A beauty splurge for New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve is one night where venturing into over-the-top territory is perfectly acceptable, dare we say encouraged. Beyond the dress, the shoes, the jewellery (oh, god and the hair, the manicure, and new stockings, we need to make a list, we’re not ready), we’re also adding to our want list Guerlain’s limited edition La Nuit en Rose makeup kit ($230, guerlain.com).
Designed by creative director Olivier Échaudemaison to celebrate his ten-year anniversary with the French luxury cosmetic company, it contains a lipstick pan of bright fuchsia, a more subtle shade of pink for cheeks and a round brush all adorned in black pearls and crystals and housed in a simple pewter-hued pouchette. Only 410 sets are available worldwide, with 16 in Canadian boutiques--at Guerlain in Montreal and Toronto, and Holt Renfrew in Calgary--so you know you won’t see anyone else at the party wearing your makeup.
