I may be heading to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC tomorrow but my heart will be in Vancouver: Along with my stilettos and ultra-chic all-black ensembles, I’m packing my Red Mittens and this Roxy hoodie, perfect for blogging from my hotel lobby. After all, a girl’s gotta represent!

I’m all over the Olympic collections — are you? Who will be decked out in Canada gear to watch the Opening Ceremonies on Friday?

The Vancouver 2010 winter games are just around the corner and Lancôme is ready to show their support. Their new limited edition collection is called Gold Fascination to reflect the gold medals pursued by female Canadian athletes. The shimmering collection was designed by one of the world’s most influential photographers, Raphael Mazzucco and his wife, Lisa-Marie.

I got the chance to speak to Raphael about the collection and find out what the story behind the makeup is. “The whole inspiration is the theme of Canadian female athletes,” he says. “Determination, perseverance, something to attain, the highest level, like in the games.”

The new collection is available for a limited time only at The Bay. The eyshadow quad (pictured) retails for $48. The collection also has Color Design Blush ($38) in two different shades, L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick ($35) in three different shades and La Base Pro ($42)–my personal fave. It’s a makeup primer that holds your makeup in place all day long. It’s become my new can’t-live-without product.

The new collection is out right now so you can check it out. Plus, if you happen to be in Vancouver this Sunday, February 6, you can meet Raphael at The Bay between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.  “I hope that the art will inspire people and make them think of things that make them dream and leave them with a good feeling,” Raphael says about Gold Fascination.

Lusting after more Olympic-inspired products? Shop our Vancouver 2010 store for loads more great stuff just in time for the games.
