Charlotte Tilbury is my favorite new beauty launch this year! Her makeup beats Gucci's by a long shot (first impressions review here), so I apologize for not being able to share this compilation sooner. I was waiting on some additional products to arrive and figured it was worth the wait to share as many shade variations as possible. Check out the individual product reviews and swatches after the jump!
This summer, Shu Uemura re-released their iconic Drawing Pencil Eyeliners, which have been some of the brand's most popular products for years. The new formula glides on more smoothly than before and the vibrant and practical colors offered are irresistible. See swatches of all 18 pencils after the jump!
I am an eyeliner addict. I have a fairly extensive collection of eyeliners — pencils, liquids, felt tips, brush tips, glitters, etc. I may use liquid liners most often, but I am partial to pencil eyeliner. I recently discovered EM Michelle Phan's Waterliner pencils, which have a unique, rich pigment that is relatively budge-proof. The dark shades were made to define while the light shades were intended to brighten. Today I will share swatches of all my favorite pencil eyeliners and provide comparisons to dozens of others, so check them out after the jump!
Tom Ford finally released a liquid eyeliner, and it is flat out phenomenal. The Eye Defining Pen in Deeper, $55 USD, is a dual-ended eyeliner pen with one of the richest, satin-matte black formulas I have ever encountered. I was hesitant at first since it is not a waterproof formula, which is best for my hooded almond eyes, but my expectations were far exceeded at first swipe. Check out more details and full eye looks after the jump!
My first purchase from the Chanel Fall 2013 Superstition collection was the Alchemie Le Vernis, but today I will share with you the Khaki Précieux 104 Long-Lasting Eyeliner Pencil. If you like a quick yet feminine eye look, this is a must-read. View the swatches and comparisons after the jump!
Laura Mercier's Dark Spell collection has been popular with so many of you, and after playing with the products, I can see why. In two weeks, I will be creating a video review and tutorial with the products I splurged on. I am waiting for one of the backordered products to arrive at Nordstrom, but I am very excited to share the information I have in the meantime. See more details and all swatches after the jump!
Let us welcome the Chanel's newest release, the Summer 2013 makeup collection!The dazzling colours of butterfly wings inspire a joyful look for Summer, with the enchanting collection L’ÉTÉ PAPILLON DE CHANEL. Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup Peter Philips envisions electric shades of gold, pink and platinum to set eyelids aglow, with lashes fluttering in whimsical aqua, lime and blue hues. Crisp peach and bright raspberry grace the lips, while nails finish the fleeting mood in glimmering shades of intense coral, deep blue-green and heavenly blue.
I spent the morning swatching nearly the entire collection. I had previously purchased two of the nail polishes and one of the glossimers at Macy's South Coast Plaza, so those individual reviews should be posted next week. The display below was missing the Zephyr Glossimer, the beige with shimmer, but I am positive it swatches sheerly because I took a look at it when I purchased my nail polishes. I will wait for the collection to arrive at my local Nordstrom and purchase the eyeshadow pens then, in order to collect points on my purchases.. I simply couldn't wait on Bel-argus and Azure! See individual product reviews, photos, and swatches after the jump!
