paris.  (As a side note, the first time I went to Paris I was in college and had the flu and we stayed in a gross hostel and it was raining and it all kind of sucked.  I was like, "THIS is the city everyone raves about?  I do not like it."  And then I went back a few years later when I wasn't sick and we stayed in a gorgeous hotel right across from the Opera House and I fell completely in love with the city.  Now I can't get enough of Paris.  If I lived in London [like I do in my fantasies] I would totally take the Chunnel to Paris every weekend and eat their ridiculous pastries and write in my journal along the Seine before I met my cute French boyfriend for dinner.  That sounds much better than most of my weekends in Los Angeles).  Anyway... Declaring Indigo has some fantastic products in it, including the Indigo Paris polish above, which I must get my hands on ASAP. 

The only product that I've tried so far is the Ink Artliner in Indigo Charm and it's a winner.  It's the most gorgeous deep blue shade and the gel formula has a creamy texture that makes it easy to apply.  And once it's on, it goes nowhere.  It really stayed put for me all day without getting all over my eye area, which is key for me with such a bold color.  I'll definitely be wearing it out at night with a nude lip and tons of mascara.  Love!
