Giorgio Armani Night Viper Fall 2010 Makeup
August 26, 2010 Sexy nocturnal shades are the main focus in Giorgio Armani's Night Viper Fall 2010 makeup collection. Deep blue tones, cool pinks and crimson berry can be seen throughout the entire line.
This season's Maestro Eye Shadow Quad features Inky Navy Blue, Dark Brown, Icy Brown and Silver. This might seem pricey but I've seen similar quads for a lot more. This is actually a decent buy.
For the ultimate smoky eye, the Eyes to Kill Eye Color Trio #7 is the new palette for Fall. The center is a pure satin mauve, while the middle ring is a sparkly ink black. The outer ring is a metallic aubergine purple. Purple is one of the key colors for Fall fashion, so if you don't have a purple eyeshadow palette yet, this is one to consider.
Three new shades are introduced for the Rouge d'Armani lipstick line. I tried the 602 Soft Pink and it's just too pretty. This is a misnomer, because it's not soft or light at all, but rather a pretty bright fuschia pink. The color also lasts for up to 8 hours, and it's not slippery. In fact, it doesn't have the heavy "I'm-wearing-lipstick" feeling at all. I also love the magnetic closure - you never have to click it shut.

The new Blending Blush Duo is just lovely. The left dark raspberry side is actually not as bright as it looks, but you can definitely layer it to make your cheeks look darker. The right pale shimmering side is so light on my cheek that I can barely see it. But, if I mix the two shades together it's just perfect - you end up with a gorgeous flush of natural pink color.
For the skin care fiends: Armani also launched the new Crema Nera Extrema High Recovery Elixir. This potent serum offers a triple action formula. Featuring the Extrema antioxidant, it acts as a UV shield to prevent further sun damage. The Crystal Complex, Vitamin CG (stabilized Vitamin C) and Palmaria Palmata (red algae) extract work together to fight hyper-pigmentation. Lastly, the volcanic Obsidian Mineral Complex (OMC3) provides anti-aging properties by stimulating collagen renewal. I haven't used it for a full month but each time I use it the skin just drinks it up. The scent also reminds me of an Armani fragrance.

Everything looks gorgeous!
Indeed they are ;)
I love this. I love fall and fall colors. These are so beautiful.
Armani packaging is always so exquisite -- simple yet elegant. Sigh, if only that eye shadow came with a free Armani little black dress, I'd be all set. ;)
Haha! You and me both! :D
Fantastic! I'm SO gonna wear the make-up in the first photo!
Everything looks good!
