I know... this collection is soooo yesteryear (and probably taken off the shelves by now)!! Sooo sorry!! My draft + pics went along with my laptop :( I didn't want to post this at first since it's terribly outdated, but decided to go ahead anyway since I already took the pictures and still have them in my camera memory card! I hope some of you do find this useful! :D
This is a typical End Winter / Spring collection - with soft pastels and nudes prominently featured in its color story. Those who know me well can probably tell that this is soooo NOT up my alley, but I do happen to like a few things (which you'll find out later)! :) I do apologize for not having pictures of the Nail Lacquers - I left my brains at home and forgot to swatch them! We did not get the skin care stuff as well :(
Ok lets start with the Chromagraphic , Eye Kohl and Kohl Power Eye Pencils (US$14.50 / RM62 each)! :D

Chromagraphic Pencils in NC15 / NW20 & NW25 / NC30 - These look just like foundation in pencil form, but apparently they can be used as concealer / eyeliner / highlighter! Glad to see that they have found their way here this time (we did not get these pencils with the Prêt-à-Papier collection! :)
Eye Kohl in I Get No Kick - Metallic nude. Can't really see this as an actual eyeliner - methinks that it works better as a highlighter! :)
Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline - Rich black. The ever popular Feline makes its appearance here once again (last seen in the Love Lace collection!)! MAC should make this permanent already!
Caviar Dreams Eyeshadow Quad (US$36 / RM140):

This is the perfect quad for pastel lovers - the colors are just so soft and feminine! All 4 colors swatch beautifully! :)
Brule (Satin) - Soft creamy beige. This is permanent.
Retrospeck (Lustre) - Beached blonde. This is permanent too! :)
Et tu, Bouquet? (Frost) - Frosted pale pink gold. This is a repromote from A Rose Romance and its still as beautiful as ever! :)
Caviar Dreams (Frost) - Dirty Frosted Pewter. My favourite color of the bunch for obvious reasons! :D
Lipsticks (US$14.50 / RM65):

All lippies are permanent except Quiet, Please which is repromoted from Red She said :)
Tanarama (Frost) - Soft pale golden beige with golden metallic shimmer
Flustered (Frost) - Frosted pale bronze
Quiet, Please (Lustre) - Frosted pink champagne. I don't remember it being this pink though. See my lip swatch here! :)
Gel (Frost) - Sheer metallic beige

The lipgelées are like glitters on steroids - as you can see they're literally glitterbombs! :D
Sin-tillation - Sparkly pale icy pink.
Luxure - Off-white with pink pearl.
Bubble Lounge - Sparkly pink peach.
Straight to the Head - Sparkly bronze brown.
Paint Pots (US$16.50 / RM70):

All limited edition this time. These work well alone but i think they'll look even better with a matching shadow over them! :D
Dangerous Cuvée - Frosted cool grey
Chilled on Ice - Frosted white gold
Vintage Selection - Frosted dirty peach
Let Me Pop - Frosted light copper
Special Reserve Highlight Powders (US$28 / RM115):

The highlight of the collection!! :D I'm loving the crinkly surface they spot! :)
Chez Chez Lamé - Soft gold with silver shimmer. Kicking myself now for not getting this... T_T
Rosé Ole - Soft pink with gold shimmer. Beautiful in every single way!! I'm loving it!! :D
That's all for now! I have a review of Rose Olé scheduled next week, and Peacocky is next so stay tuned! :)

Oohh... i didn't get to check out the Stylishly Yours collection because it didn't come here! :( Which paint pot are you looking at? Maybe you can ebay for them! ;)
thanks for the swatches! I regretted not getting the chromagraphic pencil last time
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches. This collection is not my cup of tea, I prefer colorful shades, but I have to say the Eye Kohl in I Get No Kick is really tempting me. I think it'd make a lovely highlighter too.
