Coffret D'Or's Fluffy Shine Eyes Review, Swatches, and Photos

If you read Musings daily you might know I've been in mourning for the better part of a year over my dearly departed T'estimo.

Oh woe is me!


T'estimo was cut from Kanebo's line up last year and replaced with a new brand entitled Coffret D'Or. Now Coffret D'Or has alot going for it but the Muse's love for T'estimo knew no bounds and she shunned Coffret D'Or for the better part of an entire year.

Recently her eye was caught and held by Coffret D'Or's Fluffy Shine Eyes which was released as part of the Fall line up. Now these looked interesting enough to remove my veil of sadness.



Turns out I was right these are superb! I only tried out one shade but I'll be indulging in the other four shades shortly as they are very good. Fluffy Shine Eyes are basically little pots of cream mousse eyeshadow which contain a nice healthy amount of shimmer and glittery bits and pieces that the Muse loves!

The finish is on par with Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color and Visee Aqua Shining Eyes. If you like shimmery shadows I highly recommend trying one or two shades out, you won't be disappointed. The texture is a tiny bit gritty but blending is still easy as the formula is a cross between a soft mousse and a cream which creates ease of application. The shadow feels a bit spongy and if you press down on it you'll come away with plenty of product to do one eye as a little goes a long way. My only real compliant is having to dip my fingers into the pot to use the product as this is a hands on experience and no makeup brush will help you blend and apply the shadow properly aside from your fingertips.







The color selection I choose is 03 which is very similiar to my favorite Visee Aqua Shining Eyes in GD002. The shade is a beige gold with plenty of golden shimmer. If I looked fast I'd say that the color was identical to looks I've creating using GD002.

I'm normally a big hater of cream shadows but since falling in love with Visee Aqua Shining Eyes I have broadened my horizons and tested the waters on cream shadows. I'm quite pleased that I indulged in Coffret D'Or Fluffy Shine Eyes as I liked the product immensely.













Although I simply loved the finish on these and the lasting power I have to remember I have quite a bit of space to work with on my eye which leads me to be unsure whether these are worth picking up if you have a tight Asian double eyelid. I think monolids can benefit from using these because you have a sincerely good area to work with however I worry that the formula is a bit gritty and will get caught between double lids and make for a rather uncomfortable experience with the shadow getting caught between the lids.

I'm heading to the theater tonight and have no time to change so I just wore my good makeup and clothes to work. I thought that the Fluffy Shine Eyes in 03 was a rather perfect shimmery eye for a night out!

To create my look I used the following:



Cheeks
NARS Blush in Super Orgasm

Eyes
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Black
MAC Technakohl in Black
Coffret D'Or Fluffy Shine Eyes in 03
Lorac Visual Effects Mascara
Sana Make Essence Concealer (Review coming soon!)

Lips
Too Faced Mirror Mirror Gloss
Dior High Shine Lipstick in Gispy Red











I paid retail for my pot which is probably converted to around $10-$13 USD or less and I have seen these for about the same amount on online shops such as Adam Beauty so if you're lemming them the price raise isn't too bad compared to Japanese drugstore retail.

The Muse approves these and highly recommends nabbing one! Her only compliant is lack of shades and the fact that she has to apply with her fingers plus she her worries about double lids.
