Kjaer Weis The Essential Trio Set

EXCLUSIVE TO NET-A-PORTER.COM. "I have picked my colors to really enhance and beautify the complexion," says makeup artist Kirsten Kjaer Weis. The shadow, lip tint and cream blush in this 'Essential Trio' set do exactly that, creating the perfect smoky eye, deep berry pout and natural-looking glow. They are housed in the label's sleek signature refillable compacts - we think it's the perfect gift for beauty enthusiasts.

• Eye Shadow in Divine
• Lip Tint in Goddess
• Cream Blush in Embrace
• Certified organic, Free from gluten, petroleum, parabens, artificial coloring and fragrance

I have to admit, I have never HEARD of this brand before. This is not something that I've just never seen before, but I truly have never heard the name Kjaer Weis before. And while this set is not cheap at $130, but for 3 items, thats about $43 a piece which is not completely out of line with department store makeup. Having now looked online though, OMG I want sooooo much! The cream blushes are $56 and eyeshadows are $45. Lip tints are $49 as well, so this set is a great deal price wise ($130CDN vs $150USD), though sadly, the shadow shade is not the one I would choose for myself. I will however have to at some point break the bank and splurge on a blush to try! They look utterly amazing! 

This set is available HERE and of course, since its Net-A-Porter, there is free shipping! 

LANCÔME Nouvelle Vague - Jacquemus

Lancôme challenged up-and-coming Parisian designer Jacquemus to design a makeup kit that could double as an evening bag. In keeping with his fresh, nonconformist approach, this waterproof baby-pink case can be carried as a clutch, on the wrist or slung low across your hips with the detachable belt. Filled with three of Lancôme's essential products, it has everything you need to craft and maintain a stunning after-hours look.

• Limited edition
• Includes one Hypnôse Star Waterproof Mascara (6.5ml/ 0.22oz.), one L'Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Caprice (4g/ 0.14oz.), and one Hypnôse Eye Palette in Gris Au Naturel (4ml/ 0.14oz.)

Unlike the Limited Edition Lancome set I showed you earlier today, this one is NOT $1300. Its only $500. I am sadly not joking. Its $500. Also, unlike the last set, this one looks cheap and ugly to me. It truly to me looks like a bag you would buy at a dollar store. Now many will disagree with me I am sure, but a round bubblegum pink fanny pack? I certainly don't get this set. But I am sure there will be those who love it. But a baby pink waterproof fanny pack does NOT say evening to me. If you are one of them, and want to check it out, you can find it HERE.

LANCÔME Nouvelle Vague - Alexandre Vauthier

Lancôme taps three outstanding Parisian designers to create couture makeup cases housing a trio of the label's signature products. Formerly at Thierry Mugler and Jean-Paul Gaultier, designer Alexandre Vauthier draws on his sleek, graphic aesthetic to create this black satin clutch that converts into a shoulder bag. One of only 100 created worldwide, this timeless style opens to a supple leather interior with a zipped pocket and three loops specially sized to secure the included beauty essentials.

• Limited edition
• Includes one Hypnôse Star Waterproof Mascara (6.5ml/ 0.22oz.), one L'Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Caprice (4g/ 0.14oz.), and one Hypnôse Eye Palette in Gris Au Naturel (4ml/ 0.14oz.)

Now this set is gorgeous. No one can deny that. And at $1300  it is also not cheap! But don't worry! It comes with free shipping!! Seriously though, this limited edition set is GORGEOUS and I would seriously be lemming this hardcore (lemming, not buying) but for the Lancome logo on the outside of the bag. It seems a silly little detail to focus on, but at $1300 for a clutch (a gorgeous one) I would want it to be a high end clutch. I could more easily justify (not that I would buy it) the bag if it would look like the high end bag it is. But to add a Lancome logo to the outside to me cheapens the bag making it look more like a gift with purchase.

If however you have $1300 to drop and want to blow it on this set, you can purchase it HERE.
