If I were forced at gunpoint to choose one beauty brand that simply gets “it” and nails beauty trends months before they fully evolve, it would have to be Estee Lauder. Case in point is the Ultimate Red Holiday Color Collection. Makeup lovers mark my words… if you don’t own rich reds for your lips and glittering golds for just about everywhere else, you are totally missing the boat.
The entire limited-edition holiday collection contains:
Rich warm berries, dark chestnuts and a blacker-than-Christmas-stocking-coal gel eyeliner (the gel eyeliner is a rich, smudgy formula… I am hooked. Others apparently are too, as the product is sold out online!)
New, Limited Edition Signature Eyeshadow Quad in Lavish Plum $35.00
New, Limited Edition Signature Lipstick in Cranberry $19.50
New, Limited Edition Signature Lipstick in Blackberry $19.50
New, Limited Edition Opulent Shimmer Gloss in Cranberry $18.00
New, Limited Edition Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Burgundy $18.00
In-your-face reds, deep almost-black navy, and… need I say, gold, Gold, GOLD!
New, Limited Edition Signature Eyeshadow Quad in Gold Opulence $35.00
New, Limited Edition Signature Lipstick in Gold $19.50
New, Limited Edition Signature Lipstick in Simply Red $19.50
New, Limited Edition Opulent Shimmer Gloss in Gold $18.00
New, Limited Edition Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Gold $18.00
Estee Lauder leverages their TurboLash Mascara technology with this holiday red packaging, and shimmery golden hue! I’ve always loved mascaras of varying colors, but must admit that using gold mascara is a new experience! Used stand-alone, it’s a subtle shimmer. Layer atop your favorite shade and this adds razzle dazzle.
New, Limited Edition TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara in Gold $32.00
The coup de grace of the Ultimate Red Collor collection is the limited-edition Opulent Shimmer Powder. Housed in the glossiest golden compact of the season, this powder imparts a warm, shimmery glow.
New, Limited Edition Opulent Shimmer Powder $32.00
