| The new Surratt Beauty Artistique Eyeshadow shades. |
Finely milled and wildly pigmented, the *Surratt Beauty Artistique Eyeshadow (also reviewed HERE and HERE) has just added 24 new shades to its already extensive lineup; ranging from the palest eggshell to the richest midnight, these eye shadows are breathtakingly beautiful, blend like a dream and resist creasing, even after the course of a long day. I have loved them since the line’s launch three years ago and am over the moon at the extended offerings!

Up first is the *Scouted by Sephora Sephora Favorites box, which features five unique beauty gems in convenient sample sizes:

Delicious post, Rachel. Are all the new colors of Surratt blush shimmery? It kind of looks that way from the photos but not quite sure. I think the original colors were all mattes…
Thanks so much, Teadivamuse! It is good to hear from you!
With regards to your question, no, not all the new colors of the Surratt Blush are shimmery. In fact, only Barbe A Papa, Cherubique, Halo, Flame, Coupe de Genie and Angelique (6 of the 12) are shimmery and the other 6 (Classique, Tu me Fais Rougir, La Rosee du Soir, Brilliant Idee, Peau de Peche and Chaleur) are a velvety matte finish!
Hope that helps…they truly are lovely…XO,
