Givenchy Summer 2009 Collection

Leave it to me to get sunburned when it's not even hot out! I was walking around Madrid -- in a cropped jacket, wearing SPF 15 (plus makeup with SPF), in about 70 degree weather and yet I somehow managed to get totally sunburned!! The thing that's the worst about sunburns is that when I try to cover them not only do I end-up usually looking orange (as I did when I tried applying both my Chanel and LORAC bronzers), but it hurts so much when I take-off my makeup! That said, I have a few friends in Spain that I rarely get to see and I wasn't about to look like a tomato when I went out with them. So, I headed straight for Sephora and El Corte Ingles to load-up on some options. I end-up getting some stuff from Givenchy. I had heard that their summer collection was great, so I picked-up  Givenchy Glow To Wear Sun Satin ($37) and Givenchy Prismissime Mat & Glow - Sun Caramel 73 Sun Caramel ($53). Both are limited edition items for Summer 2009.  The chalkboard of colors that is Prismissime turned-out to be perfect for my sunburns. Since my face was a patch of different shades I could apply what I needed, where I needed. There are both matte as well as pearly shades (I'm a fan of some shine, but red draws enough attention as is, so I stuck with matte). As for Glow to Wear, I mixed it with SPF 45 body sunscreen and it gave my skin a beautiful tint -- not too dark, not too much shimmer -- it was just right. I also felt a firming effect when I applied it on my legs. Check-out more from Givenchy here!
