I’m obsessed already by Givenchy Extravaganza for Fall 2014 – it’s so beautifully put together, from the leather embossed palette above through to super-shimmering, gold-shot nails.
The centrepiece of Givenchy Extravaganza is the Palette Extravaganza above for eyes and lips. There’s plenty of shimmer and a flattering pink lip and it’s versatile – all of those eye shades work well alone or in any combination – just in case you need to justify the £45 price tag!
It’s the Blush Memoire De Forme that’s stolen my heart though.

It’s a larger than life pop of colour – you need the tiniest amount for a dot of freshness on the cheeks. In a jelly like texture, it’s 70% water so feels incredibly light on the skin and is buildable so perfect for literally any tone. The shade is Rose Extraordinaire and it will cost £26. Givenchy describe it as a ‘strong-minded pink’. I agree!
The Glittering Nail Lacquer & Top Coat in Parure Scintillante is a whack of glitter – buildable (and probably like every other glitter, hell to remove) but totally on point for autumn/winter when the light has gone and we need every single inch of sparkle we can get our hands on!
It will cost £15.50, and there’s also a more solid gold shade.
As far as lips go, it’s acid pink and vampy burgundy, but when I do swatches, I’ll include those. Givenchy Extravaganza for Fall 2014 launches in September.

Intrigued by the blush Jane – how does it compare to the Josie Maran “jelly-ish” blush/stain? I bought a couple of shades of that based on your review and have to say I’m soo happy with them 🙂
Oh, incidently I bought the Josie Maran blushes from Sephora on the flat rate over-£75 shipping charge which is actually 10 dollars not pounds as I originally thought…so £6 delivery charge all the way from the US. Plus I placed my order Friday afternoon and it arrived Wednesday morning – some UK to UK orders take longer than that! Just a shame they don’t ship perfumes and nail polishes – the Sephora X nail polishes get a lot of love on the blogosphere…
Hi Jo.. I think they’re creamier in consistency than Josie Maran… it’s a bit more dense in colour where as JM is literally a wash, Givenchy has a little more substance.
That packaging looks lovely! I really like the look of the palette.
