Giorgio Armani Spring 2012 Eye Palette

A friend of mine gave me the Giorgio Armani Spring 2012 Palette as a gift a few weeks ago (thank you!). This palette is the epitome of spring with the pretty Easter egg-type color scheme. I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and soft these shadows are. They swatch beautifully and provide a nice pastel wash of color on the eyelids. If you're looking for bright, bold, opaque colors, this quad isn't for you.  The Giorgio Armani Spring 2012 Palette is light, pastel, and beautifully spring.

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder 01 Light Matte


I purchased The Body Shop's Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in 01 Light Matte based on a recommendation from Essie Button. She raves about this bronzer all the time, so I figured I would try it out and write a quick review on it.

Packaging: I love the packaging. It's sturdy and has a click shut closure (to prevent the product from randomly opening).  I love the honeycomb pattern on the top that appears in certain lights. Very cute!

Product: The honeycomb pattern on this bronzing powder is adorable. There isn't a scent to the product and the powder is soft and picks up easily on a brush.  It does have a pink undertone to it though. I've worn it once and I felt as though it made my forehead look sunburned! I have warm/yellow undertones (Mac NC20) and I think this bronzer would be more flattering on someone with red/pink undertones.

Final Thoughts: I think the quality of the powder and the packaging is nice. The Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder is a great price as well (retails for $20. I paid around $14 with a coupon). Sadly, the shade isn't right for me, but would be very pretty on another skin tone.
