Better late than never, they say. I almost missed the train going to Make-Up Ville, but luckily made it. I have just recently got hooked on makeup, because it was never really something I obsessed with before. I am the proverbial late bloomer, I must admit.
My Eureka moment came when I received an eyeshadow palette with 88 Matt colors and this pretty cosmetic bag with mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and pressed powder from Saint Germain Paris Make up. Having this chance to review their products almost feels like winning the lottery.
French designer Patrick Foucart came up with this line of makeup. It was named after Saint-Germain-des-Prés which is a region in Paris. Saint Germain Paris Makeup boasts of a line ranging from products for the face, eyes, lips and nails. These are all free of harmful chemicals and are suitable for all skin types. What I especially like about their makeup is that they are vegan and gluten-free. It brings to life the sophistication Paris is known for. It’s high quality makeup at a budget-friendly price.
Matt Eyeshadow Pallette 88 Colors Can you believe this only cost $20.76, I don’t think you can get a better deal that this! Other high end cosmetic brands will only give you 1 or 2 eyeshadows for the same price. I love the colors that they have here. You’ll find basically every color a girl could ask for- from pastel colors to earthy browns and champagnes. This palette comes with a mirror and 2 sponge applicators but I suggest you use a make-up brush instead, as it yields better results.
Saint Germain Paris Lipstick in Pink. This cost $3.96! What a steal!! I love the color when I saw it but when I applied it on my lips, I didn’t like it very much. I think it doesn’t go too well with me. But as for I must say this held up quite well. It took a couple of hours before it was gone. I like the moisture it gives my lips as well. What I didn’t like though is the glitter. It’s just not my thing. I think next time I would go for the plum pink color.
Their eyeliners cost $ 3.16 each which I think is also a very good price. They have several colors to choose from like coffee, blue sea, parma, white, silver, bordaux and black. I used the black one yesterday and am happy to report that it lasted all day long.
The compact powder I got came in ivory pink, and I was only too excited to give it a try. The cost of this is $7.96. I must say that it did a pretty good job at covering up my skin imperfections, giving it the impression of a flawless finish. Patting my face with their powder made me feel nothing short of a classy and chic French lady.
Moving on to the Classic Mascara, this one cost $4.76. I gave my lashes a sweep and was pleased with the outcome. It gave my somewhat thin lashes more definition and depth. My lashes looked naturally longer, without the annoying 
clumpiness. I was also impressed with its staying power, as it lasted me the entire day, with nary a trace of smudge.
Verdict: In a nutshell, Saint Germain Paris makeup is an affordable cosmetics collection with contemporary design and unmistakable Parisian sophistication. I highly recommend Saint Germain Paris products to everyone.
