I should admit, I giggled a bit when I checked out the motivation behind the new L’Occitane Pivoine Flora collection. They phone call it “a graceful peony which dances like a ballerina in the Mediterranean breeze.” Okay, I’m a card-carrying queen of cheese, as well as I online for Hallmark movies, however that may even be as well much queso for me.
Well, that’s what I thought…until I set my eyes on the restricted edition release. The delicate pastels, watercolor imagery as well as nubby structure on the compacts all paint a photo in my mind that lines up relatively well with the one L’Occitane describes. It’s a dainty (albeit cheesy) world full of floating flowers as well as other things that are soft, wonderful as well as feminine — extremely Paul & Joe satisfies old-school Stila — as well as it’s a gaw-geous visual feast for any type of packaging lover’s eyes.

This was my very first liaison with L’Occitane makeup, however from what I’ve seen here, the eyeshadows bear a strong resemblance to Stila’s. I think about that a quite great thing. They have a likewise soft, powdery structure as well as sheer-to-medium pigmentation. All four of the shades blend well, however I do notice some minor after effects below my eyes. used atop a layer of reliable NARS Pro-Prime, they last about six hours without any type of creasing, as well as with very little fading, on me (I have combination skin).
Oh, if you’re a useful gal (or a full-on clean freak), the combination appears to be packaged into something made from cardboard. It looks great, however I question exactly how it’ll hold as much as routine use. I can see it choosing up any type of leftover foundation, powder as well as makeup on my hands, as well as I have a feeling it might be a genuine PIA to keep clean.
I like these colors well enough, however I can’t state I’m in love. I have a feeling they’ll bloom much better on lighter lasses (especially ones who radiate in cool-toned pinks as well as purples) than on gals with tans like me.
PRICE: $26 (or $6.50 a pan)

S. exactly how was the rest of your Monday? Did you occur to get the positive energy I beamed to you with the screen in the Monday Poll (I failed to remember to add shipment confirmation).
Now I plan to unwind for few minutes on the couch with a little tub of frozen yogurt, a fat tabby as well as the remote. Doesn’t that noise nice?
