The Daria Collection of Lancôme has officially been launched this week. The collection consists of cosmetics makeup products: an eye shadow palette, a lipstick and a lipgloss.

Makeupminute reports that the Daria Collection is a gorgeous blend of Brazilian earthy tones – it just makes you feel the sand between your toes, the air as it passes through your hair at the beach, the heat from the glistening sun.

Lancôme is donating a portion of the proceeds from this collection to Centro Espacial Vik Muniz, an education program that supports arts education programs for young adults in Rio de Janeiro.

According to diunSA, this bold, new collection isn’t just dedicated to making women look good – but rather, to make them feel good too.

The color statement of the collection’s ‘Brazilian Earth Colours,’ is natural and sophisticated. Sun-kissed browns, natural nudes and warm golds naturally enhance the beauty of the face’s most sensual features - the lips and eyes.

The Daria cosmetics makeup Collection from Lancôme is available for sale in online stores with a retail price of $45.

Actress Angelina Jolie is in negotiations with Coty, a French fragrance house, for launching her personal fragrance line. Jolie plans to give her collection a name that will best describe her persona.

Celeb Guru reports that Jolie will be the next celebrity to launch a fragrance with Coty after Sarah Jessica Parker.

Angelina Jolie recently parted ways with fashion house St.John ending her three-year stint with them. Not the kind to brood, St.John has replaced Jolie with four upcoming models and Jolie, in turn, has now decided to to put out her own line of fragrances with Coty, a French fragrance house.

According to the Improper, given Jolie’s unrivaled star power today, it’s likely her fragrances will rake in tons of cash.

The venture would enable Jolie to continue supporting her many charitable causes. Jolie, 33, is a U.N. Ambassador who reportedly donates one-third of her income to charity.

A source is quoted telling the British newspaper,The Mail.

“Angelina wants a very strong input. She wouldn’t want a fragrance that she didn’t feel encapsulates her.”

Actor Antonio Banderas is launching a new fragrance, called “Blue Seduction For Women.” Not a big surprise for those who are interested and well informed in beauty news. This is the actor’s fifth fragrance launched exclusively for women so far. Blue Seduction For Women is set to hit beauty stores nationwide in the beginning of September.

GlamBoulevard reports that the actor has described the fragrance as the scent in his line that most suits his persona.

Antonio Banderas wants to seduce you. Slated to hit shelves in September, Antonio Banderas launches his 5th fragrance, a women’s version of his Blue Seduction scent, called Blue Seduction for Women. Perfume maker Puig Beauty U.S.A, is hoping the line will be as successful as his past fragrances, each ranking top 10 in mass stores.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, during their launch years, each Banderas fragrance has ranked among the top 10 in mass stores.

The latest introduction closely copies the nuances of the bottle for the men’s Blue Seduction. The glass bottle is transparent and is designed to resemble the reflection of light on water — an effect achieved, thanks to a sculpted base designed to resemble a mosaic tile.

Pricing is in line with other Banderas scents — $21.50 for the 1-oz. eau de toilette spray and $30 for the 1.7-oz.
