Sunrise Collection includes a colorful array of eye and lip colors, including an awe-inspiring blush that you need to get your hands on. To see some swatches, click.......

Sunkiss Ribbon Blush Harmony

Sunkiss Ribbon Blush Harmony ($57 CAD):
Undeniably the star of the collection, the Sunkiss Ribbon Blush Harmony is a gorgeous multi-color blush powder. With splashes of hot fuchsia, bold orange, rosy pink, coppery beige, and soft coral, the blush is designed to be swirled together to create a soft and natural warm rose glow with subtle golden sheen.
The shiny black compact holds a generous 11g of powder, divided up into the five different color blocks, each pressed with an exquisite ribbon design. The formulation is absolutely wonderful; the powder is finely milled and wonderfully pigmented. The small blocks of individual colors are too small to be used used on their own so it's best to swirl a blush brush around the compact to catch a bit of all the colors.

Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in "925 Pacific Green" ($35 CAD):
With a sleek and thin twist-up design (with a mini sharpener tucked away at the tail end), the Stylo Yeux in "925 Pacific Green" is a very pretty and sophisticated sea foam green. The formulation is quite sheer with soft flecks of golden micro-shimmers. Although sheer, the liner applies like a gel, gliding effortlessly across the lid. The waterproof promise is no exaggeration as the color is smudge-proof and sweat-proof. I even had trouble removing it with Bioderma's micelle solution.

Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in "116 Mighty" ($41 CAD):
Housed in a slim black and gold lipstick case, "116 Mighty" appears to be a super bright cool pink in the tube. When swatched, though, this color is extremely sheer; one swipe barely registers any color. There are some very subtle shimmer particles but they are not noticeable when worn. The formulation is very moisturizing, slick, and lightweight with a natural sheen, but the wear isn't too great due to the sheerness and gel-like texture.

Le Vernis Nail Gloss in "683 Sunrise Trip" ($31 CAD):
This is a gorgeous deep violet polish with jelly finish. The formulation is semi-sheer so it has a squishy-looking finish. The polish is fairly easy to work with, but there is some patchiness due to the sheer coloration. I used three coats on some nails and two on the others.
