Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Collection Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: The Chocolate Bar experience begins as soon as you open the palette and the smell of sweet chocolate envelops you. The eye shadows are pigmented with pure, antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and includes 16 matte and shimmer shades of natural browns, delicate pinks and luscious plums. Includes our signature how-to Glamour Guide with three looks to get you started.

Too Faced Co-Founder and Creative Director Jerrod Blandino was inspired to combine the power of antioxidant-rich cocoa powder and makeup while having a chocolate facial and learning about the benefits of cocoa at a Hawaiian spa. Based on this inspiration we created our best-selling bronzer Chocolate Soleil and then Milk Chocolate Soleil and have now added the Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette.

New Shades:
Glided Ganache
White Chocolate
Milk Chocolate
Salted Caramel
Black Forest Truffle
Triple Fudge
Marzipan
Semi-Sweet
Strawberry Bon Bon
Candied Violet
Amaretto
Hazelnut
Creme Brulee
Haute Chocolate
Cherry Cordial
Champagne Truffle

MRP: $49

Finally the review. Its the most beautiful and gorgeous palette I won! And trust me, I own many :p But what can beat chocolate?! It looks like a chocolate bar and all the eyeshadows smell like chocolate too! Like what more would one need.

It has 16 shades from the nudes,beige to browns,purples,etc. The pigmentation is beyond amazing, I just touched the eyeshadow for swatches and I got real powder pigment coming out. The metallic and satin finish needed just a small touch not even a complete swipe for swatch. Matte shades in any palette are not usually very pigmented. But not here, the mattes are rich and pigmented too especially the browns. 1-2 matte shades out of the entire 16 would be a bit less pigmented. But none are chalky or dry, all the shadows are super creamy.

It comes with a guide for three different eye makeup looks.

They stay for a good 6-7 hours even without a primer and more so with a primer. I think this palette has all the shades one would ever need, unless you are a ‘brights’ person. I am a neutral lover and this one is just perfect for me. I reach for it all the time even though I have other palettes including Too Faced Palettes.

Shades:

Left:

Gilded Ganache: Satin finish darkened chocolate brown with gold shimmer

White Chocolate: Matte pale beige for highlighting the brow bone

Salted Caramel: Matte medium peachy brown

Marzipan: Warm peach with frosted metallic finish

Semi Sweet: Matte medium brown with red undertones

Hazelnut: Medium golden bronze with metallic finish

Creme Brulee: Darkened molten gold with rich,metallic finish. One of the best in the palette

Haute Chocolate: Dark chocolate brown with red undertones and frost finish

Right:

Milk Chocolate: Matte medium brown, its almost my skin shade. Good for blending.

Black Forest Truffle: Burgundy brown with burgundy and bronzer shimmer

Triple Fudge: Matte deep dark brown

Strawberry Bon Bon: Matte cool toned light pink

Candied Violet: Smoky violet with blue and pink shimmer

Amaretto: Frost warm toned medium brown with red undertones

Cherry Cordial: Matte plumy brown with some flecks of shimmer

Champagne Truffle: Off white with a golden sheen and metallic finish. Perfect for inner corners of eyes.

I think this is one perfect palette for everyone and a must have. All the necessary shades you will ever need. Carry only this for your holiday, weddings,etc and you are sorted. Highly recommended!

Rating: 4.5/5

Sleek MakeUP Eye & Cheek Palette Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Multi-functional palette contains four eyeshadows and two blushers from our bestselling i-Divine and Blush range. Eye & Cheek Palette provides all of your colour essentials in one convenient compact.

These velvety smooth eyeshadows and blushers are highly pigmented and long-lasting, making blending and defining simple.

Each palette contains complementary neutral and bold shades suited to all skin tones.

Packaged in a handy travel sized compact, with magnetic snap-shut mechanism and also includes a large mirror and two essential brushes for effortless application.

Dancing Til Dusk includes velvety browns and shimmering fawns from our Au Naturel i-Divine palette. With radiant Blush shades Mirrored Pink, an iridescent soft pink and Sahara, a matte, dark coral, for a sophisticated finish.

How to: Eyeshadow: Use the mini eyeshadow applicator to sweep the lighter shades all over the eye lid. Blend well, as this acts as a base for deeper shades. Then apply the medium or dark shades across the crease to define eyes

Blush: Using the mini blusher brush included, sweep onto the apples of the cheeks

Comes in 2 variants- Dancing Till Dusk and See You At Midnight

MRP: $14.99

Dancing Till Dusk is the one I am reviewing today. It is more on the warm side while See You At Midnight is more on the cooler side.

Dancing Till Dusk has the blushes Mirrored Pink and Sahara and the eyeshadows from the Au Naturel Palette.

