Jill Stuart Haul from Taiwan
As promised, closeups of cosmetics I bought from Taiwan. First up, I shall start with my Jill Stuart items.
The items I bought are two Eye Jelly N and two Mix Blush.
♥ the packaging!
The shades I chose for the Eye Jelly N are 02 gold light (left) and 10 vintage decor (right). So far, I have only tried gold light (and I have been using it almost everyday), which like its name suggests, a light gold loaded with lots of fine shimmer.
After prepping my eyelids with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, I pick up a tiny bit of this Eye Jelly N with my ring finger and using the dab and blend motion, spread it across my eyelids, concentrating more either on the front or the middle of the eyelids (depending on the look I am going for for that particular day), and for the other areas of the eyelid, just lightly blend across without picking up any more product from the pot.
As this shade is very shimmery, I don't suggest applying this shade evenly all over the eyelids nor using too much at one go as it might end up being too bling bling (a mistake that I made when I used it for the first time).
The packaging is so cute~~~!
♥ ♥ ♥ As you all know, all their Mix Blush come attached with a retractable brush.
This is the Mix Blush in shades 06 fresh apricot (above) and 07 lovely tulip (below). Both of which I have not even swatched yet. I don't think I will be using them any time soon, because I of my first-in-first-out rule (I still have a few more blushers to use before its their turn).
I didn't even swatch them at the counter, because my BF (who was waiting for me) was wearing a combination of "can't-you-hurry-up" and "you-are-buying-more?!"and "please-be-faster" look on his face.
Hopefully, I didn't pick out shades that don't suit me!
Look out for the next post, which will be on my NARS haul!
