3. Jill Stuart

Jill Stuart’s summer 2009 collection includes a new Illuminance Eyes palette as well as items for lips and nails, but I am particularly interested in the new Jelly Eye Color N.

Jill Stuart’s (original) Jelly Eye Color is among the brand’s most popular products, but I have never tried it. (I much prefer powder eyeshadows.) Now that Jelly Eye Color N features an even more princessy packaging, there is almost no reason for me not to try at least one of the shades.

2. Lunasol

Lunasol’s summer 2009 collection continues the Floral Purification theme from spring. The plumeria series includes warm neutrals while the hibiscus series features vibrant cool pinks. The EX02 Summer Pink Gradation from the hibiscus series may be the last vibrant eye palette from Lunasol before fall’s slightly more sombre Stardrop Purification collection sets the scene for the rest of the year.

1. Coffret D’Or

Coffret D’Or’s summer 2009 collection is quite a sizable one, with a new lipstick range (Juicy Memory Rouge, 12 shades) and a new palette series (Color Mixing Eyes, 5 variations) among other items. Also, the early summer 2009 collection includes 8 new nail colors.

Since 2008, Coffret D’Or’s eye palettes have probably been my most-used items for eye makeup. I really like the beautiful texture, the finish and the pigmentation level, not to mention the good staying power.

As I mentioned earlier, among the new Color Mixing Eyes palettes, I am liking the look of 01 Orange Brown Mix and 04 Lavender Purple Mix. I think I will try 04 first and see how it goes. I will certainly keep you posted on my thoughts.

Hi ShaynaJo,

I have Lavender Purple Mix and I do like it. Orange Brown Mix looks really good and it should suit me well. I am glad to know that you like it! :)
