Review: Careline 12-Shades Eyeshadow Palette

Hey Loves!

Today I will be reviewing one of my newest purchases which is the Careline Eyeshadow 12 Shades with Vitamin E. I just recently got this and was inlove with it when I swatched it on my hands. As they say, it was love at first swatch. Haha. In addition to that it is very affordable, you can buy the palette with 12 shades for just Php 140.00. Very affordable, isn't it? :) 

Ingredients stated at the back of the packaging: 

(as you can see in the picture taken of the back of its box, the ingredients are too small to read in the picture)

Once you open up the box, this is what the palette looks like on the outside. It's just a simple white packaging with the brand name printed in the middle of it, nothing fancy. The packaging also is very handy as it is very sleek and can easily fit into your makeup kit.

 And once you open it, you will see the product itself. It is a good thing though that it does have that plastic separator though. If you can notice through the transparent plastic, you may assume that it does have specific names for the different shades. However, all it states are the Eyeshadow numbers but there aren't no specific names for each shade. Apparently, Eyeshadow No. 1 starts from the upper left (the white shimmery one) then downwards. So basically, the numbers are done in a vertical pattern. In addition to that, the palette comes with an eyeshadow applicator which I think is a plus. At least you're sure that the eyeshadow applicator is inside the palette so if you will be bringing this with you in your makeup kit, you know that there's little chance you will lose it as it is already inside its packaging. You just have to be careful in opening it though, to avoid the eyeshadow applicator from sliding off.

And of course, my favorite part, the swatches. :) If you can notice, I took two (2) pictures of the swatches I did on my forearm. Reason being is that I wanted to show how it looks like with camera flash and without flash. This actually made me very excited as each shade is very pigmented as you may notice in the pictures posted below. Whether with flash or without flash, pigmentation is very good, so i do like it. :)

This is something I highly recommend to makeup beginners and those who are on a budget but needs a variety of shades for their eyeshadow and everyday makeup look. For makeup beginners though, I advise being careful first in applying the product in your eyes because since it is highly pigmented, you have to make sure that you don't put too much if you're just aiming for a natural to light finish.

What I like about this product:

- It is very affordable: Php 140.00 only and you already get 12 shades.

- It is very accessible: available in SM Department Stores, Robinson's, Watsons and even in leading grocery stores like in SM Hypermarket and SM Supermarket.

- Since you have 12 shades in a single palette, you can create different eyeshadow looks, from natural to smokey. Also, this is a palette which can take you from a daytime look to a night time look.

- Pigmentation is very good. 

- Aside from a variety of colors, there are also two (2) matte shades - the brown and the black one which you can also use on your eyebrows and then the rest are shimmery shades.

What I don't like about the product:

- Since there is an eyeshadow applicator, and there's a respective place for it in the palette, when opening the palette, you have to be very careful in opening it even you don't want it to fall out.

- The white packaging, though very sleek is made out of thin plastic, so if be careful in handling it as it may actually break into two pieces or may cause the eyeshadows itself to crack and fall out.

Repurchase? YES!
