I was told by what I thought was a reliable source, that Coffret D’or would not bring in the Summer 2009 collection. I guess they were wrong because Coffret D’or’s Summer\/Autumn 2009 Collection is here!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Comprising 5 eyeshadow palettes and new lipsticks, this Coffret D’or collection is\u00a0 pretty and a more functional one compared to the previous Spring 2009 Shine collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n I checked out the CM Eyes<\/a> eyeshadow palette which I found quite nice. They do swatch shiny and shimmery which I seem to notice is a trend favored by Japanese brands and Coffret D’or in particular. The colours too tend towards being light which some may not like but which I find are more user-friendly. Its harder to make a mistake with light shimmery shades than it is with strong pigmented colours. Here are pictures of the palettes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The colours are light and honestly, I feel that Coffret D’or looks to me like they are in a bit of a rut. The colour combinations look very similar in most collections. In fact, compare these with the 3D Lighting eyes<\/a> and you will see lots of similarities. I’m happy with my 3D Lighting Eyes palettes<\/a> and I find that the CM Eyes palettes swatch very similarly to the 3D Lighting ones so I will not be making a purchase.<\/p>\n That said, its a good thing they have a similar texture to the first palette because I was not impressed with the previous 2 eyeshadow palettes released by Coffret D’or. The lipsticks are the usual sheer colour that can be expected from Japanese brands. They are very nice but again, not so special I can’t wait for a sale before getting them \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n All that said, I must admit the looks done with this collection make the girls look so fresh-faced and pretty! I guess Coffret D’or is working with a formula they know works.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My favourite look is #2 but then that blue-green eyeshadow just screams Paris B right? \ud83d\ude00 Have you seen the new Coffret D’or collection? Have you any thoughts on the eyeshadows or on Coffret D’or eyeshadows in general?<\/p>\n Stay beautiful,<\/p>\n Paris B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was told by what I thought was a reliable source, that Coffret D’or would not bring in the Summer 2009 collection.
