The new L’Oreal Chrome Intensity quads are pretty! There are 4 colour families but my favourite of the lot is Aquadisiac. That’s not to say I’ve tried them all – I based it on pictures and the testers at the counter 🙂
Anyway, here’s the L’Oreal Chrome Intensity Aquadisiac palette which is a bluesy sort of palette. The eyeshadow feels a little hard to the touch. This is coming from someone who uses fingers to apply eyeshadow so touch is important to me.
Many have noted that the colours are beautiful, and pigmented. Personally, I did not think it so. I mean, yes they are beautiful and pigmented depending on what you use to apply them.
If you use the sponge tip applicator provided you will get nice strong colour. If you use your fingers, you can swipe hard to get the intensity you want. If you use a brush, you wouldn’t get the same sort of intensity, so you might then get disappointed. Even if you use a dense brush, the colour pick up isn’t very good and it can get dusty. So, I’d suggest that you apply these with the sponge applicators or fingers for more colour intensity.
I’m happy with the texture as is to be honest. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but I’m happy with it because it makes the palette very wearable. That bright turquoise looks too bright, but in fact, once you blend it in with the navy blue or black, it becomes wearable. You can also sheer it out so its not so intense on your eyes. I wore 2 looks with this palette, which I’ll show you below 🙂

I live in the Tropics and I wear tights sometimes. Call me crazy, but it allows me to get away with wearing to work, dresses or skirts so short it’d be indecent otherwise 😛
I however only stick to black because that’s just how I like them. Fortunately for me, my office sometimes feels like the Tundra so its not quite uncomfortable to prance around in tights.
I also make sure I wear tights when I know I’ll be going to air conditioned places or else I’m likely to melt away in this heat. I did go out to a yong tau foo hawker stall for lunch one day (its my fave stall and its super hot there!) and me in my black tights did draw some stares – admittedly, it was more crazy than cool then 😉

Happy Saturday Ladies
I have here a couple of new products coming out in July 2010 – looks like July is all about hydration if the new skincare launches are anything to go by 🙂
Estee Lauder Hydrationist Moisture System
A new skincare range in the Estee Lauder stables is the Hydrationist moisture system. This line is targeted at delivering moisture to dehydrated skin, one of the first signs of aging. It is designed to help strengthen the moisture barrier, thereby helping your skin retain moisture better and thus reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Personally, I’m terribly intrigued by this one!
There are 2 products for now – a Moisture Barrier Fortifier (serum) and Maximum Moisturizer (moisturizer).
Estee Lauder Hydrationist Moisture Barrier Fortifier – RM275
Estee Lauder Hydrationist Maximum Moisturizer – RM190
La Prairie Anti Aging Anti Wrinkle Eye Line Filler
With all the work our eyes do, and the thin skin around the eye area, its no wonder our eye area develops lines more quickly than anywhere else. La Prairie’s new eye cream claims to help plump up the lines around the eyes and to smoothen the skin around the eye area. Results are supposed to be instantaneous – with a three prong deliver system – plumping, rebuilding and hydrating. Worth a look if you have deep pockets.
La Prairie Anti-Aging Anti-Wrinkle Eye Line Filler – RM485/15ml
