I also went to see the Graphic Garden Collection. See what the hype is about. Anyway, to begin with, there are no lookbook. Lookbook is a set which has bronzers, 2 eyeshadows, a 181SE brush with liglass and more. Its a make up kit. So, its not available in Singapore. Back to the product. The packaging are amazing! Great graphics. Black and white floral and mac prints all over really makes it more classy yet fun at the same time. Let me start of with the most exciting part, which is the palette. They consist of 6 colours in it. If you see retail_therapy, she bought the fresh cut palette. The swatches are amazing. And they are pigmented. I do adore their packaging though. However, i think the colours are abit weak. For the fresh palette, i could easily have my spiced chocolate quad do up a similar look the palette could provide. The colours are really not something I would definitely go down and grab. Even the graphic garden as well. Its great to have a smokey eye with it. But its not a need for me. Its nice to have in your collection. But I am still contemplating whether to get it or not. Hmmm... I need to think. But so far, with the packaging standards, i won't mind spending on it. I need to reconsider this.
The brushes are mass produce. So, It is obvious that it is not as soft as the long handle brushes which are hand made. They are basic brush with a nice make up bag. And also the lip kit comes with 2 lipstick and one lipglass. I am not a lip person. So, i skip that as well. I hope it helps you further to head down and swatch it for yourself. The testers are pretty much dried up, which makes swatching unjustified. So, yeah. let me know what do you think of this collection yah? :)
The packaging is rad but the product itself is just kind of okay. I love the colors in the Fresh palette but I can't justify buying it when I have colors similar to the 88 color palette. Maybe I would cave in and get it in person. I'm thinking of getting the brush sets though, just for when I travel or just cause it's cute and all. I love the pouch. Darn you packaging. haha.
