My first Coffret D'or ever! Coffret D'or is under the huge Japanese brand Kanebo. Kaneba isn't a stranger to me, my first liquid liner that I bought prior to my engagement party is from Kanebo and I love it to bits.
I want to thank my dearest friend for sending me this on my birthday! I have always wanted to try this.

Cons

- some of the shimmer can transfer to other parts of your face
- looks very very shiny on flash camera
- not readily available
Overall
Base on research and further readings, the Coffre D'Or Fluffy Shine Eyes was released Autumn of 2008. Only 5 shades were released with "Pure Shine Pearls" which gives your eyeshadow a 3D effect depending on which angle you are looking at. Personally, I've seen a lot of similar packaging and concept from different Japanese and Korean brands. I admit, the packaging, the concept looks luxurious and I want to own it for the sake of having an aesthetically gorgeous product on top of my makeup table!
My final thoughts after using one, this is a great product if you are someone who likes shimmery eyeshadow. This products works alone and as an eyeshadow base to intensify your boring powder eyeshadow. The mousse-y texture makes it easy to blend and it dries up almost instantly!
The only problem is that, this was released a long time ago, I've done some research and seen ebay or some online sellers selling them but the prices are jacked up to $30 above and the retail price of this is only around $10-$15.
If you have someone to swap with, then go for it. To go through all the trouble to find this and pay for the high price? Not worth it.
Tips
- apply a similar shade of eyeshadow on top of this fluffy shine eyes to lessen the shimmer and intensify eyeshadow color, making it 3 dimensional
- use your clean fingers to gently apply this all over your lids
- always close the cap tightly after use
- if you want a sheer shade, gently blend out with short strokes
- press down the product directly onto the lid for a more pigmented shade
Will I repurchase?
No, I think this one pot is enough, I think this will dry up on me before I finish this up.
Where to purchase and how much?
I haven't checked local Kanebo counters, but online for approx $30.00+ (approx Php1,300+)
Coffret D'Or Fluffy Shine Eyes in 05
The shade is purple with a bit of bluish undertone. This works well as a base for my purple eyeshadow and even pinks! I like applying this just on my crease area not going beyond the lid for a nice "shimmer" everytime I blink!
