Celebrity makeup artist Tricia Sawyer will be launching her own cosmetics line next month on QVC.  Her products proved a success last month when 4,000 units of Eye Slept [under eye revitalizing cream] sold in 6 minutes during the artist’s introductory segment on QVC’s “Beauty Newsmakers”.

Sawyer, whose instructional experience began as a line specialist for Prescriptives, says “You can only do so many women one-on-one [at a] counter or in-store at a time, I really wanted attainable beauty, and I wanted to show as many people as I could.  QVC is amazing at that."  Each product includes a three hour instructional DVD, just in case you’re not a pro.

The line consists of seven products:

• Alive: botanical-loaded moisturizer $34 
• Eye Slept: under eye cream $21
• Powder and Brush Duo: $59
• Starlets: iridescent powder shades $21
• Essentials Palette: neutral eye shadows $34
• Smoke and Mirrors: a one-step smoky eye tool $20
• Foundation and Blush Combo: $51

Following in the footsteps of  Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior, Pucci will now be diving deeper into beauty with it’s first ever color cosmetics collection.  Pucci is known for luxurious refinement and an attention to detail, it’s intensely colorful prints can be spotted from a mile away!  Pucci’s five piece “limited edition” collection was created with Guerlain and will launch this May.

The collection was inspired by a scarf made specially for the project, the fuchia, mauve, apricot and turquoise print cannot go unnoticed, the print is part of the products outer packaging as well as some of the cases which contain the actual makeup.

The Eye Set [$75] has been named the line’s star product, it’s a reusable makeup case containing kohl eyeliner, mascara and a four shadow palette.  Guerlain’s signature Meteorites [pressed-powder beads], in the same bright Pucci colors will also be available in the collection along with a mousse blush and four exclusive lip gloss shades.  With the brightly colored Pucci print and the “limited addition” status the new collection should create quite a buzz and possibly attract a younger clientele to the more mature Guerlain client base.
