I can’t believe it’s already going towards the end of October!
In addition to panicking whether we have reached our yearly target at work, it’s also that quarter where you need to do your planning for the year ahead *sigh*. But another thing about this quarter of the year is that, it’s time where the holiday collection starts to pop out. A very exciting season I must say 🙂
NARS was first to launch with the Andy Warhol collection, which so far, has received good review. While that collection is not available in Indonesia, the next one that I’m very much lusting over, will be available by November.
It’s the Make Up For Ever Holodiam Collection for Holiday 2012. The Holodiam Collection embodies a very bright, glamorous and glittering holiday look. Think about the party that you want to attend during this holiday season.
The belle of the ball from this collection is the Holodiam Eyeshadow Powder where it’s able to create a 3D holographic effect. With each angle, Holodiam Powder gives a different reflection of colors and tones as light hits the eye area. The color is intense, and the ability to give three different shimmering colors produced by the optical effect really enlivens your eye makeup look.
There are going to be four shades available, each shade is a combination of three different colour tones:
- Copper: Pink, orang and yellow highlights.
- Plum: Turquoise, violet and pink highlights.
- White: Gold, green and blue highlights.
- Brown Gold: Yellow, green and blue highlights.
If you’re confused on how to use this powder, we also have a step by step tutorial on one of the key looks for the Holodiam Collection.