See You at Midnight combines deep blue and pearlescent purple eyeshadows from our Vintage Romance i-Divine Palette. Along with Blush in Pomegranate, a golden berry hue and Antique,a shimmery dusky rose, for a captivating look.

It comes in a small rectangular black packaging and has a mirror and a small double sided applicator and a small brush.

Shades:

Eyeshadows:

Satin finish champagne shade (Beautiful!)

Matte taupe (For the crease)

Matte beige n*de (Almost skin color, perfect for blending and brow bone)

Medium brown with gold shimmer

Blushes:

Mirrored Pink – A soft, romantic satin finish bright pink. Very bridal for fair skin tones.

Sahara: Matte peachy coral. Super pretty on warm skin tones <3

I would recommend See You At Midnight for darker/deeper skin tones coz the shades would show up on them well and Dancing Till Dusk for both but especially for warm skin tones. I am glad I got the Dancing Till Dusk coz I am totally a warm person and love neutrals/warms in eye shadows and peachy, natural blushes. Also, warm shades look beautiful on our Indian skin tones.

Its a perfect daytime palette with a brown, taupe, champagne, a shade for blending and a nice peach blush. Mirrored Pink looks a little bright though but looks nice when blended if you want to turn a day time look to a night time look. Its travel friendly and carry one and you are sorted kind of a palette. Highly recommended!

Illamasqua Vintage Metallix in Bibelot, Courtier Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Vintage Metallix eyeshadow provides a metallic cream-gel texture that provides long wear and comfort. Smudge resistant and long lasting formula. Apply with your fingers or an Illamasqua brush.

A long lasting, metallic cream-gel texture, with a smudge resistant finish.

Key Benefits:
1. Intense metallic finish.
2. Smudge resistant.
3. Maximum long wear.

Application: Apply using fingers or an Illamasqua brush

MRP: £16.50 for 5ml (Approx Rs.1620/-)

Illamasqua Vintage Metallix is a part of their ‘Once’ collection. A set of three cream-gel eye shadows were launched as a part of this range: Bibelot (Vintage Green), Courtier (Vintage N*de) and Embellish (Vintage Brown)

I love cream eye shadows, they are easy to apply and blend and takes just a minute or so for that perfect blended look. I can use it anywhere and everywhere, even when I am travelling and I do not need to carry palettes or brushes. Plus I am mostly always in a rush, so cream shadows come to my handy. I also the Maybelline Color Tattoos for the same reason.

And when I got these, I was pretty excited to try them.

Today I am reviewing the shades Bibelot and Courtier. These come in a simple glass packaging with a golden cap and the Illamasqua symbol embossed on it. The mouth is wide enough to get the product on your fingers.

These are super duper creamy and blend easily, can even be layered quickly. It takes a minute for them to set, and once set, they don’t budge at all! They have stayed put whole day with minimal fading.

Bibelot is a gorgeous forest green with gold shimmer.

Courtier is a frosty n*de pink with silver shimmer.

Unblended

Courtier is a shade one can use in daytime or for everyday formal wear with just a winged liner. Looks super classy, giving just a hint of shimmer.

Bibelot is the perfect fall/winter shade. One can create beautiful 2 minute green smokey eyes with it. Also, its a nice shade for Indian wear.

Overall, I loved them. I would love to try Embellish too, coz I cant have enough of browns 😀 But if I have to recommend one, I would suggest Bibelot. Its a must have <3

Blended

They are definitely slightly on the expensive side, but with MAC Paint pots’ increased pricing at Rs.1500/-, they are almost the same, with Illamasqua offering slightly more qty but texture wise, Illamasqua are much more creamy and easy to use, where as MAC Paint Pots dry up quickly and are not as creamy as these.

Only issue with Illamasqua is availability. You need to buy it online from their site HERE.

Sleek MakeUP Del Mar Volume-I i-Divine Palette Review, Swatches

So after the amazing Sleek MakeUP CC cream, time to review the latest Limited Edition palette added to the i-Divine Range- Del Mar Volume-I

What the Company claims: Create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. i-Divine palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each palette includes a matte dark colour, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.

Get your summer off to a scorching start with our limited edition* Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine palette. Each shade is inspired by the tranquil, calm feel of Ibiza’s chilled out atmosphere, with soft coral oranges of the sunset, deep aqua blues of the sea and sublime greens of the picturesque view.

  • This brilliant eyeshadow palette of vibrant colours suits all skin tones and complements the bright pastel trend prominent this Spring/Summer 2014
  • The exclusive packaging captures the essence of the warm sun and mellow Balearic beats floating into the breeze

MRP: $11.99

How to: Get creative and blend contrasting colours together or mix shimmers with matte shades. Each i-Divine includes a classic matte dark colour, great to perfect that classic smoky effect.

