I've usually noticed cosmetic companies sporting more of brown and neutrals for Fall makeup collection, but strikingly Estee Lauder has chosen to go with a mix of subtle and "bold" this fall. I found a touch of both glamour and soberness in the eye shadows and lip colors. However, their Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée is something I found quite innovative and interesting. The shades being launched in this are also dark and attractive. This particular Estee Lauder Makeup Fall 2011 collection is named as - " The Pure Color Mercury " The colors sported by this particular collection seem to be more than enough to lit up the dullness of fall and I absolutely loved the way they have been designed to compliment each other. To me the whole collection seemed quite balanced - you have shimmer, metal, shine and matte in everything to have that versatility and freedom to create the look you want to sport. Amongst colors - red lipstick, bright green nail lacquer!; Ne...

I got this lip gloss in the Estee Lauder Beauty defining kit I ordered from Amazon a couple of months back. Out of all the products provided by the kit, this was the one that I used least of all. Not that it is not good, its just that the shade was something I couldn't carry quite well. I've used this lip gloss a couple of times only, however I absolutely love the formula a lot. Check out more details below: About Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss Vernis a levres This particular lip gloss has been the award winner for Best Lip Gloss 2009 Beauty Awards Brides Magazine May/June 2009 Creamy, hydrating brilliance. Luxurious formula glides on smoothly. My experience with this lip gloss: I got the travel size of the gloss with the beauty defining and it had 7ml of product in it. The shade looks lovely pink on swatch and is frosty on application. However, as per the claims, the gloss is super hydrating, ultra-creamy and very comfortable to wear. The shade is lovely, but as is the ca...

I got this lipstick as a part of the Estee Lauder beauty defining Kit that I ordered from Amazon, around 2 months back. I've used it quite a lot of times now, even on my "special occasion". I must say it is a perfect party-wear lipstick, with luster and shine that doesn't look OTT at all. It also lasts a lot longer throughout my drinking or eating or laughing or even dancing! So, here goes my review of this lipstick. The shade I got was - Rubellite.

Have you heard the old famous fairy tale of Snow white and seven dwarfs ? In that story, the evil witch queen had a magical mirror and she used to ask the mirror: “Mirror, mirror on the wall / Who in the land is fairest of all” And the mirror would reply: “You, my queen, are fairest of all.” That was the time till Snow white was just a kid. Of course, she being the protagonist of the story replaced queen's place the moment she grew up leading to all other troubles in her life. Anyways, I am not going to talk about fairness here, nor am I going to compare myself to the evil queen(evil laugh!!! lol ). But we all definitely want our mirrors to reflect that flawless, beautiful and glowing skin. Don't we? And, when it comes to getting ready for our big day (in this case my wedding!), it becomes even more important to look your flawlessly best. With that purpose in mind, I ordered this Estee lauder makeup kit from Amazon and got my hands on this beauty. At that time I was suff...

I got this particular mascara with my Estee Lauder Cosmetic Beauty Defining 5 pc Travel kit , which I ordered from Amazon. Out of all the five products I got, this mascara was the only one that had the quantity of sample size(3.5 ml) instead of regular travel sized (7 ml) one, but that is just a little less than the full sized product quantity, so can't complain on that!  I've used it four times till date, and have really liked the effects it gave. As, it was just the sample size, I thought of reviewing it here today. What does Estee Lauder say about its MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara? An advanced mascara to emphasize your lashes.

Dispersed pigments intensify color 30% more with moisturizing property to help prevent breakage flaking or clumping Fragrance free suitable for contact lens wearers ...

I ordered this five piece Estee Lauder cosmetics travel kit from Amazon on January 27th, 2011, and I received the package today. What a lovely day to receive such things! I've always been quite impressed with the kind of packaging Amazon gives. The hardboard case, the thermocols and multiple levels of bubble wrapping around the products, makes it absolutely next to impossible for the package to get damaged in anyway on its own, unless you run a road-roller over it. I ordered for this particular kit, just because I wanted to try all of these stuffs, without having to spend a fortune on any. The package contains following products. I am mentioning the name along with the quantities here:
