Estee Lauder's Extravagant Christmas Collection

Tom Pecheux is quite possibly the best thing to happen to Estee Lauder. His pure colour collections are strong, modern and outstanding.

Following on from the Blue Dahlia collection, Estee Lauder now present their dazzling Christmas collection which is just as gorgeous. The collection features 2 palettes - a lip and and an eye palette, 2 lipsticks, 2 lipglosses that compliment the lipstick, 2 nail polishes and a mascara.

Reds, berries and golds feature strongly which is especially fitting for the Christmas season. It perfectly mixes brights with neutrals which gives the ideal palette for creating both subtle and dramatic looks with only a few products.

So, you wanna see?

I was kindly gifted these products for review purposes and hope to do some fotd posts soon using them as it really is a wonderful winter collection.

The first of the 2 palettes is the eye palette 'Extravagant Gold'. There are 5 shades of golds, champagne and browns. Great for a smokey eye or an everyday neutral.
Next is the lip palette with one true red lip colour surrounded by 4 sheer glosses that compliment the red in gold, champagne, berry and an utterly gorgeous coral.
The 2 lip colours are absolutely gorgeous, covered in a gorgeous gold glitter which doesn't transfer onto lips (i almost wish it did). The 2 shades available are Extravagant Ruby and Extravagant Berry. Extravagant Berry is my absolute favourite, it is the perfect balance between goth and glamorous and will definitely be my winter lipstick of choice.

Extravagant Berry

After searching for months for a perfect berry, it lands on my lap out of the blue. Berry lovers, you will definitely want to get your hands on this.

Extravagant Ruby

To compliment the lipstick we have 2 beautiful glosses in star ruby and extravagant plum. I wore star ruby on it's own today and I loved it. A lovely sheer pinky red on it's own, I imagine it will top up Extravagant Ruby lipstick wonderfully.

Finally, I was given one of the nail polishes - 'Extravagant Night'. A glitter infused purple berry shade. What I like about this is that instead of being a gold shimmer, it is actually an infusion of silver sparkle throughout ... like little sparkling stars in a winter nights sky.
I really like this collection, it's sophisticated and modern and gives us just the right mount of sparkle needed for a Christmas promotion. The colours are so versatile that I will be packing them in my suitcase for my winter sun holiday. The gold neutral eye palette and coral in the lip palette will adjust well to lazy days on the beach as much as it fits perfectly into a backdrop of a winter wonderland.

What products do you think are a must from this collection?

Will they make it onto your Christmas list?
