Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer #13 Review and Swatches

Today I bring you Armani Fluid Sheer in #13 which is a liquid luminizer / highlighter. Truthfully, I have one or two of such products at home and I seldom use them, however my heels went weak when I swatched this at the counter during a recent visit, my mind had been pondering on it ever since.

Then I brought it home.

On the fence with: NARS Multiple in Copacabana// NARS Copacabana多用途膏狀highlighter

Today I am introducing a product which I don't really like, which is unusual for a product junkie. I was told that NARS Copacabana Multiple is a highlighter which, can also double as an eyeshadow base. Whichever the case, this product is such a fail n my skin. It is the first NARS Multiple I used.

今天為大家介紹一樣我不太喜歡的product, 對你或者我來說都很詫異吧. NARS品牌出了名上色度高, 持久度高, 基本上 我都很同意. 但這支Copacabana Multiple令我失望了. 這是我第一支Multiple, Copacabana這類顏色適合用來做highlight, 也有人告訴我這個可同時用作眼影底霜, 令眼影的顏色持久一點. 不過, 2種用法都不太成功啦...
NARS Multiples come in a higher price than their powder/cream blush, but you get 14g of product, which is not bad. Yet sometimes quantity doesn't win...

NARS的Multiples比起盒裝的胭脂粉/膏貴一截, 好在有14克產品, 都還可以. 不過有是唔係質量取勝的嘛...
Copacabana is a shimmery "glistening pearl" shade, according to its website and Sephora. This kind of color turned ashy on my NC25 skin. It was difficult to dot and blend on cheekbones, and the sheen it gives to my skin makes me look greasy. That's the last thing I wanted. I imagine this might work best on other skin tones but really I've had enough of it after using it 5 times or so. I just don't find myself reaching for it and that means something.

Copacabana的顏色是閃閃的珍珠色 (但不是白色喇), 有點似生蠔灰灰的顏色 XD 這類顏色對於我的面色來說不好看, 加上它閃閃的, 好容易令人覺得你油光滿面. 我用了5次之後開始苦惱, 不知道怎處置它. 一般上, 我化妝時是隨心的, 突然想用什麼便用什麼, 如過我甚少使用某product, 你可以猜是什麼一回事了.
Swatched:
試色, 右面是推開了的圖:
I tried using it as an eyeshadow base and apply on the lid, which was alright. But do I need another eyeshadow primer? Probably not, as the multiple stick design is rather bulky and difficult to use it on the eyelid.

Price: Rather high for a highlighter/blush
Packaging: Quite bulky
Ease of use: Difficult as it's not easy to blend
Texture: Cream
Finish: shimmery, makes me look greasy
Scent: None
Pigmentation: Medium

Verdict: Copacabana the shade is not the best for my skin tone, it doesn't really excel as a highlighter. However this is my first foray into NARS Multiples and I'm interested in trying the same multiple in Angelika, which is a hot pink.

我試過用來做眼影底霜, 效果OK, 但有需要多一支眼影底霜嗎? 其實不用. 它的包裝亦不方便使用在眼瞼上, 會很容易出界.

價錢: 頗貴(如果用途只是highlighter來說的話)
包裝: 幾大舊/重
使用容易程度: 手背還可以, 但很難在面上推開
質感: 膏狀
效果: 閃, 看下去很油光滿面似的
香味: 沒有
上色度: 中等, 還可以的

總評: 這類灰灰的珍珠色無論怎都不會好看啦 (以本人的面色來說), 用它作為highlighter的話又不太出眾. 不過這是我第一支NARS Multiple, 我比較有興趣試試Angelika (鮮粉紅)的顏色.
