04 CRYSTAL BABY ESTEE LAUDER PURE COLOR ILLUMINATING POWDER GELEE - SWATCHES AND REVIEW

The latest "Must Have" product of the moment is the Estee Lauder Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelée in Crystal Baby. It is a warm shimmery pale pink highlighter that is a powder, gel and liquid all in one. This long-lasting and unique "triblend powder" illuminates the skin with a silky finish. Crystal Baby currently retails for $40.00 USD and it contains .21 oz of product.

I first saw Crystal Baby on the Nordstrom website where it was described as a high-shine blush. Meh, I thought I would pass because I already have way too many illuminating / highlighting powders in my collection that don't get used nearly as much as they should. Then I saw swatches from Danielle on her blog Bloomin Beauty Blog and she convinced me that I needed this. Thank you for your recommendation because that girl knows what she is talking about. This gorgeous highlight powder wears beautifully and didn't enhance the pores or any imperfections. Wear time was a solid eight hours which is perfect for a highlighter and by that time it didn't look brassy or overly shiny. It was just a nice soft warm glow to the face. I tell ya what, I am seriously impressed!

I first heard about this polish on Twitter from a user named Vanessa. She has a wonderful sense of style and is always spot-on with the latest trends or fashion favs. You can definitely count her as a Fashionista who knows what the next "must have" item is going to be! Her Twitter name is: @Vaneluvs2shop and you should definitely follow her!

I bought this polish at the Belk Department store located in the SouthPark Mall, in Charlotte, NC. Normally I would go to my local Belk at the Northlake Mall by my house but this collection was only available at the larger retail department stores. So I called ahead to make sure that it was still available and I was lucky enough to snag a bottle of this polish.
When I first saw this color it reminded me of a Liz Claiborne purse that I had when I was younger. I loved that bag! It was the same metallic green shade as this polish and I carried that bag everywhere! So I was definitely excited to get my hands on this polish. Not only because it brought back so many fond memories from my past, but also it is an excellent nail polish color for the Fall. The mini micro flecks of gold and pink glitter in this polish give off the effect of leaves changing colors, if that makes sense? LOL

If you have the opportunity to purchase this polish, I think it was about $19, then I would definitely pick up a bottle. It is such a beautiful, gorgeous, mossy green color with hidden flecks of sparkle and shine that make this a very unique color to have for your collection.     
 
Anyway, check back for more nail polish pics and my full review!
