Ria — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 21:30:56 +0000

Vincent Longo Diamante Quad Eye Shadow, $42.50

Here’s a great gift idea for your girlfriend or girl friend: the Vincent Longo Diamante Quad Eye Shadow. Makeup is a great gift idea because it’s pretty and practical.

The Diamante Quad Eye Shadow comes in four palettes. One in blacks and greys (Cassia), another one in nudes (Roja), and this one with nudes mixed in with bright jewel tones. The palette’s name in Aquila. It’s a great palette for day and night during the holiday season. I especially love the purple shade because it goes well with my skin tone. Wish somebody would give me one of this soon.

Visit BeautyBar.com for more Vincent Longo eye shadow palettes and make up products for your girlfriend or girl friends. Or if your a girl, it’s also a good gift for yourself, whether you’ve been naughty or nice.

Happy holiday shopping!
