Suqqu Eyeshadow

Suqqu Blend Color Eyeshadows in 14 Kosumosuiro

I bought this from one of the Japan group buy from HK, I heard this brand are very expensive and have excellent qualities, included make up product and brushes. Now, I would to share my thoughts about this quad. I paid HK $620 for it, almost US $86, it is more expensive than Tom Ford eye shadow quad US $ 78. It has 3 powder eyeshadows and 1 cream eyeshadow base. These three powder eyeshadows are very wearable in colors, a soft pink with shimmer, a matte vanilla color and a semi shimmering brown taupe.  The cream eyeshadow is a matte dark brown
Suqqu 尊貴品牌眼影組合 14
今次係日本團購時買, 呢隻牌子係日本出名貴同品質一流,由化妝掃到化妝品,都係咁出色。因為我係團購買,呢個眼影組合,盛為HK $620, 美金都要成US $86, 分分鐘仲貴過 Tom Ford (US$ 78) 。呢個眼影組合有3 個粉狀同1個膏狀眼影,顏色都好百搭,可以日日用都得,有淺閃粉紅,啞奶白色,半閃灰啡色。而膏狀眼影就係深咖啡色。

(sorry, forgot to take picture before swatch)



















































The palette is a thin sleek luxurious black palette in a rectangular shape. Shape wise very similar to Tom Ford. There is one mini brush with a very soft hair and one mini sponge. They both are usable. Same as all luxury eye shadow palette, they all come with velvet bag.
佢既包裝都好高貴,好薄,好 solid, 正方形,同Tom Ford 包裝好似,同好多高級化妝品一樣,都係有個絲絨袋,佢呢個跟埋兩個細掃,個掃d毛仲好軟,絕對可以用得架。



















































Suqqu is very famous in Japan, because the quality is so soft ,creamy and  buttery. It glides on extreme smoothly on the eyes lids. They have a large selection of the eye shadow quad for you to pick. the pigmentation of this eyeshadow is the best.
Suqqu 既化妝品絕對唔需要懷疑佢既品質,因為佢既眼影出名好, 好顯色,好滑,好容易人化。新手絕對啱用。佢仲有好多色揀,顏色配搭都唔錯。


This palette also come with the cream eyeshadow, again,excellent quality.  The pigmentation is very good and it works very well as a base. This cream shadow lasts the whole day with me without smudging without the eye shadow primer
值得一提,呢個眼影膏真係好正,好顯色,又可以做打底,仲好持久,搽左成日都唔會化開。

Eye shadow primer 眼部打底霜

Eye shadow primer is used it as a base so that the eye shadow base conceals crease and increase the vibrancy the eye shadow. Actually I used it everyday even though I only apply single cream color eye shadow.I have oily eye lids, to me it can help to control oil discretion too.
It usually come with a nude or transparent color, some girls may have some eye lids discoloration, it could also provide enough coverage and neutralize the colors on the lid.
眼部打底霜,佢係可以令你既眼妝更持久, 眼影顯色度更高。基本上我唔理我有無化眼妝或者只係畫眼線,我都會每日都用佢。通常呢類產品,大部份都係近膚色或者透明乳霜狀,如果有 D 姐妹眼皮有 d  深色,都可以用呢種打底霜修飾,打亮眼皮。

In the make up market, there are lot of different brand eye primers, drug store, high end one, the following primer are the one that I used the most
當然啦,所有每化妝品都會有貴同平,呢d都係我平時成日都好鍾意用既打底霜,希望大家可以參考下。

Drug store :

ELF Eyelid primer: very affordable price , only US $1
it is a nude color eye base, wand applicator little bit dry. I usually used it for a regular day make up. Average long lasting but good enough for just daily use
ELF Eyelid primer: 價錢相當平, 只係 US $1
近膚色, 海棉狀塗棒,質地少許乾。如果我只係普通日妝,我都會用佢, 因為佢既抓粉能力一般,如果唔係濃妝既話都應付到。

















































NYX HD eye shadow base US $ 6
It is a light peach color eye base, wand applicator, very smooth, easy to apply. lasting power not bad.
NYX HD eye shadow base US $6, 淺膚色,海棉狀塗棒,質地很滑,不會乾,抓粉力也很好,不錯。


















































MILANI Eyeshadow primer US $ 6.50
So far, is my best drugstore eye primer, very light peach,  affordable price, intensifies the wear of any shadow, over 8 hours wear. Very light weight finish, tube form. Very good staying power.
MILANI Eyeshadow primer US $6.50
三種產品中,我最喜歡呢個, 價錢又平, 淺膚色,品質都幾好,又滑,又唔乾,抓粉能力相當好,至少8 個鍾,絕無問題。

