Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill

Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill in Shade 27 After lemming and many bouts of ooh-ahhings over swatches on other blogs, I have finally landed one Giorgio Armani eyes to kill! Ingredients list The eyes to kill comes in a weighty glass pot with a black plastic screw on cap. Eyes to Kill in Shade 27 The shade is only a number printed on the bottom of the glass pot. It's such a pity, why Giorgio Armani created such a pretty eyeshadow but didn't put a name to it? Inside the pot, there is a cap which helps to keep the cream/mousse eyeshadow compact and prevents it from drying out. In the pot, shade 27 is a complex mixture of red, pewter pigments with very fine shimmer. Swatch of Shade 27 In short, shade 27 blends out to be a little purplish, reddish kind of pewter color, and it stays very well on the eyelids. It can be applied as a mono eyeshadow, or be used as a base for smokey eyes effect. A very well done eyeshadow that is worth every cent it cost.

Yadah Lip Crayon

Thanks to a groupon special, I managed to get a set of 5-Piece Lip Crayon + Zipper Pouch by Yadah at $29.90 instead of the usual price of $62.30. There were three zipper pouch styles to choose from (Yellow, Green and Checkered) and I chose the green version. Yadah 5-Piece Lip Crayon + Sharpener + Zipper Pouch 1.Pink Tint, 2.Cherry Red, 3.Rose Pink, 4.Lovely Pink, 5. Fresh Orange Made in Korea, these lip crayons gives off vivid, glossy colours, while keeping the lips moist. They are paraben free and contain vitamin C and E to keep lips soft and shiny. The colours are quite pigmented, especially the Cherry Red and Fresh Orange lip crayon, giving a loud red and bright orange on my lips. So until I learn how to wear such strong colors, I guess those two colors will be left untouched (any ideas on how to tone down the colours?). My favourite of the lot, Pink Tint! My favourite colour of the lot has to be the Pink Tint! It gives me a my lips but better look, is easy t
