Zoom In on the Lancome by Alber Elbaz Collection

After being tantalized by the animated teaser back in January, we finally have the full Lancome by Alber Elbaz collection for you to feast your eyes on.

After being tantalized by the animated teaser back in January, we finally have the full Lancome by Alber Elbaz collection for you to feast your eyes on. And that's just the feature Elbaz wanted to focus on, by dressing up four of the bestselling eye shadow palettes and mascaras from the luxury beauty brand. "The real theme running through the collection is the eyes and roundness forms," Elbaz explains. "The bottles are so fabulously rounded that they were my inspiration. I wanted to create rounded shapes with a hint of humor." The collection hits Lancome counters next month, but you can see everything up close, when you keep clicking!

Amanda Seyfried Replacing Liv Tyler as the New Face of Givenchy

Amanda Seyfried just landed another beauty deal: she's the new face of Very Irresistible Givenchy.

Amanda Seyfried just landed another beauty deal: she's the new face of Very Irresistible Givenchy. As the current spokesperson for Japanese luxury brand Clé de Peau Beauté, playing a beauty muse is no new gig. But she's clearly excited to take part in a fashion house that she's been a longtime fan of. When asked to be the new face of the Givenchy fragrance, she said, "F-ck yeah," WWD reports. "I'm proud to be a part of [the brands I'm involved with] because what they do is really cool, especially Givenchy — they're so artistic."

The fair-skinned beauty just finished shooting the TV and print campaign ads, which were styled by designer Riccardo Tisci. You can expect to see them starting this Fall. And we're excited to see Amanda decked out in more Givenchy as she promotes her latest films, Lovelace and Epic. Now, if only she could score a hair care deal.

A Sunny Nail-Art Idea to Try Right Now

After spotting Bella Thorne's Summery nail art at the Iron Man 3 premiere, I was dying to re-create the simple design.

After spotting Bella Thorne's Summery nail art at the Iron Man 3 premiere, I was dying to re-create the simple design. What makes the look stand out is the complementary color combination of yellow and blue, but the design itself is very simple. I started off with a coat of Essie First Base ($8), and then I applied two coats of Chanel Le Vernis in Mimosa ($27), leaving my ring fingers bare. Next, I applied two coats of Essie Bikini So Teeny ($8) to my ring fingers. While the paint was still wet, I used a dotting tool to create the random white spots with Chanel Le Vernis in Eastern Light ($30). A high-shine polish, Essie Good to Go ($10) topped off this cheerful style.

What We're Sweet On: A Serious Face Scrub That Delivers

I've sworn by Kate Somerville ExfoliKate ($22-$175) for years, and when I don't use it, I realize how much my clear, glowing skin is a result of regular appointments with my Kate Somerville tube.

I've sworn by Kate Somerville ExfoliKate ($22-$175) for years, and when I don't use it, I realize how much my clear, glowing skin is a result of regular appointments with my Kate Somerville tube. The original formulation is the perfect blend of physical and enzymatic ingredients, so you can be sure you're getting the optimum results with every use.

Try using it when you first step in the shower and leaving it on your face while you do the rest of your routine, so the enzymes get a chance to do their sloughing action. Plus, there are other formulas designed for sensitive skin and acne-prone complexions. Say goodbye to breakouts, scarring, and uneven texture, and say hello to that gorgeous skin you always knew you had.

First came BB creams, then came BB treatments for your hair, and now there's a BB drink for beautiful skin from the inside out. The Kusmi Tea BB Detox (approx $16-$20) is the latest launch from the luxury Parisian tea company's wellness teas. In this case, BB stands for beauty beverage. Maté and green tea are key ingredients that help flush toxins from your body — and its largest organ, your skin. Green tea is also well known for its strong antioxidant powers, and it's blended with dandelion and rooibos for added skin protection through vitamins A and C and alpha hydroxy acids, respectively. Lastly, hydration is essential to glowing skin, which is why this delicious tea helps you get your necessary water intake in a calorie-free yet delicious way. Plus, this herbal blend is great hot or cold, so this will be one you reach for all year round.

Take Turquoise Varnish Up a Notch With This Easy Nail-Art Idea

With all the new makeup launches, it's pretty clear that turquoise nail varnish is the must-have shade for Spring and Summer.

With all the new makeup launches, it's pretty clear that turquoise nail varnish is the must-have shade for Spring and Summer. Not only does this blue-green colour pop against Springtime pastels, but also, it looks even cooler set against a golden sparkle.

For this mermaid-inspired look, I used the teal-hued Paul & Joe Nail Enamel in Caribbean (£10), along with the gold-glittered Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow (£13
.11). Start off with a base coat like Butter London Nail Foundation (£15), and then swipe on two coats of the turquoise varnish. Next, dab the gold glitter polish on the base of the nail to create a gradient effect. Once you have your desired look, seal everything with a top coat like Essie Good to Go (£8.99) for fast-drying shine. Even if you're not soaking up some sun at the beach, one glance at your nails will take you there.
