TGIF everyone,
Happy it's a long week-end? I sure am.
Any way this is going to be quick. I went to Shopper's Drug Mart today and purchased two items from the L'Or SunSet collection for festival Cannes.
The collection offers where I am 4 nail polishes, 2 quads and 3 lip colours and a mascara. I am not entirely over the moon about this collection but it does have it's strong points.
The quad I picked is luminous COPPER COCKTAIL it offers up 4 lovely golden glowing colours that I am always partial too. My only thought is that I already have many colours like this that are very similar. I find the compact looks attractive from a far, but upon closer inspection it is quite cheap and honestly I expect more than that from a brand like L'Oreal, not a strong point. Don't get me wrong I like the combination of the gold and black which makes it look sleek and the shape is nice, but I would like to see a more solid construction especially being limited edition and the price we have to pay.
The colours are a deep shimmer brown, a light beige shimmer, a pink or rose goldesque shade and a true orange bronze. The shadows apply nicely and can easily be blended out for a more subtle tone, or use a good eye shadow primer to amp up the colour to make the eye more dramatic.

No names for each colour are present on the packaging. This product does come with a small dual tip applicator and there is no amounts any where on the package in g or oz. It is quite small and seems there is probably not a ton of each colour. The other quad is called "Golden Black" and speaks for it self. There are two golden tone shadows and two blacks, one which has large glitter in it and may be tedious to work with. I did not buy this because it's extremely dramatic and would not get used often enough, at least not for me. It's a great option for people who go out often to evening events or a romantic dinners, etc.
This product is $13.99, but tomorrow at Shoppers Drug Mart (CANADA) you can get 10% off the entire collection and that offer runs through till Friday May 24.
I also purchased one of the nail polishes which is called COPPER CUFF. I would like to stress here that these limited edition bottles are only 5ml so they are mini. However for someone like me who wears different polish daily this is a great more economical option. I don't want a ton of large bottles of polish sitting there going to waste. If you have a lot you won't cycle through the full sized bottles quick enough. I actually would prefer for companies to offer this option more readily because it saves on space and if priced right would probably sell even quicker.
5ml for $3.99, there are three other colour options as well for the collection

Something is always new at MAKEUP'ASYLUM so check back often
So that's all for today and wishing those of you a happy and safe Victoria Day long week-end
****PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE AND DON'T LET OTHERS YOU KNOW DO IT EITHER****
STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
