Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess for Summer 2011 Overview with Swatches

Hello Estee Lauder! This is the featured product for this week! Ahhh! I am so excited! This post will serve as the overview with swatches of the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Collection for Summer 2011. I absolutely love this collection!!! I think so many of the colors are gorgeous for summer and they would look good on people of all different skin tones and types. I especially love the eyeshadow palette which I think is a really good deal at $42 for six highly pigmented eyeshadows!

This collection is really big, so if you want details on other items in the collection or pricing, please visit the Preview page on this collection. I wanted to keep this post all about the product swatches and comparisons. I will be featuring this collection as the product of the week this week and holding off on the Mac Six Warm Smokey Eye Palette for the moment. I am worried the Estee Lauder Bronze Collection is going to sell out, so I decided to move this collection up ahead of the Mac Packed To Go collections.

I hope you all enjoy!

The 6 Warm Smokey Eye Palette includes the following shades:

I am really excited to play with these palettes. I have a few of the colors in each palette already, but it's going to be fun to try out the new shades and combine them all together. I think each palette is a great value for your money and includes some of my all time favorite shades and staples in my collection: Mac Show Stopper, Mac Carbon, Mac Naked Lunch, and Mac Shroom). No matter who you are, these colors should in your collection and if you don't own them, now's the time to bring these babies home! :)

Product of the Week: The Balm Shady Lady Volume 3 Overview with Swatches

The featured product for this week is The Balm's Shady Lady Volume 3. This palette includes a wide variety of shadows that are creamy, easy to apply and absolutely gorgeous on the skin. I said it in the video and I'll say it again, if you're going to buy any palette this seasons, I'd suggest this one. The Balm Shady Lady Volume 3 is $39.50 and available at Sephora and Sephora.com. All the colors are shimmer shades, but that doesn't limit the versatility of this palette. The Balm really got it right with this palette. It includes bright fun shades like Open to Offers Olwen (a bright teal-green) and more neutral shades like Come-Hither Heather (smokey taupe). Thus, this palette appeals to both those who love color and those looking for a palette with some maturity and wear-ability. When I sat down to do the first tutorial from this palette I was so overwhelmed with the color choices. I like the feeling of having an unlimited amount of color and creativity at my finger tips. This palette really offers a lot of bang for it's buck and is one of the best made palettes I have seen in a long time. It has impressed me from the moment I swatched it.
