Hi vonvon: Bit of a typo – sorry. Its RM135 or RM140 not 72 for the colour focus quad. I still think its worth it though

Oh…just wanna add…..you make me wanna get the green color focus palette more and more. Since it’s only RM72, may be I should drop by Lancome counter the next time I go shopping. or wait for their make-over, have a make-over since i haven’t had one for a while, then redeem the palette. hehe! we’ll see.

Hi Paris! Yea, I tried out some greens today….from some generic brand. Alas, I didn’t take pix. It actually turned out quite alright, except i think the dark green…i didn’t blend too well, making the corner of my eyes looking a bit ‘bruised’. hehe! me an amateur only. When I try out the greens again, will try to take some pix and perhaps email you, then , may be you can give me some advice, since you are a pro in green eye shadow. thanks

Hey Jooj: I’m thinking a lot about the blush too – its expensive yet… they do feel nice. Sigh… The green quad does contain Erika F – its the shimmery shade thats oh so gorgeous! I reckon the quad are older and the duos newer. That said, this isn’t a “collection” in the true sense of the word more like a compilation of existing products by the artists. In Malaysia we get the Europe version of Lancome products so the colours may not be available everywhere in the world.

Hi Vonvon: They are all pretty but if you can get a dupe, its great – I’m sure you might have some nice greens in your collection. That said, the green color focus palette is gorgeous!

hmmm i am totally lemming on the green quad and coordinating pink blush! i swatched it at isetan KLCC the other day and am convinced that one of the green e/s is the infamous erika F. isn’t it a little weird that the quad is cheaper than the eyeshadow duo tho? i’m also wondering if i have the ballz to pull the trigger on a blush that’s over RM100… to be fair lancome blushes do have such amazing texture.

btw is the collection an Asia exclusive?

I should say that all 6 mini collections are great, because I just love make-ups in sets…gift sets,etc. and I can say I have quite a number of sets, mostly from Estee Lauder. Some even with repeats of certain colours because the SAs told me they always include their best selling colours in those sets.

I chose ARCTIC OCEAN because I like the teal shade eye shadow. Coming in second for me would be Lavender Provence because of PINK and lavender….my 2 most commonly used eye shadow shades. But I have several different kinds of eye shadow in these 2 colours and their shades.

Mystic Volcano is quite pretty but I already have similar colours in the Estee Lauder gift set I got for Christmas. In fact, all 4 colours are almost identical to 4 of the 6 colours in the warm palette of the ‘as good as gold’ set.

If I were to get the Desert Desire, I might as well buy something from Bobbi Brown because I haven’t tried Bobbi Brown cosmetics before.

But what I think is worth checking out and perhaps buying is TROPICAL RAINFOREST which many of you are raving about. Haven’t really tried foresty and leafy green eye shadow, only emerald colour and teal. They do bring out the colour on my face, and eyes, may be. Or may be I should check if any of the palettes I have contain similar colours and try them out 1st before venturing into a new buy.

As everyone knows, we need to be tightening our belts in the current economic situation.
