Spring 2011 Collections

I am going to focus in on just 2 of the Estee Lauder brands so I can thoroughly discuss their Spring 2011 collections.  Similar to clothing brands, cosmetic brands introduce new color trend collections most every season.  They are not normally as extensive as what some of the most well-known designers runway collections might be.  They normally contain anywhere from 5 to 20 new colors, products, formulas, etc...
The first collection I am going to show you is the Spring 2011 Estee Lauder color collection.











The trend includes a gorgeous picture of Liu Wen who is one of the new faces of the Estee Lauder brand.  The first photo is of the advertisment that is on the counter displays.  She is seen wearing many of the colors that are represented.  Also, the Spring 2011 collection contained a new fragrance called Aromatics Elxir which is a fresh, floral scent that goes great with all of the other items in the collection.  The collection includes single shadows in several colors, a five-pan shadow compact in one color option, lipticks, lipglosses,  an eye line, a mascara and a nail polish, most of which are limited edition.  The main color theme was obviously viloets which have a reputation of looking beautiful on every woman.

They next collection I am going to share with you is Clinique's Spring 2011 trend.










Like I told you guys before, I currently work for Clinique.  My first season at the counter was when this collection came out.  I was so excited because I have always been a fan of Milly, and I thought it was great that we were going to collaborate with the Milly brand. Milly has a sense of preppiness mixed with a beachy flair. This collection consisted of a compact that had 4 limited edition eye shadow colors in pinks, browns and golds, and it also included a bright peachy-pink blush.  The compact had a flower pattern on the case and it also came with a special Milly bag that can be seen in the second to last picture.  There was also a lipgloss that was names "Milly Pink" that was limited edition as well.  This collection was incredibly successful and sold out almost immediatly.  The last picture shows what the actual collection looked like set up on the counter.
