Maquillage released a new series of eye palettes called "Lighting Eyes Creator" for the 2011 spring look and even though all looked a bit pastel I decided to pick up the one in VI342 as it looked like a pretty lilac/taupe combo.
I am also quite fond of the Rouge Enamel Glamour, a 2-step long-lasting lip color so I got one of the new colors, too. Please read about what´s a 2-step lipcolor, how to apply it etc. in my previous review here.
The new Lighting Eyes Creator reminds me very much of one color of the older palettes from Maquillage though I can´t remember which range exactly that was.
These eyeshadows are very sheer, compared to the previous Eyes Creator palettes that´s quite a disappointment in my opinion. I think the spring palettes usually tend to be on the sheer side but I prefer pigmented shadows I can just apply sheerly instead of unpigmented shadows that take layers to show up somewhat decently.
The shimmer in the colors is very pretty as it´s very finely milled and gives a gorgeous softly gleaming finish to the lids. The shadow at the very right is glittery but it´s meant to be used just to give some shimmery accents to certain areas of your lids so it adds a nice extra touch.
The shadows apply, blend and stay nicely but as I mentioned above they are very sheer so the colors don´t show up too well on me.
VI342 is a combination of ivory, lilac, grayish taupe and a glittery silver (the pale blue tinge doesn´t show up at all).
Overall a nice eyeshadow palette creating a soft feminine look but it´s not worth hunting down or shelling out retail or even more for this product. It´s just mediocre.
2 looks I did:
Rating 3.5/5
PK344 is a pretty natural pink, just like half a shade deeper and more coral than my natural lip color. Topped with the clear gloss it´s really ultra-shiny and lasting-power is fantastic unless I eat something greasy.
Rating 4.5/5, deducting half point for the slightly dry feeling this leaves on the lips if I don´t reapply the gloss somewhat frequently.

The Rouge Enamel Glamour is just like the other one I purchased in fall so I won´t go into details, please check the review here.

I got both items on eBay from Alphabeautyuk.

OoH! Love the lip colour on you!
That's an interesting combination on the lipgloss. And the color is gorgeous too! Thanks for the review.
beautiful colors! I love spring makeup :) Thanks for the review and great pics
I grabbed one of the lip colors (OR7something, i swear their numbering system is SO difficult to remember lol) and i love it! the color's gorgeous, and i was surprised how easily the liquid lipstick side spreads, and i like how if i took a bit long to blend i can just layer more of the l/s on top and it'll be fine. Some of the american long wearing l/s just end up gumming up.
but while i loved it, i don't think i'd want more of them...i'm not a huge fan of long wearing l/s 'cause it's so hard to remove, so after lunch when i wanna reapply, it's really difficult. i guess i could just carry around mu removing toweletts but i'm lazy LOL
but the texture of those really are awesome for those who like long wearing l/s!
