A Clarins pop-up, the first Celine lipstick, Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne play the muses… The Beauty Imperative of September

Three pop-ups for Clarins Double Serum

To celebrate the release of the 9th generation of its iconic serum, Clarins has decided to set up three pop-up stores in Paris, Lille and Lyon. The concept? Discover this best-selling treatment from the brand in a journey that focuses on experience above all. After receiving a boarding passeach visitor will be invited to discover the place in four fun steps. Texture, packaging, ingredients will obviously be on the program. A consultation with brand experts will allow you to acquire the right gestures to apply the treatment on a daily basis and will allow you to obtain a personalized “prescription” for a tailor-made routine. Finally, each visitor will leave with a kit composed of products to (re)discover the brand’s icons such as the Hydra Essentiel day cream, a mini Lift & Curl mascara and of course a seven-day cure of Double Sérum. Mark your calendars. JF

Pop Up Double Serum: from September 19 to 21 on the forecourt of Gare Saint-Lazare (Cour de Rome – 15 rue de Rome) in Paris, from September 23 to 24 on the forecourt of the Westfield Shopping Center (Avenue Le Corbusier) and from September 27 to 28 on the forecourt of Westfield La Part Dieu (Porte de La Lanterne – Rue de Servient).

Celine unveils its first lipstick

Following the success of its high-end perfumery range, Celine announced the launch of its very first makeup line last March. The products in this highly confidential collection designed by Hedi Slimane are revealed one by one, throughout the seasons, prolonging the mystery. This fall, it is the Rouge Celine in the satin shade “Rouge Triomphe” that inaugurates this exceptional beauty ritual, a prelude to the 14 other still secret shades that will be released from January 2025. This lipstick with a “clean” formula composed of 89% ingredients of natural origin sharpens all the senses with its powdery olfactory signature 70’s and its faceted golden case, stamped with the brand’s monogram. A promising appetizer before lifting the veil on the lip balms, mascara, eyeliner, eye pencil, loose powders, blushes and other nail polishes announced by the house. VH

Celine’s “Rouge Triomphe” lipstick is available exclusively at the Celine boutique on rue Saint-Honoré in Paris.

D’Orsay reveals his love potions

At the origin of Parfums d’Orsay, we find a love story that led Alfred d’Orsay to create a perfume for his muse, Marguerite de Blessington. A mixed juice that they could both wear and combining bergamot, orange blossom and vanilla. Today, the perfume house continues to write this romance by unveiling three new perfume extracts called Love Potions. Flower Lust, signed Dominique Ropion, is powerful and amber, marrying red and black pepper with a thick sandalwood and ylang-ylang alongside orange blossom. The second, Tonka Hysteria was imagined by Jordi Fernandez and is amber and powdery. The secret of its captivating formula? Mandarin and pink berries combined with iris pallida and Tonka bean. Finally, Incense Crush, created by Julien Rasquinet, stands out with its woody and spicy marriage. The latter combines oak and cedar but also cardamom, saffron and clove. A collection that warms the skin as well as the heart. JF

Love Potions Collection, from €180 for 50 ml. Available on dorsay.com .

Kendall Jenner gets into the swing of things for Tory Burch

“Beautiful, sexy and confident”: this is how Kendall Jenner describes the new fragrance from Tory Burch, called Sublime, for which she is the ambassador. Three “charismas” that she embodies all by herself in the captivating campaign video for the perfume. Dressed simply in a silver mesh dress and bright red lipstick, her hair blowing in the wind and her gaze facing the camera, the 28-year-old model strolls around a sculpture of the curvilinear bottle with nonchalant sensuality, to the rhythm of a cover of the title A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins. A “quiet” self-confidence that also emanates from the main campaign visual, immortalized by the famous photography duo Mert Alas, where the American top model appears in scarlet underwear. “Kendall has a quiet strength. She knows who she is and she’s not afraid of anything. She’s an entrepreneur and a role model for many people, and that was important to me,” said the brand’s founder in an official press release. The New York designer wanted to olfactorily transcribe this power with elegance in this juice that combines the warmth of leather and the delicacy of rose, suave notes of osmanthus flower, the sensuality of patchouli and magnolia, a zest of mandarin and earthy vetiver. VH

Tory Burch’s “Sublime” Eau de Parfum will be available in Tory Burch boutiques and on the website www.toryburch.com in fall 2024.

Cara Delevingne joins the L’Oréal Paris family

There are countless L’Oréal Paris muses. From Andie McDowell to Kendall Jenner, Jane Fonda and Eva Longoria, the French brand has chosen muses who all embody the diversity and plurality of its readers. And the latest arrival is no exception. Cara Delevingne embodies for many the revival of models in the 2010s, the one who also launched the trend for thick eyebrows. And who has been able to impose her mischievous and rebellious face in magazines while becoming one of Karl Lagerfeld’s favorites at Chanel. The Englishwoman is now carrying the brand’s message: “I am so excited to join the L’Oréal Paris family and the spirit of sisterhood that has been created by so many inspiring women before me. Beauty is a form of self-expression and empowerment, and I am thrilled to partner with L’Oréal Paris in their mission to inspire all people to realize their potential and feel confident.” A message that resonates particularly with the model who has suffered from depression and is trying to raise awareness of mental health issues. Model, actress, singer, Cara Delevingne knows how to reinvent herself and draws strength in particular from her family (she has two sisters) and her famous friends (Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift in particular). A sense of sisterhood that she will not fail to find and cultivate within L’Oréal Paris. JF

Kiko Milano is (re)starting to perfume. The Italian cosmetics brand has teamed up with the perfume house Givaudan to translate all the facets of Milan into five fragrances. Each of these juices is named after an emblematic district of the city and embodies its distinct atmosphere through its olfactory notes: from the very glamorous and sophisticated Montenapoleone, to the elegant and invigorating Duomo, via the more peaceful Brera, the captivating “Isola”, or even the very sunny and invigorating Navigli.
