Although I have already written about several Rouge Bunny Rouge eye shadows,  somehow I’ve never featured the brand’s most famous  shade (along with Delicate Hummingbird, but I don’t have it) – Abyssinian Catbird.

So here it is!

RBR describe this shade as metallic bronze with golden highlights, and it is truly beautiful! I have already sang praises to these eye shadows: they are very soft, pigmented, easy to blend and long-lasting.

I’d say that my favourite thing about RBR shadows  is the

Rouge Bunny Rouge launched six new eye shadows this year and I have already shown you three of them  and today I want to show you the fourth shade, which is my personal favourite so far.

It is called Umber Firefinch  and is described as iridescent dark umber chocolate. I would describe it as a cool toned chocolate brown with a very subtle  shimmer, it is not even shimmer, iridescence is a good word to describe it actually.

Because of this iridescence, this is a complex colour and it doesn’t look flat on the eyes, in fact, you can get a beautiful eye makeup with this shade only. This is exactly the reason why these eye shadows are so popular, I would say.

I have already written a detailed review about RBR eye shadows so you can

Several days ago I have posted the information about the new Rouge Bunny Rouge eye shadow palettes and refills.

And I actually have three new shades and a palette to show you.  Here is the packaging  looks like…

The palette itself also has the iconic RBR flowers on top. You can also see three little holes in the palette which is a great idea as they allow you to push the needle through when you need to get the eye shadow out.

And here is how the eye shadows look like inside.  The shades that I have are:

• Golden Rhea – Iridescent pale gold, pure and simple
• Lilac Reef Curassow – Pale lilac with iridescent effect
• Trumpeter Koel – Dark lead-grey with lilac-blue iridescence

The original eye shadows are 2.4 g (£22) and these are 2 g (£16) so they are a bit smaller but also cheaper.

You may know that Bejewelled Skylark is my most favourite eye shadow so I was excited to try new shades from RBR and here is my opinion.

The eye shadows are

Since we are talking about Dolce & Gabbana today, I thought I would share my impression about their eye shadow quad in Stromboli.

The eye shadows come in a signature gold D&G packaging.

There are four wearable shades in this quad. They are: beautiful true gold, reddish warm brown, caramel warm brown and black with tiny silver shimmer. You can’t really get wrong with these eye shadows and they are perfect for an every day look.

My favourite shade is probably the reddish brown as it looks beautiful on my eyes.

The texture of the eye shadows is

So I’ve promised to review some products from the YSL summer 2011 makeup collection that I’ve mentioned here.

I’ve already reviewed the new Volupte Sheer Candy lip balms which I adore  so now it’s time to write about the eye shadow palette and the blush.

Today I will tell you about the eye shadow duo in  35 Caramel Tan/Burnt Brown (Terre Halee/ Brun Embrase).These eye shadows come in a signature gold YSL packaging with two sponges.

And I actually use the sponges when I apply the eye shadows as they pick just the right amount of the product.  I  don’t like brushes like MAC 217 with these eye shadows because they don’t pick up the right amount of  the product which leads to a very sheer application. This is why some people may think that YSL eye shadows are not pigmented. They are, you just have to find the best way to use them. You can also try using them with a slightly dampened brush.

Here is the palette in different light

As I already said, I apply with the sponges from the palette and then blend with a blending brush.

As for the texture, these eye shadows are
