I really like the Estee Lauder Spring 2012 makeup collection which is called Topaz. This collection was inspired by Arizona and was created was Tom Pecheux.

As you can see, it’s all about the sand and aqua  shades. Looks like a more subtle variant of the summer collection. But I will always like a combo of a good gold/turquoise.

The good news is that if you’ve somehow missed the gelee palette from the Autumn collection, you can get a similar one now!

 This collection includes:

Pure Color Five Color EyeShadow Palette Topaz Mosaic, €48

Pure Color Intense Kajal Eye Crayon, €21.60

• Dramatic Black
• Dramatic Teal

Sumptuous Extreme Mascara, €28.70

Pure Color

I just have to share about the new Estee Lauder  collection for eyes because the promo image is simply stunning!

This collection is all about the eyes and there will be new eye shadows, eye liners and mascaras.

Pure Color Cyber Eyes eye shadows

There will be six eye shadows with a  very interesting texture created by a technology called Prisma Shine which combines wet, gel and dry pigments.

I am intrigued, I wonder if that is similar to the highlighter from a Fall collection?

There will be four LE shades and two permanent – Blackened Black  and

A lot of Fall 2011 collections will be out in  the mid July and since it’s June already we have around 1.5 months. So I think it’s a perfect time to see the new collections and plan on what you are getting since it’s the time of the vacations and you’d probably need money for that first of all.

So anyway, here is the Estee Lauder Fall 2011 makeup collection created by Tom Pecheux and called The Pure Color Mercury.

Collection includes:

The star product is the Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée. I have to include the full description of the product here because it sounds really interesting:

” A new “tribrid” system of liquid, powder and gel revolutionizes makeup application and wear. This first-of-a-kind, “multi-powder” formula creates a theatrical blur of shimmer on the skin when applied dry and a fierce flush of color when applied wet. The unique suspension of golden pigments and pearls float on top of the skin, resulting in a truly unique sensorial experience for skin. The futuristic powder is flexible and uses a luminosity boosting complex that makes the complexion appear perfectly smooth, sexy and glowing with a polished finish.”

My personal favourite product from this collection is this Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Metallic Sage. It looks gorgeous on the promo!

In my Spring magazine I covered the hottest makeup trends for SS 2011 from the Runway. You could see that colourful liners are hot for this summer. I’ve also included the makeup from Derek Lam show which was created by Tom Pecheux, Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director,  which you can see on pages 55 and 56.

And now the Orange Crush this mini collection was inspired by the look that I’ve mentioned.

This collection includes only three products but in my opinion they all look amazing and would work totally hot for this summer.

Pure Color Gloss in Orange Crush, £15.50/$20

This is such a bright and vivid orange colour, definitely for those who want to make a statement with their look.

“Updating your look can be as simple as adding coral gloss over your favorite lipstick shade. Mixing makes it modern.” -Tom Pecheux

Yesterday I was doing a makeup for a St. Patrick’s Party so I was going through my green eye shadows looking for the colours that I may use. So I thought I’d share those that I really like.

This is not a review post as it would take me forever to review each eye shadow but most of the shadows I already reviewed in the past.
