I like the distressed treatment of the Black Or White casing.
Black and white palettes always reminds me of the character, Dominique "Domino" Derval (played by the stunning actress, Claudine Auger), from one of my favorite bond films, Thunderball.

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
These are soooooo beautiful. I wish we could get this brand here in Canada. I've actually been looking for a nice, satin-finish white like this and it's REMARKABLY hard to find. Most or frosty or matte. I'm impressed with the intensity of the black shades as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, Thunderball is definitely one of the best Bonds :-)
Hey Kate! I can help you get your mitts on some Addiction products :D
DeleteI don't care for the new James Bond films at all, they don't hold a candle to their predecessors!
UGH! I totally bypassed this but it looks incredible on you, Liz!!! Do you know Tom Ford is coming out with a holiday palette called Ice Queen? Has a similar vibe, but I love the Addiction quality.
ReplyDelete(but on a no buy)
Wow, the black shade is so rich!
Always generous with the comments Bellyhead <3
DeleteDidn't know about the Ice Queen palette, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it now ;)
Love the looks, so pretty. I think it is sold out everywhere though?
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara <3 I was at the cosmeme counter two weeks ago, and they still had it there.
DeleteAwww..this is so pretty. I thought it would be too dark but upon seeing it, its perfect! Its not too dark and not too light. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAt First swatch, I was really underwhelmed by the glitter white shadow, but after playing with the other three colors, I had to pick it up. Also, the glittery white shadow looks beautiful when layered over the other three eye shadows.
DeleteThis!! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI regret not getting this after seeing it on you...oooooooouuch.
This is a non-colour set that could go wherever and look striking ...argh regrets!!! :)
I almost passed this one up as well, but the greenish-black really pulled me in :)
DeleteDAMN, I should have gotten it.... why are you teasing me with a palette that is nowhere to be found now? The colors are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, because I can :P You should subscribe to my beauty shopping rules: buy everything, and pay the consequences later ;)
DeleteI did see this palette at Cosmeme two weeks ago.
DeleteStunning looks! I wasn't bothered at all by this palette until reading this post... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole, and sorry for the delayed reply. If you like, I can try to track one down for you :)
DeleteWoman, why are you doing this to me?! I kept making noises of inarticulate PAIN while scrolling -- every look more fabulous than the last and the final one! *dies*
ReplyDeleteHehehe...because I can darling >;) I knew you'd like the final look. Have you worn Yellow Cab yet?
DeleteThis is an amazingly seductive palette! Or maybe just because it's you wearing it and the looks!! You make everything look so perfect. I love, love, love that bold black look. So intense and eye-catching :)
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, do continue :P Apart from all the stares, It was a lot of fun wearing it out.

ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your blog and I believe you are my spiritual make up sister, lol :D
