As I sit here with a snowstorm going on outside, I am dreaming of warm, summery days.   Oh to see green grass, my flowers in the garden and warmth in the air.  Instead, I’ll just dream about this new Estée Lauder collection called Vivid Garden.

The jewel, or shall I say, the rose of this garden party is the Vivid Garden Illuminating Powder.   It has three luminous, floral-inspired shades that are lightly dusted with gold in a summery floral pattern.   Dust it wherever you want to have a warm, luminous glow – cheeks, face, décolletage.

Two limited edition eye shadow quads in pretty pastels with a floral design in a gold overlay.  In Jasmine Garden and Orchid Garden.   Shown above is the Jasmine Garden.

Also in the collection

• Duo-Tone eye pencil in Onyx and Pearl
• Pure Color Illuminating Gloss in Lotus Blossom and Peach Blossom
• Pure Color Crystal Lipstick in Crystal Coral and Sweet Lychee
• Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Peach Blossom and Lotus Blossom

The Illuminating Powder and Duo-Tone pencil are available at limited Estée Lauder counters and www.esteelauder.com.    The Orchid Garden collection is limited edition at Nordstrom and the Jasmine Garden collection is available at Saks, Neimans and Bloomingdales.
