AW10: Shiseido Autumn Winter Colour Collection

Yammy! En route from Shiseido in September are lovely new colour goodies, including seven Luminizing Satin Eye Colour Trios, €39 each.

There are some other products in the AW10 lineup but they were swiftly abandoned when I opened up the pair of palettes I was sent and began to adore and love, zombie-like. "Must. apply." "Must. swatch."

These are gorgeous - satiny, creamy shades with medium pigmentation, I find the brand's shadows apply beautifully. But don't expect Mac-alike intensity: Shiseido is a luxe line for ladies, and not a showgirl-esque brand where every look has to scream 'dramz'. There's a lot to be said for a more subtle finish, y'hear?

I got two to stick my paws into. Wanna gander?

This is Boudoir, and I have an inkling that the next time Aphrodite is around mine, this'll disappear, never to be seen again. I'm not wild on pinks myself, but they are actually really flattering and brightening, so if you likes 'em, this is a good pick.

And here are the swatches.

This is Fire, and shade-wise is much more up my street.

Swatches from the Fire Trio. And what of the other five trios? For your viewing pleasure, I present some pix:

On your left is Opera; right is Snow Shadow

Left we have Strata and right is Jungle.

And this is the well-named Tropicalia. The model shot is absolutely beeee-uuutiful, using the Opera shades. Check it out below:

Find the lot on counter at Brown Thomas branches from September 6th, going nationwide on the 13th.
