MN 2011 Fall Model - Brown

Dubai, UAE; August 10, 2011: Play with colors this fall as Merle Norman Cosmetics presents its latest crop to complement the sweater-dressing trend this season. The trusted skincare and makeup brand is presenting its new Fall Collection highlighted by soft and dramatic shades.

Two limited editions of Eye color Trios combine the freshest hues such as Silver Sky, Desert Shimmer & Cobalt and Cranberry, Vanilla Mousse & Black Frost in the new collection. Another invigorating color to brighten the eyes is the limited edition Lasting Cream Eyeshadow in Blue Suede, which provides rich and inky color that can be used to line or shade the lids.

Mamta Thakkar, General Manager at Merle Norman Cosmetics UAE, said “The mixture of pigments in our new Fall Collection gives a very subtle shimmer that adds a dramatic feel to the look. With a swipe of smoky shadows and luscious lip shades, it is envisaged to further enhance one’s features.”

Tint the cheeks with warm pinks like Lasting Cheekcolor in Razzle Dazzle and limited edition Bashful to give the face a warm and inviting glow.

Thakkar added: “Lining and filling in lips is the secret to achieve the natural lips look. Our Lip Pencil’s glide-on application and silky, smooth texture makes it easy to outline and define while adding depth to the lips. Hide & Seek matches well with light neutrals while Mud Pie is great with dark neutrals.”

To complete the look, top off the lip with updated variations in pink, beige, brown and berry using Lip Polish in Shy, Burnt Sugar, Passionista and Downtown Brown, and Lip Pencil Plus in Sincerely.

“As the summer draws to an end and the weather begins to change, so does the skin. Head to any Merle Norman Cosmetic Studios to learn how to make a smooth transition in your skin care regimen from a professional,” said Thakkar.

The Fall Collection is available at all Merle Norman Cosmetics Studios located at the stand-alone studio along Jumeirah Beach Road (04 – 3427232) and in leading malls such as Festival Centre, Dubai Festival City, Level 1 (04 2328566); City Centre, Level 1, South Entrance (04 2840770); Sharjah Mega Mall, Level 2 (06 5748380); and soon-to-open in Mushrif Mall in Abu Dhabi.

The new Excalibur collection has become more virile, its high-tech movements more visible, and its style more modern. In 2005, the ROGER DUBUIS Manufacture took the watch world by storm with the presentation of a highly unusual model that was as virile as it was original, the EXCALIBUR. With the EXCALIBUR collection, the young watch company proved that “value is not a question of years”, further evidence of the astonishing symbiosis that characterises the Brand, a masterful combination of ancestral watchmaking savoir-faire and a boldly modern style.

The Excalibur line is celebrating the most delicate of its complications, the minute repeater, dressed in rose gold. Much of the impeccable Poinçon de Genève finishing of the complex movement can be admired through the openworked dial. The tourbillon, positioned at 5 o’clock, is set off by a rose gold ring enclosed by stylistic grey lines, while a double flange with a minute circle and rose gold appliques, in black and grey respectively, gives the dial greater depth. The hand-sewn alligator strap is enhanced with a rose gold folding clasp. This exclusive model comes in a single limited series of 28.

Created in 2005, the double tourbillon holds a place of honour in the Brand’s history. This year it has made a powerful comeback. The jumping-dial has Roman numerals, the retrograde minute dial Arabic numerals. The movement in this second generation of double tourbillons has been totally re-engineered, with over thirty components re-designed and manufactured. It turns the two tourbillons in unison as is shown by their two blue seconds hands. The movement stamped with the Poinçon de Genève, is housed in a platinum case, which comes on a hand-sewn alligator strap with a folding clasp. This exclusive model comes in a single limited series of 28.

Hand-wound mechanical movement, 16’’’, 61 jewels, rhodium-plated, Côtes de Genève motif. Stamped with the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark. Double flying tourbillon with differential, tourbillon cages visible between 4 and 5 o’clock, and 7 and 8 o’clock. Both tourbillons make one revolution per minute, power reserve indicator visible at back of case, jumping hour (360°), retrograde dragging minute between 9 and 3 o’clock (180°). Number of components: 413

Equipped with the brand new self-winding mechanical movement, one of the collection’s very latest models, the pierced tourbillon, reveals both its micro-rotor and flying tourbillon. The rose gold fillets outline the mother-of-pearl area on a dial designed with a circle theme and accentuate the strength of the large Roman numerals. The rose gold case is complemented by a hand-sewn alligator strap fitted with a rose gold folding clasp. This exclusive model comes in a single limited series of 88.

EXCALIBUR, bi-retrograde jumping date. The subtle play of the Arabic numerals, which border the two symmetrical anthracite bi-retrograde date zones, blends harmoniously with the white gold applique hour-markers. The black inner flange, punctuated with Arabic numerals, encircles the dial and gives it its strong character. This brand new movement, which enriches the Manufacture’s range of products, is housed in a white gold case. The hand-sewn alligator strap is fitted with a white gold folding clasp.

This exclusive model comes in a single limited series of 88.
