While I never paid much attention to Givenchy, I used to look at lot at Estee Lauder – the skincare. The makeup bored me because I felt they looked too “old”. Ah! But then I age and Estee Lauder doesn’t \ud83d\ude1b And suddenly, with the new Fuschia Now Spring 2009 collection, <\/strong>Estee Lauder looks interesting again!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I blame Karen<\/a> (in a nice way of course) for making me look twice at Estee Lauder’s Spring 2009 collection. I don’t usually wear pinks and purples on the eyes for fear of looking abused, but the new Estee Lauder eyeshadows are really quite something and now, I suddenly want to check them out.<\/p>\n Today, I stopped by the Estee Lauder counter to take a look and hurrah! The Fuschia Now collection is available! So of course I had to play with them and pick up some swatches for your viewing pleasure \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Over here, although the name of the Spring 2009 collection is Fuschia Now, there are 2 sets of Eyeshadow Duos (RM85 each) <\/strong>and matching lipsticks, lipglosses and cream blushes. The sets are divided into warm and cool colours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Fuschia collection appears to be the cooler coloured set and that was the one I was eyeing. The eyeshadow duo (RM85) has a cute flower print on it and the duo is Indigo <\/strong>– a very light pink and dark purple-grey. I loved the combination and would have bought it if it was just a little more shimmery. Unfortunately, it tends to be on the matte side especially the purple, so I regretfully had to pass. Here are some swatches on my hand.<\/p>\n The Aubergine Duo <\/strong>is the cooler eyeshadow duo and although it looks beige and purple in the pan, it swatches beige and brown. In fact you can barely see the beige. I felt it was too flat and blah. Such a pity! Both eye duos were so pretty!<\/p>\n I loved the Signature Lustre Lipstick in 51 <\/strong>– the rosier colour. I cannot be sure but this might be the Rich Berry <\/strong>of the collection. It went on smooth and had no discernable fragrance. The packaging too looks sleek. If I were to get one item from this collection, it might be this lipstick! I’ve always been a fan of Estee Lauder Pure Color lipsticks. The colours aren’t exciting and the fig smell gets to some people but I like the smooth non drying texture and opaque colour. I haven’t tried the Signature Lustre line so this might be a good chance to.<\/p>\n
