Jill Stuart Fall 2011 Collection (Limited Edition)

                                               Prism Carat Eyes #101 "Brilliant Crown"
↑  When swatched separately...
The base is so creamy...almost feels like mousse. The glitter shines like a diamond but it does not feel grainy on my skin.
                                      
                                           ↑ When swatched on top of the cream base...
This is what it looks like when used together (base + glitter). The jewel shine effect intensifies making it look like metallic.


I have to say that I don't like this product (sorry Jill Stuart fans!). The cream base is an absolute fail. It creases within 2-3 hours of wear. The glitters are a pain to remove and I find them (not a whole lot but even 1 or 2 would be too many) run into my eyes which is a huge turn off because I don't want them to scratch my corneas!!!  @_@

 
Mix Blush Compact #105 "Sweet Lock"

 The imprinted "Jill Stuart" signature disappears within a few swipes.


Pigmentation: Medium - Low
Color: Soft Rosey Pink
Finish: Lots of Shimmers & Glitters
Scent: Typical Jill Stuart Rose Scent


and...

 Blush Blossom #102 "Classic Camellia"

Pigmentation: Medium - High
Color: Coral/Pink
Finish: Satiny & Shimmery with fine glitters
Scent: Typical Jill Stuart Rose scent

This has to be my favorite from the collection. The color is very well suited for my skin tone. Pigmentation is great. Very easy to work with. I like how you can use the lighter color for highlight on the cheeks (also works great on nose and forehead) to create a 3-D effect.