High end eye primer:

Urban decay eyeshadow Primer Potion tube CA$ 20 - $ 24
They come with different finish, (original, anti aging, sin, Eden)  but the one I like is the original one. It is an ultra sheer almost nude base. Anti aging - not only lock the eye shadow, also has ingredients that improve the signs of aging; Sin - it is a champagne shade ; Eden - matte finished. One thing is, after we apply the primer, when we apply eye shadow, it needs to be fast to blend the color well because for my opinion, this product hold the eye shadow very well, if you are new to makeup, it may give you a hard time to get the blending result.
Urban Decay eyeshadow Primer Potion tube CA $20- $24
相信唔使多講,呢個牌子好出名,因為佢有好多唔同既 finish,但係我最鍾意都係 original 呢隻,佢係半透明狀。有 anti aging,當然係除左有抓粉能力外,仲加左防衰老既成份啦。Sin, 係一個有香檳金底; Eden, 係一個啞 色底。對我黎講,呢隻產品抓粉力超高,所以如果你係新手既話,要 blend 得快,如果唔係,顏色會一撻撻咁!




















LORAC  behind the scenes eye primer, US $21
I didn't purchase this it only comes with the palette that I bought, but it is enough for me to love this, texture is very smooth, the formula is little bit thicker than the too faced shadow insurance, so holding powder is excellent, I also like this product because it is oil, fragrance and parable free , so also good for sensitive eyes.
LORAC behind the scenes eye primer, US $21
我從來都無買過呢隻產品,全部都係買 palette時送既,但係我已經好鍾意,佢既質地比Too faced shadow insurance 厚d, 唔會乾,抓粉能力好,有足夠時間去做 blending,仲有佢既 formula, 仲可以俾敏感皮膚使用。





















Tom Ford eye primer duo US $45

Very high end product, it is a nude color, powder and cream primer that enhances performance of eye shadow prevent creasing and last up to 15 hours. Perfect eyeshadow primer for dark smokey eye makeup. Basically you will apply the cream first then apply the powder to ensure everything is in place. when I use this, I feel my eye lid feels velvety smooth. Excellent product even the price is very pricey.
Tom Ford eye primer duo US $45
殿堂級產品,皮膚色,上層係壓縮粉狀,下層係膏狀,仲有一塊細鏡。佢仲可以防溶達15 小時!!絕對係深色既煙燻眼妝既絕配。基本上,先用膏狀,再用粉定妝。佢雖然係膏狀,但係搽上去好滑,好有絲質感。雖然價幾貴,
但係真係值得一試。

It totally has 14 shades to choose. You should be found one the best for you. I still don't see this foundation in Canada Shu Uemura makeup counter, I believe this must be only available in Asia market again.
Shu Uemura Lightbulb Foundation 白瓷光感粉底液,( HK $400 come with sponge)。今次植村秀推出這個粉底,主打係以裸妝,貼面,遮瑕度高, 高效保濕及有光澤感既粉底。這個系列共有14 色選擇,相信你一定搵到你既膚色。我呢個粉底係朋友幫我喺香港買既,因為加拿大到而家都仲未有,可能又係亞洲版.






















This foundation come with a light bulb shape sponge, it is double ended,  big side will be for the check and forehead area, small  size will be for under eyes area or besides the nose, this sponge is very dense,  same theory with the Beauty  Blender one, it can achieve the natural glow with high coverage.  But this sponge, you can use it when is dry
金次個粉底仲跟埋一個葫蘆形既 sponge, 兩頭都可以用,大邊就用於大既範圍,如面頰,額頭; 而細個邊就可用於眼底,鼻翼旁; 其實個 theory 就好似 Beauty Blender既原理,係可以令到個粉更加貼,遮瑕度更高!不過呢個 sponge 就可以乾用,唔須一定要濕用。










































According to their website,  this is a natural glow with high coverage, up to 12 hrs long lasting moisture. This product has been formula contains a high concentration of natural-origin macadamia oil. More highly reflective than regular oils,  it also stays on skin for longer, contributing to a lasting glow, light reflection comparison. With the revolutionary sponge techniques,  "tapping " a true secret of professionals to maximize a glowing finish with a perfect fit 
跟據官方網站既資料,佢有高度遮瑕,長達12 小時既保濕功效,另外,佢仲有多源光感科技,此配方含高濃度天然夏威夷果油,光折射效果更佳,更貼面,帶來更長效的光澤效果,令你係任何光線下都有完美既肌膚,再配上呢個特別設計既 sponge,並配合輕印式上妝技巧, 面頰更會自然剔透光感妝容。


