630redhead Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 ...And just when I think I have seen pretty much all the Estee Lauder Gift With Purchase brochures there always seem to be more...here are five that are new to me - a fellow collector was kind enough to let me borrow and scan them. These scans are mine but the brochures are not... Fall 1988 Spring 1989/Fall 1989 Quote
630redhead Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 ...and last for tonight - my favorite new acquisition. Estee Lauder Nights - this is a glossy 8x10 picture that was placed in a frame at the Estee Lauder cosmetics counters for Holiday colorstory 1989... Quote
Xuxa Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Thank you, Readhead, you make me happy my day! Excellent acquisitions! How can you find new brochures from 20 years ago? Please tell me the secret! I don't buy any Paulina Pic's from one year ago. :-( But seeing this pic I think Paulina was the best Estee Lauder's model, although I recognize Hillary Rhoda is a good model too, she has the Estee Lauder elegance and glamour !

TXPink Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Thank you for the Christmas ad. I remember this one in the stores when I was too young for her products. Oh..Estee Lauder at Christmas! Like new candy. What fun that always is to look forward to (and back upon). Quote

Oh Xuxa, I am delighted to make your day happy. But I have to tell you - I have no secret. This ebay seller sold me a magazine with Paulina over a year ago and he put an Estee Lauder postcard in as an "extra" - so I contacted him to ask him if he had more Estee Lauder items. He told me yes, in his basement in a box. He told me he was going through his boxes very slowly and it might take weeks, months or even years before he found this one. I asked him to please remember me when he found the box. I e-mailed him once every 2-3 months to remind him I was very interested. As luck would have it, when he found the box, I had not e-mailed him in probably 4 months and he lost my e-mail address! (GRRRR.... <_< ) I saw the 1 brochure on ebay, so I bid on that one and contacted him. He told me he was hoping I'd see the auction but that he wanted to keep all but the duplicates he had, so we made a nice deal for his duplicates and he let me borrow five other brochures that he would not sell but that I had never seen before. So that is it - no secret, just happened to find the right person and was very careful to try to stay in touch with him. When I borrowed the brochures, I asked him to please remember me if he ever decides to sell his collection. Anyway - long story but there is no magic. I am so envious of kalaudia for the one she found recently! I guess if we are all just patient enough, we will find more as time goes by. And WELCOME TXPink - I agree, Christmas at Estee Lauder is a wonderful time! Everything is all decked out so beautifully and the colors they bring out for Christmas are terrific for wearing to all the festivities! Quote
630redhead Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 From our friend, Helenalover - here is one of his Cosmo South Africa covers (from October 1988), with the article from inside the magazine "The Six Million Dollar Czech". My scans... Quote

kalaudia Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Hi Red and Helenalover,Thanks for the Cosmo scans. I especially like the first one as it grants deeper insight into the evolution of the New Lauder Face. I never knew that Eileen Fordhad this condescending attitude towards Paulina. Well, she hadn't signed with her, had she? Quote

630redhead Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Oh Silvana, I am so sorry to hear about your difficult year. Please know I am thinking of you and I hope things begin to look up for you.Here is a video commercial I just found on YouTube - as far as I know it has never been posted. It is one of those funny little Asian ones that were so popular in the 80's and 90's...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzaivFkOlVE...feature=related Quote
630redhead Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Here is an Estee Lauder picture that was provided to me by a fellow Paulina collector. I have been told that it is a photo probably used on counter in a tester unit or a frame. Based on the look of the photo (makeup, hair, etc), I would say it is most likely from 1992 or 1993. I will leave this collector anonymous out of respect. This picture is not mine, nor did I scan it. I did clean it up a bit with my own software before posting... Thank you to this collector for your kindness in sharing this rare picture... Quote

630redhead Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 I know we all prefer the lovely fashion editorials and Estee Lauder ads, etc. but sometimes it's just fun to see Paulina out and about... Here are some shots I found on the web from 2009 of her visit to the Mall at Millenia in Orlando Florida during Fashion Week. She must have visited on two separate days because there are two different outfits she wore. Here's the first batch- Quote
630redhead Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Here's more- these are mostly of her shopping at the stores in the mall (there were LOTS more, but I cut a lot of them out - there were a ton of pictures with her posing with random shoppers/employees that I did not think anyone would really enjoy - I think it was really cool that she was nice enough to talk with and take pictures with so many people but I don't think it's that interesting to see them unless I know the other people) Quote
630redhead Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 I found a new Estee Lauder ad! At least it's new for me... I'd never seen it before. It's for some colors called A Blush of Pearls and according to the ad, it was for a collaboration between Bloomingdale's, Estee Lauder and Carolee pearls. Quote
