Swatches: Lunasol Geminate Liquid Eyeliner

FINALLY! I finally got fed up and swatched using a dry tester of 04. Seriously, try replacing your old testers, Lunasol Taiwan counters! Jeez. So I'm sorry for the 2nd pic of craptastic 04 Sapphire. It's that dark, and just about that blue. Will update this post when I finally find a fresh tester.

These beautiful, gemstone shades of liquid eyeliner with loads of shimmer retail for about 28USD, which is pre-tty dang high! However, you do get a good amount for your money. These set fast, do have a tendency to clump in the bottle, and, if you swipe your finger over the dried liquid you do get some shimmer that gets migrated. LOVE these colors though!



EDIT TO ADD: I mislabeled the gray in the 2nd pic, it's actually 03 DM :) Sorry for any confusion!

So, what do you think? Like or no?

Swatches: Kanebo Lunasol Noble Shade Liner

Wow, I seem to be on an eyeliner kick lately! Here is Lunasol's liquid eyeliner [one of the two lines, Geminate eyeliner is more colorful, but I am still waiting for the counter to get in the last two colors =.=]. These retail for about 26USD and come in three shades. The black is totally matte, and the other two are nicely shimmery. They have a nice brush too that's flexible, and they dry quickly.

Swatches: Lunasol Summer 2009 Palettes

Lunasol released two palettes [Layer Bloom Eyes if I'm not wrong, but I might be] for summer 2009, in Summer White Gradation [ex01] and Summer Pink Gradation [ex02]. They are both LE.

I'm really disappointed in these. In EX01, the two lighter shades are very shimmery, which would be OK, but they are also sheer. And the darkest shade, the dark olivey brown, is chalky. Meh.


In EX02, the most pigmented shade is the upper left, which is the palest and most shimmery! The rest are so sheer, and satin finish. Even my aunt commented on how sheer it was, and she doesn't even usually pay attention to makeup!
Each of these retail for about 57USD, but Lunasol, Lunasol, what a disappointment you have created this summer 2009.
