Beauty lust alert: Lancôme is launching its luxe Maharani Jewels collection this month. Inspired by the exotic jewels that would adorn the neck of a Maharani, or princess, this collection celebrates the colorful and elaborate designs rooted in Indian culture.

Particularly covet-worthy is the collection’s elephant bronzer.

Packed with shades of shimmery gold and bronze powder, this compact bears the charming figure of an elephant (often regarded as a symbol of India) embossed right into the powder. Definitely an object of desire, the bronzer and the rest of the Maharani Jewels collection is scheduled to hit stores later this month.

New Lotus Splendor Eye Shadow Palette from Lancôme

A new eye shadow palette has just been introduced as part of the Fall / Winter 2008 “Maharani Jewels” collection by Lancôme. This lotus flower shaped palette is available in two color combinations – Brown Nalini and Warm Keva.

Unfortunately, it will not be available in US, as I was told by a Lancome Consumer Affairs Specialist. What do we get instead? A plain old quad palette in two shades: “Lotus Splendor” (warm nude-beige-chocolate) and “Secrets of Bengal” (cool pink-purple-metalic).

I noticed that along with usual shades of classic warm autumn shades, purple and metallic shades dominate this season, in make-up and clothing alike.
