My Review of the Estée Lauder x Ladurée Collection

Before we even talk about the products, let’s take a moment to swoon over the packaging. Inspired by Ladurée’s famous macarons and elegant patisserie boxes, every detail feels super luxurious. Think soft pastels, gold accents, and a chic vintage vibe. It’s the kind of makeup you want to constantly have on display rather than hide in a drawer.

Apparently this baroque aesthetic has been pinpointed as one of the strong trends of 2025 by Pinterest, so this collection could be super popular.

I think the lip oils are my favourite. I love the shades, although I do think they have mixed up the shade descriptions I have been given, so make sure you refer to my swatches rather than the words.

The doe-foot applicator is nice and big, yet defined, so application is really easy.

And the product itself looks and feels great on the lips. They glide on effortlessly, leaving lips nourished and plump with just a hint of colour. Check out all my swatches above.

I also think the lipstick set is really cool. I love how there’s a refill in a different shade that can switch in and out of the packaging depending on what you want to wear that day. I actually think that at £49 for two lipsticks with the limited edition keep-forever packaging, it’s actually a pretty good deal for this EL formula. I suppose it really comes down to whether you like the shades.

Rebellious Rose is a little too pink for me, but I love the nudey brown tones of Indulgent. The design on the bullets and the packaging in general is just stunning.

The formula is what you’d expect from Estée Lauder – super comfortable, hydrating, and long-lasting.

The eyeshadow palette offers up such a pretty range of shades and the packaging is just adorable.

My personal favourite shades are the browns one, Chocolate Crémeux and Cocoa Canelle. I really love the tones and I think they have the most superior formula. Unfortunately, I don’t think every shade is as good as these in terms of texture, so although it is beautiful, and definitely worth picking up as a collector, I don’t think it will be for your real eyeshadow junkie.

Also, personally eight shades is too much for me these days. I tend to be a one and done kind of girl. I basically stick to my REESON Lid Elixir* most days.
