Lancome Show by Alber Elbaz Collection

   Happy weekend everyone.  Please enjoy the following press release from Lancome:

“Beauty isn’t a question of being the right age or having the right look, it all comes down to attitude, individuality and character…” – Alber Elbaz

Legendary designer Alber Elbaz brings his iconic aesthetic to a limited-edition eye collection exclusively for Lancôme. The Lancôme Show by Alber Elbaz collection infuses wit into Lancôme’s glamorous eye essentials. In keeping with his appreciation of female beauty, Elbaz has re-styled Lancôme’s four bestselling mascaras and the brand’s Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette with collectable couture outfits. Elbaz added the ultimate accessory—a line of false lashes in delightfully illustrated cases—to complete his first-ever makeup collection.
