Archives: April 2010

Friday is finally here, let’s all breathe a sigh of relief!

Barielle’s new summer collection for 2010 is called High Steppin’ and it’s a nice departure from most other collections we have seen so far this season.

This is made up of metallic colors, inspired by the disco era and not necessarily all colors you think of when you think summer. I definitely appreciate that because after awhile the same colors get to be so boring!

These are metallics and as we all know, they have a tendency to be streaky. I don’t have any major complaints here with the formula, just some small ones that aren’t a big deal.

While we were on the ship we had assigned jobs like swabbing the deck and taking turns doing night watch. It was a really cool experience and they are still doing it to this day!

Happy April Fools Day!

This is called the Ladybug collection and it’s also six new colors.

Ladybug is filled with mostly fairly sheer colors. I used three coats for all of these except one, and probably could have used 4 on some! That’s my only problem with the formula, otherwise they applied very nicely.

Take a looksee…

Daisy Dweller

Daisy Dweller is a warm sunny yellow with gold and silver shimmer. For my skin tone this does not work at all, it’s just too warm. But I still really like it and wish it was a color I could wear. This was three coats and you can still see a slight VNL.
