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!

It comes in a standard black Sleek MakeUP palette packaging with a mirror and a dual sided sponge applicator.

First Row:

Strawberry Sherbet – Matte bright Barbie Pink
Bon Bon – Metallic Lilac Pink..I love the slight duochrome effect
Parma Violet – Matte Deep Violet
Apple Sour – Frost Neon Blue
Pear Drop – Frost Acid Green
Flump – Matte Bluish Purple

Bubblegum – Matte bright sea blue
Mint Cream – Matte mint green
Cream Soda – Metallic off white..nice highlighter for inner corners.

I love the concept of Frontcover kits..they have some pretty handy and amazingly combined kits..like Desk to Date, Party Queen, Kissogram, Moondance, etc..and they include everything from eyeshadows to lip gloss to applicators and brushes..

The True Colours Kit is a part of their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection..and I loved this kit the most out of all..and since these were at discounts when I bought it, a pretty good deal too..and they have reasonable shipping also..around £4..only hitch is I had to pay customs :/ God..this customs..I hate it 🙁

I am using this from the last 3-4 months..I know its very late..but then there are many things I have been using from more than a year and yet to review :p

Its shaped like a book..and made up of thick cardboard..and has plastic cover with the shadows shape so that it fits exactly and nothing gets spoilt..only issue is shadows and lip glosses can be mixed :/

Starting with the eyeshadows, the kit has 11 eye shadows..6 satiny baked and 5 matte normal..all are super pigmented..and smooth to touch and apply..even the matte ones..are pretty silky and pigmented..and all shadows are my type..taupes, greys, olive green, brown, peach, orange..I love all the shades in this kit..

These are all just one swipe of shadows in the swatches !

Then there are 5 lip glosses..which are more like lip creams..super creamy and pigmented and thick enough..two layers of it would give perfect opaque lipstick like coverage..only issue is except the last two shades..rest are too pale for our skin tone..

The two eyeshadow brushes are pretty good..the fluffy brush is like so multi tasking…works both for applying shadows and blending too..and a retractable lip brush too..the double ended mascara for upper and lower lashes..pretty decent..

Two nail polishes..one pale milky nude and one holographic blue..and a eye pencil..deep bluish steel grey with silver shimmer..has a smudger on one side..gives that soft smokey grey eye look 😀

All in all..this is a perfect travel palette..you may need a lipstick separately..but rest everything is in this kit..even the orange eyeshadow makes a pretty blush..if you dont want to carry one separately..

If you travel a lot..I did surely and highly recommend this palette..and even if you don’t, I will recommend it 😀 Coz this is total value for money..and excellent in terms of quality..you can check out other kits too..they have many different kits and variants..

I will do some EOTDs and looks with this kit..hopefully soon..

MUA Artiste Collection Palette Review, Swatches

MUA (Makeup Academy) Artiste Collection Palette Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: This is a beautiful artiste collection palette on the go which helps create a full face all in one, with 6 brand NEW merged eye shadows, two powder blushers and a contour shade and highlighter.

Shades include shimmery merged tones for fashion-forward statement smoky eyes with light and earthy naturals for an everyday look which can easily be transformed into an evening smoky eye look. The two blushes include warm pink shades for a soft shimmer finish. Finally the contour and highlighter helps create a flawless sculpted natural glow.

These rich, high-pigmented colours help achieve a stunning look this summer.

MRP: £6.00

Remember my old MUA haul..I had got the Artiste Collection Palette then..and loved how multi purpose and perfect for travel it was..

It has 6 shadows, 2 blushes and a matte dark brown for contouring and highlighting..comes with a two sided sponge tip applicator..which is not of much use..

Pistachio- Pale frosty mint green..
Mocca- Frosty Beige..a good highlighter
Ice- Icy Blue shade

Grape- Bluish Purple..a true Grape
Chocolate- Bronze Brown
Cookie- Matte Brick Brown

All shades are satin finish and quite pigmented..except the last i.e Cookie..

