Estée Lauder Introduces: Holiday 2009.

This past October Estée Lauder has launched the Ultimate Red Color. Here the highlights:

The Ultimate Red Color Collection is a luxurious, opulent collection. The classic navy blue, Signature Estée Lauder packaging has been transformed to a holiday gold, encasing jewel-inspired shades of lavish plums and gold flecked caramels. Lips create a high impact in deep shades of cranberry and blackberry while the skin is lightly dusted in luminous, shimmer powder. Available at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and www.esteelauder.com

This season the eyes are smoldering in rich, smoky shades of plum, burgundy and heather gray accented by glimmering, deep metallic gold. Estée Lauder’s NEW, Limited Edition Signature Eyeshadow Quads in Lavish Plum and Gold Opulence deliver a look of dark and smoky sophistication.

Featuring a unique, holiday-inspired, lattice patterned texture, the Signature Eyeshadow Quads make it easy to build an eye look from soft and subtle warmth to a more dramatic and striking effect. Simply mix, match and/or blend the four eyeshadow shades to expertly create a seductive holiday eye look. Packaged in a specially designed, festive golden compact with two dual ended applicators that make application a breeze, the Signature Eyeshadow Quads ensure eyes will dance with delight for the holidays.

For added allure, line eyes with Estée Lauder’s New Gel Eyeliner in black. This new gel eyeliner allows you to create a precise dark line or a smudgy, smoky eye. The unique formula is housed in a charming pot, featuring a glistening golden cap and petite eyeliner brush for the perfect, precise application every time. And, with a long-wearing, color-true formula, this eyeliner ensures that eyes continue to look fresh no matter how late the holiday festivities go!

To complete your holiday eye look with pure luxury, apply New, Limited Edition TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara in Gold Effects. TurboLash, the world’s first auto-powered, precision-engineered vibrating mascara delivers outstanding performance every time and is now available for the holiday season with special gold effects. This gold topcoat can be used alone to light up bare lashes or can be layered over black mascara for a more dramatic effect.

Delivering a beautifully soft radiance that calls to mind the warmth of the season’s soft lighting, New, Limited Edition Estée Lauder Opulent Shimmer Powder is a luxurious handcrafted, illuminating pressed powder that instantly adds dazzle and a hint of color to the skin. Packaged in a luxurious golden metalized round compact with mirror, the powder features a delightful holiday lattice tablet design that has a decidedly festive feel. Suitable for all skin types and easy to apply, the powder’s two shades can be used individually to highlight or create depth, or the shades can be swirled together and applied liberally to face, neck and décolletage for a radiant holiday glow.
