This collection goes very heavy on the gold eye look, it contains gold eye shadow shades, gold eyeliners, and even a gold mascara top coat to complete the look. I am intrigued by the gold mascara top coat, I wonder how bright it is and if it will become a true gold on the lash or just create subtle gold flecks to open up the eyes. This could be a fantastic product for me or a total disaster. I do wonder how thick this product is in texture, will it create clumps on my lashes after I initially apply my mascara? Will it also add additional volume to my lashes? I will be looking at this product in great detail when checking out this holiday collection.
The Nordstrom website does provide a quick description of the collection, "A collection inspired by the city lights of Paris, glamorous soirées and shimmering chandeliers reflecting against golden sequin gowns." I would love to get dressed up and go to a huge party in Paris one night so this collection represents one of my dreams and therefore I know that I will love this collection!

I see that a couple of my questions about the mascara has been answered, it is more of a subtle gold shimmer and not a fully opaque gold. This product has me very interested and I want to find out as much as I can about how well it performs and I bet that I will buy it if I find good reviews on it. I hope that this product performs exactly as the product description promises, this will add a beautiful subtle twinkle to my eyes and hopefully make them look even brighter and bluer!
What else do I love about this collection?! I can start by just going on about how much I love the combinations of the berry and gold shades and how flattering these shades will be for me all through the rest of the holidays and then the whole winter season. I want the gold shade in the Artliner product, I don't own a gold liquid liner yet and I have high hopes that this product will create a foil-like effect on the eyes, this could be a favorite product of mine all year long if it performs as promised. The Petit Tresor eye shadow is fantastic also and I would love to see how it looks in real life, I sense a visit to my closest Lancome counter is in the works...
The eye makeup is by far my favorite part of this new collection however I do want one product for my lips and the blush highlighter that has a rose pressed into the product. I hope that I will actually use the product and get over my dislike of spoiling the rose pattern, this is a great shade for my pale skin so I should get over that fear very quickly. I only really want one of the lipstick shades offered in this collection, the Berry Noir shade is the perfect deep berry (and I am pretty sure that this is the one that the model for the collection is wearing) and I will wear this one all winter and than again next fall.
The holiday collection from this company is another favorite of mine and the mascara top coat is going right on my next Most Wanted list and I will be paying a visit to the counter very soon! all of the collections for this season that are featuring reds and golds are turning out to be the best ones yet...
