Kanebo Lavshuca Star Decoration Eyes BR-1 1

.

Kanebo Lavshuca‘s Star Decoration Eyes series is from the line’s winter 2010 makeup collection. As soon as I came across images of the palettes, I thought I would definitely get one of them. The choice was between BR-1 and PU-1, and, because I don’t really like purple paired with grey (greys are usually too cool for me), I went for BR-1.

The case has the same length and width as those of Eye Color Select palettes, but it is a little thicker, which I like.

NARS Spring 2011 Makeup 1(images/info from www.urcosme.com)

Here is a quick look at NARSspring 2011 makeup collection. One item that really caught my eye is the limited-edition Trio Eyeshadow in Calanque (pictured above and below).

I generally prefer neutral shades from Japanese brands to those from western brands, as those from western brands are often too warm, too cool, too matte or too frosty for me. But since the colors, finish and texture of Duo Eyeshadow in Kalahari do appeal to me, I am looking forward to Calanque. The amount of warmth and the finish will be the deciding factors…
