I showed you pictures of 2 items from the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess collection that I coveted way back in February 2010. February! Where has all the time gone?
So now that its the end of May and the Bronze Goddess collection is out at Estee Lauder counters, I went to take a peep. My heart was set on the Exotic Bronzing Blush before I got there.
Its a HUGE pan of blush and its very pretty in person and retails at just RM110 so its a great deal. Only thing is that its seriously limited edition. At Isetan The Gardens last night, there were only 3 left. I swiped, it, played with it and hmm-ed and haw-ed over it for an agonizingly long time. To her credit the SA was super nice, did not push me nor did she shoot me dagger looks – go look for Florence. She’s super sweet too.
In the end I did not get the blush – let my swatch show you why below.
The Estee Lauder Exotic Bronzing Blush swipes very similar to NARS Orgasm – a blush I already own (and hardly use). It is quite sheer so I had to layer it to get the colour you see in the picture. But ultimately, it applies pretty much like many other pink-peach blushes out there. Money saved! Whew! This also makes it another NARS Orgasm dupe.
But I did walk away from the Estee Lauder counter with something from the Bronze Collection 😛
