Inspired by the ease and sensuality of the season’s fashions, Estée Lauder has created Sensuous Gold – a uniquely feminine, luxurious new color collection for fall 2009.

Like the dramatic impact of a well appointed piece of jewelry, Estée Lauder’s NEW, Limited Edition Gilded Rose Marbleized Shimmer Powder is a luxurious handcrafted, marbleized domed face powder of illuminating rose gold tones that shimmer like precious minerals. Inspired by Italian marble crafts and artistry, the mineralized powder provides a dimensional, yet natural shimmer in a perfectly sheer wash of luminous color. Plus, the powder’s unique, shimmering formula is comfortable to wear, thanks to a sophisticated baked powder technology that gives the powder an incredibly creamy feel on the skin. Silky, smooth and luminous, the powder is appropriate for all skintones and comes encased in a luxurious rose golden boudoir powder box with a specially designed half moon brush for the perfect application.

Create a decidedly feminine and romantic eye look this fall with soft, silky gold tones complemented by beautifully rich plum shades. Estee Lauder’s NEW, Limited Edition Signature Eyeshadow Quads in new, limited palettes of Rose Gold and Rose Amethyst feature a unique hammered gold texture and have been sprayed with a multi-dimensional pearl for a luxurious “crystallized” effect that delivers luxurious buildable color to eyes. Whether it is a soft, subtle look or more dramatic effect you wish to achieve, the Signature Eyeshadow Quads make it easy, enabling you to mix, match and blend each of the four eyeshadow tablets to expertly create the look you want. Packaged in a specially designed signature compact that has been dressed in rose golden for an ultra-luxe look and feel, the Signature Eyeshadow Quads makes precision application a breeze with its coordinating dual ended applicators.

For additional allure, line eyes with the Double Wear Eye Pencil in luxurious shades of Bronze and Black Plum and complete the eye look with Sumptuous Mascara in Black for sumptuously full volume, expertly defined lashes.

Complete the Sensuous Gold look with nails perfectly polished in NEW, Limited Edition shades of Rose Gold and Black Amethyst, and leave a lasting impression with Sensuous, a warm, inviting, woody amber fragrance that captures the many facets that make today’s woman so
complex and fascinating.

Estée Lauder Sensuous Gold Collection is currently available online at EsteeLauder.com.

Essie has some fun new colors for fall and they’re available now. This week I’m wearing Chinchilly, a pale gray, but I haven’t yet gotten around to snapping a pic.

I like every single nail polish color in this collection, especially Angora Cardi.

Essie Fall 2009 Collection is available now at essie.com.

“Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin,” says Bobbi Brown.

Fall’s must-have eye palette takes you effortlessly from day to night with a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of nude shadows in three different textures: soft matte, lightly pearlized, and metallic high-shimmer. Three eye shadow duos come in a customizable 3 Pan Palette, which can also be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown eye shadow or blush shades.

The Bobbi Brown Nude Eye Palette is part of the Fall 2009 Nudes Collection currently available at Bobbi Brown counters nationwide. Makeup Bag intern Monica got her hands on this palette and here’s what she has to say:

“I’m in love! Honestly, few things have made me as instantly happy as the mere sight of this palette – I practically want to sleep with it under my pillow! The shades aren’t the typical beiges, taupes and and creams you’d expect to find in a “nude” palette, but a gorgeous selection of neutral shades ranging from light to dark. The shimmer, matte and metallic shades never skew too cool or too warm, so they work together beautifully to create a plethora of neutral eye looks. The texture and color payoff are superb, and the compact is refillable when you (gasp!) hit the pan.”
