Jouer Cosmetics first launched in 2004 as a simple, fun color line with compacts that connect to create custom makeup palettes. Zilber and her ingenious concept had nearly a cult following in the who’s who of the beauty and entertainment industries. With the experience and success of her small color line, Christina saw this definitive opportunity to capitalize on her vision and embarked on a new venture to re-develop and expand Jouer into a full custom luxury collection.

 Talking Makeup is excited to give you a sneak peek to the new Givenchy Holiday 2008 Collection.

Nicolas Degennes has captured the brilliance of a starlit night in his sweet sexy and dazzling Holiday 2008 Makeup Collection, designed for women who like to get all dressed up for a sophisticated evening.

The collection offers a porcelain complexion sculpted by touches of glowing light; silky, sensual, shimmering skin; shades of fresh pink and provocative purple; and intense, bewitching black eyes.

Even the customized boxes and cases sparkle, with golden graphics on a lilac-colored metallic background. This variation on purple evokes the intensity of the night, creating real fireworks!

Prisme Again! Blush Glow
Liven up dull skin with a pop of vivid color on the cheeks. Each shimmering color cube, in shades of pink and coral, are enhanced with white and pink shimmer particles to create a rosy glow. Shades: 71 Glowing Rose (Limited Edition) Price: $40.

Mister Bright Touch of Light Pen
Make imperfections fade into the background while drawing attention to luminous skin and beautiful facial contours. With one click of the sleek pen, a fluid fusion of concealer and highlighter is deposited onto a soft-birstled pen; minuscule particles of pink mother-of-pearl perk up a wan complexion, while its reflective properties provide an optical illusion that draws attention away from lines, spots and shadows. Use a touch on the inner corners of eyes to illuminate, sweep away dark circles with a flick of the brush, or dot all over the face to create an ethereal glow. Shade: 71 Dawnlight. Price: $31.50.

Pop Gloss Crystal Lip Gloss
Shimmer and shine draw attention to a full pout. This season, subtly enhance lips with a rosy-pink tone infused with golden and white shimmer, or go for drama with a shot of blueberry-tinted gloss heightened with mother-of-pearl particles in pink and white. Shades: 443 Rose by Night, 444 Plum by Night (Limited Edition). Price: $23.50.

Rouge Interdit Shine Ultra-Shiny Lipstick
For more shine than lipstick, more color than gloss, reach for this unique creation that leaves lips soft and gleaming. Each tube is emblazoned with golden twinkles, and is available in two party-ready shades: a pinky-beige tone that gives off an understated vive, or a punch of vibrant raspberry for a sophisticated look. Shades: 02 Nude Shine, 07 Rose Shine. Price: $26.50.

Phenomen’Eyes Mascara High-Precision Panoramic Mascara
Reach for this customized-for-holiday version of the revolutionary mascara to coat each lash to its fullest, curviest and longest potential. This limited edition offering deposits subtle golden and lilac sparkles to add a special glow to lashes. Shade: 751 (Limited Edition). Price: $27.

Very Couture Palette
The aesthetic that commanded the Givenchy runway – an abundance of black accented with silver metal grommets – was the inspiration for this uptown-urban, rocker-chic compact. Tomboy-touch on the outside, it zippers open to expose a decidedly girly assortment of makeup selections.

A quad of vibrant pink and purple eyeshadow hues is nestled beside a color-coordinated fresh pink lip gloss, accompanied by a combination of perfecting face powder and blush, plus a black mini mascara tube. It even contains diminutive versions of deluxe applicator brushes, to make it simple to create and touch up a stunning, lively look. (Limited edition). Price: $45.

Available: From November 2008 at Sephora and Sephora.com.
