Pretty and sexy, Jill Stuart's "Secret Tease Collection" is the most popular out of all the holiday coffrets released in 2010 and I think a lot of beauty bloggers will agree.
The sultry and seductive lace motif is incorporated into the box packaging, which will make the one opening it more excited. I know this because I felt it! ^_^
The delicate pouch made of soft pink satin and black lace:
Honestly, I don't think this pouch can hold a lot of weight because of the fabric used to construct it is very light. Can you spot the precious little "J" dangling on the bow? What a treat if your name starts with J! *jearrrous* Why cant it be spelled like Gill Stuart? Hahahaha! :P Just kidding! Gill sounds fishy. ^_~
When opened:
It has one zippered and one drawstring compartment inside.
Products included in the coffret:

Night Jewel Perfumed Body Powder
OMG, this is so FLUFFY. Even Lurvey liked how FLUFFY it looked he wanted to touch it. LOL! This pink powder puff has shimmer and the scent of Jill Stuart's Night Jewel fragrance, a very sweet and sultry floral (top note includes green tea and jasmine). Oh and do you see that tiny rosette in the middle? adorbs!
False eyelashes
FLUFFY feather falsies. I have to go get my eyebrows groomed professionally before I try this out. I think it will look better with thinner set of brows since its so full and almost bushy looking. This comes with a small tube of lash glue.
Blush Blossom 101 Sensual Dahlia:
The lace motif continues with the loose blusher packaging, the brush it comes with feels softer compared to the ones in the mixed blush compact which has denser bristles. However, I still prefer using a stippling brush when applying loose powder blushers to avoid looking like a clown.

looks nicer no? :)
Jelly Lip Gloss 102 Silky Pink
a very sheer pink shade, its a mildly sticky gloss with flecks of iridescent shimmer.
What surprised me was its moisturizing ability. It didn't make my lips feel dry which is very nice. This is my first lip product from Jill Stuart and I must say it gave me a good impression.
Jelly Eye Color N 104 Satin Lingerie
I really like the texture of JS eye jellies, 104 Satin Lingerie is no exception. However, its a very pale pink shade loaded with shimmer, and with my NC30 skin tone, it does nothing but brighten the eye because of the shimmer.
swatch:
here's 104 Satin Lingerie on my bare lids:
this is the only item in the set which disappointed me, I don't think I'll be able to use this much even as a highlighter since the shimmers are not really subtle. But I will still experiment and mix it with other pigmented shadows to discover its versatility and full potential. ;)
Despite my minor rant about the eye jelly, I'm very happy I got a hold of this sought after coffret. The quality is great and the theme is spot on trend with the lace packaging which influences a woman to feel the sweet and sexy image the brand evokes.
Thank you Jennifer for helping me get this limited edition coffret! and thank you lovelies for reading!
