One thing I really love about makeup is its ability to conjure up memories. Often, that can take the form of a signature scent or look. For me, this Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio ($33) brings up memories of a trip I took to Washington DC.
I was dreadfully excited that there was Macy's nearby, as we don't have one near where I live. In all honesty, the store was a bit overwhelming but the cosmetics counters were spectacular!
My eye caught on the lovely trios sitting on the Shiseido counter. My wonderfully exotic looking saleswoman offered to do a makeup look on me with this trio, GD804 - Opera.
Does that middle color look a bit green to you? It does to me but it actually comes across as gold-ish.
I loved the look she created and just had to pick up this baby. This was my first piece of (what I considered at the time) very high-end makeup. However, this is actually a great amount of product and it's so creamy and pigmented that you hardly need to use any to have a great impact!
Plus, this was my "souvenir" for the trip! I felt big in a big city when I left Macy's and explored DC. Wonderful! (I even got compliments from a few strangers that day!)

I know what you're thinking: "What would I ever do with that baby blue color?!" I thought the same thing. Put the middle shade as a wash all over your lid and then use the dark green in your crease. Then, with a really light touch, take a bit of that blue and put it on the outer corner of your lid. The key is to go lightly!
I do love this trio and definitely recommend it! You can purchase on Shiseido's website HERE. I wouldn't mind having VI308 - Bouquet and PK403 - Boudoir in my stash!
