Givenchy Le Prisme Mono e/s in Smart Nude & Couture Beige

Hi everyone! Le Prisme Mono ($29 for 0.12 oz) Smart Nude (left) is a pinky nude, and Couture Beige is a golden beige. Each is a 4 in 1 e/s. One shade is matte while the other three have different shimmer and finishes. Ca be used individually or all mixed together.
They are both beautiful, I couldn't decide which to get so I got both. :D I like these as an all over wash with just liner. Givenchy's e/s are amazing quality, if you haven't tried them I highly recommend you do.

Packaging is gorgeous ad luxurious

Couture Beige. I swatched each color individually first and then the last swatch is all of them together.


Smart Nude. You can't tell but I did swatch the matte shade. The last two are MAC Jest and Naked Lunch for comparison.

Givenchy Le Prisme Visage Mat Soft Compact Face Powder in 86 Toffee Taffeta

Hi everyone! Toffee Taffeta ($46 for 0.38 oz) is a bronze colored face powder. Has four squares with different shades that according so Sephora's description are supposed to combine to "form a unique blend that presents subtle and attractive harmonies for maximum radiance." Sounds pretty fancy, doesn't it? Supposedly this is a face powder, but it's SO shimmery. I bought it to use on my cheeks. That's how dark I am, I use bronzers as blush, but that's a separate story.Well anyways, I wore this puppy today and i'm not sure how I feel about it. It looked muddy on me and didn't easily blend. Also faded very fast, by the 2nd hour it was gone. Same thing happened yesterday with their Fashionista Brown blush. Which really sucks cause both products look so gorgeous in the pan!
Texture is powdery, soft, and silky, but like I said, tough to blend. Packaging looks gorgeous but feels quite flimsy. Has a 2nd compartment on the bottom that slides out to reveal a blush. But that's the flimsy part, it's really wobbly. But I still love the look of it, so i'll shut up lol. I'm gonna use this a little longer and see if it works for me or not. Has a light violet scent that's very similar to Guerlain though not as strong.

Ugh, it swatches so pretty! I really hope this ends up working for me.

Givenchy Le Prisme Mono e/s in Elegant Taupe

Hi everyone! Be prepared for taupe goodness. Taupe e/s is my FAV. My face was like this :O when I first saw this shadow. Elegant taupe ($29 for 0.12 oz, purchased at Sephora) is four e/s in. It's squared with four little squares that are all same color but different finishes that are matte, shimmery, and frosty. Can be used individually or all four color mixed. My fav square has gorgeous pink shimmery. I did a look with this yesterday. Wore the pink shimmer from lid to crease then the matte e/s as a crease color, MAC Brule as highlight, then liner and mascara. Perfect for a simple and easy look.

Texture: Smooth, great pigmentation, and very long lasting. Lives up to It's price. Stayed put from morning to night.

Packaging: Exquisite! Logo on lid is mirrored and looks so elegant. Compact is smooth black metal and comes with a magnetic closure, mirror, and sponge applicator. Sponge applicator is angled at the end so It slides out, It's the coolest thing! *iz easily amused* Now THIS is packaging. Can't wait to buy more!
