So today I will be reviewing one of my favorite makeup products: eyeshadows and blushes. :) I was in SM BF last weekend and was in the SM Department Store- stocking and buying my toiletries, what never passes up is that whenever I go to the mall, I will always go to the beauty department to check out if there was any new products available from makeup brands. As I was at the Marionnaud counter looking for a new pencil/ eyeshadow brush, this Watsons counter was beside it and the packaging caught my attention. What actually caught my attention first hand was the packaging. I found the packaging cute and attractive. My curiousity hit me and upon checking it out, I found out this was an eyeshadow palette. :) When I opened it, I saw this beautiful palette of eyeshadows and 2 blushes included, upon checking the price at the back of the packaging, it only costs Php 99.00! I couldn't pass this up so of course I picked this up immediately.
Actually, they have 2 palettes available for this, one is this one with the green packaging and the other was a blue packaging. I wasn't able to take a photo of the other palette available but it has more reddish and pink shades. I am into nude and brown and dark shades that's why I chose this one instead. I know I already have a lot of eyeshadows and eyeshadow palettes in my collection and all of these have this same type of shades. It's just that since these colors are my choice for my eyeshadow looks, I prefer purchasing palettes of eyeshadows like this because I know I will be able to use them instead of buying bright colors or whatnot which I won't be able to use anyway. I don't want to waste hard earned money on something I wouldn't think of using and just stocking up in my makeup drawer just so I can say I have a wide variant of shades available.
Anyway, I am not familiar with this brand. I am not even sure if this is like a Watsons brand or is this like another one of their limited edition makeup brands where they are only seasonally available. Upon checking the packaging though, I think this is also intended as a Christmas present since the packaging really looks sleek and very cute.
So if you check the photos above, this has actually 12 shades of eyeshadows, 2 blushes and a big mirror. That's also something that attracted me was the big mirror included in it. At least, when you're on the go, you can just easily grab this palette and do your makeup using the palette itself since it does have a mirror already.
Ingredients:
Eyeshadows and Blush:
Talc, Mica, Mineral Oil, 2-Ethyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Petrolatum, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacylapidate-2, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tocopherol Acetate.
I really like the warm shades it has. All eyeshadow shades are shimmer shades though but upon checking, they are blendable. I wasn't able to take a photo when I used it already but I can say that they are very pigmented. I did swatches on my forearm and this is how it looks like. Unfortunately, my camera didn't do any justice in showing the pigmentation of these eyeshadows:
And below is the photo of the swatches I did on the blushes. However, what i observed is that the blushes are somewhat powdery.
What I like:
- It is very affordable- Php 99.00 only for 12 shades and 2 blushes
- Packaging is cute and sleek and can easily be put inside the makeup kit.
- Packaging is cute and attractive that you can also give this as a Christmas present.
- It has a large mirror included.
- Upon purchase, it has a plastic cover/ separator taped to it to make sure that the product will be untouched and won't get ruined while still on display for selling.
-Available in SM Department Stores- Watsons Area.
-Pigmentation is really good.
-Claims that it is cruelty free.
What I don't like:
- It doesn't have an eyeshadow/ blush applicator. (Anyway, we can't expect all that for its price)
- Blushes are somewhat powdery and a bit chalky.
- Upon checking with the saleslady, this is only limited edition which came out just for a holiday season.
For now, I will be using this one instead of my other eyeshadow palettes since I really find the colors lovely. It's like all the shades I will be needing here to create my all time favorite smokey eye makeup look are in here, from the transition shade to the dark shades I can put on my crease areas.
So that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this post and I will be posting a lot more makeup product reviews in the upcoming days so stay tuned! :)