Shades:

1st row:

  • Lounge Lovers– Satin finish n*de gold
  • Poolside– Matte Sea Blue
  • Sunset Strip– Matte wearable warm orange
  • Ambience– Satin finish purple
  • Chilled out blue– Matte white
  • Marlin– Matte Teal Green

2nd row:

  • Opening Party– Satin finish bluish purple
  • On the Rocks– Satin finish coral
  • Talamanca– Matte n*de brown (for blending and transitioning colors)
  • Feel Euphoric– Satin finish peachy pink
  • Baleric Beat– Matte Lime Green
  • Paradise– Matte Lilac

There are more matte shades in this palette..and though they look bright in the pan, they are quite wearable and easy to carry shades. Also, not all mattes are chalky and some are very decently pigmented, but some have to be packed on quiet a few times for the desired intensity.

Its a nice blend of colors, and perfect pool party/beach holiday palette. And appropriate for the Summer launch too. I do like peaches and corals and they look pretty good when combined with the right colors. I would not say this palette is a must have, but if you love summery bright colors, then it can be a good addition to your stash !

To start with, I loved this concept of mix and match and create your own palette..you get to customize your own shades..and create your own duos, trios and quads..you can detach and attach it however, whenever you want, for travel, etc too..And you get different finishes and different types of colors..from neutrals to pastels to brights..

The small black single shadow..has a slider on both sides..where another eyeshadows can be slid and clicked to attach..the packaging is quite cute too..

Clicked together

All shades have different pigmentation and staying power..some are more pigmented while some are drier or sheerer..

130 Seafoam is a pastel bluish mint..its decently pigmented..and stays for 4-5 hours..I am not into pastel eyeshadows much..but if you like pastels, you should check this out..

260 Copper is a sheer true copper..it needs to be builded up..its a kinda of shade you can wear as it is with just a winged liner when you want to emphasize more on lips..like a good warm neutral..and would look great with Indian outfits..it stayed for a good 4-5 hours and without any creasing..without a primer too.

Here is an EOTD with the shade Copper..

Pros:

1. Nice mix and match and customization concept.

2. Cute packaging.

3. Quite economical.

4. 20 shades to choose from.

5. Different finishes from matte to shimmer.

6. Stayed well for 4-5 hours without primer and without any creasing.

Cons:

1. Some shades are drier and sheerer..not all have good pigmentation.

Overall, I would say I quite like them..but check individual shades and their pigmentation before making your customized palette..

I love Onyx, Eggplant, Java and Taupe..eyeing those 😀

Estee Lauder Introduces The Metallics New Pure Color

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
ESTÉE LAUDER INTRODUCES THE METALLICS NEW PURE COLOR
 
A brilliant new expression of color featuring the cool sheen of metal and the liquid light of lacquer
 
“When it comes to color, there are no limits. I like to have freedom. Metallic makeup does that.”
Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder
 
Imagine an incredible combination of the highest reflective shine and intensely desirable color to make eyes, lips and nails smolder – introducing The Metallics, a NEW Pure Color Collection from Estée Lauder. This surprisingly versatile collection of metallic finishes breaks boundaries and transforms like never before, with liquid-like shadows that saturate eyes, vinyl finishes that lacquer lips and hyper-chromatics that accessorize nails. Whether soft and pretty or bold and sexy, The Metallics uses a variety of unique reflective finishes to bring a new level of sophistication to multi-dimensional color.
METALLICALLY MAGNIFIED EYES
 
Play in a new dimension of amplified color with NEW Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trios. Like molten metal, the liquid-like texture melts onto the eyelids for a high-definition chromatic color impact. A creamy, silk-like formula glides on effortlessly releasing pure, brilliant color that stays true for 10 hours without creasing or fading.
 
The dazzling eyeshadows instantly transform from a soft powder to a silky liquid-like texture using slurry technology to give the powder a unique silk-satin feel.True Vision™ Technology – a crystalline (polymer) laminate magnifies and amplifies color for intense clarity and vibrancy, while a unique blend of optics capture light for a reflective flash of shine.
 
Designed to be applied dry for a refined look or wet for a high metallic finish, the NEW Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trios infuse metallic into any look for an added dimension of sophistication. Featuring three brilliant shades, each trio is a total eye look in one: base, contour, and highlight for mistake-proof application.  Extremely blendable and color-true, the expertly coordinated shades look stunning on all skin tones and range from soft chrome shimmers to dramatic metallic finishes.
 
