My new eye shadow obsessions!

So, I went on this amazing journey to Niece, France with my husband and I had more time than usual to just relax and shop for makeup. These days when I shop for my kit, I usually know exactly what I need to purchase and I am in a store for 5-10 min. Well, in France, it was more like 30 min per store and so I got to really just play around and test out some products that I have never worked with before.
I went to St Tropez where I also found super amazing skincare products and Perfumes!

My # 1 new love is YSL's Pure Chromatic eye's shadows.
They are so velvety and soft and glides on to the skin like silk! I have been using MAC eye shadow for years, but I love these much more!!!
I could use them to make a natural look or add water to the color to make it more intense!
I did a trial yesterday with a bride and used this for the first time on a client and she and I were in love with it! I also do the trial on her mother and she liked it as well.
*I used Mac paint pot in Painterly first, then Makeup Forever's Aqua Creme in #18 Mauve just on the base of lid. I used #3 Pure Chromatic.









My # 2 Love is Dior's single shadows in
 #616 Golden Spotlight and #056 Argenic and #026 Chrome and #086 in Flashback
These shadows had a really unique texture to create that really sultry fashionista look and stayed on very well as well. I could picture using these shadows on Penelope Cruz for the cover of Vogue.





Last but not least....My # 3 love is Channel's Les Ombres in #14 mystic and  #08 Vanites.
These shadows were also very velvety and glided on like silk. I really enjoyed the colors and how just a little goes a long way with these. I could make so many looks with these colors!
