Summer 2010: Kosé Visée Blossom Eyes

Kosé added a new range of eye shadow palettes to their Visée brand lineup. The new palettes are called Blossom Eyes and come in 5 color variations. Their is also a new mascara but it didn´t really interest me as it´s a lengthening formula and most mascaras just fail on me so I stick to the ones that work for me.


I only picked up one of the new Blossom Eyes as the other 4 didn´t appeal to me. I purchased PU-2, a set of various purples.
The Blossom Eyes palettes have really pretty shiny white floral cases. I think they look gorgeous and very attractive. Inside there are 2 cream color bases (a light and a darker one) and 3 powder eyeshadows.


The cream colors (colors A and B on the diagram) don´t really feel like creams, they have a very dry and non-greasy texture. You are supposed to put the light base allover and then use the deeper base on the outer 1/3 of your lids as a base to deepen the lid color.
The 3 powder shades are smooth with decent pigment, the darkest liner color is actually very pigmented.
All 5 shades (creams and powders) are shimmery but not glittery.


Lasting power of this Visée palette is good, I didn´t experience any creasing and only light fading. I used the cream bases and think they are good primers.


The colors are:
Cream colors: white and light brown (this looks like a taupe in the pan but alas turns brown on me)
Powder shades: very pale whitish lavender, medium lavender and deep blackened purple.


To be honest the color combo is a bit of a snore. It´s pretty and all but nothing unique or outstanding. My EOTD (forgot to take a pic!) was pretty but it didn´t wow me.
Anyway, the Blossom Eyes eyeshadow quint in PU-2 is a solid choice if you are searching for a refreshing light purple palette.
