Stila Kitten Summer Eyeshadow Palette - swatches

A while ago, I mentioned that Stila had a new eyeshadow palette for summer - the Kitten Palette. Well, last weekend I finally remembered it and got a chance to check it out!

The first thing I noticed is that the Stila palettes have gone up in price. They are now retailing for RM190 each (6 colours) instead of the RM128 it was previously. Boo! So, even if I have good things to say about the Stila palette, I will balk at paying the terribly high price for what is a tiny little palette. Maybe I’ll try to source it from eleswhere.

The colours are lovely though. There’s More! Continue reading →

Some thoughts on Chanel Fall 2008 Joues Contraste

I usually avoid the mall on a weekend because I hate having to crush with crowds. But yesterday was a little different because I had to hit the bookstore to grab some books on sale. After that, I had a bit of a loose end so I popped down to see what was happening at the beauty counters.

Chanel Fall 2008 Joues Contrast blushes

My first stop was Chanel because it was empty. I had spotted the Fall 2008 collection and wanted to check out the Rose Dust Joues Contraste blush. I had enthused about Chanel Joues Contraste blushes in a previous post and I had mentioned that I wanted to check out Rose Dust because it looks so pretty in the pictures.

Well, Rose Dust is just as lovely in person! There’s More! Continue reading →

Bourjois Ombre Stretch Eyeshadow

I’d used Bourjois eyeshadows before, but were never truly impressed with them. The colours were nice, but the texture was hard. This is possibly due to the fact they are baked. The Bourjois round blushes are worth spending on, but the eyeshadows are hit and miss in my book.

Bourjois has come out with a new eyeshadow though, that looks nothing like their old one.

This one, housed in a rectangular case incorporates nylon microspheres to ensure the colour stretches like fabric. This is so the colour lasts longer. Don’t ask me what that means. I have absolutely no idea! (Read about it if you understand Japanese or read here if you understand French!)

There are 10 colours at present and retail for £5.95 each. I am itching to try the Intense Black 01, Or Extensible 03 and Vert Etirable 05 and maybe Brun Nylon 09. Too bad there’s no Bourjois here in Malaysia. Maybe when I make it down to Singapore and if its available there. Any Singaporeans care to report?

A Revlon Floral Affair for eyes and cheeks

A full 3 months after I wondered if Revlon would bring in their Limited Edition Floral Affair collection, I spotted it in our pharmacies. Of course, I had to test it at the counter to see if they were as pretty on the skin as they look.

The Floral Affair palettes for the eyes are so pretty. Just look at them! There’s More! Continue reading →
