Mad Men-Inspired Makeup!
By Heather Muir, Allure magazine
If you're jonesing for your Mad Men fix, you're in luck: AMC's drama debuts its much anticipated new season on March 25 at 9:00 P.M. To kick off the fifth season, Estée Lauder is coming out with two new glamorous products-a sexy red lipstick (Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection Lipstick in Cherry, $25) and a rose cream blush (Creme Rouge in Evening Rose, $40)-inspired by the bold lips, the rouge cheeks, and the general 1950s feminine put-together-ness that the show's leading ladies pull off so swell.

Both throwback gems come in metallic gold and matte blue floral printed boxes that remind us of our grandmother's wallpaper (in a good, sweet way). And they're held in these coolly retro, gilded cases that make you feel like you're wearing a dress with a nipped waist and demure little kitten heels. The lipstick is smaller than your pinky and delivers a rich, creamy true red (the miniature bullet makes precise application easy), while the rosy cream blush has a jeweled clasp and that ever-satisfying click (which totally makes you want to tap your fingers impatiently). In other words, the colors are great but the mid-century packaging? Heaven.

You can snag these at Bloomingdale's, bloomingdales.com, and esteelauder.com in time for opening night. And if you want more Mad Men makeup? (Of course you do!) The second collection is set to launch with season six in 2013.
