Paul & Joe " Symphony" Winter Collection 2010

Image
At the beginning of November, I bought a set of the Winter collection Symphony by Paul & Joe at Asos . I picked  # 002 Allegro, it contains: 1 satin pouch, 5 eyeshadows cards and a rose shaped lip gloss, it's so gorgeous that I won't use it! The eyeshadows cards are not really easy to use, you have to use use a blush to apply them.

Tartan Tale Collection - "Play It Cool" palette and "Violet My Love" eye kit

Last week, I went to the Mac corner at Sephora on the Champs-Elysées and I bought two other products from the Tartan Tale collection, I didn't really like the design of the packaging but I love the products inside, the colors are amazingly wearable for Winter time. I bought the "play it cool" palette and "violet my love" eye kit. I only chose purple colors, they were the prettiest according to me. 1st row: Silver Wear (frost), Hold My Gaze (frost), To The Ball (Satin) 2nd row: Altered State (veluxe pearl), Magic Moor (veluxe pearl),  Heather Bells (satin) My favorite eyeshadow in this palette is Hold My Gaze  it has an amazing finish. Fluidline:  Macroviolet, #209 Eye Liner brush, Violet pigment  and Z oom Lash Mascara  (not in the picture)

Last October, I had the opportunity to attend a preview of a gorgeous collection to die for Venomous Villains, I was so excited when this collection came out, I spent so much money on it, oh my gosh ! I went there with my boyfriend, the poor was lost among crazy girls talking about makeup and looking for the rarest Mac items. Cruella devil and Evil Queen Maleficient and Dr Facilier The store was overcrowded, it was totally crazy. My favorite part of this Disney collection is obviously the Maleficient one, I like dark colors, the nail lacquers and mineralize eyeshadows are gorgeous and so original.  Evil Queen is the second one in my choice, Dr Facilier  the Third one, and Cruella the last one. The very first items to be sold out were the Evil Queen blush (Bite of an Apple) and the Maleficient nail lacquers, people wanted them so much than the staff sold the samples during the party. Concerning my personal haul I got: - from Maleficient , the 3 nail lacquers ( Bad Fairy, Formid

Today I went to the Galeries Lafayette with a friend of mine to do our Christmas shopping. Gorgeous decorations were suspended outside both department store. Many different window displays decorations at Le Printemps Amazing peacock theme Dogs with elegant dress coats Windows display decorations for kids. There were so many people, that I just had the time to take one window display. Inside the Galeries Lafayette, the famous glass dome  I have no idea who worked on these Christmas decorations but the result is awesome, and the people who realized that, really managed to enhance the spirit of Christmas. The Christmas Tree is huge and beautiful !!! People look so tiny  it can give an idea of the Christmas Tree size. Galeries Lafayette

GIVE ME LIBERTY OF LONDON

On March 2010 with one of my friend, we had the opportunity to attend a preview of the Liberty of London Collection by Mac. I spent a lot but was happy with my haul. I remembered that I had so much waited for this collection to come out, I was looking for any preview organized by Mac. At the party, I had a little poster with the Liberty pattern in the front and a poem especially written for the launch of the collection. I wanted to buy everything but it was impossible. This is how my makeup addiction started :). So I took the 2 beauty powders: Summer Rose and Shell Pearl,  the 2 blushes: Prim and Proper and Dirty Plum , 2 lipsticks: Ever Hip and Peachstock and 1 lipglass: Perennial High Style Beauty powder packaging Blush Packaging Peachstock lippy Dirty Plum blush Prim and Proper  blush Peachstock  lipstick and  Perennial High Style  lipglass

MAC MINERALIZE EYESHADOWS

Mac Mineralize Eyeshadows are my favorite ones, you can use them dry or wet and the colors are much better than the regular shadows. My collection is starting to grow fast, I really got into MAC 8 months ago I would say, it all started with the "Give Me Liberty of London" collection launched on March 2010. I fell in love with this marvellous packaging, and it was the first that this brand caught my attention.
