The Face of Fall: Estee Lauder
This week's Face of Fall focuses on Estee Lauder "Mythical Beauty", their color line for Fall 2006. The colors in this line aren't as dramatic as some of the other looks we've seen this season, but the rich colors and illuminators give a glowy, rich look that fits right in with the chocolates and plums that are popular right now.

Platinum Illuminator
All-Over Powder
Want to know Estee Lauder's secret to beautiful, glowing skin? This illuminator is the key to their Mythical Beauty look for Fall 2006. This is one of the limited edition items in the Fall collection, so if this is something you can't wait to try, visit your local department store to get some before they run out! Toya will be reviewing this item in upcoming weeks, so check back to see the DeLush Review.
Retail Price: $40.00
Pure Color
EyeShadow
Even if you're not trying to achieve the Mythical Beauty look, you might want to add these pigment dense eyeshadows to your beauty shopping list for fall. The Mythical Beauty shades are Smokey, Berry Ice and Onyx, but be sure to visit the Estee Lauder counter near you for other pretty shades. Toya, Jamie and I will be reviewing these on Friday, so be sure to drop by to get the downlow on these hot eyeshadows!
Retail Price: $17.50
Pure Color Crystal
Gloss
If you're a fan of glosses like me (who isn't?), Estee Lauder has added some new colors to their glosses for Fall to coordinate with the Mythical Beauty look. The colors, White Chocolate, Platinum Rose, and Plum Wine can be used by themselves or overtop the coordinating lipstick shades for more intense color. These glosses will be reviewed during Fall Is Fabulous in upcoming weeks.
Retail Price: $20.00
Pure Color Lipstick
And speaking of coordinating lipsticks, Estee Lauder has expanded the color range of their award-winning lipsticks for Fall 2006. The new shade in their Pure Color Crystal Lipstick is Berry Truffle. They've added two new shades to their Long Lasting Lipstick, Fig and Platinum Rose.
Retail Price: $22.00
Graphic Color
EyeShadow Quad
What better colors to go with your Mythical Beauty look than a collection of Vintage Violet shades, perfect to coordinate with the lilacs and plums of the season? If you're picking up the gloss in Plum Wine, be sure to pick up this quad of coordinating shades!
Retail Price: $37.00
Pure Color
EyeLiner
Estee Lauder is recommending this eyeliner in black to coordinate with the other items in the Mythical Beauty look, but after seeing this eyeliner in blue, I am more excited about trying out the dramatic blue eye look that Melissa highlighted last Friday.
Retail Price: $22.50
Pure Color
Nail Lacquer
The new shades of the nail lacquer, Plum Cassis and Platinum Twilight, are a perfect way to round out the collection, and provide a nice contrast to the bright colors and blacks that we've seen in other places this season. The Plum, in particular, looks like the perfect coordinating shade to the other items in the Mythical Beauty Collection. Melissa will be reviewing the lacquer in Platinum Twilight later this month during Fall Is Fabulous.
Retail Price: $18.00
