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..

Ok..I just came back watching Talaash..and the shades names are so diverting my mind to the movie again 😀
Rouge Bunny Rouge have both Sheer and Color Burst Formula..color burst are more creamier and pigmented..they come in an elegant black packaging with white flower design on it..

Rouge Bunny Rouge Color Burst Lipsticks are probably the most comfortable lipsticks I’ve ever tried. They feel moisturizing on the lips but are glossy and at the same time the lasting power is very good and the color fades evenly to a nice sheer stain.

Word of Mouth is described as ‘Creamy, shiny finish cool cherry syrup – The little black dress of lipsticks, very pretty and feminine’. And it is indeed so..its a gorgeous watermelon rose shade..this shade would suit all skin tones and brighten up the complexion instantly..the shade is quite different..

Pros:

1. Very hydrating.
2. Gives a glossy sheen.
3. Super pigmented.
4. Stays for 4-5 hours and leaves behind a nice stain.
5. Elegant pretty packaging.
6. Shade would suit all skin tones..it is neither too bright nor pale..a pretty watermelon shade..meant for both warm and cool skin tones.

Cons:

1. Expensive !
2. Available only on RBR boutique or Zuneta.

Overall the formula is amazing..the shade is amazing..Word of Mouth is a gorgeous shade..and I surely recommend it !

Ellis Faas Creamy Eyes 103 Review, Swatches

Ellis Faas Creamy Eyes 103 Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Creamy Eyes

Opaque, semi matte eyeshadow with a velvety texture, providing coverage without heaviness. With its quick-drying properties and special blend of flower and coffee extracts, Creamy Eyes provides coverage without heaviness.

 Turn to Creamy Eyes for shaping and contour.

Creamy Eyes E103 – Deep Black

WHAT – The lifting, firming and protecting Creamy Eyes formula glides on like. Even a thin layer of this formula is extremely long-wearing and will stay fixed until taken off with a cleanser.

WHY – Creamy Eyes is ideal for a quick smoky eye, providing sufficient playtime before drying. Creamy Eyes can also be used like a thick pencil.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS – Para Cress flower extract stimulates natural skin-lifting capabilities. Coffee extract works to increase collagen and elastin production while also increasing natural skin defenses. Extreme wear is delivered through the synthetic filming polymers in volatile oils. The spongy soft mousse-like consistency of the texture is achieved through the innovative siliconic wax and siliconic gel in combination with beeswax.

HOW – Use it like a thick pencil around the eye or in the eyelid crease, or cover the entire eyelid using the built-in ELLIS FAAS Creamy Eyes brush, then fade the edges with the fingertips. For extra drama, experiment with layering multiple colours of Creamy Eyes. Watch the instruction videos!

A “Human Colour” and therefore suitable for each skin tone, age or style.

No scent. No taste. No creasing. No parabens. No animal testing.

Ingredients: Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Mica, C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone,Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Silica Dimethyl Silyate, Stearyl Dimethicone, Polysilicone-11, Cera Alba, Dicalcium Phosphate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Propylene Carbonate.

MRP: Rs. 1950/-

Comes in 14 shades..from browns to greys to golds, bronze, taupes, green, blue..there is something for everyone..

Ellis Faas products come in silver pen packaging with an inbuilt brush for eyes and both brush and sponge for lips..for all pens you get out the product by turning the base of the pen clockwise. I loved the packaging..its quite unique..though at times you get more product out..so it does lead to wastage too..

The first time it does take time..and it needs about 25-30 clicks for the product to come out..and once you see it coming, just one click..better be slow or else too much product would ooze out..

E103 Deep Black is the most darkest, richest, pigmented black I have ever seen !! And boy, does it set once dry..it does’nt budge at all..this would give you the most easiest, quickest, fool proof smokey eyes possible ! The harsh edges can be blended going towards the crease with the fingers for a softer look..or a prominent cat eye shape..it can also be used as a liner..but I would suggest dipping your liner/angular brush into the product and lining..if you are not a fan of thick lines..the same way you can use your eyeshadow brush and build up your smokey eyes slowly..if you want more softer effect..

This does stay put whole day with very minimal fading..but no creasing at all..

