## Shades and Products

Alexandra Leclerc is an art historian and an alum of the École du Louvre, where she specialised in 20th-century art. She lives in Monaco, is married to F1 driver Charles Leclerc, and became Rhode's first muse-ambassador in the brand's Fall 2024 campaign. The collection's names reference her star sign, her home, her favourite painter and her favourite desserts. Her dachshund Leo also appears in the campaign.

### Pocket Pearl

According to Rhode, Pocket Pearl is "a tiny take on our coveted cream blush" that uses the brand's hydrating Pocket Blush formula with a **reflective, shimmery finish**. It is a smaller version of the original [Rhode Pocket Blush](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/1780-rhode-pocket-blush), which has also been expanded with shades such as [Rhode Pocket Blush in Sprinkle](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/1992-rhode-new-shade-pocket-blush-sprinkle). The brand describes it as lightweight, melting onto skin and lasting all day for a "just-back-from-holiday" flush. Its three shades are:

-   **Gemini**: a shimmery candy pink, named for Leclerc's star sign
-   **Monet**: a shimmery apricot, inspired by her favourite artist
-   **Monaco**: a shimmery terracotta, a nod to her home city

### Peptide Lip Tint in Sweet Apple

Sweet Apple ($20) is a sheer-but-buildable, shimmery golden brown Peptide Lip Tint designed to pair with Pocket Pearl. According to Rhode, it hydrates, nourishes and replenishes lips while adding high-shine shimmer. The brand says it smells like tart apple candy. Per Vogue, the name references Leclerc's favourite desserts. The same peptide formula also comes in shades such as [Rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Pretzel](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/2194-rhode-peptide-lip-tint-pretzel-release-date-shade-bubble-bag-restock).

### Rhode Carabiner and Flutter Charm

The Rhode Carabiner ($12) and the Flutter Charm ($8) each come with a **looped cap and jump ring**, so Pocket Pearl can clip onto a bag, keychain or belt loop. The Flutter Charm is a tiny butterfly designed with Leclerc. Leclerc told Vogue she prefers makeup that "looks and feels like skin." She said she wears Gemini and Monet in summer and switches to Monaco with Sweet Apple in fall.
