Marimekko for Avon

Today on design*sponge, one of my regular reads, I saw these beautiful packages designed for Avon by Finnish textile and clothing company Marimekko.

From the press release:

The Marimekko for Avon Color Collection interprets Marimekko's unique philosophy - design that creates beauty into people's everyday lives. The collection features Marimekko's iconic Unikko pattern designed by Maija Isola in 1964. Her daughter Kristina Isola re-interpreted the Unikko design with a unique look and fresh coloring for Avon. The collection contains four limited edition color products, including eyeshadow, face powder, lip gloss and mascara, as well as accessories.

I love the color contrast and the reason I like this is because the execution is slightly different than what many cosmetics companies have been doing with similar designs. (I'm assuming the black is plastic.) I actually like the typeface the used marimekko.
