marimekko for avon


good morning and happy new year! after 2 weeks away from d*s it’s so great to get back to work. over the past 14 days i’ve been working on some new projects for the site and hope to introduce the first next week, but in the meantime i wanted to kick things off one of my favorite gifts i received this christmas. marimekko designed an eyeshadow, face color and mascara package for avon and i was thrilled to get the beautiful blush in my stocking. it’s practically too pretty to use (i love the way the actual makeup creates the floral image) so right now it’s just sitting on my bathroom window sill staring at me.

also, three new wedding posts at the martha stewart blog went up over the holidays if you’re interested in checking out name-changing, wedding party and lighting talk.

[quick update: there's a huge marimekko sale going on at always mod right here]

I love the Marimekko. Searching the web for Marimekko anything got me caught up in the whole decor blog thing.

Yay…D*S is back :). I’m excited to see what new things you’ll be introducing…your blog adds such a special sparkle to my day. (and congrats on getting nominated for The Homies award over at Apartment Therapy!).

don’t you just love makeup that is almost too pretty to use?

Gorgeous packages! I too would just display them rather than use.

I looked on Avon.com for the Marimekko line and it’s not there. Is it sold out or did it not roll out yet?

I’ve just been to the UK Avon website & am gutted that they don’t have the eye shadow in a green or brown colourway – blue & grey don’t suit me at all! *sob*

Has anyone figured out how to order this in the US? Does the lady in the pink car have to come? (Hah, no, wait, that’s Mary Kay!) It doesn’t seem to be on the avon site anywhere.
