08.28.12 - Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color

I first heard about these from a Youtube beauty guru who only talks about Asian Cosmetics. She LOVED the Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Colors. I wanted to try out Jill Stuart Cosmetics  [link is for imomoko's site] anyway because they're packaged so beautifully! (Yeah, I know >_< Stupid reason LOL!) But if you look up Jill Stuart's Cosmetic line, you'll see that their products are quite expensive. O_o; On the level of high end brands like Dior, Chanel, Lancome, and etc. 

So, I looked for them on Makeup Alley. I had just started going there because of another Youtuber [can't you tell I got into this because of Youtube?!] had recommended that site. 

I found someone that was willing to swap one (split with two colors <--you'll see what I'm talking about soon) for another product of mine. Btw, this swap happened about 3 years ago :P So I really don't remember what I swapped for. Once I tried it out, I really loved it. And tried to find them. 

Luckily, the Jelly Eye Colors are one of their cheaper products (cheaper meaning they're $29.99 <--when I purchased them back then. I think it's $39 now?). I had some extra money from birthdays and saving from work and such... so TAA DAA! Here they are. Like I said, these were purchased a few years ago..., so the packaging might be different now.

This is what the boxes look like. I don't know if you can see the embossed details. It's so beautiful...

- MAJOLICA MAJORCA JEWELING EYES GR780

Today's Asian eyeshadow palette will be the Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes in GR780

This quad isn't one of my super old purchases, nor is it a recent one. But it was out where I can grab it easily. I believe I've had this for 3 years(?) and I know they're still selling them (unlike the previous trio I posted about).

Everything was taken in indirect sunlight and swatched over UDPP. 

Isn't the packaging gorgeous?! 

08.22.12 - KANEBO LAVSHUCA NOBLE EYES PK-1

Since I haven't been purchasing much lately (good for my wallet ;P), I decided that I wanted to re-swatch my Asian cosmetics (once that's done, I'll figure out what else to do LOL). Plus, since I'm still playing around with my new camera... ^_^;;;

Unfortunately, the thing I wanted to do (label photos by writing with my drawing tablet)... failed, I just decided to post up the photos anyway. [The tablet was being weird. I think I have to re-install the driver :/]

I babble too much! :P Onto the actual post!!

 Now this is a Japanese drugstore brand called Lavshuca. This is the first Asian cosmetic product I had ever purchased. I mean, can't you see all the scratches and scuffs on the packaging? :P 

Why can't our drugstore brands have adorable packaging like this?!

08.19.12 - Victoria Secret: the NAKEDs palette

Went to the mall today just to walk around and cool down from the heat (I LOVE YOU AC! lol) Anyway, I wandered into Victoria's Secret because I wanted to check out their the NAKED palette. I swatched the shades and liked what I saw... So I bought it >_<. I also bought some LOVE SPELL scents, since it's my favorite scent :) But that's not what this post is about!

08.17.12 - L'OREAL 24 HR Infallible Eyeshadow

I wanted to test out my new camera on product shots and swatches. The camera I got: Panasonic DMC-SZ7

So far, I'm really loving it! It's not a DSLR, but a regular little point and shoot camera.

Anyway, I decided to test them out on my collection of L'OREAL 24 Infallible Eyeshadows.
