Estée Lauder Ultimate Red 2009 Holiday Collection.

The Ultimate Red Color Collection is a luxurious, opulent collection. The classic navy blue, Signature Estée Lauder packaging has been transformed to a holiday gold, encasing jewel-inspired shades of lavish plums and gold flecked caramels. Lips create a high impact in deep shades of cranberry and blackberry while the skin is lightly dusted in luminous, shimmer powder.

As I shy away from red, for I can never find the "right red" lip shade for me, I was thrilled to have discovered that the Opulent Shimmer Gloss in Cranberry could have been made for me - it is that beautiful. This one is sure to be beautiful on a multitude of skin tones as well. Another must-have is the Opulent Shimmer Powder. I have been using it daily since it arrived!
