Lancôme 2012 Fall Collection: Midnight Roses

With a 75-year heritage of developing outstanding make-up and skincare products, Lancôme is an international beauty pioneer. Founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, the name Lancôme was inspired by the ruins of a castle, Le Château de Lancosme, and the wild roses that grew in the grounds are referenced in the label's motif, a single golden rose.

Ambitious to carry le chic beyond French borders, Petitjean created outstanding Lancôme skincare, fragrance and cosmetic ranges which became the beauty products of choice for film stars of the time. Lancôme's success continues today, with make-up bag musts such as Hypnôse Mascara and the iconic Juicy Tubes worn by a glittering line-up of brand ambassadors. If you know Michelle Phan, then you can be so familiar with this brand. 

Michelle Phan for Lancôme

Michelle's meet and greet for Lancôme at Sephora

In case you didn’t know, Michelle Phan is a beauty guru on youtube and a brand ambassador of Lancôme Paris. Honestly, almost all of her Lancôme sponsored videos impressed me. She just did a really prodigious job in creating different looks with different Lancôme products. I mean, yes you make numerous make-up looks with an abundant supplies at hand but only few can create the great ones. And here are the 2 Lancôme videos of Michelle that I really love. Just 2 words: Simple and Elegant.  (Click here and here!)

DIY Anthro Strand Necklace

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 1/2″ Wide Ribbon – 3 1/4 yards, Stringing Cord, Small Glass Beads, Large Round Beads – 5/8″ (any type), Crimp Beads – 20, Jump Rings – 6, Thread

Start by stringing your beads. Cut an 11″ piece of stringing cord.  Thread beads onto the cording – it will help control the cording if you thread the loose end through a needle.

Continue threading beads until your cord is about 8 inches. Finish the cording the same way you did the other end, with a crimp bead and jump ring. Cut your cording so you have about one inch left and feed that back through your beads.

Continue adding strands and beads until there are five strands on the jump rings.

Make a second group of five strands.  Link the two strand groups together with a single jump ring on each end. It might seem to have made more sense to added all the strands to one large jump ring but I was afraid that they wouldn’t lay straight – that all those loops on one ring might be too much.

Cut your ribbon into four 28″ pieces. Turn up one end of each of the strips and sew the edge down to hem it, about 1/4″.

Turn the strips right side out.  Press the strips lightly.

Push the ring and strands into the casing so it begins to fold over itself. Work the strand into the casing so the ring is about one inch in. Insert the needle into the casing and bring it out at the point of the hem and ring.

Make a few stitches sewing the ring and hem in place. Knot and clip your thread.

Make a knot in the ribbon casing so that it covers your stitching.

Push one of the beads down that are in your casing already up against the knot. Tie another knot on the other side. Repeat for the last bead. So you should have three knots and two beads between them.

If you’d like the necklace a bit longer, you can just knot the end. I like it shorter so I tied a bow.

Tada! Your Anthro Necklace is finish!
