Givenchy Sari Collection
Sorry to disappoint you .. it is indeed a sari collection but it is a make up line and not sari line…
Inspired by the sensual and refined beauty of Indian women, this precious collection offers touches of bright, joyful oranges and pinks that are evocative of the culture’s ornate clothing and makeup. Together, the sultry shades create a seductive look expressed through a soft healthy complexion, sensual lips, and—most of all—intense, magnetic eyes.
If you want maharani pink or maharani orange, you know where to go!

Love the colours, but I can’t really afford one tube of lipstick for $42. Quite a few ads, magazine shoots and makeups have used the Indian “pink and orange” as themes or inspirations in the last year. Any insider comments from Sunny as to why this has gotten so popular with non-Indian products and adverts? I mean, pink and orange toenails on elephants in American fashion magazines! Oh, I love this blogsite! Gorgeous photos you post for us!!
‘Sunny’: It’s spelled ‘source’ and not ‘souce’.
clio: I’m not quite sure where you’re getting those numbers, but the lipsticks are $27, not $42.
I’m a beauty blogger and this collection is fairly disappointing, to be frank. The packaging is so damn generic and the model isn’t even South Asian. Epic fail. At least Elizabeth Arden got it right with the Heritage Collection palettes:

Actually others have praised the packaging of the Sari collection.

Referred to as “packaging hotness”.
Clio got the $42 number from the screen shot I posted. The blush is $42.
You have a funny blog.
That would be ‘other’ singular, if it’s just that one blogger you’re referring to. That said, I’ve no doubt you could find dozens of reviews praising the packaging, but (as we can glean from the growing audience for Bollywood movies) popularity is an entirely different matter from quality or creativity. Everyone’s entitled to like or dislike this makeup collection, but that doesn’t make the products or their packaging any less generic or uninspired. MAC did a slightly better job with the packaging for it’s ‘Manish Arora’ collection.
Also, I was already aware of how much the blush costs, but I’d like to thank you for pointing it out again.
Well, manydpandy,there were others (plural) on that site who found the packaging very pretty. But I still don’t think I can handle $27 for a lipstick or $42 for the blush; my mistake on the item pricing!
What did you all think of the OPI nail polish collection from last Spring? Not the product packaging, but the beautiful model on the unit that holds the bottles – she looks like Kareena Kapoor.
Yes, ‘clio’, there are also many others (plural) who would consider McDonalds food tasty or Adam Sandler films amusing (and they’re more than entitled to feel that way), but that doesn’t make Big Macs any more nutritious or Adam Sandler’s films any more ‘highbrow’. Then again, I can comprehend the difference between ‘quality’ and ‘popularity’, even when others (plural) can’t.
I’m so glad you liked the model for OPI India collection and even more elated that you’re sharing that fact with me. I only wish the folks at OPI could have splurged for the REAL Kareena Kapoor, if that would have made you happy.
