Lancome Pop Cherub

Another pretty eyeshadow palette.  Lancome Pop Cherub in limited edition.  Launched end Jan in Singapore and now all gone.  And I asked the counter lady why they bothered to keep the display if they didn’t have stocks!  Grrrr…don’t they know that this will annoy customers?

Gucci Westman, Lancôme’s International Artistic Director, has created 5-color palettes of ethereal shades, from soft pastels to romantic earth tones, for the most angelic looks. Inspired by the cherub, the lifelong icon of Lancôme Makeup, now you can spring into fashion with the eye-popping colors that fantasies and dreams are made of.

Bourjois Parisian Chic

I’m so taken by the packaging of Bourjois’ new range of eye makeup and lipsticks.  Pretty!  Especially their new Petit Guide de Style which comes in six pretty booklets, each consisting of a pair of eyeshadow and liner complete with eye makeup tips!  At S$23 plus a 20% discount from a special promotion, I just couldn’t resist getting the shell pink and dark violet named Coquette Rosette.  

Fyrinnae vegan eye shadow

While I don’t wear eye makeup that frequently, I still like to experiment with colours.  It’s just that I’ve been limited by the depth of my pocket to test out the gamut of colours under so many brands.  However, since chancing upon Fyrinnae, my eyes have been opened real wide. 

Fyrinnae is quite possibly, the holy grail of eye shadow.  

Imagine.  Over 160 shades of eye shadows in any imaginable shades, tones and finishes and still adding more every month.  Very. Hard. To. Resist. 

Stila: smokey eyes made easy

Using black or gray eyeshadow to achieve smokey eyes is now passe.  The latest is to use many shades of the same colour.   A minimum of three shades in light, medium and dark tones at least, and if you want extra effect, you can blend as many as five.   

And here’s a simple 4-step approach to achieve your own smokey eyes with a trio of colours.

  1. Apply the lightest colour as base to the entire eye area, from eyebrow to lashline.
