Furry Fantasy Premium False Eyelashes ($100 CAD)

I’m not a big fan of outlandish false eyelashes (or outlandish anything, really), so I’ll leave you just with a photo of these ones! The Furry Fantasy Premium False Eyelashes are one of two false eyelashes included in this collection, and are featured in the promo images if you’re interested in seeing what they look like on.

The second, non-premium set ($35 CAD) are shown here.

Pampearl-Me Face Powder ($50 CAD)

The Pampearl-Me Face Powder was the second product in this collection that really wowed me — and as such, I think it, too, would be another great “what one product should I get from this collection” pick. It’s well-priced at $50 and features both Karl’s drawing of Choupette (on the lid) and those adorable little kitty-prints (on the powder puff), and the powder itself is a very fine, delicate shimmer mixed with face powder for a subtle glow.

Shu Uemura Pampearl-Me Face Powder, swatched heavily twice.

This one was extremely hard to photograph, on account of prettiness and translucence.

I’ve read some reviews from other bloggers who have said this would make a good spot highlighter (cheekbones, browbones), and I agree, but I also think it could be used as an all-over luminizer (NOT using the included puff). It’s about as obvious as the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders and much less than the Bourjois Poudre de Riz de Java, and its fine pink and gold shimmer disappears into the skin at a distance.

Pampearl-Me is still a little too visible for my tastes, but I think many will like it! Just remember: fluffy brush; buff it in.

Kitty prints!
