EOTD: Hello Kitty Les Turquoises...

Here's another shadow that's been lurking untouched in my drawer for over 12 months - Hello Kitty Les Turquoises. With so many tealy greens and blues in my kit, I've been neglecting her terribly, and she's such a pretty gal - to me she has too much green to be labelled a turquoise, I think she's more of an "aquamarine"...


So here she is - the only Hello Kitty shadow in my collection. At the time I found her, there was a deep blue that I fancied as well, but my local Priceline never actually ever had it in stock, and now I'm not even sure if they have the single eye shadows any more - they're certainly not available online. Anyways I'm still in love with this vibrant mermaid-hued gal - the pigmentation is astounding, and the consistency is just as creamy as it was on day one, and blends like a dream...


To bring out her best, I laid down Australis Star Bright (white) pencil all over the top lid, and then pressed the shadow over it with a dry brush. In the crease I added MUA matte charcoal...


On the waterline is Mirenesse Mineral Face Gel Colour in Aquamarine - an exact colour match for the shadow. I find these creams far superior to the Inside Out 27 hr Kohl pencils - some of them contain sparkly bits which are downright uncomfortable on the waterline, but the gels are smooth, shimmery, and once dry, they last a good 4 or 5 hours, and don't irritate my eyes... 


I think Hello Kitty is a stunner - not bad for being at least 2 years old, and doesn't look like going off any time soon. The shimmer factor is beautiful, and becomes even more pronounced when applied with a damp brush...


Take care of you,

  2. The vibrancy is amazing. I SO love this. I would never have even looked at something 'Hello Kitty' because of the assumption that it's for 'kids' & therefore of cheap quality.

  4. Be still my beating heart ... the pure perfection of aquamarine/turquoise! I also would have dismissed this eyeshadow had I seen it in the store. I haven't had much luck with budget eyeshadows in recent times.

    1. Thanks my dear Monique - it's hard to find the HK makeup line, the only place I've ever seen it was at Priceline tucked away in a corner at the back of the store. Pity because this little baby was a star ♥
