Senna's Virtual Vintage

Adorned with a feminine logo, each product in Senna Cosmetics comes in either a matte gold compact or tube—making them look regal and treasure-like.

I tried out Senna’s new “Virtual Vintage” Collection for Fall/Winter 2011. After trying out the products in this royal reddish line, I think they are better classified in the category of “date night” make-up rather than “everyday make-up.” From the dark eye shadow to the maroon lipstick, this make-up would pair really well with dark outfits. Or, you can simply wear it for an intense look.










Senna 'Virtual Vintage' Collection, Fall/Winter 2010
SlipCover Cream to Powder Foundation: This foundation goes on quite smooth, and it is easy to blend in with the convenient sponge they provide you in the compact. Simply moisten the sponge (or use a foundation brush) and apply the cream onto your face. The cream then transforms into a soft, powder finish. It helps cover my freckles and spots of uneven skin tone without looking heavy. This product also helps to fill in fine lines, and wrinkles. It’s nice because I didn’t have to apply a lot of this product to see coverage.

SheerFace Color HUE: After applying the foundation, I applied this blush lightly to my cheekbones for a rosy-look. The blush goes on very lightly, so it adds just a touch of color. This specific blush I feel is better for darker or olive skin tones. It’s more neutral/tanned colored than pinky.

Eye Color POSH: This specific eye shadow is a very heavy pigment—a little bit goes a long way. It’s a very pretty rose/maroon shade with golden speckles in it, so it adds a little shimmer to your lids. I wouldn’t recommend using this shadow just as it is. I would use a couple lighter shades (possibly a lighter pink and a neutral beige) along with it just to even out the berry-like color.

Black Velvet Eye Lining Pencil: This charcoal-black eye liner goes on really smooth and adds impact to any look. It’s easy to blend in and there’s no clumping.

Lipstick STAIN: This lipstick looks really dark, but it actually doesn’t go on as dark as you would think. It’s great for all skin tones and it lasts for a long time. This is a great lipstick to use for a more dramatic look, and an evening out on the town!

Lipstick HEARTBREAKER: Just like Stain, it goes on really creamy and it provides long-lasing color. This lipstick adds a rosy tone to your lips and can be used for day or nightwear. If you’re feeling a little pale one day, add this lipstick and it will brighten up your look!

Lip Gloss LUSH: Mmm…creamy lip gloss; and it’s sooo sparkly! It really pairs nicely with the Heartbreaker lipstick. I can’t specifically describe what the scent of the gloss is, but I can tell you, it smells like dessert! It’s a great add on for a more youthful look.

Lip Liner DUBONNET: Use this lip liner first before applying the lipstick of your choice. I used this lip liner to fill in the fine lines on my lips, then after applying lipstick, I gently used this liner to touch up the edges. This specific maroon color goes nicely with eye shadow and both shades of lipstick in this collection.
