The products: Lise Watier Eden Tropical Eyeshadow Palette, Eden Tropical Bronzing Powder, and 24Hrs Gel Liner
This was supposed to be yesterday’s post — a couple end-of-summer reviews to get us through the long August days up here in Canada. But, well, I got distracted while testing out the bronzer, and so this got pushed back a day for Senna’s Powder Point brush (which, if I can butt in here for a second, pairs beautifully with the Eden Tropical bronzer.)
But, without further adieu — here is the rest of Lise Watier’s Eden Tropical collection! I didn’t love these products quite as much as these three hits, but hey, you never know, right? One woman’s not-a-chance is another’s holy grail.

The Eden Tropical Eyeshadow Palette ($43 CAD) contains six shimmery eyeshadows (8.4 g in total), and each is more gorgeous than the last — literally, if you ask me. (Seriously, how great is that aqua blue?!) Each shade performed well, and the palette has good consistency in terms of texture and pigmentation, but it didn’t wow me. It was still a good palette, but I’d go for one of Lise Watier’s gorgeous–and gorgeously-packaged–Ombre Soufflé Suprême Eyeshadows ($24 CAD) in a heartbeat instead.

Lise Watier Eden Tropical Bronzing Powder
On the cheeks, I found the Eden Tropical Bronzing Powder ($38 CAD) to be too warm for my skintone, but I actually really liked the formulation — solid, easy to work with, easy to apply in layers. It gave a really pretty golden glow without too much shimmer, and I think if you have fair to light skin without any green or cool undertones, it would work well for you.
The apricot blush in the centre isn’t pigmented enough to use alone, in my opinion, but I think this bronzer makes up for that with its large pan size and gorgeous pattern — I do love a wide pan when it comes to bronzers.

Lise Watier 24Hrs Gel Liner & Rose Eden Nail Lacquer
Finally in this collection are the Rose Eden Light Up Nail Lacquer ($13.50 CAD) and 24 Hrs Gel Liner ($25 CAD), which are also limited edition. I’d say snap up the nail polish if you want something similar (but more violet) than Lise Watier’s Dragon Fruit polish, because the formula is great, but skip the liner. The packaging feels really snappy and oddly luxe for something so utilitarian in design, but I can barely make it three hours without smudging.
It does stick around for 24 hours, though; I’ll give it that! The formula is gorgeously pigmented and so easy to apply, and nothing makes a girl feel sexier than still having liner hanging around in her lashes the next day — and I mean that with zero sarcasm. I look like a mess the day that I wear this, but the next morning, I look awesome.
