I've been on a bit of a gloss hiatus these days, wearing only balm or super-bright/dark lipsticks when my mood calls for it, but I might be back and ready to rock Estee Lauder's new Pure Color Gloss line. As a sample, I received the brand's Custom Collection — six shades by Tom Pechaux, Estee's creative makeup director. The palette is simple: A nude, two pink-berry shades, two red-coral shades and a plum, which is my personal fave. The main collection offers 34 shades in three different finishes (shine, shimmer, sparkle). If you can tell a real difference, you get a prize. Not really. Available in June.
Just got back from a trip to a climate where the sun is deceptively strong and I was in desperate need of some good, solid moisture to help wrangle the "tan" (read: burn) I somehow acquired, despite my steadfast use of SPF. And voila, this new Estée Lauder moisturizer materialized at my desk. According to the brand, using this cream will strengthen your skin's moisture barrier over time with something called Sustainable Moisture Complex. There's also a lot of other technical mumbo jumbo involved, but I won't get started. I tried it, I liked it. E.O.S. (End O' Story). Read all about it.
I was sent a sampling of Estée Lauder's new Blacker than Black collection, designed to help gals acheive a super-smoky party eye. The mascaras, which range in price from $19.50 to $32, are amped-up versions of six of the brand's top offerings and apparently, the scientists over at Estée Lauder "maximized color intensity and opacity using select Carbon Black and Black Iron Oxides and putting the pigment through an ultrasonic process. Whoa, sounds tres serious. I'm looking forward to testing them out, despite the fact that mascara doesn't typically excite me. In the collection, there's also a Double Wear pencil ($19) a shadow quad in blacks and grays ($35).
Available in December at makeup counters and the brand's site.
