(U-Pick Eye Colors in Teal, Calyx Green, and Lemondrop)
– U-Pick Eye Colors
Lemondrop (right) is a cream white with a pale champagne undertone and a softly metallic finish, Calyx Green (middle) is a predominantly matte vibrant warm yellow-green, and the softly metallic Teal goes on warmer than it looks in the pan with its yellow-green undertone.
Teal is among the most wearable teals that I have come across in terms of creating a soft daytime look. It works well with Lemondrop, which has a similar warm pale yellow undertone and the same soft metallic finish.
Calyx Green can be a strong accent color when the three shades are used together. It can look quite bold and funky for those with a fair complexion, while I think it can work even better and look really gorgeous for those with a dark complexion.
All the shades go on easily, layer well, and have a good staying power.
– Calyx Exhilarating Lip Gloss in Pink Grapefruit
Pink Grapefruit is one of the three lip gloss shades in the collection, along with Mango and Guava. It is a sheer warm pink-red with nicely sparse shimmery particles, which are mostly red and gold. (I personally prefer lip glosses with sparse shimmery particles to those with intense shimmer.)
It has a pleasantly light watery-gel and non-sticky texture. It goes on smoothly and imparts a wet glossy finish that lasts well. I like the juicy and translucent look that it creates.
It has a very light fruity scent that is not overpowering.
Prescriptives’ summer 2009 collection also includes four shades of Exhilarating Lip Color and Calyx Sheer Exhilarating fragrance (50ml). All items in the collection are limited editions.

Now I am even more seriously hoping that Pearly Lilac will make its way to the UK…

I think this is a fairly good selection of shades, with a nice range of lighter and darker colors. I am sure more shades will be released later on.

– Ingenious Powder Eyes (35 shades)
– Ingenious Jelly Eyes (8 shades)
– Ingenious Powder Cheeks (23 shades)
– Ingenious Jelly Cheeks (6 shades)
(RMK’s cases for eyeshadow and blusher singles used to be sold separately. Now customers don’t have the choice of buying the refills anymore.)
I haven’t seen the new colors in person, but I am suspecting that some of the colors are probably very similar to or the same as the old ones. I was comparing the new Ingenious Jelly Eyes with the old Jelly Eye Color (the RMK English site hasn’t been updated with the new lineup), and it appears that the middle six of the new eight shades look more or less the same as the previous shades of Jelly Eye Color.
At the moment, it seems that the renewal features repackaged items with some new additions. I will bring you more observation and thoughts when I have a chance to see the new lineup.

The series features five variations:
01 Orange Brown Mix
02 Blue Green Mix
03 Silver Pink Mix
04 Lavender Purple Mix
05 Beige Black Mix
I like all the Coffret D’Or eyeshadow palettes I have, so I would certainly be interested in trying this upcoming series.

Do have a look at the photos of all the Color Mixing Eyes palettes on this blog post.
I am still liking 04 Lavender Purple Mix and I am planning to try it. If I like its texture and finish, I might also get 01 Orange Brown Mix.

The collection includes new shades of Addict High Shine, Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect and Dior Vernis. The eyeshadow palette in the photo appears to be the 129 Pearly Lilac that is a Neiman Marcus exclusive in the US. (Many thanks to Betsy at Autumn Masquerade for letting me know this a while ago.) It reminds me very slightly of Coffret D’Or 3D Lighting Eyes in Purple Variation.
I would love to see Pearly Lilac in person, but I am not entirely sure at the moment whether it will be available in the UK. I certainly hope so, and I will update this post when I have more information.
