New at NM: Estée Lauder 2012 Collectible Compacts

Estée Lauder 2012 compact collection
Estée Lauder‘s annual, limited-edition compact collections evoke an era of unsurpassed glamour and continue to fascinate collectors around the world. Since the Fifties the beauty brand has created more than 1,600 compacts housing pressed powder or solid perfume. When the collection is not traveling the world, the permanent collection is catalogued and archived at Estée Lauder’s headquarters in New York City.
This year’s celestial inspired collection won us over because it showcases the signs of the Zodiac, a reminder of NM’s finest restaurants. Can’t you just imagine Estée herself lunching at Zodiac with Stanley Marcus, and having one of these tucked inside her clutch?
Each unique compact features one of twelve signs and is adorned with a Swarovski crystal on the clasp. The sleek compacts fit into the palm of your hand and are engravable for a customized gift.

Compacts from the 2012 Zodiac collection.
There are Lauder goodies galore during Up Close: Estée Lauder at NM stores and NeimanMarcus.com
