SUNFLOWER & EVENING PRIMROSE LONG WEARING EYESHADOW

It is a defined-eyes affair this summer with rich, bold, bright glowing shades. Korres is extending its long-wearing Sunflower & Evening Primrose Eyeshadow collection with five new shimmering colours; opt for a sheer wash of pink, bronze, gold or green with a gentle natural-ingredients-based formula that does not burden the skin.

Velvety, easy to apply pressed eyeshadow, with sunflower and evening primrose oils that care for the delicate eye area


SPRING/ SUMMER SHADES
: 62 Light Pink / 31 Bronze Brown / 25 Golden41 Lime / 43 Light Green


I was kindly sent three new spring/summer eyeshadows to try in  62 Light Pink , 31 Bronze Brown  and  25 Golden.



Korres products have this super natural clean appearance and packaging which scream minimalism. Like all Korres products , packaging for  these eyeshadows aren't any exception, They're packaged in little thin, square, flip-open containers,Very easy to use and very light weight to carry.
 These eyeshadows are silky, buttery,  and OH SO smooth. The pigmentation is great. these shadows are very blend able.Korres shadows come in a wide range of colors, from bronzed beauty to a Beach beauty, from beautiful browns to vibrant blues. There are
16 other beautiful wearable shades
15 Nude / 14 Ivory / 28 Golden Brown / 66 Pink / 55 Metallic Grey / 58 Graphite Grey / 36 Brun / 47 Olive Green/
88 Midnight Blue / 49 Cypress Green/ 27 Golden Bronze/ 75 Purple/ 77 Plum / 84 Sky Blue / 10 White / 51 Silver.One more thing , I love about Korres eye shadows is that, they have great Staying power, Its  excellent when used over a good eyeshadow primer. The shimmer in these is also not overpowering and more satiny than anything.I adore the subtleness of these eyeshadows, you can see that how beautiful they look in swatches, They are shimmery enough not to make you a disco ball,long wear and vibrant.

Did You know?!!??

Mineral Silk Eyeshadows-review-swatches and Eotd

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Sunday, April 18, 2010 3 comments


When i was sent a package from De Nelson - Owner Mineral Silk ,i was beyond excited, (i get excited every time i get a package). I love colors, and let me tell you my lovlies these eyeshadows are colorful( with a capital C)  I love the color and brightness of the eye shadow. It’s easy to apply on your eyes, looks

great and very bright colors.ou can see your eyes bright and sparkly when you apply this eye

shadow. It’s not too much sparkle though. I think it makes me look elegant, pretty and it

makes my eyes look very bright, big and pretty. I am pretty happy with my mineral silk

eyeshadows as they blend easily, do not smudge much and have pretty good staying

power.Mineral silk eyeshadow are highly pigmented.
 
 

Oyster - This isnt the color of the outside of the oyster which is grey or tan but the beautiful color of the inside of the Oyster. With Iridescent sparkes that catch the light with every blink, you are going to love this colorto play up your eyes! Apply just below the Brow Bone for an eye opening experience!

Pink Diamonds - The Pink Diamond is the world's most rare and valuable diamond. We think our Eye shadow is going to be its rival. With an endless shimmer this shadow is not for the faint of heart. Be prepared to be looked at when you wear this one, we even threw in a little "24 karat" to give it a little extra bling!

Stainless Steel - Intense old world silver that can give you that smokey eye look in minutes.  Great for all over the lid or as an eyeliner when applied wet with a brush!  My new favorite color and you wont see fingerprints or smudges left behind on this stainless steel.
 
Medallion - No Need to fly to Rome and start digging up lost artifacts like the Medallions with Alexander the Greats portrait on them. Just apply this EyeShadow that has a mixture of Copper, Gold and Bronze and your eyes will be worth looking at more than any silly old Coin

Dragonfly - A beautiful new green that when brushed on dry looks iridescent like a dragonflies wings in the sun.  Apply it with wet  with either water or our eyeliner sealer and you will get a beautiful light jade green with sheen.
Amethyst - Just like its gems namesake this is a Beautiful Deep Wine Color with Rich Sparkes added.

Basic Black - Just like everyone needs that Perfect Little Black Dress, the same goes for this Eyeshadow that works great as a Eyeliner or Eyebrow color!
Dark Chocolate - Yum! Just like a Hersheys Chocolate Candy Bar! But this one wont melt when it touches your skin!

