Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection and then learn all about #Draping!

Introducing the first of  the two limited edition makeup collections coming your way from Estée Lauder which 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 - $25 - features a cream satin finish and continual moisture delivered to lips for smooth, rich color. Packaged in a fluted golden case in a leather-like gold pouch.
 
Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection Creme Rouge in Evening Rose - $40 is an easily blendable and buildable formula that highlights cheeks with a dewy, smooth and natural finish. Housed in a fluted golden compact and leather-like pouch. The inner rim of the compact features an embossed stamp signifying the name of the limited edition collection – Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection. 
(Prices are in US $)

The outer carton for the collection is a custom design inspired by Estée Lauder packaging from the 1960’s.

The Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection will be available for a limited time beginning March 2012 exclusively on www.esteelauder.com which will ship to Canada customers, and at Bloomingdale’s and www.bloomingdales.com.



Keep your eyes peeled for the second collection which launches with Season Six in 2013.

I think Mad Men is one of the best shows on tv - the drinking, the glamour and of course the clothes! So how tickled am I that Banana Republic has come out with a whole Mad Men inspired collection!

I do wish that they had used a curvier model as their "Joan" - the fact that she is a real women with curves is a big inspiration to me and I expect a lot of other women too!

Begonia Print Dress - $185

Mad Men - The Illustrated World

Mad Men: The Illustrated world by Dyna Moe - Perigee Trade Paperback Original - $15 -ISBN: 978-0-399-53657-1.

What a fabulous gift for the avid Mad Men fan!  With everything from office culture, decorating, beauty tips and lots and lots of cocktail recipes - all cleverly illustrated in the artistic styles that defined 1960s advertising!

The topic tie-ins to various events from the show are hilarious (how to handle an accidental leg amputation), the colours are vibrant and the illustrations of the characters spot on! 

My favourite part of the book is the Joan paper doll complete with a multitude of outfits!

I have a few people in mind for this book for holiday giving, combined with a flask or a set of martini glasses, I think this gift will be a star!