Here I have used it all over with some blending towards crease and on the outer half of lower lash line and highlighted the brow bone and inner corners with NYX Jumbo Pencil in Yogurt..your go to 2 minute Smokey Eyes !

Pros:

1. Quite unique and nice packaging.
2. Rich Darkest Black ever seen.
3. Settles to a matte finish and does not budge at all.
4. Very minimal fading at the end of whole day but no creasing.
5. Comes off easily.
6. Can be used as a liner too.
7. Perfect for quick smokey eyes.
8. Works great as a base for all your deep smokey eyes.
9. No animal testing and no parabens.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Available online..you can order it HERE
3. Sometimes excess product comes out and goes waste.

Overall I really love this..and I wish it would have been a little cheaper..I would have loved to own all the shades ! I surely recommend it..particularly this black if you love smokey eyes…coz it can be used in any way..as a liner, as a base, on its own for black smokey eyes..would also recommend E104 Grey Brown, E105 Deep Warm Taupe, E114 Bordeaux Red

This is quite easy to use..I have tried both the puff and brush..the puff is wider to highlight small areas like cheekbones..would work for the collar bones and decolletage..this is a little too shimmery as a highlighter for my taste..as I prefer subtle highlighters..but if you are a shimmer fan, you would love it..

When used all over the face lightly with a kabuki brush, it gives a nice pearlescent glow..which looks nice for night time parties, etc..

T-B: Pink, Golden, Silver, Combined

Pros:

1. Cute packaging.
2. Easy to use.
3. Stays well.
4. Has gold, silver, pink..so can be used individually or all together..
5. Would work great for collar bones and decolletage.

7. Gives a pearlescent glow when used all over..

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. Has parabens.
3. I am not a fan of too much shimmer for face

Overall if you love shimmery highlighters, you would love this..if you love cute packaging, then you would love this..but if you a fan of subtle highlighters, then you may give it a skip..

Shades available:

Black Dazzle
Gold Dazzle
Silver Dazzle
Teal Dazzle
Purple Dazzle
Grey Dazzle

MRP: Rs. 480/- for 0.28g

Its a twist up mechanical pencil..which only twists up but not down again..so one has to be very careful to not twist it up much..or else you would not be able to close the cap or squash it ruining the whole thing.

It comes in 6 colors and all have their own colored outer packaging with flowers designed on it.

If I had to review it in short…super pigmented, glides like butter, stays put the whole day, smudge free !!

Teal Dazzle is a gorgeous jewel toned teal/green..a little richer/deeper than Colorbar I Glide Jaded

Pros:

1. Super duper pigmented.
2. A gorgeous deep jewel toned green.
3. It does not smudge and stays put on my lower lash line the whole day.
4. I use it on my waterline too..and it does not sting or irritate.
5. Super soft and glides like butter..just one stroke is enough.
6. Shelf life of 3 years.

Cons:

1. As its a twist up liner, it would not go back and one has to be careful in using it…and you would never know the exact quantity.
2. It sets super fast..so neither can you use it for smokey eyes and nor is it easy correcting mistakes with this once it sets..
3. A little expensive for 0.28g

Overall I do like it coz it stays put..the only problem is it comes up thick coz of the rounded tip..but for lower lash line..I am loving it.

It has this simple and cute matte black packaging with silver ring. It is sturdy enough. It is moisturising and has a glossy creamy texture.

Baby Peach is a light peachy pink shade..it is not a true peach but has some pinkiness to it..so it would not wash out darker skin tones..

T- Revlon Peach B- Lioele Baby Peach

1. Pigmented…you need just a swipe and 2 for full coverage.
2. Moisturising..one can skip a lip balm.
3. Creamy glossy finish.
4. Baby Peach shade has a hint of pinkiness and would not wash out darker skin tones..can be a MLBB shade for many.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Long Lasting Cream Eyeshadow Review, Swatches

Rouge Bunny Rouge Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadow SILK AETHER Atlas Swallowtail Review, Swatches

Our utmost Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows caress your skin with the ease of a butterfly wing beat, so that your lids appear smooth and renewed while coated with a semi-matt, slightly luminous colour.

