Lancôme Je Ne Sais Quoi Collection

Oh You may miss out on this if your not paying attention but I was lucky enough to be in "Lordies" (Lord and Taylor) and found this wonderful collection. Lancôme calls it "Je Ne Sais Quoi" and introduced 3 matte Brightening eyeshadow palettes and 5 gorgeous single shadows! I was tempted to buy the whole collection as it was just laid out but I'm going to have to save my pennies to get all 3 palettes.

Here go some pictures:

There is one eyebrow pencil in the display as well as their staple Artliner and lash primer.

The 3 eyeshadow palettes (Beige Brûlée, Chocolate Amande, and French Nude) are matte but they have one extremely sparkly top coat (marked by the Lancôme logo imprint) shade which takes the whole cake for me . Chocolate Amande has a little more of a gold pearl shimmer in it but is not in anyway glittery. The liner shades are also of a "velux pearl" consistency and kind of throw off of the whole matte idea IMO but still gorgeous anyway. If your looking for a cheap alternative to these luxurious ladies why not try to find the elusive Maybelline "Dare To Go Nude" collection that recently launched at drugstores the Maybelline collection may not hit mainstream stores until March but keep your eyes open.

The singles are so pretty if you're somebody who loves neutral colors then you're going to definitely want everyone of these guys. My favorite in particular is the taupe eyeshadow Eclair it's so so shimmery I can't get over it, just like the most amazingly gorgeous sparkly thing I have ever seen. The following pictures include swatches of the 5 single shadows and close ups.

Estee Lauder Gilded Rose Set

Bought these a while ago but I am just posting these as a review. These are a set of eyeshadows and marbleized shimmer powder. The eyeshadows come gilded but the gold is not incorporated into the shadows. These are satin colors one light baby pink, a magenta pink, a peachy tan pink, and the fourth is a tawny rose color. Super close to matte powders and a little disappointing because the "rose gold" overlay comes right off with one swipe. The colors are very nice though even if the overlay goes away. The marble shimmer powder feels good on my skin but as I have some tan left on my skin the rose blends a little bit too much. So a fair skin or yellowed skin will really benefit from the color in the marble if you want to use it as a blush. Otherwise the shimmer looks good as a general highlight. I did not buy both at the same time I got them from my local CCO for around 16.00 a piece. Compared to retail Estee Lauder prices this is very cheap. I wished there was a rose gold match...

I was wondering if it wa sheer because it was the first time I used it or if it will stay sheer? The counter attendant used the same foundation (I think) and it was atleast medium but I'll keep using it so that I can find out.
