I think I don´t have to say much about the Dual Blend Eyes as I reviewed them short time ago. Just love the pigmented, smooth and richly pigmented texture! One of the best eyeshadow palette series I discovered recently though not of the subtle kind you might be used to from Japanese brands!
GN-1 is a wonderful fall color, a deep moss green paired with a soft pale spring green.
I also picked up 2 of the new Gel Eyeliners. I believe this is the 2nd revamp Kate did for the Gel Eyeliner since they were released. Now the brush is not included anymore but can be purchased for a few $ extra.
To be honest this isn´t the best range of gel liners now as they feel a bit soft and waxy so the color can look a bit uneven so a couple of layers is needed with a minute to let the first layer set in between. The previous version, of which I picked up the gorgeous deep green and blue shades, was better in my opinion. The liners hold up well and don´t smudge/fade though so the performance is good.
I got BK-2 which is a deep neutral brown and BK-3, a deep black with multi-colored shimmer bits.

Love how u always review on asian products. I happen to have the kate gel eyeliner in black. Too bad tht it dried up on me after 3 months. The shadows are really pretty.
xx
Oh I just got these Kate Gel Eyeliners last Thursday! I got the blue one though because I am very much curious how would it look like on me.. I haven't try it though because I haven't got out since Thursday. I heard that these Gel Eyeliners from Kate are really good for a drugstore brand.. Is it? Well, gotta find out! :D
i luv Kate too ~~~ yeah .. their gel eye liner is good ... but only able to use half of it ... dry up very soon ... and the brush's shelf life jz same with the gel
Nice reviews!
Kate gel eyeliner is really popular and I have yet to try the new versions. Gel liner tends to dry up pretty quickly, like a few months even when the pot is still half full.
And both of the EOTD looks so good and wearable, I like the 2nd one better.
I have to learn how to do EOTD like you..so pretty~! =D
The Kate green eyeshadow reminds me of Maquillage's Duo Glow Eyes GR273 (which I bought after reading your post haha). I must try the Kate gel liner new colors soon!
I'm sad to hear you don't like the new liners. KATE has been my favorite for the last 3 years, and my current jar hasn't run out yet :(
Very pretty!! :) I absolutely love the eyeshadow. The gel liners look so good too!! :)
I was thinking of ordering that green eye shadow, but now I think the darker shade looks too dark and the lighter too light, so I'll probably order that only in gold. Thanks for the review!
very pretty!!!!