It’s an irresistible combination of exceptionally long-wear, non-crease and smudge proof textures. The extreme long-lasting effect is delivered through the synthetic filming polymers which ensure a perfect appearance all day.

Our comfortable wand includes a light, velvet, creamy formula for silky gliding. Easy application is achieved by innovative silicon waxes and gels, in combination with Beeswax.

We added Para Cress Flower Extract to stimulate natural skin lifting capabilities and Coffee Extract to increase collagen and elastin production while also enhancing the natural skin defences.

All colours can be worn in two ways: a satin wash of colour with one layer, or a stronger application providing opaque, metallic and darker hues of the same colour.

Directions: You can line, shade and contour your eyes very sheer or in a more dramatic way with our Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows, and you can blend them into each other too.

Prime your eyes before you apply eye shadows with our Luminous Skin Wand, Aqua Primer or Mattifying Primer to give the skin an even tone and to help the eye shadows to stay even longer.

You can blend the colour of our Long-lasting Cream Eye Shadows either with the included applicator or with our Mini Shader 005 from your lash line up to the brow bone.

To open up your eyes use a light colour under your brows and to deepen your gaze place a darker one in the crease and blend well.

One swipe gives a sheer wash of color for daytime looks or it can be builded for night time or heavy looks..

Stays put the whole day..no creasing no fading..

Atlas Swallowtail is described as a satin wash of nude taupe with pewter reflections buildable to darker, more opaque and metallic greyish hue of the same colour…on me with 2-3 coats its almost my skin color..its like my eyes but better..with just some slight shimmer which is hardly visible..but gives a polished look to the eyes..its perfect for those ‘no makeup’ makeup looks..I am yet to try building it super intense with more layers.

1. Buttery velvety texture.
2. Pigmented.

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Pomegranate Punk Review, Swatches

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 30 Pomegranate Punk Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about their launch first HERE

Why You’ll Love It
24hr intensity. Tattoo tenacity. Dare to wear our longest-lasting shadow.
Our ink technology creates super-saturated color.
Cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade.
In 8 shades.

Expert Tip

For a High impact look – Illuminate. With fingertips, sweep all over eye from inner corner and work outwards. For added drama, darken as desired.

MRP: Rs. 350/- for 4g

It is also a part of the Vivid Electra 2012 Collection..along with Emerald, Purple and few other shades..

It comes in a glass jar with black plastic caps..similar to MAC Paint Pots or MUFE Aqua Creams..the texture is quite creamy and smooth..and it is pigmented enough too..which can also be buildable..

On me it stayed a good 7-8 hours with very little fading even without a primer or base. It could have stayed longer but I have not worn it longer than that..These are compared to MAC Paint Pots and said to be quite a good dupe at this price..and I totally agree !

I am always late and running and such 2 minute cream shadows which are super easy to work with and stay all day long are a boon for a person like me 😀

Pomegranate Punk is a deep burgundy metallic plum with some golden shimmer..its a perfect shade for Indian wear ! It would go with almost all of your saris and dresses girls ! And its a great dupe for MUFE Aqua Cream #17

Here I have only used Maybelline Colossal Kajal on the lash line and outer corners and smudged with my finger. I love how it is so easy peasy to use !

Pros:

1. Quite pigmented.
2. Super easy to work with.
3. Stays for almost the whole day with very little fading.
4. 4g is a good qty at 350…its going to last a long time.
5. Best worked with fingers..so even if you do not have brushes, you can use it..and they also came with brushes in the first month…there might be some SA’s who would give you the brush alongwith.
6. Pomegranate Punk is a gorgeous shade which would suit our warm Indian skin tones and work with all Indian wear too.

Cons:

1. If powder eye shadows are used on top, they can only be layered..it is not possible to blend the powder with cream..gets a little messy.
2. Some shades like Bold Gold have too much shimmer..I would have preferred less..and I would love it if more neutral wearable matte shades are added..like all shades of browns, taupes, grays, etc.

Overall I have no complains as such..coz I love it too much ! Such easy to work cream shadows are God sent for me :p

I would recommend Pomegranate Punk and Bad to the Bronze to each and everyone !
