Tell me the Pure Color Night Collection by Estee Lauder doesn’t look positively stunning!

Well, I regret to inform you that this limited-edition collection–inspired by Paris at night–is only available in a few areas of the world.  If you’re lucky enough to live in Paris, London, or New York, hopefully you can manage to get your hands on this makeup!

The collection is housed in special blackened-blue packaging, and contains the following products:

Pure Color Ombre Effect EyeShadow in Naughty Black creates a smokey eye with smoldering impact. Featuring a textured trio of matte, shimmer and sparkle, these dramatic black/ brown shades can be used alone or together. $20.00

Pure Color Luminous Powder is an incredibly refined and lightweight powder with a luxurious creamy texture. The Highlight shade adds a sensual glow to skin making it look young, healthy and dewy. $40.00

Pure Color Lip Gelée in Kiss Me saturates lips with a nude rose tint, giving the mouth a just-bitten wet look. Water-like high shine polymers amplify the glass like finish, ensuring a coveted seductive pout. $20.00

The collection can be found in May 2010 in Paris at Bon Marché Rive Gauche, Galeries Lafayette Haussmann and Printemps Haussmann. Limited quantities will be available in New York at Bergdorf Goodman and in London at Selfridges Oxford Street.

In June 2010, Bergdorf Goodman in NYC will also have limited availability.

Best of luck to you, makeup addicts!

Based on this image of the Essie Summer 2010 Collection, I have some shopping to do!  The shade “pretty edgy” is definitely something I wouldn’t ordinarily wear… and yet it’s the shade I want most! 

Here’s what the founder–Essie Weingarten–has to say about the Summer 2010 color palette:

“This year’s runways reflected the ease of the season with youthful, upbeat clothing in feminine fabrics,” explains Essie Weingarten, President and Founder of Essie Cosmetics, Ltd. “I was inspired by the vivid pastels at Versace and the splashy florals at DKNY. I created this collection to reflect the youthful, fun-to-wear flirty frocks.”

The Essie Summer 2010 Collection of shades will be available in June 2010.  Retail price is $8 per bottle.

All Essie nail polish is 3-free (no DBP, Toluene or Formaldehyde!)
