Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection

Cherry

Evening Rose

I haven't been posting much of late.  I have been suffering from an illness (that has now been compounded by personal upsets) and it is draining me of my motivation and the medications that are meant to help me through my illness leave me incapable of doing little else but drag my butt into work and/or sleep for 15 hours straight (Honestly, I'm not getting why people think this oxycodone stuff is so great). But I'm trying, so I just had to post about 2 things that still give me some kind of good feelings.  Estee Lauder cosmetics and Mad Men, or more specifically, The Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection.  

For the Betty Draper in YOU!

That phrase alone got my attention but I was kind of disappointed to see the collection consists of only two pieces:  A very pretty lipstick and a cream blush that someone my age can't get away with using (mix creme blush and foundation and it results in mud on my face) and nothing else...no nail polish.  I was just about to break my "no using your credit card for online purchases" rule since it looks like it will only be available at U.S retailer Bloomingdales but Estee Lauder helped to keep my wallet in my pocket with the collections very limited range of items.  Bummer...

Kennedy by Zoya

This one's my second purchase from Zoya's Touch line and now that I think about it,  sort of wish that I'd sprung the cash for the entire line.  There's just something about a simple neutral creme polish that I just love.  sure, it's not edgy or hip bit it's being a long time since I cared about that sort of thing!  the formula and the application were very good.  The coverage was even in two coats, applied smoothly and evenly, and dried fairly quickly as well.  If you don't already own a light beige creme polish then Kennedy would be a good choice.  

Kennedy, I wonder what was the inspiration for the name choice?  When I hear that name I usually think about this...

Beauty & Talent!

Which usually makes me think of this...

Bom Chicka Wow Wow!

Which then makes me think of this...

Which One Are You?  Jackie or Marilyn?

Which makes me think why would you want to be either one if you could be a Joannie?

Can't Wait for March 25th!!!
