Holla girls~
What happening? I hope you all had a good weekend. I was busy auditioning models for a fashion show my school's old student's association is organising! There were more than 25 girls and trust me only two of them were wearing makeup and that too very little. I was slightly surprised. I'm not saying everyone should wear makeup or something but when youre associated with a field wherein your physical appearance matters more than anything else, you should make sure you live upto a certain level. I was honestly judging only on two parameters~ One their makeup & outfits (physical appearance), two their confidence (most of them were high on that).
Sooooo, today I'm reviewing an eyeshadow palette that I bought a month or two ago~
I dont know its brand because it came in a plain baby pink box. Nothing too fancy! If its pink it has to be mine. I just love PINK!
It comes in a handy magazine form with a tuck-on button thing.
This is how it looks on the front. A glossy baby pink colored fake leather packaging~
Un button it and this is how it looks from inside. Forty colors on each side so that makes it a 80 eyeshadow palette!
On the right side it has 40 powder eyshadows..
Below are swatches of some of my favourite colors.
Since there are a lot of colors, I couldn't swatch all of them so i picked the ones I really like and have used a couple of times!
Creme based eyeshadows:
Powder eyeshadows : (without base/primer)
Something about the colors:
My purpose of buying this was to try out some low on shimmer colors. I love buying buying big palettes because storage is an issue for me. Single eyeshadows or small (5/10/20) is absolutely not my thing. These palettes are good on pocket and work great for me.
Lets talk about the creme eyeshadows first:
As the name says, they're very CREAMY. The texture is smooth, most of the colors are vivid, staying power is awesome, doesn't crease (not even a bit), can be worn alone for the longest time.
This was the first time I tried creme based eyeshadows and I was really impressed. The quality is great. Comes at a very cheap price.
Powder eyeshadows:
The eyeshadow colors are versatile. From neutrals to poppy orange & pinks! Yes I love the variety in this palette! It has beautiful earthy browns (great for everyday looks) , lilac, lavender, PINKS (No matter how many pink eyeshadows I have, Im always looking for new pink eyshadows), goldens, bronze and what not. For me its my GO-TO palette. Its great for travelling as well because you never plan a look (for me it's always very spontaneous and I love to mix & match) and it has possibly every color that you might need.
Now lets talk about the Negatives (Im a firm believer in the fact that everyone and everything has positive and negative points. No one is perfect. We get better with time but not perfect)
*All the eyeshadows have a very wierd smell, which I DO NOT LIKE. (I have to smell anything and everything)
*Availability- Its a no-brand palette, so you might not be able to find it easily.
Thats all~
Overall I really like it and might buy it again (If I ever find it somewhere)
Price : Rs 750 or 17 USD (Approx.)
I would rate it a 3.5/5
Which is your fave palette? Do you love any no brand palette's? Let me know in the comments section :)
Much Love.
