The Last Rose Of Summer

For the last eleven days, I've been trying to get this post up. But, with work, and all of the above, I've been too mentally exhausted to go through all the pictures and look for the ones that are not as blurred (lens still on the fritz), and write something. Today, I'm finally able to give birth to this laborious post.

For comments and swatches of Givenchy's Le Prismissime Euphoric Pink Lip & Cheek Palette, please click here.

Givenchy Le Prisme 86 Rose Attraction (¥7,245/$71.55).

Givenchy's Over Rose S/S 2014 Collection was another beautifully edited release from the brand. The 86 Rose Attraction quad has two satin eyeshadows on the top row, and the bottom row has two glitter eyeshadows that, when layered, accent the lid wonderfully.

First swatch: a brown based lilac-taupe.

Second swatch: a rosy-pink peach.

Third swatch: a glittery, blue-based, barbie pink.

Fourth swatch: a glittery, icy peach.

Ombre Couture Cream Eyeshadow: 3 Rose Dentelle, 5 Taupe Velours, 8 Prune Taffetas (¥3,360).

Back in January, I purchased 3 Rose Dentelle, 5 Taupe Velours, and 8 Prune Taffetas, as I thought they would pair perfectly with the Over Rose Collection. I've worn the Ombre Couture cream eyeshadows every which way: as a base, as an eye shadow, on top of other shadows, as a liner, etc. The Ombre Coutures have an airy texture, and once applied, give a blurred-out wash of color that can be intensified; and what I love most, they don't dry out or emphasize dryness on the lids. 3 Rose Dentelle, 5 Taupe Velours, 8 Prune Taffetas were my first Ombre Coutures, but they definitely have not been my last; I've add several more to my collection.