I created a look with Chocolate all over, blended with Cookie in the crease and Mocca as highlighter and in the inner corners..I think I am going to use Chocolate and Mocca the most.. 😀

Pink Sparkle is a warm pink and Primrose is a peachy pink..I found Pink Sparkle a little powdery..Primrose is better..the best thing in the whole palette is Bronzed and Shimmer Kiss ! The perfect shade for contouring and highlighting..bronzed is matte and quite pigmented and can be builded slowly..and would work well for our skin tones as its a nice soft brown..and not dark..and Shimmer Kiss is a pretty soft silver shade with not much of sparkles or glitter..but a subtle candlelit glow..

Here the bronzer is swatched lightly..it is more pigmented..

I love everything about this palette..this can be your perfect travel companion, super affordable, decently pigmented shades..only issue is availability..You can buy it online HERE or at Superdrug stores in UK.

Now why I am doing this review right now..coz MUA has an offer running currently..that you spend £6.00 or more on their site and get this palette FREE ! Yes ! Is’nt this an amazing deal..spend the same amount as the value of this palette and get it free..

It has a small dual sided brush..one side is a angled liner for the cream liners and the other side is a small fluffy crease brush..well its actually very tiny..but the angled liner brush is quite nice ! And also a stretched mirror below the brush.

    The shadows are decently pigmented..some are more..and some are a little less..but none are powdery or chalky..all have a metallic finish and are shimmery..but not glittery…if you are a fan of mattes..this is not for you..the staying power is a good 6-7 hours even without a base.

    Bottom Row has a shimmery white, rust orange and bluish grey.

    Cream liners..black (veering towards grey) and chocolate brown

    Pros:
    1. Its a warm palette with well selected shades.
    2. A perfect travel palette.
    3. All the eye shadows are decently pigmented.
    4. Gel liners are equally nice.

    Beauty Angel Palette in Gold Review,Swatches

    Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
    This is a very nice,handy,perfect for travel beauty book..has a magnetic lock all around it..so remains closed too..12 eye shadows,2 blushes and a small mirror with a small dual sided brush..which has a sponge applicator on one side and a small brush on the other..though you cannot use that much obviously.

    The colors are very pretty…soft to touch and easy to use..but all are shimmery…so these are not the type you can blend with but you need to apply them like you do with pigments..the tapping method.

    These are available in blue,green and purple too.

    About the product:

    Brand New With Original Retail Packing Box

    100% Authentic

    Includes 12 Color And 2 Blush

    Dimensions(Open): 12cm X 17cm X 1cm

    EyeShadow Net: 1.2g X 12

    Blush Net: 5g X 2

    MRP: 14.50 $

    Here are some swatches..mostly all shades are frosty

    Left 6 shades…anti clockwise
    1st is a  light shimmery green
    2nd is a frosty lilac
    3rd is a shimmery peach
    4th is a shimmery off white silver with a khaki green touch
    5th is a pretty soft pink shade
    6th is a midnight blue

    R-L:1 to 6

    Right 6 shades..anti clockwise
    1st is a shimmery silver
    2nd is an icy blue with shimmery silver
    3rd is a bronzy plum brown..my most favorite of the lot..
    4th is a cool sea blue
    5th is a shimmery light purple
    6th and last shade is peachy copper brown..my 2nd favorite

    R-L-1 to 6

    The blushes are a true peach shade and a fuchsia pink shade with very very fine shimmer which is hardly visible..the peach shade is not so pigmented but it acts more as a beauty powder than a blush…gives that instant warm glow to the face..whereas the fuchsia pink is very pigmented..you need to use it sparingly and carefully.

    Pros:

    1. Super handy and perfect for travel.
    2. Easy to use shadows and blush…quite smooth.
    3. Economically priced.
    4. Pretty combination of highlighters and colors.
    5. I liked both the blushes..a true peach and a fuchsia.
    6. Staying power is normal..4-5 hours…was not expecting much.

    Cons:

    1. Since they are shimmery..cannot be used everywhere.
    2. Little fall out is there with a few eye shadows.
    3. The brush provided is not of much use.
    4. Available online only. Check them out here
    5. Peach blush is not so pigmented.

    Overall quite nice..I like the fact that its small,compact and handy and includes everything..loved the combination of colors too..
