Parts 3 and 4 each have an eyeshadow quad, complete in the brand spankin' new eyeshadow quad packaging. I have to say that I don't love the new packaging -- it's glossy, so it holds fingerprints...
Each part includes one shade of nail lacquer. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed by these nail lacquers--they're all creams, and they suffer from evenness issues. I just found that they weren't easy...
Each part includes one "Blush Ombre," which is a new product type. The Blush Ombres are really pretty to look at, and they are pretty large. They're the size of MAC's Beauty Powders, Pressed Powders,...
The Crush Metal Pigment stacks contain four shades per set, but they actually come packaged in two "stacks," though you can technically stack all four together. They look much like MAC's...
Part 2 of the lipglasses... From these, my favorites were Purple Rage. What are your favorites?
Each part has a few lipglasses; the first two parts have three each, while the last two parts have two each. This gives us a grand total of ten freakin' lipglasses...
There are eight single eyeshadows that debut in this launch. There are four from part one and four from part two. Additionally, there are two eyeshadow quads being released in parts three and four, respectively,...
Make sure you keep the official collection information bookmarked, because Spring Colour Forecast is a doozy. With four "parts," this collection is positively enormous--though not surprising as it anniversarizes last year's mega-popular Hello Kitty...
Lancome Love It! Color Design Lipstick ($22.00) is a soft, rosy petal-pink with a glossy sheen. On lips, it goes on semi-opaque and looks and feels creamy (but not thick). It really just looks like it melted into lips for very...

I try to moisturize with hand cream often (a few times a day). Whenever I wear polish, I do a base coat, polish coat, top coat, and a drying coat!
Thanks to Chess for this question!
From several readers' comments, it sounded like there was trouble using this quad, but I didn't seem to share a lot of the concerns readers had. When I originally tested it, I just did one eye (the other eye was something else...), so I figured I'd at least do...

Maybelline Eye Studio Green with Envy Eyeshadow Quad ($7.49 to $9.99) is new from Maybelline for spring. Though the packaging is nothing to write home about (typical mass packaging--feels cheap, not the sturdiest palette...
Urban Decay Eden Eyeshadow Primer Potion ($18.00) is the newest version of Primer Potion to debut this spring season. Like the original Urban Decay Primer Potion and follow-up Sin, Eden helps to prevent creasing, helps your eyeshadow stay on...

I haven't considered it, but I imagine I might consider it in ten years. But then I don't know if I'd ever go through with it!
Thanks to Dusty for this question!

Illamasqua Chased Blush ($23.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a matte, blue-based medium pink. I know Sephora describes this as a lilac pink, but I don't know if that's very accurate. Its not so much lilac as it is just a very cool-toned pink. Personally, I found...
Le Metier de Beaute Apricot Creme Lip Gloss ($36.00) is a peachy-nude cream gloss with just a touch of golden shimmer laced through it. It is, primarily, a cream finish gloss, though, so it can settle into lip lines. I find that it's...

My tinted moisturizer. I'm not sure which one I'd keep... it'd be a game-time decision!
Thanks to Samantha for this question!
Chanel Exquise Rouge Allure Lipstick
Chanel Exquise Lipstick ($30.00) is a beautiful yellow-based, warmed-up pink with golden shimmer. It's a semi-opaque lipstick that gives decent coverage, but more pigmented lips may find it isn't full coverage enough to...
