My Jill Stuart Haul: Secret Tease Collection, Jewel Crystal Eyes and Night Jewel EDT Natural Spray
Sunday, December 05, 2010Jill Stuart False eyelashes
These fake eyelashes are the softest I have seen and touched thus far! It really adds a lot more volume to your current (naked) eyelashes. While I do not see myself using it in the meanwhile, I would definitely reserve it for special occasions when I need more 'oomph' to glam up my entire look.
Jill Stuart Blush Blossom 101 Sensual Dahlia
The main highlight of the collection as well as the reason why I bought this set. I just tried the blush today and I was like wow. I have never used any blush in loose form but I really like the fact that this powder blush is so fine. In case you do not know, fine powder gives a smoother finish and appears less cakey. In fact, I was looking at my face this morning after leaving my place when I realised that my face looked smoother than usual. I didn't know that blush could do that! I always thought that it is either primer or powder that gives a smooth finish.
Before I forget, this blush is best applied with a large blush brush with a light hand so that it looks more natural instead of dowdy. You might ask, "Why the trouble?" Well, it is because I normally use a dense blush brush to apply my Benefit Coralista or Majolica Majorca Powder Blush in RD255 as they are less pigmented. It is better to apply Jill Stuart Blush Blossom with a large blush brush as it is rather pigmented.
I have always prefered rose gold or coral-orange looking blush over pink ones because I thought that the latter would make me look more tanned. But boy, I was wrong, so wrong. In fact, Jill Stuart Blush Blossom in Sensual Dahlia made me look fairer! Now I'm convinced that I can carry off nude coral pink and coral red blush.
Jill Stuart Jelly Lip Gloss 102 Silky Pink
Before you start to think that this is yet another of your typical lip gloss, let me tell you - it is not, definitely. You know at times, I really hate lip glosses because either they feel sticky or worse still, sometimes they sting the lips. Not to mention that sometimes they look like a layer of film when applied over lip stick.
You know I really did wish that I tried this lip gloss earlier when I was still in Macau/Hong Kong so I can buy a backup of it. I really like it a lot. Its not sticky unlike other lip glosses and it looks good when applied on top of lipsticks or even on its own. Did I mention that it makes your lips look moist like a baby? Furthermore, it comes with a jewel on its cap, tell me what's not to like about it?
Night Jewel Perfumed Body Powder
Bascially, this is a body puff with perfumed body powder. I doubt I will be using this anytime soon because I have got so many perfumes, deodorants and powders waiting for me to use them!
Apart from the Secret Tease Collection, I did get an eyeshadow palette and a perfume from Jill Stuart.
I have seen Jill Stuart Jewel Crystal Eyes in various beauty blogs and was intrigued by it. Tell me which girl won't be? Especially with the pretty, girlie and at the same time sophisticated packaging.
Jill Stuart Jewel Crystal Eyes 01 Crystal Ruby
I liked how the Jill Stuart Beauty Advisor did her eye makeup and she told me that she used Jill Stuart Jewel Crystal Eyes in Crystal Ruby to achieve it. Oh did I mention that all Jill Stuart Beauty Advisors look so pretty? In fact, they all had doll-like eyes and flawless makeup. Among all the beauty brands, I think that Jill Stuart Beauty Advisors are the most pretty. You can really see that they make an effort to dress up, do their make up and hair.
I don't know why but I seem to have a thing for plum shades nowadays. Every time I try to reach out for a color to do smokey eyes, I keep reaching out for plum. I think it is a good alternative to brown/copper or grey/black which I use most of the time.
And the last item which I got is -
Jill Stuart Night Jewel EDT Natural Spray
