I'm a sucker for Black Current scents...this one keeps it complex and sophisticated with musk, chypre, florals and wood.

Shiseido Veiled Rouge Lipstick in 302 Rosalie and 707 Mischief Review and Swatches

A very pretty formula with a high sheen and barely metallic finish.  Long lasting?  Not in the way I think but they do last for a good almost three hours which given the lightness of the formula is actually impressive.  And they fade as opposed to wear, meaning after about two hours they start looking more like a stain than a lipstick.

Rosalie is a medium warm pink with just a touch of coral.  This one wears less well for me.  Mischief is a vibrant light red, with a pink and blue undertone.  Lovely shade.

These are unique and I don't own any formula quite like them.  But not everyone will like them as the seem more of a gel or gellee lipsticks as opposed to a traditional one.  They are very pigmented though Rosalie is light.

Shu Uemura Sixteen Shades of Nude Eyeshadow Palette and Swatches

Shadows range from mattes, to metallics, to subtle shimmers.  Even most mattes have a few micro shimmers in them.  And the shades are all complex, with shifting changes in color.  Lovely textured shadows, that apply and blend beautifully.  A lot of lighter shades in the palette though you get plenty of darker and mid toned ones.

This palette is big!  And limited edition.

The different finishes and color gradients make creating illusions of depth on the eye lid easier.

Finco A and J Anti Wrinkle Skincare Line Review and Swatches

Beautiful brand with powerful and natural anti aging ingredients.
