So, this is a bit of a late post, in that I bought these Christmas 2011. Only today when I took them out to photograph and swatch them did I really have a good look at them and think, you know what, these are pretty decent. I bought them from Boots and it was actually in the January (2012) I bought them when they were trying to clear all the old stock. Now, I've had a look on the Boots website, and I don't think they're selling them any more - so I'm sorry to do yet another post of a discontinued item :( But, I still wanted to share them with you :) Photos and review below :)
These are my favourites of the collection, possibly becuase the items I can see myself using the most. The plum colour liquid eye liner is stunning, in fact, they all are :) To get that nice amount of glitter below, that was 4 heavy coats of glitter, allowing it to try between each application first. But it's nice to see there are 3 ways to wear them - alone, both or just glitter. I prefer them alone or with glitter :)
These are really thick and creamy - that might have been something to do with being photographed in a roasting hot conservatory though ;) Either way, beautiful colours, the idea with these is to use them as a cream eye shadow, or as a highly blended eye liner for your upper lash line. Now, my eyes crease like crazy so these aren't great on me, but if you don't have massively hooded/oily eyes I'm sure they'd be great :)
I love the colours of these, well, the light one - the other is just a standard black. But, the light one, I'm not sure I'd ever use, I just can't carry off colours this light. Maybe if I had darker skin I could, but as it stands, as pretty as it is, I can't use it, just too light.
To see the mascara, it's the the pic at the top :) It's pretty decent, but likes to clump, so it was a challenge to get it as good as I did, not easy. Not the best wand, but I've used worse :)
Whoa, a lot of photos! Did any of you pick these up at Christmas time? What did you think?
