When Iris was away in the UK and the US recently, she helped me to purchase a number of makeup lovelies. Several of these beauties are actually gifts from her and I was very touched when she surprised me with them – not only was she extremely generous, she’d also picked some very apt items for me!
She bought:
- Accessorize Icon Eye Shadow in Purple Promise – a pretty smokey purple
- Accessorize Merged Eye Shadow in Pink Planet – a beautiful baked shadow with pink and lavender swirls
- Accessorize Nail Polish in Mermaid – a stunning sparkly golden turquoise
- Barry M Nail Paint in Dusky Mauve – a smokey greyed purple that is apparently a dupe of Chanel Paradoxal
- Deborah Lippmann Nail Lacquer in Across the Universe – an amazing inky-blue infused with hexagonal reflective teal glitter
- Illasmasqua Powder Blusher in Thrust – a cool-toned plum-pink matte blush
- Physicians Formula Glow & Mood Boosting Blush – a gorgeous blush with raised hearts in varying shades of pink
- Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in Blue Eye Candy – a palette of interesting blues
- Sleek The Primer Palette – a colourful eyeshadow base palette to pop rainbow hues
- Stila Make Me Blush Palette – another blush palette of hearts but with a golden touch
- Tokidoki Gelato Lip Balm Stain in Skeletrina – a cute grape-coloured lipstain
Everything is exquisite and this beauty bounty is truly a treat. Thank you, dear Iris! ♥
omg omg your lippman nail polish!!!! So hard to find that colour!!!
Hi Cheryn,
It’s sold out on the Deborah Lippmann webby too! :) I’m very blessed to have a friend like Iris. :)
You’re more than welcome *hugs* Skeletrina looks grape in the tube but it actually applies almost fuschia pink! And it really lasts the whole day as a stain. Do try out the beauty loot soon!
Thank you, thank you, Iris!
I tried the Illamasqua today (forgot to tell you) – SO pigmented! Had to tone it down with the Shiseido white highlighter from Spring 2010. It works well like that.
Now I’m very curious about Skeletrina; will use it as soon as I can. ;)
I know you love the hearts like I do. What a beautiful collection of items. I’ll be looking forward to your reviews – especially of the Sleek Primer palette.
Hi Marcia,
Now I only need one of the MAC heart blushes from Quite Cute to round off the heart blush collection! ;) I love everything she gave me – they’re gorgeous, plus many of them are HTF items.
WOWEEEE!! Lots of lovely stuff to play with :)
Hi Ling,
I know! Am looking forward to trying everything out. :)
Hi Mag. Can I use this gorgeous pix for my wallpaper or background? ;-)
I get a kick out of seeing everything still in their original packaging! :-) Nice work with the photography! Cheers!