LIQUID MOLTEN LIPS
 
NEW Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer drenches lips in an array of seductively rich lacquered hues, from sultry nudes to daring wines.  Combining the creamy coverage of a lipstick and the high-shine of a gloss, this opulently pigmented lacquer creates a lusciously brilliant and glass-like finish. Estée Lauder’s True Vision™ Technology provides the ultimate color payoff, while multi-functional polymers seal in moisture and form a color stay barrier to keep brilliant color and impeccable shine looking fresh, supple and vibrant for a long-lasting 6 hour wear. A new moisture-infused formula also replenishes lips for a rich, cushioned feel that radiates from within.  For application, an exclusive paddle, with a bell curve design, dips in the center creating a reservoir effect to release the perfect amount of lacquer that glides onto lips with precision.
 
A hybrid of vividly rich color and brilliant metallic shine meet in six NEW Limited Edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipsticks. Exclusive True Vision™ Technology provides rich color that wraps lips in lustrous shine, while a tri-complex of refined metalized gold and silver pearls envelop lips to create an amplified chromatic finish. This high-impact fusion of pigments and pearls create brilliant shades that work across all different skin tones, while the moisture-rich formula keeps lips feeling soft and conditioned all day.  
 
CHROMATICALLY HUED NAILS
The evolution of heavy metal reaches nails in a unique brushed, reflective finish with the NEW Limited Edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Nail Lacquer.  Born out of a fusion of refined pearls and aluminum platelets, this new high-impact finish saturates nails in a flash richly pigmented chromatic color.  The multi-faceted spectrum of color-enriched metalized shades range from dusty rose gold to smokey deep platinum, creating a new dimension of confident style and expressive attitude.

So at first I thought I have an olive shade which is marked as blue..these both read pink and blue..(Remember the goof up in Eyeconic..I got two greens instead of one grey..read HERE )

Now I got confused between the blue and green..there was no swatch for the blue one anywhere online..and this swatches a deep green..


Basically the three blue/greens in this range are one is a turquoise blue, one olive green and one this Blue which is a deep sea green..

These are eyeshadows in chubby plastic crayon form with transparent lids and matching ends to the shades..and needs to be sharpened.


Pink is a beautiful champagne pink..makes a nice easy to wear color..a great highlight, perfect for inner corners and also highlighting your cheeks.. (or as shown to us in the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass, after the normal base shadow is done, this pink shade was warmed in between fingers and applied at the centre..i.e where the eyeballs are..and it gave a beautiful nice shimmery sheen) Very multi purpose !

Blue is actually a deep sea green..its quite rich and dark..and would make for perfect night time smokey eyes.


They have all the features they mentioned ! Glides effortlessly, super soft, amazing pigmentation, stays put throughout the day but needs to be blended super fast coz it sets immediately.


Here I have used Pink with subtle eyeliner..would look great with bold red lips..or any bright lip..when you do not want the eyes to be heavy..but still some sheen and shine 🙂

Pros:

1. Super soft.
2. Glides smoothly.
3. Doubles up as an eyeliner.. (though a thicker one..you can make for subtle smokey eyes by just blending the thick liner)
4. Stays put through the day.
5. Amazingly pigmented.
6. Comes in 8 shades to choose from.. Bronze and Purple are amazing too..apart from these two..and White which is a nice golden white.
7. Pink and White are multi purpose.

Cons:

1. I am not sure why this is named ‘Blue’ :/
2. These are priced a little higher. (Rimmel Scandaleyes are priced at Rs.415/- for 3.2g qty..though a few shades in Lakme are more pigmented than Rimmel)

Overall I would say, these are quite amazing…and I loved the shades they have come up with..there are subtle Pink and White..and bright Purple and Blue, and Indian wedding wear Bronze and Olive..there is one for everyone..and for all occasions..Highly recommend them..

There are only these 5 I can see available in India 🙁 


They come in a normal quad packaging with a transparent see through lid..that helps identify one from other..and has a dual sided sponge tip applicator. The backside has instructions on how to use and which shade goes where.

There are mostly lilacs and purples in this quad.. 530 Seductive has one off white highlighter, a satin finish light lilac pink, a matte lilac blue and a satin finish deep purple. The deep purple is my favorite.

These are just one swipe each..so as you can see they are good at pigmentation and are super soft..they just kinda melt on touch..but one also has to be very careful..as they would break into pieces if fallen even once.

They stay on for a good 6-7 hours without a primer and more so with a primer. I liked the pigmentation, staying power and the shades..and very less options available in India in eyeshadows, so this is definitely a good bet.

Pros:

1. Nicely pigmented.
2. Soft and smooth in texture.
3. Stays well for a good amount of time.
4. Color combinations are pretty good.
5. Do not crease or fade easily.

Cons:

1. Only 5 quads available in India.
2. Little expensive.

Overall, I would say these are good to have. And some combos are pretty good. I really like Decadent too. Recommended !
