I have two of these polishes, in ‘Love Bite’ and ‘Beautiful Liar’. I have allllllllllllways loved Estee Lauder’s nail polishes, because of how beautiful the look on – and how easily they’re applied. I’ve always said the brush is key –  in both nail polishes AND mascara, and the brush on these polishes are amazing. They look beautiful and festive, and I’m wearing it right now!! Loooove!

The Estée Lauder brand today announced that it has signed Arizona Muse, one of fashion’s brightest stars, as a new face of Estée Lauder for skincare, makeup and fragrance. Arizona is the latest model to join Estée Lauder’s roster of global beauties which includes Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy, Hilary Rhoda, Constance Jablonski, Liu Wen and Joan Smalls.

“Arizona is an incredible modern beauty who will help us continue to elevate the style and aspiration of the Estée Lauder brand,” said Richard Ferretti, Senior Vice President and Creative Director, Estée Lauder. “Her rise to the top of the fashion world in such a short time proves she has the look, poise and personality to resonate with women around the world, in imagery as well as in person.”

“Arizona has quickly become one of fashion’s most recognized faces, on the runway, in magazines and in fashion campaigns,” said Aerin Lauder, Style and Image Director, Estée Lauder. “She has the timeless elegance that will make her a fashion and beauty icon of her generation. I am thrilled to welcome Arizona into the Estée Lauder family.”

Arizona’s rise in the fashion world has been nothing short of explosive. Her ascent to the top of her profession has included extraordinary images created with some of the industry’s most influential fashion photographers such as Steven Meisel, Patrick Demarchelier, and Paolo Roversi within 12 months of her debut runway appearance. She quickly landed the most high profile fashion campaigns and worked with every influential fashion brand and magazine in the world.

Arizona was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1988 and was named after her birth state – Arizona. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with her son Nikko.

So excited for this new line, I am a huge fan of Mad Men and think this new collection is beautiful. Love the colors and the retro styling of the packaging. 

The Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection is a new limited edition makeup collection inspired by the award winning drama, Mad Men. Estee Lauder partners with Mad Men and will introduce two new limited edition makeup collections that will debut in March just in time for the Season Five premiere. The second makeup collection will coincide with the 2013 Season Six premiere.

The NEW collection features two classic makeup items inspired by the look of the women featured in Mad Men’s ® 1960’s New York City setting. Bold, red lips and creamy, rouged cheeks define this iconic moment in time:

- Estée Lauder Mad Men® Collection Lipstick in Cherry features a cream satin finish and continual moisture delivered to lips for smooth, rich color.

- Estée Lauder Mad Men® Collection Creme Rouge in Evening Rose is an easily blendable and buildable formula that highlights cheeks with a dewy, smooth and natural finish.

 - Estée Lauder Mad Men® Collection Lipstick and Estée Lauder Mad Men® Collection Creme Rouge are packaged in a fluted golden case placed in a leather-like gold pouch, and the outer cartons are a custom design inspired by the Estée Lauder packaging from the 1960’s.

Available for a limited time beginning March 2012 exclusively at Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide, www.bloomingdales.com and www.esteelauder.com.
