Hi everyone,
I just wanted to post some pics of the Anna Sui items I won from Dave Lackie on Twitter. I have had no real time to use any of this stuff as of yet with the exception of the lipstick, so this is more a look and first impression, not an in depth review.
The items I won are Liquid Eyeliner 001 in black, a lipstick 400 in a gorgeous true red , and 400 Rose Cheek Color, as well a La Vie De Boheme shower gel.
The shower gel starts with a Turkish Rose scent which I normally am not a huge fan of, but this melding with berries, peony and other florals, and warm vanilla and woods make this a very interesting scent that is more mature and sultry. (Tube in the picture above) Approx. $40
The eyeliner at first I was having a total epic fail trying to get this working and felt like a total ass that I was not even clicking the right part of the tube DUH! Once I actually realized how to use it this is a very nice fluid liner that will be perfect for winging it;)
With time and practice I can see this becoming a favourite for how fine of a line you can make and for exceptional tight lining.
Approx. $40
The Rose Cheek Color is very pretty colours and esthetically pleasing to look at with its embossed rose pattern
Again I can't say how it wears or how long it wears because I have not used it yet, just been glancing at it in passing *sigh*
This blush runs Approx. $55
Lastly the one item I have used a couple of times and adore it which is 400 lipstick in this stunning, sexy red made to be paired with that perfect LBD.
So creamy, heavily pigmented and absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous, sure to turn some heads
I love this lipstick, but if your not in the market to spend $30-35 on a lipstick as I certainly am not, then a very close dupe for this red that is an affordable alternative at $10 would be Sonia Kashuk's satin luxe lip colour 93 Classic Red. I have compared the two and they are really close in colour.
I hope this gave you some in sight into the price points and products available from Anna Sui
Thanks for reading and lots more coming to Makeup'Asylum
XOXO:)
I am so so happy you won a prize package from Dave! This is a very beautiful prize package! The packaging for Anna Sui is very nice, I wouldn't know how to deal about trying to even use it lol! That lipstick looks gorgeous on you! I appreciate the lip swatch my love. That really is a classic red staple to have! Everything is so gorgeous and I hope you get to sit down, indulge, and enjoy in your awesome goodies my love! Looking forward to full reviews on everything! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI do like the items, but I do have some mixed feelings about some of it, which I will mention in a future post. However the lipstick is truly the star of the show in these items. Thanks for commenting and reading and have a great week-end. Looking forward to some new posts from you soon. xo:)
DeleteCongrats on winning this! Anna Sui products are so pretty! I've never tried any of them so I don't know about the performance. Thanks for sharing!

I have other several other Anna Sui items that were given to me by a friend, but high end or not something's are great and others are lack luster, but that's just my opinion. However Anna Sui foundation and loose powder are very good products. A little to pricey for my liking though. :/
DeleteCongrats on winning these lovely bunch of goodies! Ana Sui's packaging is so pretty! And I'm loving the look of that blush...it is absolutly gorgeous and very pleasing to look at!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the price points and overview!

The packaging is gorgeous and some of my very favourite in any cosmetic line. Thanks for reading and yes esthetically the blush is stunning;)
DeleteI love the packaging of this stuff. The blush looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI find this packaging has that sexy boudoir vintage appeal, that I often love so much. I like anything that is a throw back to an era long gone. My mom told me about some amazing items that were around when she was a kid and how beautiful packaging was common place and yet it cost peanuts "SIGH"
DeleteEven though quality is more important than packaging, I find that the packaging initially attracts me to some products.
DeleteOh for sure, I am always sold on an item initially because of savvy marketing;)
DeleteThat lipstick!!!! You can never go wrong with red lipstick!
ReplyDeleteYes this red and the Sonia Kashuk red are pretty near to perfect. Thanks for stopping by for a read and commenting. :)
