Yes, I am somewhat obsessive when I discover a new brand that I love. Late summer is also something of a cosmetic release wasteland, unless you are into MAC, and hence another order with Zuneta. I promise once the Autumn collections hit I will talk about other brands, and I am hoping (if the Post Office obliges) that I will have a Content order tomorrow with a rather lovely RMS cream eyeshadow I can show you.
Pictured are:
Angelic Cockatiels (left) Delicate Hummingbird (right) eyeshadows.
Lola eye khol
Roald lip pencil
Coy gleaming temptations lip gloss
The lip pencil is soft and very pigmented - the same kind of texture as the Armani lip pencils. This stuff does not budge - I had to scrub at my arm after swatching it to get it to remove. This is a pale cool pink, very good for unpigmented lips like mine.
The kohl pencil is beautifully soft and a gorgeous deep brown with shimmer. Very versatile, and a bit softer than a black pencil. The texture does mean it doesn't wear brilliantly on its own and would be best set with a powder eyeshadow over the top. I have only worn it today though, and the weather is dreadfully muggy and close; not many pencils would have stood up to today's humidity.
I'm not usually a lipgloss kind of girl, but this colour intrigued me. It's a sheer warm strawberry with shimmer, and it's the kind of colour that makes lips look plump and healthy. The colour is quite similar to the limited edition Strawberry Blonde lipstick from the MAC Catherine Deneuve collection, which sold out quickly and then changed hands for jaw-dropping amounts on ebay. It's moderately sticky - MAC Lustreglass texture, rather than Lipglass (which are very very sticky.)
I haven't worn Delicate Hummingbird yet, but in the pot it is a very pretty, shimmery plum. I wore Angelic Cockatiels today as a wash over my lid and crease, and this is very flattering - it's a glossy slightly-deeper-than-flesh-toned nude, along the same lines as Stila Kitten or MAC Naked Lunch, but not as frosty as either of those, with more of a metallic gleam than frosty shimmer.
The picture below is of Roald and Coy on my lips. The picture probably reads a bit lighter than real life, but it shows the texture quite well.

I love love love the combo for the lips, very pretty. Too bad I don't think Zuneta ships internationally...
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, did you own any of the Kaleidoscope palettes from le metier de beaute. I am crazy about the violaceous splendor kit, but I did not see any reviews, swatches on them. Do you own one of those?

Hello Lucia
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy any of the Le Metier palettes. The one that I was interested in (Persephone) is not stocked by Liberty, and all the spring ones are quite bright; I would not have used two of the colours in the Violaceous kit (the orange, or the bright pink.) I'd compare it to Kevyn Aucoin palette 5, which I think works better on a deeper/warmer skintone - I've reviewed this one on emakemeup.com.
There are good pictures of some of the Le Metier eyeshadows on thebeautylookbook.blogspot.com.
Great picture and review, I will add Angelic Cockatiels and Roald to my list of RBR wants :)
ReplyDeleteI just placed my order i feel sick at the cost of the items though.. 4 or 5 things for £140..ouch!!

Whenever I get to UK, I will have to check this line out! It looks so nice and tempting!
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia
ReplyDeleteIt is a very tempting line! I've loved your posts on make up brushes by the way - they helped me to finally figure out that the brush I want to pack colour on my lid is a filbert, and I bought the MAC 239 yesterday.
