Giorgio Armani Holiday 2009: Crystal Palette and Silk 94 Lipstick

Giorgio Armani's Holiday collection has been arriving in stores in limited quantities, so if you like anything, I suggest you grab them fast! I called Saks today to find that they had sold out most of their palettes and had only one left which the SA was kind enough to hold for me.

I came home with the Crystal Palette and Silk 94 Lipstick:

One more view:


I wish they had released an eyeshadow the same shade as the lipgloss, it would have made a gorgeous eye color! No swatches yet since it's too pretty to touch!

I don't remember all the shade names/numbers but this is what I saw:

* Crystal Palette - two tiered compact with crystals that contains a highlight powder oversprayed with silver sparkle, and 4 eyeshadows in shimmery cool charcoal, shimmery multi-dimensional teal, light silvery-blue, cool taupe grey
* Silk 94 Lipstick - sparkley (more shimmery than most armani lipsticks) golden-taupe
* Silk ?? Lipstick - shimmery warm red
* Lipshimmer 61 - matches the gold lipstick, but looks a bit more metallic/brassy
* Sheer Shimmer Powder #5 - I believe Armani had shimmer powders before, I can't remember how many there used to be, but they are the same size as the blushes/bronzers, this one is a pale iridescent light pink (similar to Chanel Rosee Poudre Douce)
* Mascara Top Coat in a glittery bronze/gold
