Last Week's Cosmetics

Let me share some of last week purchases, samples and re-finds:

Clockwise:

 *

The Essence nailpolish is one those sparkly multicoloured glitters in purple hues: perhaps that's why it is called "Only Purple Matters".

 *

Mac Dainty Mineralize blush has been last week's rediscovery.

*

I bought Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick 'In Love with Ginger' after testing various orangy reds, ranging from Givenchy Le Rouge Carmin Escarpin, L'Oreal Perfect red and Chanel Rouge Coco. My actual favourite has been the Givenchy but pricewise I think I'd rather save on a colour that is not a staple of mine.

*

The Kanebo Sensai Cleansing Essence has been a free sample: I haven't used Kanebo for a while and I hope that my organically infused skin is up to the more chemical concoctions of Kanebo.

Reaching Tube...

I am about to finish up a lipstick! 

♥ my beloved Coffret D'or Shine Drape Rouge in RS 251 ♥

 For eyeshadows we would use the words "hitting pan" but there's no pan so I'm "reaching inner tube".

Unfortunately this 2009 edition is not available anymore...

I often pick softer colours for my lips: I am not a real lip-person but I like them looking dewy and young. Also, this one is so easy to apply without a mirror.

Oh, parting is such sweet sorrow, or being careful with my bit of Coffret d'Or

I bought this Coffret D'or lipstick based on Lotuspalace's review when she was still around. 

I kinda miss her: beautyblogs have triplyfied/quaduplified and there so many good reviewers going on, and still I miss some of the older 'hangout-places' for reviews & swatches.

I think I will try the newer version of their range soon.
