Please do not adjust your monitor. I am actually wearing colour on my eyes. I bought a lot of the Addiction Spring 2010 collection from www.Mihokoshop.com (you can see the pictures of the actual products in my previous post here), and I've finally gotten around to giving them all a go.
Limoncello (the chartreuse green) is quite sheer but buildable, and applies true to pan; it doesn't become more pastel when applied. Eggplant packs a pigment punch; I didn't have to use much at all to get a true colour, but it blends very nicely. The combination sounds odd, but I think it works quite well, and is very Spring-y.
Here's a couple of pictures wearing the blush (Acid Pink, a natural pink with sparkles) and the lipstick and gloss (Poupee, a baby pink, and Purple Rain, a sheer purple, respectively). The lip combination is pretty much the exact colour of my natural lips.

love the green on you. reminds me of my mum (not in a weird way, she just loves chartreusey green shades of anything!). um, I'm rambling in your comments box now! oops :D xo
ReplyDeleteHi Ammie - thanks. It's not my usual style, but I like it, I think.
ReplyDeleteHello JA - thank you :)
Hi Em - I should wear more green; this shade is particularly happy, I'm definitely with your mum :) I am super tempted by the Sugarpill Absinthe pigment at the moment.
That is a nice look and the colours work well together, I wasn't too sure about that Limoncello shade when I saw your haul post, but prefer it now that I have seen it on.I will get round to buying some of this brand at somepoint, I just keep changing my mind as to which shadows I want :)
ReplyDeleteI saw a tiny real life pic of that spring Le metier de beaute eye kit and it looked quite dark and warm earthy colours, so not sure about that, I think its bad that NM have such a unrealistic picture! Enjoy your Easter.
Hi Replica - I still haven't seen the Spring Le Metier kit yet, I will check it out next week, hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThe Addiction eyeshadows are lovely, it is hard to choose! I was surprised by how wearable the Limoncello actually was too :)
Your skin looks incredibly dewy here!
