CDM The Powder Room

There are two things you need to know.

1. 'THE POWDER ROOM' is CDM's new beauty-club, introducing you to the latest make-up trends and skin care routines. We're not claiming to be beauty experts, but we do know what works... and what doesn't work so well.

2. Although it may be Winter in New Zealand, we're kicking off our beauty club with a limited edition collection to get back that healthy summer glow! Introducing the "TO THE BEACH" Summer 2010 collection from M.A.C....

MAC 'To The Beach' Collection

The inspiration?

"There is fun in the sun, to be sure, but To The Beach is more of a sensual state of mind – a pleasure we all feel near the sea. The girl and boy from Ipanema, from Cap d’Antibes to West Palm Beach… All around the world, the seaside has a romance, and a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we’re all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it, with sanddabs, seashells, the magic of marine life decorating packaging in the most soothing, sultry shades of summertime."


It's hot hot hooooot! Shades of coral, rosy coppers, pinks, peaches and bronzes - but that's not all. Check out the collection in-stores now:

'Humid' reminds me of an eyeshadow M.A.C. discontinued but was absolutey to-die-for called 'Melody' with a matte finish instead of a frost. When mixed with a bit of water, these shadows will give you even more colour-intense effect.
