So far, 2 cream shadow releases this year have caught my eye: the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize and the Burberry Eye Colour Creams. The Charlotte Tilbury definitely didn't disappoint and are wholly worthy of all the good reviews I've seen. The Burberry Eye Colour Cream I tried, while not entirely a dud, didn't wow me either. 

I'll tell you up front I absolutely love this shadow! The color is gorgeous, it's pigmented, but not so much that it's tough to blend out...quite the contrary it blends out and with other colors beautifully. I thought the shimmer might be too much at first, but I don't find it over the top - kinda perfect in giving the right amount of oomph. 

Aaaaaaah Viseart...

 This was OOS on Sephora forever, and when it finally came back in stock I made the purchase even though it was right before the last sale (I was afraid it'd be gone again before I could get it on sale!). Lemme say...I'm very happy with this new palette!! 

I was quite taken aback at the news that Burberry reformulated their shadows. WHY???? No, really...W H Y??? Makes no sense, but goes along with the haphazard nature of the Burberry line since they decided to take everything in house - ahem, referring to the untimeliness of their releases, lack of breadth in new products and general disappointment with say, the terrible cheek tints from last Summer. Or was it Spring??

You know how you have some things you can't seem to let go of? For me, one of those things is Guerlain Les Fumes. I don't wear it often enough, and have tried to purge it many times...but...I...CAN'T. Something about the colors mesmerize me. And really...swatches don't do it justice. An oldie but goodie that's still available...
