For practical reason, I picked up EX 01 - Shelly Ocean.^^


Each shadow has letters printed on it.  However, these letters are so 'fragile' and fade away easily.
The case has LUNASOL logo over it, very uniquely Lunasol.   



Limited edition - EX01 Shelly Ocean (7g) at S$77
Japan retail price (printed on the box) is Yen 5,000 which is almost equivalent to S$77 (inclusive of 7% GST)^^       

The how-to-use instruction is enclosed in the box

From left to right:

Main colour - Light beige

Nuance colour - beige with gold undertone

High light colour - sheer beige

Shade colour - deep beige with noticeable glitters

                          (great for smoky eyes) 

I really amazed by the pigmentation of the eye shadows when I swatched it.  It is a warm tone with generous amount of shimmers (except for deep beige which has noticeable glitters).  The texture of the eye shadow is surprisingly silky and smooth which I absolutely love!  The colours also show up instantly with just one swatch (especially deep beige).  Either use dry or wet, it can be applied alone or together with eye shadow to create the perfect deeply-nuanced eyes.  I do notice that this Summer collection has less shimmery than their past collections, that's why I love about this collection.   

If you prefer a natural and fresh look, this palette is definitely for you.  It is a must-have Summer essentials for sure!!

P/s I'm still contemplating whether to get EX02 vacation ocean, should I or shouldn't I?

Love package from Cutie Fishball ~ Part 1 (Nail Polish)

Following up on my last post (Love package from Cutie Fishball).  Here's part 1 - O.P.I. Nail Polish. 

Rosy Future and I juggle.. men (limited edition)



I juggle.. men is a clear shade with fine pink particle in it, definitely great for base and top coat. 



Rosy Future is a soft pink shade with purple undertone. 



Rosy future -  applied two coats, left a translucent hint of soft pink on my nails.
Perfect for french manicures!

Applied "I juggle men" as a top coat, making the soft pink looks alluring 

What's great about OPI nail polish is it contains no DBP, toluene, or formaldehyde, and features OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application.  I like the pro-wide brush making it easier to apply and it dries well too! 

Lovely package from Cutie Fishball ^___^

Surprisingly, I've never owned any Dior lipstick before.  Lipsticks that I've used are Clinique, Estee Lauder, Revlon, MAC, Shiseido Maquillage, other misc. brands and the recent one is Chanel.  Under the deep influence of YT guru Fuzkittie, followed by my buddy CutieFishball, Misojenny mei mei and Jess:), I finally got my hands on Dior Addict Lipstick!

Dior Addict lipstick is must-have fashion accessory.  Why?  This is because each shade represents a woman's fashion style!  For example, pick 561 Baby Rose for a innocence and seductive baby doll look as this shade reflects as "A tender, fleeting pink, paying homage to the baby doll look, feigning innocence for disarming seduction".  My pick of 621 Granville reflected as "A rosewood shade with mauve acents, paying homage to the ever-inspiring charm of lost paradises and memories of youth", very interesting fashion style:).

621 Granville - S$ 42 (3.5g)



 

Dior addict has won me over when I tried it on.  It glides on smoothly (maybe due to gel-like texture) with beautiful shine effect.   The texture is creamy and moisturising.  The transparent-meets-opaque silver casing as compared to Chanel Rouge Coco Shine's classic dark casing, is definitely more appealing, chic and distinctive (indeed "be Iconic!").  621 Granville is definitely a flattering colour for me (as compared to Chanel #62 Monte Carlo).  Gosh, I'm addicted to Dior Addict now!
