Valen’s Vanity Square

I know I already have quite a number of eye shadow palettes in my cosmetic pouch, I’m still pondering on the idea if I should get one of those cream-type or pencil-type eye shadows to try. I actually would also like to try out mascaras or eyeliners with colors, too, hehe.

You know, just curious.

Men probably wonder why women (or it’s just me!) need a basketful of eye shadow, eyeliner or mascara to live with. Well, it’s just like why you need different categories of cable – CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 – to suit the different needs of Ethernet and interconnect technologies! Women also have different needs for eye colors and creating different looks to suit different occasions, okay?

But guess I have to wait a while before I head to the Guardian or Watson pharmacies to check out what’s currently in the store. Am still waiting for cash, waiting to be paid for the assignments I did 2 months ago! Grrrrr~

I wonder if it’s the artist in me (*ahem) that makes me easily attracted to eye color palettes, especially those that comes in multiple shades.

As much as I like to try different hues on my eyes, I seldom use eye shadows. The shades I use most often are light brown (Bobbi Brown) and pastel pink (Averine), which are suitable for day use when going out for shopping or meeting up with friends.

As for evening outings, something shimmery and glittery will be more appealing and allows the features of the eyes stand out. Something like this relatively new palette from Kanebo is a good choice.

Kanebo LUNASOL Geminate Eye, RM160
It contains 5 gem-like colors to give you the soft and glistening look on your eyes. May be that’s why it is called ‘Geminate’. Yeah, make your eyes look like a GEM! There are also other color combinations ranging from pink to brown and blue.

Although I would very much like to have one, but I don’t think I will get one soon because I already have my Kanebo Testimo eye shadow.

I bought it last year but have used it for not more than 5 times! I only use it for evening occasions, such as going out with hubby for our wedding anniversary dinner, birthday dinner, Valentine’s Day dinner…haha!

Guess I should use it more often. Hmm, may be I will try to use it to create a smoky-eye look (a mild one though) tomorrow night, for I’m going to see Matt Damon ……. in the cinema of course!
