Estee Lauder Raisins

Hello Ladies!

I finally got it! After searching for ages, and it being sold out forever I finally got my hands on the much hyped Estee Lauder Eyeshadow Duo in Raisins. I think it was Tanya Burr that started off all the hype about this many months ago by mentioning it in one of her videos, and I've said it before who am I to pass up a good hyped product? I think everyone must have rushed out and bought it there and then because as usual by the time I decided I wanted it, it was sold out everywhere. Which of course made me want it all the more! So over the weekend I was randomly at an Estee Lauder counter and asked if they had it, not expecting much but the woman came out from behind the counter with it and I literally pounced. The poor woman probably thought I was insane, but I was so happy! 

Being the good beauty blogger that I am I waited until I was at home, and had my pictures taken before I played with it. (and let me tell you that was more difficult than it sounds!) I have completely fallen in love ladies. I have never tried any Estee Lauder products (other than testers) before this but I am completely sold! The eyeshadows are such fantastic quality, they blend like a complete dream and are they are incredibly long lasting! I originally thought they stained my eyelid because they stayed on so well. Even after swatching them for the picture I had to really scrub to get the deeper colour off!

The colours are just amazing. The lighter pink is quite similar to Naked Lunch from MAC but slightly darker and more pigmented. I usually just wear this all over the lid and a little bit in the inner corner of my eye. The darker shade is just amazing. It is a deep plum/purple and despite what you might think it is completely wearable! I just put this on the outside corners and blend it into the lighter shade. Purple is not normally a colour I would go for but with this duo it really is wearable and you would get away with it for an everyday look. This along with the Naked Basics palette has taken up permanent residency in my make-up bag!

Have you managed to get your hands on Raisins? What other Estee Lauder products would you recommend for me? I think I'll try a foundation or a lipstick!
