Estée Lauder Launches 'Mad Men' Collection

Fans of AMC's hit show, "Mad Men," may not get the chance to try out the Belle Jolie lipsticks featured prominently in some of the earliest episodes, but they can thank Estée Lauder for giving them the next best thing.

The beauty giant has paired up with show creator Michael Weiner to create a limited-edition makeup collection. The Mad Men Collection will consist of Crème Rouge in Evening Rose, a beautiful medium-pink blush, and Signature Lipstick in Cherry, a classic cherry-red lipstick.

The cosmetics company has drawn inspiration from the sixties for the packaging and the products themselves, taking special care to turn them into items that any woman would be proud to draw from her purse. The compact and lipstick tube are both gilded, and they come in boxes with elegant turquoise and gold floral designs.

The ad campaign will launch on the Bloomingdale's and Estée Lauder websites next month, where the products will be exclusively available for purchase. The collection's debut corresponds with the beginning of the show's fifth season, and another makeup line is already in the works for the sixth.

Following the show's previous successes, with apparel for Banana Republic and nail polish for Nailtini, it will come as no surprise if the Estée Lauder limited-edition collection becomes a mad sensation.

Fresh As a Daisy: Marc Jacobs Rollerball Trio Set

Every lovely lady out there can agree that we are all sometimes in need of a midday fragrance refreshment, but carrying a giant perfume bottle in your purse just isn't practical. 

The rollerball revolution got it's start with Estée Lauder's signature fragrance set, and then other designers and fragrances slowly started to take note of the convenience these puppies yield for their customers. Fast forward to 2011, and we now have Marc Jacobs on the go and handy at all times in our purses and clutches. The best part? You have three signature scents to choose from: Daisy, Daisy Eau So Fresh, and Lola. 

Super cute and ultra femme, the set contains three 0.34 ounce rollerball bottles that a total must for your lust list. You can pick your trio up at Sephora, in-store or online, for $104.

Carolyn Murphy: Best Friend and Muse

Carolyn Murphy amazes me. She has been around since I started obsessing over fashion magazines when I was in Junior High. Eight years have gone by and she is even more beautiful now than she was then.

She almost always appears in the first few pages of a magazine.

Murphy's been modeling for top names such as Estee Lauder, Jantzen, and Versace.

She is a muse. She's a natural. No matter how much or how little makeup is on her, she looks remarkable. Carolyn Murphy isn't perfect, and that is what makes her stand out. Her face is not symmetrical and she is not stick thin. She has broken the rules of the model stereotype. Murphy could be your best friend, the girl next door, just one of the guys, and the most beautiful girl in the room all wrapped into one. She is the ultimate package.

She may not be everywhere, like Caroline Trentini and Raquel Zimmerman, but she is an exquisite model. Carolyn Murphy is the kind of model you get excited to see because you do not see her on every other page. It is a treat to see her.
