I normally adore almost all of the releases that KATE puts out and I'm particularly thrilled with the new Diamond Cut Eyes Palettes. These appear to be typical Spicy line range palettes however they have a silver and gold diamond powder which I'm assuming you use to finish your eye look. I'll be purchasing all four of the shades released as the Muse is all about diamond like sparkle! Each palette retails for 1,690 yen but will have have the standard 20% drugstore discount.e

PU-1 looks very cool-toned to me here. It looks more lilac-y on the February 2009 issues of Biteki and Voce, but I still think the second darkest shade, supposedly the main shade for the lids, looks a little too pale for my liking. I will probably not go for this.

These palettes are just gorgeous. The eyeshadows are all work together so you can create beautiful smokey eyes in tones of purple (Kilimanjaro), blue (Blue Waters) and green (Green Isles). The pigment is rich and the shades nice and shimmery… love it! My only problem is deciding which Sue Devitt Microquatic Hydrating Marine Minerals Eye Palette to start with… I think I’m leaning towards Green Isles.

Bell Epoque (1910’s) - a rich bee-stung red stain befitting of the Gibson Girls. Flapper (1920’s) - a deep burgundy crème, perfect for dancing the Charleston. Platinum Blonde (1930’s) - a true red-brown that Garbo would favor. Rosie the Riveter (1940’s) - the color that endured WWII, a rich blue-red. Gamine (1950’s) - a bright orange-red that Lucy would love. Mod (1960’s) - a “pop” pinky-red gloss. Disco (1970’s) - a deep shimmering cranberry to boogie down in. New Wave (1980’s) - a cool, nude red crème for when you feel like a “material girl.” Virtual (1990’s) - a brown-red crème, perfect for surfing the net. Futura (for the millennium) - a scarlet-red gloss with a hit of platinum, to lead the way to the next century.lip

Sometimes a girl wants sparkle to the eyes!

The perfect day-to-night palette with everything you need to create two different eye looks. Includes a dual-ended Mini Eye Shadow/ Eye Liner Brush for professional application.

The first thing that struck me about the DHC Eyeshadow palette was the packaging. A little door opens up over the applicator, and then a mirrored door opens over the eye shadow. It is unique and attractive. The shadow itself is fine. The shades are rather light, and sort of remind of some of the Clinque light neutral shades. That is also fine with me, but if you like really dramatic eye shadow, this might not be for you. The shadow also generally wore well for me. I also like how it is packaged, with the largest pan being the base shade and the liner as the smallest. It balances out the use better that way!

Sweet Dressy is, as the name implies, to impart a sweet look. The slim palette contains 6 colours - 3 powder eyeshadows and 3 lipstick and lipgloss combinations. The eyeshadows are in the pink-purple family which is favoured by the Japanese for a sweet look. The lipsticks are quite a deep shade with a sparkly lipgloss to round off the look. Knowing the Japanese style of lipsticks, they would be sheer - just how I like it. I’m quite taken in with the middle colour of the Sweet Dressy eyeshadow palette - it looks like a nice silvery tone.
