Virginia Olsen 2013 Eyeshadow Launch

 Hello Loves!

Today, I attended the product launch of Virginia Olsen.

If you're not familiar with Virginia Olsen, here's a short description of the brand:

"Virginia Olsen is 100% natural, paraben free, bismuth & talc free, and pure mineral make-up suitable for women of any age, ethnicity or skin type. Our formulations are calming to the skin, making them ideal for women prone to sensitivities; and being fragrance-free, they are particularly compatible with delicate skin, giving a sheer, natural, flawless coverage. Further, our makeup unlocks the therapeutic properties of zinc oxide and the natural sunscreen provided by titanium dioxide.

Our extensive and affordable product-line includes foundations, blushers, eyeshadows, eyeliners, primers, finishing veils, concealers, HD makeup base, makeup brushes and Sophia Eyelash Enhancer. Virginia Olsen's eco-friendly and sustainable cosmetics are of the highest quality, celebrated by make-up artists, stylists, celebrities, dancers and models. "

"Virginia Olsen's pure mineral cosmetics are weightless, long wearing, water resistant and provides naturally high UVA and UVB protection. In this regard, Virginia Olsen is also recommended by dermatologists and cosmetologists for use on sensitive skin, and is safe to use after surgery, micro dermabrasion, laser and other beauty treatments" 

So anyway, what are these products that they are introducing??

Virginia Olsen is known to offer eye-catching, vibrant and fun mineral eyeshadows. This year, we’re adding ten more to our wide array of colors! Affordable for only Php 150 each, you can mix and match your eye makeup looks with six of our new matte-nificent shades (Puppy Love, Pumpkin, Forest, Spring, Prom Night, and Ibiza) and four of our sexy shimmers (Midnight Glam,

Lilac Lust, Sparkling Jade, and Sphinx). Available in the Philippines this May/June 2013.

Wooot!

Eyeshadows!! My favorite makeup! Yayyy!!

Hazel, their Marketing Assistant, prepared a detailed presentation of these new shades and we got the opportunity to try all 10 of them! We were swatching the shades on our arms non-stop! 

Besides the new products, we even get to play with their very soft brushes, foundies, concealers, blushes and their other eyeshadow shades!

So below are some pictures I took of the 10 shades:

They have 6 mattes and 4 shimmery ones. 

They had requests of adding more matte shades and here they are!

They have a lot of green shades since this year's color is Emerald!

Aren't they just lovely?

They are very pigmented too! All the swatches in the pictures I got from just one swipe! Imagine if I had a primer underneath!

 They also prepared a list of eyeshadows that they'd recommend for the summer! Summer colors that are indeed matte-nificent! :D

 Here I am posing with the marketing team of VO and fellow bloggers from the 2nd batch of the launch.
