Sweetscents: Christmas 2008 collection – part 1Sweetscents: Christmas 2008 kolekcija – 1.del

Last week we received Sweetcents order we were looking forward to for the last few weeks. We ordered few sets of Sweetscents’s Christmas collection mineral eyeshadows.

They come packed in 5g jars and cost between 6 and 17 dollars for set.

LE Christmas 2008 collection is available until 31th January.

We ordered following sets: Begonia Trio, Egyptian Nile, Autumn Splendor, Essential Basics, Caribbean Colors, Earth Tones Low Luster, Metallics and Blue Trio.

Our new eyeshadows will be divided into a series of posts. In each post I’ll publish swatches from the chosen set and one of Maestra’s make-ups in which she’ll use at least one color from the set.

Each picture consists from three swatches. From top to bottom: eyeshadow with no base, over UDPP, last one is foiled with face toner.

The first set will be Begonia Trio: Begonia Nearly Matt, Cornflower and Popsicle.

Begonia is light pink with orange undertone. It is very finely ground and not completely matte – you can see very fine shimmer sparkling in there. If you apply it sheer it’s almost perfect allover shadow for fair toned skin.

If you are looking for a nice orange eyeshadow, Cornflower is the right choice. Discreet gold-copperish shimmer turns this shadow from wild orange color to wearable orange eyeshadow which will brighten your make up.

When I first saw Popsicle, I said, this is really pink pink. But I was pleasantly surprised. With dry application you get lovely pink color that you can use in day make-up. This is one of those multipurpose pigments – you can use as an eyeshadow, blush or mix it with lip gloss.

And for the end the best part – Maestra’s make up with Popsicle:

Prejšnji teden smo dobile nekaj kompletov mineralnih senčil Sweetscents-ove božične kolekcije za leto 2008, ki smo jih naročile že lani in smo jih že zelo nestrpno pričakovale.

Senčke so pakirane v 5g lončkih, cena za komplet se giblje med šest in sedemnajstimi dolarji.

Omejena kolekcija Christmas 2008 kolekcija je na voljo do 31.1.2009.

Kar nekaj kompletov nas je pritegnilo, na koncu pa smo se odločile za sledeče: Begonia Trio, Egyptian Nile, Autumn Splendor, Essential Basics, Caribbean Colors, Earth Tones Low Luster, Metallics in Blue Trio.

Naše nove pridobitve bodo razdeljene v serijo objav. Vsaka objava bo sestavljena iz swatchev izbranega kompleta ter Maestrinega make-upa, ki bo vseboval vsaj eno izmed predstavljenih barv.

Najprej bo na vrsti Begonia Trio.

Za vsako senčilo sem naredila swatch in sicer tako, da je na vrhu senčilo brez baze, v sredini sem senčko nanesla čez bazo (UDPP) ter za konec še moker nanos (narejen s tonikom).

V našem prvem trojčku se skrivajo Begonia Nearly Matte, Cornflower in Popsicle.

Begonia je nežno roza barva z oranžnim pridihom. Po strukturi je fino mleta, ni čisto mat – v senčki je viden zelo fin šimer. Pri nežnem nanosu je na zelo svetli koži idealna za nanos čez celo veko, kot podlaga za diskreten dnevni make-up.

Če iščete lepo oranžno senčko, je Cornflower prava izbira. Diskreten zlato-bakren šimer iz divje oranžne naredi prav nosljivo oranžno barvo primerno za poživitev.

Ko sem prvič zagledala Popsicle, sem si rekla, tole je pa res kričeča roza. Vendar me je prijetno presenetila. Suh nanos nam da nežno roza barvo, ki jo brez težav vključimo v bolj diskreten make-up, medtem ko nanos čez bazo ali celo moker nanos pripomoreta k bolj opazno naličenim očem. Ker je šimer skoraj neopazen, jo bom zagotovo kdaj primešala pudru in uporabila kot rdečilo.

Za konec prvega dela še čudovit Maestrin make-up, kjer je uporabila senčko Popsicle iz kompleta Begonia Trio.
