Glass Reflection Eyes (released autumn 2011, 5 permanent shades) are your standard Japanese drugstore gradational palettes, so the USP here is the round pan, which contains a "Glow Base," an intensely shimmery gel-cream to be patted on either under or over the powders. While I wasn't wowed by the textures of these (they're uh, nice...) they DO exhibit some great colour-shifting due to the complex multi-hued shimmer which I have rarely encountered in drugstore eyeshadows. So I took pictures in different lighting conditions to hopefully capture the dual nature of these shades.
All swatches are one swipe onto a bare arm. 1st pic: natural light. 2nd: artificial+flash.
BE-1
BR-2
GR-3
PK-4
PU-5 (this would be my pick -- unique colours and the biggest shift)
As always, Yuki's Lazy Channel has excellent swatches on a medium skintone here.
I love it! Hana Yori Dango FTW! An oldie but a goodie. The swatches look yummy. <3
ReplyDeleteSkip the movie?!
ReplyDeleteShe punches a bear. In the face. And it dies.
That single-handedly makes the movie amazing.

...well I see Matsujun is the main draw for everyone else too :D
ReplyDeleteMiss S: Nuh-uh! It makes those particular five seconds five seconds of filmic epicness, the rest of the movie is pure dreck! And I like the Hana Kimi movie so my standards, they not so high...
GR3 looks interesting. But I am boring nowadays and don't do green shadows :(
ReplyDeleteGingi -- no greens? That's fightin talk here!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Hana Kimi is a classic - much more respected than Hana Yori Dango. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on the bear, imo the scene's amazing-ness overflows onto the whole movie, and thus makes it amazing too. That's a legitimate movie-making technique actually.
