RMK.

Roger Me Kiddo, Ripped Me Kilt, Rat Mates Kangaroo.

Well, who knows.

Anyway, one of yyc’s fave lines of J-make (that means makeup in Nihongo-speak).
Fall faves are two grooves of Jelly Cheeks and highlighter hues and the glam tones of gold and neutrals for eyes.

This jell stuff seems to be the rage here. Still trying to find a way to describe the sensation of dabbing a finger into a Portuguese Man O War. Oh well…….

Pixi by Petra cosmetics

We first stumbled on Pixi’s line in New York’s Henri Bendel cosmetics floor about six years ago. Bendel’s used to be a haven for many newer, trendy make up brands looking to break through the retail market (much more than it is today).

A few weeks later while ambling along London’s Carnaby Street in London, we discovered their shop (flagship is a bit of a grand description for the place) and bumped into one of the proprietresses, Sarah, whom we had met weeks before in the US. We were treated to an excellent showing of the range of their line (two sisters who established this company).

Pixi by Petra palettes available at Target

Happily, after not seeing the products for several years, we did have the pleasant surprise of seeing their ‘diffusion’ line offered at Target (similar to that done by artists Jemima Kidd and Napoleon Perdis for the company).

Pixi lip glow kit

Nice workable hues with several options per palette. Refreshing and affordable.

Pixi for Petra Eye Beauty Kit

ColorOn Instant Eye Shadow Application

ColorOn Eye Envy press 'n peel eyeshadowSephora catalog

Sort of a cross between ‘rub ons’ and ‘colour forms’ for eyes.
Just pray your eye shape matches that of their ‘fit’ model.
Otherwise….well, hell to pay.
Of course, if you’re doing it this way, you may not know the difference anyway, so ENJOY!
