Pink Ribbon Campaigns 2008 – Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Clinique

Paris B 2 Comments

I don’t remember there being much buzz in Malaysia about the Pink Ribbon campaigns this year. It might be because of the present Eid Mubarak/ Eidul Fitr/ Hari Raya Aidil Fitri festive period that is on-going. We got a holiday for 2 days which is very nice 🙂

Anyway I unearthed another 3 special Pink Ribbon promotional offers by Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder and Clinique. Estee Lauder has been doing Pink Ribbon campaigns for a few years now as I recall and I’m sure most of the companies under their umbrella will have specials too. Here’s what I found.

Bobbi Brown Pink Ribbon 2008

Bobbi Brown Pink Ribbon 2008

Pink Quartz Glitter Lip Gloss and Tulle Lip Color lipstick set. Pair it with Tulle Lip Liner which comes with a sharpener. Pink lip items from Bobbi Brown’s stable from which a portion of proceeds will be donated towards the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon 2008

Estee Lauder Pink Ribbon 2008

Estee Lauder’s offering is a Limited Edition trio of 3 pink lip colours:-

  • Pure Color Bali Rose (Limited Edition)
  • Pure Color Candy
  • Signature Hydra Lustre Rich Berry
  • Pink zippered case

There is also an Elizabeth Hurley Lip Color Collection of 3 pink lip glosses:-

  • High Gloss in Pink (limited edition)
  • High Gloss in Rose
  • High Gloss in Pearl
  • Pink Zippered case

And the one item Estee Lauder has every year, the Jeweled Pink Ribbon pin set with twinkling crystals and is a collectible.

Clinique Pink Ribbon 2008

Clinique Pink Ribbon 2008

Clinique this year too is doing something pink for the lips. I remember when they did that lovely Shimmering Tones blush in Pink tones a few years back. I wanted it so badly and we never got it! I later saw it in Hong Kong but decided then not to get it because it was very light. But that’s another story 🙂

Clinique’s offering of a Butter Shine lipstick in Ribbon Pink (limited edition) comes with a silvery case. Costing US$16.50 a whopping US$10 is being donated to breast cancer research!

There are a few other brands doing the Pink Ribbon campaign but they aren’t available here at this time – Smashbox, DuWop and Too Faced are a couple more.

I’m not sure if the Pink Ribbon collections by Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder and Clinique will be available here but if they are, it would be great! It would be quite meaningless if we get them only after October right?

Estee Lauder New Signature Blush – powder and cream

Paris B 9 Comments

I don’t pay much attention to Estee Lauder as I keep saying, but ever since the Chocolate Decadence collection, Estee Lauder has reignited my interest in the brand. That and their new more elegant, more luxurious looking packaging.

Estee Lauder Blush

I saw on the official Estee Lauder website that they have launched a new Signature blush in powder and cream.

For a moment, I wondered what was new about it. Didn’t Estee Lauder always have blushes in their lineup?Continue Reading

Estee Lauder Chocolate Decadence Fall 2008

I happened to pass by an Estee Lauder and Lancome counter yesterday so I decided to stop and ask about the new vibrating mascara available in both brands. Needless to say, I got blank stares and was promoted some new non-vibrating mascaras. Sigh…

But all was not lost because it was the launch of the new Chocolate Decadence collection by Estee Lauder for Fall 2008! I’d been watching out for this one mostly because of the packaging.

Estee Lauder Fall 2008

The Estee Lauder counter at Isetan KLCC has it all and it was looking good. I’d say though that in line with the chocolate theme, everything is a little too brown and too warm for my liking. That said, I could not resist testing out the eyeshadows and the shimmer powder!

I swatched the colours and wanted a photo but got sucked into having the eyeshadows tested on me and the colours were wiped off later. Boo… I’ll explain why in a minute. Continue Reading

Vibrating Mascara Wands – What’s next?

Paris B 13 Comments

If you are like me and spend the longest time putting on mascara, fearing to get poked in the eye by the mascara wand, or fearing having mascara smeared over your lid, would you use a vibrating mascara wand?

Well, the folks at Lancome and Estee Lauder certainly think so!

Vibrating Mascara

Lancome has come up with an Oscillation Mascara (US$34) which at a press of a button, vibrates to coat your lashes up to 360° . Continue Reading
