Last spring, I complained that Lancome had gone way too young with their offerings so I’m so happy that this coming spring it’s all about sheer elegance – at any age. Based around ballet (new face, Lily Collins has a grandmother, Jen Hale, who was a famous ballerina in the 1940’s) with a new, urban twist, the key symbol is a bow (and Lancome isn’t the only brand that’s gone all ribbons and bows for spring).
French Ballerine is a very fresh collection with a splash of near-neon with nails in pink and white.
The white shade is a ‘colour optimizer’ meaning that it boosts the top colour from below.

Two new shades of Hypnose Ultra Dazzling colours in a moussy texture are whisper-light and ultra-pretty.
The Spring Blush Highlighter with a beautiful rose also has the bow detail on the palette lid. The collection launches on 2nd January 2014. Everything about this collection is completely wearable – there’s nothing I wouldn’t absolutely relish wearing and it feels like a very thoughtful collection.

I really want that blush now, but could you imagine even swatching that beauty?? I think my heart would break.

These are gorgeous – so classic! I have a friend obsessed with French style, who would absolutely adore the eye pallette. I love the idea of the colour optimizer also.

A winner all round, beautiful colours and packaging. I don’t think there is anything there I don’t want.
It’s been years since I wanted a pallet from Lancome but that’s just gorgeous. Such lovely colors, I want them on my eyes now! So perfect for spring time too.
Like Bella, it’s been a long time since a pallette from Lancome made me drool. But this one is so very pretty! Very understated elegance. I can’t wait to see swatches! I’m intrigued to see the polish optimizer in action. As far as I am aware this is the only product like this. And the blush/highlighter – there just aren’t words to describe it!
The blush highlighter is the only item that really attract me in this collection..it seem really unique..
