It was designed to provide long-lasting color that didn’t smudge, even after eating or kissing. This was groundbreaking for the time. Its innovative formula, developed by chemist Paul Baudecroux, used a type of cosmetic dye that stained the lips, offering durability far beyond traditional lipsticks. Women seeking bold, smudge-proof, and long-lasting lip color
Title: Savoie France – Fêtes du centenaire Artist: Auriac Date: 1960 Printer: Société d’Exploitation Etablissements de La Vasselais, Paris Size: 27 x 39 inches
This poster image was used both for celebrating 100 years of Savoie Region and also exists with the title Megeve. You can see its summertime with flowers about but in the background is the famous Mont Blanc which stays white with snow through the whole summer.
The “célèbre clocher à bulbes” (famous onion-shaped bell tower) in the Savoie region of France refers to the distinct bulbous bell towers found in many churches in the region. These towers, also known as “clochers à bulbes”, are a hallmark of Baroque architecture introduced in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially under the influence of the Counter-Reformation.
These onion-shaped domes are particularly common in alpine regions, including Savoie, and are a reminder of the strong religious influence in the area. One of the most famous examples in Savoie is the bell tower of the Saint-Martin Church in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, though many other towns and villages in Savoie feature similar structures.
