SNEAK PEEK Part Deux! Armani’s New Fabric Bronzers And Blushes. Now With Added DROOL

Yesterday we took a schneaky peek at some upcoming launches from Armani, and we oooh-ed and aaah-ed over their new liquid bronzer and fusion blush. Some of us may even have peered into the dark recesses of our coin jars, and/or rummaged for coins down the back of the couch, to fund the aforementioned ooh-ing.

But today shall see us rummaging through our coat pockets and looking for rumpled, long-forgotten notes. Because we are going to have a peep at the rest of this summer release and if you prefer compact powders over liquid bronzers and blushers, then this post is especially for you!

First up are the Sun Fabric Bronzers. Armani have created these using their 'Color Essenza' technology, where pigments are ground separately to get the purest colour possible. Then they are combined with a transparent, non-whitening base to deliver exact shades, and my, what beautiful shades they are.

Sun Fabric will be available in four shades, all of which feature a different shimmery pearl colour and will set you back an eye-watering €62:

• pantelleria (100), gold tone
• amber (200), bronze tone
• heat (400), copper tone
• mania (500), tourmaline tone

The texture of the powder is divine - it's just so smooth and silky. And the compact comes with a half-moon brush hidden under that gorgeous pleat pattern.

If you are a fan of the Giorgio Armani Beauty Blushing Fabric, then you'll be delighted to hear that Armani have invested serious time and pennies into adding to their blush offerings.

The Cheek Fabric range uses the same 'Color Essenza' technology as the Sun Fabric, meaning that these are an absolute delight to wear. The texture is so soft that it just glides onto the skin, without settling in any pores or lines. It looks like a second skin, but a really GOOD second skin.

I think I've found my Summer blush crush.

Cheek Fabric (€42) will be avail be in 11 colours: androgino (200), incognito (302), dolci (305), attitude (306), ecstasy (307), pop (500), skin (502), intimate (504), blush (506), flesh (507) and eccentrico (509).

Sun Fabric Bronzers and Cheek Fabric Blushes will be available from May, exclusively at Brown Thomas Cork and Dublin.
