Something I've never mentioned on Raging Rouge is that I am actually obsessed with more that just makeup. In fact, I am currently way too interested in monitoring this train-wreck of an economy, and the stock market in particular.
Interestingly, knowing a thing or two about the market can actually tip you off on trends in fashion and makeup. I've been watching the price of gold tick higher and ever-higher, and realized that since scarcity=status, Gold is going to be smokin' hot this season.
Personally, trends be damned, I've always preferred gold over platinum. There's something timeless and treasured about the yellow metal, so I was thrilled to see Estee Lauder embrace the trend, with their new color collection for Fall 2009, Sensuous Gold.