Sounds like this is a very attractive foundation....told my friend to get it HK for me. I have been trying around 1 week, usually  one pump is good enough for the whole face.  Coverage is not bad too,  very easy to apply with the sponge; I also try to apply with the Sigma  F82 brush,  be honest,  I like this more,  coverage is more flawless and use less product. For the moisture,  may be I m living in Vancouver, moisture is only average,  I need to add the moisture make up base to achieve the result. 
聽到好似有好多優點咁,又即管買黎試下先。試左成個禮拜,一泵已經夠全面嘞,遮瑕度真係唔錯,易推,我都試過用 Sigma 既 F82 上呢個粉,老實講,我就比較鍾意用呢種掃黎上,因為我覺得個效果更加透薄,用既粉仲唔須要咁多; 致於保濕度,可能我住係加拿大既關係,保濕度只係一般,要多加一層滋潤既 make up base 先得。

Giorgio Armani Eccentrico Face Palette

Giorgio Armani's holiday product  is the Eccentrico Face Palette ( US $88 for 8g/0.27) a limited-edition highlighter/ blush palette. It is a bright red packaging with the little brush, and this is very eye catching. It also come with the little brush which underneath the blush, the hair of the brush is very soft too
今年 Giorgio Armani holiday 漂染腮紅 光燦嬌顏限量版,(US $ 88/0.27g) , 這是一個限量版光影及胭脂四合一的組合。今年是以鮮紅色的包裝,十分搶眼,下層有附刷子及可放刷子的空間,刷子的毛質亦很柔軟。
























The palette has is a mix of pinks, coral, a cool frosty white shimmer with the thin layer of overspray . After removed the top overspray, if  you swirled together, then you will have a light medium pink glow. You could use the darker pink / coral side as a blush or use the white shimmer as a highlighter.
當打開時,是有一層金銀色的粉蓋住,很華麗,但用的時候要把它掃開,才會見到真正的顏色,基本上,它是由兩種不同的粉紅色,橙色, 可當作胭脂; 白色光影粉組合而成。























The quality of the powder is excellent ,it is soft, creamy,and the shimmer is very refined and natural that giving you extra skin glow. After remove the overspray, I only pick up the darker pink powder, it is good enough for me to use it  as blush alone. Well there are different shade of pink and can give you different blush tone
粉質很幼滑,就算是閃粉都是幼細的,很自然。當金銀色粉掃開後,我會用深粉紅色作胭脂,當然,不同色調的膚色便可運用不同顏色而作出不同的胭脂。
























I'm not the big fan of the overspray, I just don't see the point. Be honest, the red packaging is very caught my eyes but I m more prefer what color which underneath. In my opinion I feel the price is a bit high.
老實說,我自己並不太喜歡這個金銀粉的設計,我反而喜歡它原來的顏色,不過鮮紅色的包裝,確實是吸引力所在,如果價錢可以下調的話就更好!!

Tom Ford Ice Queen Palette

I've finally decided to add this Tom Ford Ice Queen Palette (US$78.00) to my eye shadow quad make up collection, it is a cool tone of icy white silver and grays, since I don't have much cool tone eye shadow quads, so let me try and review it
終於都忍不住買了這個眼妝組合,因為我的眼妝組合沒有太多的冷色系列,其實以 Tom Ford 的品質來說,要選擇一款組合也實在有點困難!今次就先試試這款。

























Packaging is very luxury, sleek compact, this palette contains a bright frosty white shimmery color, a sparkle metallic light gray, a light cool satin gray, and a deep matte gray. It's also come with a big mirror and, two little applicators.
包裝設計絕對是實用,很高貴的感覺。它有一塊大鏡子,有兩個小 applicators。這個系列有超閃白,閃淺白灰,啞淺灰,啞深灰

























Tom Ford makeup's quality never make you disappointed, no matter is pressed powder,eye shadow, blush, they all are superior ,smooth , pigmented, creamy, always perfectly paired in the quad.
Tom Ford的所有化妝品都是顯色度很高,不管是粉餅,眼影,胭脂,粉質很滑,很幼細,很容易控制,對新手沒有太大的問題。另外,組合的好處是它已經把所有顏色配合地放在這個設計中。























Since, this is a very cool tone color quad, May be not much people will like it, but I  really enjoy it, this color can give you a fresh cool look which perfect for snow white Xmas time.
可能這類的顏色系列不是每一個人的心頭好,但我卻很喜歡,很型格的感覺,並很配合冬天下雪的季節!