Mineral Makeup Eye Candy Eye Shadows  

Lemonhead: Bright summery yellow 

Blueberry Freeze:is frosty bluish beauty

Limeade:is sparkly greeny lime with a twist  
 Gossipy Grape:is beautiful bright grapy pruple

I am wearing Limeade , oyster and  gossipy grape on my eyes. more pics in next post.....!!!!

Korres ABYSSINIA Dramatically volumizing mascara in PLUM

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Saturday, April 17, 2010 4 comments


Properties

  • Dramatically volumizing mascara with Abyssinia Oil, for lush, incredible dramatic look
    • Abyssinia Oil, rich in fatty acids ,provides Natural luster and emollient feeling on the lashes while offering excellent pigment for the most dramatic look
    • Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 deeply condition lashes to prevent breakage.
    • Bamboo extract strengthens and smoothes the outer layer of the lashes

( my eyes!! look soo tired)


I also was sent the Abyssinia Oil mascara to try from Korres.This mascara is Described as Dramatically volumizing. Ok  so i have never tried any other color in mascara but only Black, and when i saw Plum, i was jumping like a little girl,I am 28 and there is a child in everyone(OK!!), so i grabbed it and applied.It lengthens and I liked it, but I didn't see any thickening of my lashes. I liked that it didn’t clump at all as i coated multiple layers to get the plum-iest color.The formula is thin and hydrating, making it easier than most to layer.
I also liked the brush, it was slender which makes it easy to handle and makes the application a breeze  even at the tightest corner without making a mess. The bristles are good in term of separating my lashes and keeping them curl,it coats my lashes all the way to to tips.
I loved the plum shade. Its fun and funky.i was surprised as Plum looks subtle, and not very purple as a matter of fact.The color is so subtle that you have to look closely in the light to see it .

Hot Tips:

Featured Shade:#4 Plum Try a colored mascara to really pop the whites of the eyes and create interest. This shade looks amazing with a natural look or adds a subtle burst of color on
a dark smoky eye. 

The mascara Delivers three things: Gives beautiful plum/ purple color, lengthening lashes dramatically and gives a curl all .
Do you keep it safe and boring with black mascara? or deep down you want to try plum/blue/brown/ all rainbow colors??

I won!!!!

Hi-Fi Cosmetics - Gel Blush Amore Review , Photos & Swatches

Posted by Sarah Ali / Glossicious at Thursday, April 15, 2010 10 comments
I am a big fan of gel blushes as they look more flattering on my very warm skin tone.As we know corals are so gonna be in 2010 Trend  this summer so i present you

Hi Fi Concentrated Gel Blush in Amore- bright coral with golden flecks is my new found LOVE
I was about to pass out when i got HIFI cosmetics package when i came back home from Karachi trip few days ago and first thing i grabbed and tried on my skin was this B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L gel blush

Etsy HIFI cosmetics says:

These can be applied VERY lightly for a sheer wash of color, or you can build for more intense color. Keep in mind these are very concentrated, so when using on the face, use sparingly, or you can end up looking like a clown...unless that's what you're going for!!! :)A helpful hint in using these is to stick with a similar consistency all over the face. Applying any gel product over a powder can cause uneven application and splotchiness, so these work best on moisturized, primed, or bare skin...or over a liquid foundation BEFORE applying powder. Also, as with any gel product, be sure to keep the jar(s) sealed tightly to prevent evaporation and drying out.




I have the color Amore, which is a bright coral with golden flecks
The other colors are Gel Blush Concentrate - GET IT ON (a cool mauve) and Gel Blush Concentrate - RESPECT (RESPECT is a deep reddish bronze. Great for darker complexions!).
which is a beautiful shimmering orange-ish coral with golden sparks. This gel blush is AHMZIING! You only need a tiny bit to get a lovely sheer flush of color or if you want it more dramatic touch you can just layer it.Its very build able.
On the cheeks it’s best to use a small amount first and if needed work up until you get the desired color. I was almost terrified before application because it look so bright in the sample jar, Instead, it's a beautiful coral color; goes on very very sheer and is moisturizing.
It is not too sticky and doesn't dry too quickly so it blends into my skin nicely.
I love it and i wish i had paypal or any method to order rest of the two gel blushes and amore in full size. YES i loved it this much.





Whats your fav orangish-coral blush?

FTC:this was sent among some other hifi cosmetics products for a review
