Estee Lauder's Holiday 2008 collection, Vintage Jewels, is a complement to the season's luxurious fabrics and "completes the impression of aristocratic elegance," with "smoky eyes composed of the unexpected combination of almost blacks and modern brights are complemented by glowing cheeks and warm ruby lips." Don't you just love that description? Snooty glamour! LOVE!
