Look w/ Lancome Color Design 'Mint Jolie' palette

So among some other awesome Lancome goodies I got for my birthday

was this gorgeous palette: Lancome Color Design in 'Mint Jolie'.

Gorgeous, right?!

You can see it gives you 5 shimmery shadows along with two mini brushes.

I've never used an Lancome products,

 but was super stoked to try this bad boy.

For my first time playing with this,

I just used the shadows in their recommended areas.

Here's what I ended up with:

I also used Lancome 'Red Stiletto' on my lips.

I don't have much mint green colored shadows at all,

and I REALLY loved how this looked on my eyes.

The shadows applied easily and were great quality (as to be expected from Lancome).

The only thing I didn't like was the highlighter shadow.

Though gorgeous, it's a bit too chunky of a glitter for me & is a little hard to apply.

Other than that, however- i love this palette!

The lipstick is definitely a kick ass red ;)

Love it.

What are your thoughts?

Have you tried Lancome?

Let me know!
