It's been a while since I posted a look, but now that my allergies are somewhat under control, and the skin around my eyes is beginning to heal, I'm able to post today's look :)

Over the last two months, I've made numerous Addiction Purchases, and I've decided to split them up into several posts.

Here is the first of many :D


 From left to right: Shangri-la Eyeshadow (2,100 yen ), African Sunset Blush (2,940 yen), African Sunset Cheek Stick (2,940 yen).

Shangri-la Eyeshadow: A rusty pinkish-copper red frost.

African Sunset Blush: A peachy-tangerine with a gorgeous gold sheen.

    This may be my favourite orangey look of the season -- and there have been a lot of those!

    Can I request a post on how to achieve your current haircolour? It's magical

  2. immensely gorgeous look! I've been wondering if African Sunset would work for me but now I think it will :-o the question is... which to get, the blush or the cheek stick? hm.

    1. Thank you Stephanie,

      I was going to email you to let you know this post was up, but you beat me to it :P

      Wow, that's tough...my first reaction is to go for this blush (it's sooooo velvety smooth), but you'll get more bang for your buck with the cheek stick, since it can be used on the eyes,cheeks, and lips.

      get both!

    1. Hey Jacq!

      did you visit my friend at the addiction counter? Can't wait to see what goodies you got :)

    2. I was shy and I didn't communicate with any of the saleslady at the counter! All I did was swatching crazily with both of my hands and making my own decision. But they were so kind they keep offering me cotton with make up remover when my hands were over-swatched! haha

      I picked up 2 blushes, 2 eyeshadows (and a case to hold them). 1 new cream eyeshadow, 1 lipstick, 1 nail polish, that's all. The sales lady throw in a bunch of base/foundation samples for me! Spent only 19,xxx yen at Addiction. I spent way more at Suqqu!!!

      When I have time I will post about them, I am enjoying the blushes and lipstick very much!!!

    3. No way! Too funny, I'm actually friends with most of the girls at addiction and Laduree.

      I've bought sooooo much addiction lately, that I believe I almost own all the eyeshadows.

  7. Hi I am loving your posts esp the addiction ones! I found it searching for addiction swatches and am having so much fun looking back through all your posts!

    I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. How would you say the addiction eyeshadows compare to Rouge Bunny Rouge's? I recently purchased some RBR and I LOVE LOVE them. Am reading such great things about addiction too though so thought I should try. Also the addiction blushes how do you think they compare to RMK blush and the majolica Majorca (I just read your post on these how cute are those tins?).

    Also do you know a good place to order the addiction online from? (I'm in Australia)

    Looking forward to reading the rest of your past posts and future ones. Which brings me to last question sorry may be a silly one. How do I follow your blog I can't seem to work it out?

    Thanks again for great reading.

    1. Thank you Becs, glad you enjoy my posts!

      Wow, that's a tough question. I LOVE both brands, and I'd say they're very similar to one another. Some of the Addiction eye shadows may be a bit more pigmented. Don't get me wrong, I love the RMK and Majolica Majorca blushers, but the Addiction blushers are much better! SOOOOO finely milled, and velvety on the skin.

      If you want to get your hands on any of these products, Just let me know :)

      What error message are you having when you're trying to follow?
