Givenchy Le Prisme Quartet Swatches + FOTD

It was a sunny day in New York and I finally got a chance to take swatch pics for the Givenchy Le Prisme Quartets. I swatched them as they appear in the pan with no primer.


L->R: Pastel Model, Khaki Egerie, Siena Silhouette, Blue Collection, Midnight Look

Closer Look:

L->R: Pastel Model, Khaki Egerie, Siena Silhouette


L->R: Blue Collection and Midnight Look

All the shadows applied super smooth and blended easily. My favorites are Blue Collection and Midnight Look-I love the lower right color in both. My least loved was Pastel Model-the colors were the sheerest (it was also super similar to the Clarins Quartet in Celestial which I already own).

Here was my fotd using Blue Collection:

Shiseido Perfect Rouge and Luminizing Satin Eye Color

I first tried out the Shiseido Perfect Rouge and Luminizing Satin Eye Color in the Fall but never got around to posting about it. For the Spring, 5 new eye colors were released along with new finishes for the Perfect Rouge line and a new line of lip glosses.

The Luminizing Satin Eye colors are really nice shadows. They go on smooth, have nice subtle shimmer, good pigmentation and lasting power. The first one I had purchased was VI399 (Amethyst), which is a Bloomingdale's exclusive.


Here are a few of the new Spring 2010 colors- 1st row: BL223 (Sky-cornflower blue), GR222(Fondant-seafoam green) 2nd row: PK319(Peach-light golden pink) and VI720(Ghost-grey violet)


Swatches:


The Perfect Rouge lipsticks are quite comfortable lipstick. They feel moisturizing and glide nicely. For Spring 2010, the glowing matte finish and tender sheer finish were released. Here are the lipsticks I currently own(l->r): RS320(Fuchsia), PK421 (Rose Quartz-light blue pink), PK307 (Tourmaline-medium pink) and PK 224(Sugar Babe-matte coral)



PK224 (Sugar Babe) is one of the glowing mattes. It's not as drying as other true matte lipsticks I've tried and does go on in a translucent suede kind of way.

The other new lip product released was the Luminizing Lip Gloss. It's a very light and non-sticky gloss. For me the texture was definitely very silky, almost too silky and verging on watery, but I got use to it. The gloss goes on very nicely and leaves lips feeling moisturized. I picked up PK303(Bellini) and PK406(Pop Life).


Swatches for the lip products:

Top row (l->r): RS320(Fuchsia), PK421 (Rose Quartz),
PK307 (Tourmaline) and PK 224(Sugar Babe)
Middle row: PK406 (Pop Life)
Bottom row: PK303 (Bellini)
