I have to try it out with a base maybe then it look better. I have to admit I am over careful not to spoil the design so maybe that is just me who can't get enough amount of product ;-))<br />I completely agree, I was so happy with double deck thing, eye shadow and brush/highlighter. They were really worth the money. Now the amount of product offered started to decrease with each release :-((sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-67979072419804189602014-01-02T01:16:28.139+01:002014-01-02T01:16:28.139+01:00LOL, yes I was thinking the same.

You rea...Hi Wendy, thanks so much for your comment. You really have a point there. On the other hand I believe that the same company does high end and drug store cosmetics by simply changing the ingredients and the formulas. For instance I find Armani's Eyes To Kill more complex compared to L'oreal's Infallibles. That said, I still found Belladonna overly priced. By the way after your request I checked it and it is also made in Italy. I agree with Eileen though, Italy or France, that doesn't really make a difference. sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-9817022937837529942014-01-01T10:53:32.207+01:002014-01-01T10:53:32.207+01:00Happy new year :)

The cosmetic industry recognizes Italy as being at the forefront when it comes to producing finely milled, richly pigmented powders in beautiful shapes and designs.
