Onto the swatches: Note that all the swatches have been done over clear & clean skin, no primers, no mosturizer, nada!
First is The Paris Collection Eye and Cheek palette:
From left to right: La Tour Eiffel, Louvre, Sacré-cœur, Seine, Champs Elysées, Notre-Dame |
La Tour Eiffel is a beautiful
colour, dark taupish grey, or greish taupe :) with great pigmentation and
opacity. This was my favourite of the palette. Another great, great
colour is Notre-Dame.
Champs Elysées
is a very very pale milky pink matte, which would have been perfect for
highlighting, IF there wouldn't have been the
subtle-ever-falling-out-glitter, that actually, in my opinion, ruins all the
matte effect and you end up getting micro glitter all over the place.
Champs Elysées was also the one with less opacity and payoff, and the
glitter (why Catrice?) made it feel a little gritty. For the rest, the
Paris eyeshadows were all very soft, smooth application, and
good pigmentation and opacity.
The Blushes for left to right: Moulin Rouge, Arc de triomph |
The Paris blushes are quite good,in fact I think they're the best of the three palettes. Nevertheless, you could find better blushes in drugstores. Still, they're soft and their pigmentation is quite good, though not the best you'd find out there. The good thing is that they're actually wearable, and not like other combined palettes I own. Moulin Rouge has a little golden shimmer, but is discreet. Arc the Triomph is very soft and has good pigmentation. I haven't worn these very long time, so I couldn't say about fading away soon or not.
Love the beautiful boxes! <3
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm such a sucker for packaging :P lol!
DeleteI have to agree with Little miss, the packaging is wonderful! I really like the eye colours from San Francisco Collection Eye and Cheek palette but I'd really want the blush colours from the first palette. I am a fussy one! I'd snap those blushes up if I could! xx
