In some cases simply adding more pigment and/or less shimmer would help. Case in point: The latest D&G quad I bought from Dustin, Femme Fatale, looked like boring taupes in the pan, but Avahttp://celinecrowne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-34394705518207344382013-02-02T16:36:43.169-05:002013-02-02T16:36:43.169-05:00Fantastic way to kick off the weekend Charleston g...Fantastic way to kick off the weekend Charleston girl.

One of things I love about the Armani esthetic is that he understands that older women want to have fun too without looking ridiculous. What Loyd did with your Rose Bliss is similar to what the MA did on me with Coral Bliss. The aqua became the subtle pop of color that set the whole thing off. I can easily imagine the orchid doing the same.

The difference between an Armani and Sisley single eyeshadow in the US is $17 whereas at today's rate, your difference of €1.85 is only equal to $2.53! A $17 difference in the US and a $2.53 difference in your country. Go figure! I shouldn't complain, though.

I see the reason that there are not many to no posts about Sisley because they dont seem to have a new spring collection , summer, fall and winter collection. Think I remember the rep said the same.
