    Those jellies are cute! I’ve got to think that the SJP cuff bracelet looks better in person than the pic. thanks for sharing these.

      I hope it looks better in person, but the SJP NYC packaging does not give me much hope, LOL…

        It really is. I wish a line I actually liked would do some of these… or maybe I don’t (poor bank account).

          Yeah, that’s one of the things (and one of the only things) I’ve always loved about Estee Lauder…all the great, collectible compacts.

      Ditto. There’s a very cool snail too:

        Oh, that snail is really wonderful! I wasn’t so convinced by the turtle (He looks like he’s got a toothache. Or possibly constipation), but the snail is lovely. As soon as I find a spare £250 between the couch cushions, I’m going to bring him home and pet him.

          LOL…it is true the turtle does not look happy. But in real life he is probably so small you wouldn’t even notice.

          I was thinking that the turtle looked pained myself. 🙂

    I do like that turtle! It reminds me of something my great-aunt, who loved Estee Lauder, would have had sitting on her dresser amidst her perfume collection. As far as the SJP cuff thingie, at least it’s affordable!

      Definitely – I love almost all of the EL compacts, but they’re a little too rich for my blood. I’d rather spend my money on juice than the container – but they are definitely cool.

    The packaging of the jellys looks like the packaging of Aquolina Pink Sugar. I like the turtle.

    I think the poor turtle looks as though he is struggling with the weight of his shell.

    That being said, I think he’s adorable.

      he does look exhausted! he’d be cute sitting next to the snail….but I can’t imagine spending that much on either one!

      He does look on the verge of being flattened.

    So far in Germany I only saw the version for Cacharel Scarlett, none of the others, I wonder whether they won’t be available here?
    I tried Scarlett again but it´s really like a fruitdrop dissolving in lemonade to me, I could not wear it. Anais Anais I might buy.

    Well, I suppose I have to wait and see 😀 Just those sizes would be handy for trying/travelling; of course one could just fill an empty-purse-spray from a regular bottle, too, but they look so pretty 🙂
