I bought these products back in Autumn 2007, when Suqqu first introduced the Blend products with the Moss Monochrome collection. I still wear and love them, and pulled them out to do a FOTD this weekend. From left to right: Blend eyeshadow 01 Souryoku, Blend lipstick 03 Kousa, Blend Cheeks 02 Fuwaridaidai.
I'm also wearing cream Foundation in 10, Loose Powder Natural and Creamy Eyeliner 01 Green.
One of the things I really liked about this collection, and about Suqqu generally, is that there is a good choice of warm, cool and neutral colours to choose from. This is quite a neutral/warm look on the cheeks and lips, paired with a cool/neutral eye look. In the same collection there were some very pretty cool pink lips and cheeks, warmer brown lips and cheeks, cool blue and purple quads, a neutral grey quad and a warm brown quad. The overall theme/feel was a slightly smoky classic eye with a neutral lip and cheek. None of these products were limited edition.

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty look on you, Grace!

Well what did Mr.London say because I say wolfwhistle (I don't know what the correct onomatopoeic term is, whit whoo? seems a bit owlish) You look so sultry!
ReplyDeleteMy own experiences with Suqqu haven't been so great, I have two pot glosses from them and they are too sheer for me but I'd like to try some other items now. xx
Hi Musing on Beauty - thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHello Amy - the Suqqu foundation is amazing, and has a deservedly great reputation with professional make-up artists too. Thank you!
Hi Anonymous - I hope you get it one day too, it is a lovely line.
Hey SB - thanks :)
Hi Great She Elephant - thank you :)
Hello Anonymous - thanks for the kind words, and for visiting my blog.
Hey Shoobe - LOL. Mr London really likes the green smoky eyes, he likes green eyeshadow on me. I wonder if I was wearing green eyeshadow when we started dating, and it's imprinted on him?
Suqqu is well worth a second try, particularly the Blend lipsticks. The pot glosses are really sheer, but the Blend lipsticks from the Autumn/Winter collections give good colour.
Absolutely stunning! These colors compliment your natural features perfectly. Love the colors you coordinated. There's no way you're in your 30's! I would have guessed mid 20's.
ReplyDeleteYour face just glows :)
Hi Sabrina - thank you, that's much too kind.
