Here is a quick look at NARS‘ spring 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…

I am sure most of you have seen Chanel‘s Les Perles de Chanel makeup collection for spring 2011, either on-line or in person. The limited-edition star item of the collection is the Ombres Perlées de Chanel palette, and I am looking forward to seeing it in person.
In addition, for spring 2011, Chanel will release the Tourbillon D’Éclat de Chanel makeup collection to go alongside the new whitening skincare range in Asia. The star item of this collection is Poudre Lumière Perle (top in photo below).

Joining the winter sale madness, I stopped by Paul & Joe at Harrods and Fenwick a couple of days ago. (Paul & Joe’s sale items are usually recently discontinued products, soon-to-be discontinued products, and surplus stock, and they are usually (almost always) 50% off their full retail prices. (Have a look at this post for more information on seasonal sales on cosmetics in the UK.))
All the items I got this time are 50% off retail prices. I would not have purchased these items at their full prices (possibly with the exception of the Body Milk), but, with the considerable discounts, I was very happy to bring home and try these products:
