Giorgio Armani’s Spring 2011 Collection of Eyes to Kill Silk Eyeshadows are arriving in Australia soon. I can’t wait to get hold of them. In the meantime, I have rekindled my love for the Eyes to Kill eye shadows that I bought from Giorgio Armani’s 2010 Holiday Collection. I might as well do a quick review and swatches of them to share my appreciation of these beautiful eye shadows.
The texture of these are beyond amazing. They glide on your skin like a soft cream shadow, and they are a dream to blend like a silky powder shadow. They are super pigmented when applied by fingers or they can be applied by brushes to sheer them out. The color, the sheen, the sparkle last on me for the whole day without any creases.
I bought 2 Eyes to Kill silk eye shadows from the 2010 Holiday Collection.
No 15 NOIGA has an intense metallic sparkle finish.
No 13 NOIFA has a velvety matte finish.
Swatches on my hand. No 15 is a warm gold with a khaki undertone. No 13 appears navy from the pan, but is more of a charcoal black on the skin.

I went to a boat party on Saturday night and this is the makeup I wore. I like to wear false eyelashes to parties just to add a touch of glamorous effect to my makeup. I normally go for neutral eye shadows to balance the dramatic effect of false eyelashes so I don’t end up looking like a drag queen.
Eye makeup details:
Eyeshadow used: my favourite Nars neutral Eyeshadow Duo in Kalahari
I used 2 pairs of false eyelashes!

– Nars Multiple Tint in Cadaques on my cheeks
– Nars Turkish Delight on my lips

It is the time of the year when the new spring makeup collections are arriving in Australia. This probably is the time of the year I anticipated with excitement the most (other than public holidays!), as I LOVE spring inspired hues seen in each collection, they are beautiful to be collected yet subtle and natural enough to wear throughout all seasons.
Today I like to talk about Ombres Perlees de Chanel Palette, which has been the talk of the town amongst beauty bloggers for a while. I had this palette for a week now and I can say it totally lived up to its hype. The beauty of this palette is its versatility. These eye shadows can be worn sheer as well as dramatic due to its creamy texture that can be built to your desire.

I did a subtle eye makeup with this palette today. It takes no effort to apply these cream textured eye shadows – the easiest way is to apply them with your fingers. I have yet found a brush that picks up the eyeshadow well considering I have an extensive collection of makeup brushes. Please do let me know your preferred brush.
Here are some close-up shots of my eyes:
I used:
a: pink pearl
b: a very sheer wash of the green pearl
c: black pearl on the outer corner
d: white pearl on the tear duct
e: the purple pearl along the lower lash line
Now let’s move on to the products I used on my face. My FOTD is totally inspired by the makeup worn by the model in the Chanel spring 2011 makeup campaign, so most products I used are Chanels.
Face: Chanel Mat Lumiere Foundation and Chanel Illuminating Makeup Base
Cheeks and Lip: Mac Blush in Pinch O Peach and Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in 42
Finished Look!
