Giorgio Armani has recently introduced an atypical product range for Spring. This nine-piece Caffe collection [1] includes five lipsticks, two lip liners and a lip shimmer. All are in rich, gold, brown, and nude coffee inspired colors. It's kind of like an end-of-Winter bonus line since we've already seen the glowy Spring collection [2] and we are getting ready for the Summer colors to come out (yes, more on this later)!

My favorite combo is the #16 champagne-colored lipstick with the #45 lip shimmer on top — it's the ideal nude lip [3]. But the most notable product has to be the #29 transparent rouge-colored sheer lipstick. It's pretty intimidating in the tube because the color is a blackish-purple goth shade, but when you apply it to your lips, it's completely sheer. The collection has been out for a few weeks already, so if you are browsing around a Giorgio Armani boutique or a department store, have a look and let me know what you think. For a description and pricing details on each of the nine items in the Caffe collection, .

• Smooth Silk Lip Pencils ($25) in a golden-nude shade (#1) and a deep-brick color (#7).
• Lip Shimmer # 45 ($26) is a great investment piece since it looks great paired with all of the lipsticks. (I've tried it out!) It is a sparkly golden-bronze nude colored lip gloss that goes on smooth and leaves your lips looking shiny.
• ArmaniSilk Lipstick ($25) has added five new colors to the range. #16 is a sparkling champagne color. #29 is the deep vampy reddish, brick color that you see pictured on model Sasha Pivovarova. #59 is a true brown-coffee color, #61 is a shimmer deep bronze and #62 is a creamy deep aubergine.
• Sheer Lipstick # 29 ($25) is a sheer extremely deep, dark color that goes on translucent. It's moisturizing, creamy, and leaves lips with a balm-like shine.
