RBR Gracious Arasari and Know What Lies Are For Applied

As promised here are the products I talked about yesterday applied. I think you will probably see what I mean about the lipstick colour in the picture taken with flash. I think I can get away with it and probably with a bit of gloss I could warm the colour a little. Let me know what you think.

Apologies for the colour of my brows. I've been using a Karin Herzog cream, it's yellow and seems to have made my brows look bleached. I didn't spot it until I looked at the pictures!

RBR Gracious Arasari and Know What Lies Are For

My Secret Sales order arrived this week, so I thought I'd share with you a couple of the items that I got. I ordered Gracious Arasari eyeshadow and Know What Lies Are For lipstick, as well as Sketches on Water tinted moisturiser which I haven't included here.

Gracious Arasari, Solstice Halcyon

Gracious Arasari is described as a semi-matte nude taupe with the barest whisper of pink. It certainly is a nude colour, in swatches applied to the back of my hand it is very hard to spot the colour. In the pictures below I have swatched Gracious Arasari on the underside of my arm next to Solstice Halcyon. To me it is a light, slightly golden brown and it adds the barest amount of colour. As you can see next to Solstice, it has no mauve tone. I intend to use this as a base colour and also to buff out hard lines.

I expect this to be a useful eyeshadow for me but if you're looking for colour or you're new to Rouge Bunny Rouge, something like Delicate Hummingbird or Abyssinian Catbird might be a better introduction.

Solstice Halcyon, Gracious Arasari

Know What Lies Are For is a hard colour to describe. It was also quite hard to photograph accurately! I was expecting it to be a dark nude however I find it to be much deeper brown than a nude. In the photographs it looks a little rosey but in person I don't see the pink and it's quite cool and blue in tone. It has the same luxurious, creamy texture of my other RBR lipstick. The colour is a little out of my usual comfort zone but I think it's workable. I will leave it up to you to decide what you think when I post pictures of all the items applied!

KWLAF, Gracious Arasari, Solstice Halcyon

These are nice products but not my favourites of my Rouge Bunny Rouge collection. Gracious Arasari is going to be a good useful staple though. I am a little more excited about Sketches on Water which I'm enjoying using at the moment. I will hold off reviewing until I've used it for a few weeks.

**Update** As a final note I wanted to mention that Zuneta are offering 10% off this weekend using the code XMASZU. The offer has been extended until midnight tonight (Mon 6th). Have you ordered anything already?
