Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N -My Collection^^

Since I cannot find anyone near me that would like to share Elaine's cool idea of "Project Jelly" with me, I have to collect these Jelly Eye Color one by one all by myself....

Eye Jellies I have collected so far:

#104 satin lingerie

#09 midnight shine

#10 vintage decor

#13 antique chiffon

#14 dazzling tear

#17 murmuring river

#18 bird flutter

Swatches on the back of my hand, with labels:

You can refer to my detail posts about the 3 shimmery bases for #17 murmuring river, #104 satin lingerie, and #14 dazzling tear here. They are quite similar but they all have their subtle difference.


#18 bird flutter is some color that I need to use in caution so I don't look being punched in the eye, but regardless it is a lovely coral color that will look awesome on someone with fairer skintones.


#13 antique chiffon and #10 vintage decor looks like they are from the same family of taupes. I like to use them together with the lighter #13 antique chiffon on my overall lid and #10 around my outer V. 


#09 midnight shine is the latest addition to my family. This color was released a while ago, but back then I wasn't into makeup and it was not until lately that I decided to explore eyeshadow colors out of my comfort zone (browns and neutrals). But they are currently sold out in Jill Stuart counters in Hong Kong, so I have to succumb to Ebay to get it! It is a lovely royal blue that looks fantastic on a evening date for me (or Lenny Kravitz concert I have been to last month!) I am glad I hauled it before I regret!


Another picture for swatches under the sun:

And in shade. Interestingly in this picture, the taupes appear to be more greenish than they should be?

Interestingly, I must admit that in my earlier stages of applying these jellies, my fingers were quite clumsy and glitter is everywhere in my under eye area. Now as I get better I like to reach out to them because they are very easy and fast to apply..... and the best part? I dont need to use a eyeshadow brush, meaning one less item to wash after make up!

Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N -Shimmery bases

I remember my very first Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N was from the 2010 X'mas Secret Tease Collection, 104 satin lingerie , and it was one of the first higher end Japanese makeup that I purchase when I first started getting into makeup.


Since then my Jelly Eye collection grow and up till now I have a total of 7 colors from the past year's worth of collection.


Today I am going to share the shimmery bases that I occasionally use for a bling effect. They are:


14 dazzling tear
17 murmuring river
104 satin lingerie 

From the photos, dazzling tear and murmuring river looks very similar to each other, and they are kind of a eggshell color with tons of shimmers in the pot. Satin lingerie, on the other hand, has a soft pink hue to it.

Satin lingerie is also the only one that has a special cap with black lace details (because it is from a LE edition??) while the rest has white lace details.

Test swatches on my arm. From left to right, 17 murmuring river, 14 dazzling tear, and 104 satin lingerie 

Under the shade. As you can see when swatching it, murmuring river and dazzling tear is really showing a difference here. Yes, both are very shimmery, but I will say murmuring river appears to be whiter and more silvery, while dazzling tear is more golden and has a champagne tint to it. And I also think murmuring river has the most shimmer out of the 3. Satin lingerie doesn't really show any kind of pink pigments to it and its glitter seems to be the chunkist out of the 3.

Another angle under the shade. It also shows that both murmuring river and dazzling tear is more packed with shimmers, while satin lingerie doesn't have much shimmers in the jelly mix.

Another shot under the sun. Notice how pretty the shimmers are?

For those who prefer mattes, they should stay away from these glitter bomb like jellies. They do have some fall out and application of them can be a tad tricky, because you typically apply these jellies with your finger and blend it in. During the first few times of using these jellies, my clumsy fingers caused some of the glitters to fall on to my under eye area, which are a pain to remove because these glitter just stays on! But these jellies have pretty good lasting power and in terms of creasing, I have only experience slight creasing by the end of the day (usually 6 hours or more).


Somehow I wish they come out with smaller packaging because I don't think I can ever finish the entire 6g of them before they dry out.... nor do I have buddies close by me that is willing to do a "project jelly" with me.... so it will take a long time for me to use them all up!

EOTD - Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N 104 Satin Lingerie

As per my dear friend Lala's request, I am going to post a review on my newly acquired Jill Stuart Jelly Eye Color N Limited Edition 104 Satin Lingerie.

This JS Jelly Eye came as part of a limited edition set from the JS 2010 X'mas Secret Tease Collection, but knowing I will not use all of the items that came with the set, I just purchased this Jelly Eyes and the Blush Blossom in 101 Sensual Dahlia seperately.  I have also acquired the X'mas limited edition (from Taiwan) eye palette in 101 Smokey Quartz, which I will review later in a separate blog article.

Prior to this purchase, I have seen reviews online saying that the texture is very funny but hard to describe. It's indeed interesting! It has a "bouncy" feeling, like pressing down to some kind of mousse like whipped cream or jello. And it has a sweet floral scent as well.

Swatches on my hand:

Under direct sunlight

In the shade

As you can see, Satin Lingerie is a very pale pink sheer color. It's very sparkly and this is how it look on my eyes:

I have also applied a lighter and darker purple from my Kanebo T'estimo palette to enhance the liner and crease area. Eyeliner is from NARS and mascara is from MJ as usual.

Overall, I like the texture and shimmers/sparkles that the Jelly Eyes deliver. There is not much creasing after hours of applying, unlike the Canmake Jewelstar cream shadow which would have creased up by the 4th hour.

6 hours after application, under yellow light.

I would like to try deeper colors like taupe from their collection if I get a chance to buy JS again.
