So... the Guy Bourdin collection was just released in Australia.... so I thought I would head over to Mecca Cosmetica (conveniently located behind my office building), and check out a few things. I really enjoy the previous palette I had bought from NARS, so I was definitely interested in trying some of their other items.
An overview: Lip Pencil Set, Blush Palettes, Lipstick and a sharpener. I am forever losing my sharpeners. I thought if I bought one that was a few dollars more than the ones I usually buy, then I might look after it better.
The lip pencil set comes with 5 pencils and a cute make up pouch. New Lover, Cruella, Sex Machine, Never Say Never and Dolce Vita. I believe they're minis, but that's great, because you get to try different colours, and we all know I have too many lipsticks anyway.
A close up of the pencil. So cute, and a convenient carry size. The only downside is that you need a sharpener. I have noticed though, that sometimes you get less product in windup products. Which do you sacrifice? Convenience or product?
Little swatches - as you can see, they're all matte bar the first one, New Lover. All colours that I will generally gravitate towards anyway, and New Lover kind of reminds me of the Revlon lipstick I really liked before they discontinued the line.
Here are the limited edition blush palettes - Adult Content and Killing Me Softly. These aren't part of the Guy Bourdin collection, but I have had my eye on them for a while. They only had one of each palette left! So I decided to get both.
I do like packaging!
This is the blush palette in Killing Me Softly. It contains Gilda, Albatross, the famous Orgasm and Outlaw. I have wanted Orgasm for the longest time.... and its finally mine! Just in time for the warmer months!
Adult Content contains Zen, Miss Liberty, Deep Throat (I love this blush - in the previous palette I picked up), and Desire. Again, its great to try multiple shades in one palette, and I believe they're all permanent colours, so if there is a particular favourite, I can pick up a full size.
Last thing I picked up was a lipstick from the collection - Short Circuit
Its an orange red - just in time for summer. It already hit 36 degrees the other day....
