By Any Other Name...Addiction's Desert Rose Collection

I am so behind on all the Fall collections I've purchased (I literally have boxes/bags full of products). Yet, although it may feel like winter, we still have two more days of fall...really, we do, check your fiscal calender :P

During the Desert Rose launch, Addiction offered this lovely custom compact when you purchased a minimum of three items from the collection.

  From left to right: Eyeshadow in White Pepper, Sand Dune, Mustard Tree.

  From left to right: Eyeshadow in Moroccan Rose, La Mamounia, Sheltering Sky.

  From left to right: Kohl Eyeliner in Midnight Sun, Arabian Nights. 

  From left to right: Kohl Eyeliner in Night Dive, Secret Nights.

 Blush Mix Brown Toast.

 Blush Mix Spice On.

Overall, I love every single piece in this collection! All the eye shadows are lovely and have a velvety finish. The Kohl Eyeliners (which can also be used as shadows) are creamy, densely pigmented, and have a similar consistency to the ME eyeshadows. Also, I agree with Kate's assessment on the fallout factor of these liners; so, please pack the product onto our brushes with care. The Blush mixes are great! It's a three-in-one product, with endless amounts of playtime options...fun time guaranteed for all :D

I re-created the look worn by the model in the Desert Rose Collection Ad, but tweaked it a bit to better suit my eye shape.

Anticipating the fallout of the Kohl Eyeliner, I forgot to put on foundation, only to remember AFTER I applied my blush. :P
