Guerlain Holiday 2014 Feat. Palette Petrouchka : Review, Swatch, FOTD

Guerlain Holiday 201, Palette Petrouchka, Review, Swatch, Holiday Must-Have

::    affiliate    ::

Christmas came early to TheFabZilla headquarters, thanks to Mrs.Claus for convincing Santa that a hardworking woman named Kathryne deserves the new Guerlain Holiday 2014 Palette Petrouchka, so much so that it’s no longer a battle between need vs. want.  “Enjoy your new palette. xox, Mrs. Claus. PS. ‘thought you’ll love the lippy too“

Tell me I wasn’t dreaming! Drool-worthy in astronomic proportion, my excitement can’t be contained the moment I laid eyes on these beauties. I mean look at Palette Petrouchka ($90, limited edition, Sephora online only), from the gold packaging to its tiered presentation, holiday luxe is in the air zillas!

From the words of Mrs.Claus “I chose this palette for you Kathryne because it has everything you need, five sheer iridescent eyeshadows that are perfect for the holidays: champagne, gold, copper, brown, taupe-brown; a mirror big enough for your touch-ups; and four mini-blushes to play with”. Vixen, our makeup-loving reindeer said not to throw that red ribbon away, wear it on you wrist or hair my special Guerlain-loving child”.

Mumbling and teary-eyed from sheer happiness, I wrote back:

Dear Mrs. Claus,

You definitely know how to make a woman happy. I took photos right away, ultra-careful not to make the slightest dent. I hesitated touching it because it’s a collector’s item but I’m sure you understand that I run a beauty blog so here are my thoughts on Palette Petrouchka….

All five eyeshadows swatched beautifully as captured in the photo. Applied over an eye primer, I had no creasing problems throughout the day. They feel soft and buttery, something I expected from a designer brand. I believe women who prefer warm neutrals will like this palette more. The darker hues are my favorite (chocolate brown and taupe brown), followed by copper. Gold is quite a dud because it had fallouts despite tapping and applying it wet. The blushes are so pigmented but indeed tiny so I had to use a small or pointed brush to make it work. I tried blending all shades using a larger powder brush but I didn’t like the aftermath so I’m sticking with individual shades. Consistent with all Guerlain products, this palette smells divine, mildly-fragrant but never migraine-inducing. Overall, the main selling point of Petrouchka is the perfectly-coordinated eyeshadows and operatic packaging, as inspired by its iconic fragrance Coquer D’Or.

P.S. I’m too old for bows but tell Vixen that I did wear the red ribbon today….

Finally, here’s my FOTD feat. Palette Petrouchka… I used all but gold for my eye makeup and light-handedly applied coral blush on my cheeks. I kept it subdued but promise I’ll do a dramatic look one of these days…

Again, thank you Mrs. Cla……..
6:45am, alarm clock cuts on….. wow, that was one magical dream!
Truth is, thanks to myself for gifting myself this early. Now that’s more like it, haha!

What’s the most recent gift you gifted yourself with? I know I’m not alone!

Kathryne

  • Hope your Saturday is fly 🕶 I’ve gained new followers this week so I thought I’d do 10 random facts about moi: 1. First job at 18 y/o teaching people to recycle/reuse (summer job) 2. First purchase from first salary from first job: round sunnies which I thought was cool back then 3. Been dancing hiphop since the 90s. 4. I am a Registered Nurse, BSN, MBA. I got into pharmaceutical sales and marketing management in my mid-20s to early 30s. Highly stressful career if you ask me. 5. I am an Aesthetic Registered Nurse now. There’s only a handful of us here in Hawaii. 6. I’m a bagaholic. I have a YouTube playlist featuring vegan handbags 7. I’m a social butterfly but also prefer to be alone during my downtime 8. I’m quiet when I’m hangry 9. Becoming vegan wasn’t difficult for me because I grew up eating all kinds of vegetables and fruits. Yes, I love even bitter melon. 10. The easiest tip to transition? Cook the same way, season the same way but take out all animals and byproducts. Substitute with veggies! Everything can be veganized nowadays!

  • It’s Earth month. Instead of just merely acknowledging it, why not do something that’s actually actionable not just for a day or for a month, but for lifetime. Start with one goal, walk the talk, then add as you get accustomed to your newfound lifestyle. For example, 1. Ditch plastic. The past weeks had been horrific for marine life. The carcass of a pregnant sperm whale got washed up in Sardinia, Italy, with over 40 pounds of plastic in its stomach, together with a lifeless fetus. In Davao, Philippines, a dead whale got washed ashore with over 80 pounds of ingested plastic (shopping bags, rice sacks). What you can do: recycle/reuse, bring your own shopping bag, don’t use plastic straws & utensils. 2. Re-think fast fashion. The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world. Fast fashion is basically cheaply made clothes mostly manufactured from third world countries where child labor, unsanitary work conditions, health hazards, and cheap labor exist. Fast fashion means shorter life cycle for clothes which eventually end up in the landfill. What you can do: shop second hand, opt for quality than quantity 3. Go vegan. Truth: Animal farming produces more greenhouse gas than all the cars, planes, and transportation combined. By going vegan, you can reduce your carbon footprint by 73% (Univ. of Oxford, June 2018). You spare the animals from cruelty, you save the planet, you save your health (granting if you eat a well balanced whole food plant based).
  • Vegan japchae, anyone? Easy to make, super tasty! There are 4 key ingredients that you need to have to nail the flavor, all the rest you can replace with whatever veggies within your reach. Must-have: Korean glass noodles (made of sweet potato starch), 1/4 cup tamari (vegan soy sauce), 2 tbsps maple syrup, 1 tbsp sesame oil. The rest of ingredients: mushrooms, spinach, carrots, bell pepper, asparagus, sesame seed. How-to: Cook noodles per package instructions (usually 6 minutes). Slice bell pepper and carrots thin and vertical (so it’s in harmony with the noodles). Cut mushrooms and asparagus. Mince garlic, 2-3 cloves. Blanch spinach in hot water for 1 minute (same pot as the noodles). Sauté all veggies in sesame oil (note that I rarely use oil when cooking but this is one dish that requires it for the taste). Add soy sauce and maple syrup mixture. Add noodles. Reduce heat and let it cook for 8-10 minutes. Top with sesame seeds (optional). . . . #japchae #veganfood #plantbased #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #food #veganism #veganlife #foodporn #foodie #vegetarian #healthy #veganrecipes #veganfoodporn #veganeats #dairyfree #crueltyfree #govegan #plantbaseddiet #vegans #healthyfood #govegan #vegancommunity #veganlifestyle #cleaneating #hawaiiblogger
