I know this is getting too much with everything on L.A. Colors this from last week and this week. It's actually one of the terms of condition of the contest from Vonnie. Whoever wins the 10 piece makeups will have to review it. Alright, the eyeshadow is very much explanatory from it's name, where you have to flip the lip to open it.


What sadden me is that when I open it I have to tear part of the info piece just to open it. It was a little messy this way. The info piece has ingredients listing, net weight and etc.


It was really pigmented and at first I thought it would be a total matte eyeshadow but it wasn't.  The eyeshadow has fine glitters in it. I wonder what's the hype of glitters in L.A. Color's eyeshadows. I mean most of their eyeshadow is with glitters? Anyways, I didn't really have much problem with this eyeshadow. Lastly, it doesn't irritate, non-scented, easy to blend and easy pick up with makeup brush.

PROs:
Pigmented
Doesn't irritate
Non-scented
Easy to blend
Easy to pick up with makeup brush

CONs:
Information sticker was at the opening
Has glitters

My rating: 4/5

Stay Beautiful Always,

Yesterday I have managed to stop by Daiso for just 10 minutes before closing and took all this.

From left to right:

1. High Curling Mascara in Black - raved by the local beauty bloggers
2. Color Series Eyebrow and Eyeliner Pencil in Black
3. Dial Concealer (shades can be identified through it's color strip, mine is green) - I was totally impressed
4. Princess Lip Gloss - Love it so much!

I still can't get enough of Daiso yet! Can't wait for the next trip there. Everything shown was just RM5.


Oh, I've spotted something new from Nivea in last two day's newspapers. It's the collaboration between Nivea and the French lingerie designer, Chantal Thomass for a boudoir-theme line with eight lipsticks, six eyeshadows and two blushes.  The line will be available for a year from July in 16 European countries. I hope that it's not too expensive. I have not see them existed on the cosmetic shelfs here yet. Have you spotted them?

Stay Beautiful Always,

  
I think is probably the best eyeshadow palette from L.A. Colors. Well with all the ones that I have is this is the best. First of all, it has ingredients listing at the back of palette. Some people might give a thought why ingredient listing is so important when reviewing a product. It is totally important especially for people who comes with sensitive skin types. They will be able to identify what ingredients that they are allergic to or some people who already know what they are allergic with. For me, I'm really lucky that I have any allergy towards make-ups yet except that the fact I have to be picky on foundations to see whether they are non-comedogenic. Anyways, let's get back to the product review.

I love that they are so pigmented! Even with the flash on, you can tell how pigmented are they. It is a little shimmery and has a very very mild baby powder smell. Easy to blend and it can be multipurpose (eg. eyeshadow/highlighter/blusher). It flakes a little when picking up using make-up brush. It comes with low quality double ended sponge applicator. It's going to be my disposables.


The only flaw that I found is one of the pan was chipped and my palette was a little difficult to open. The fact that I saw the pan was chipped made me wonder if the QC department actually does their job. But luckily the defect of the pan doesn't affect the eyeshadow. It did not crack or anything else. It's still in good shape.

PROs:
Very pigmented and shimmer
Easy to blend
Multipurpose (eg. eyeshadow/highlighter/blusher)
Ingredients listing provided

CONs:
Flakes a little
Very very mild baby powder smell
Low quality sponge applicator
Pan chipped and difficult to open

My rating: 4.5/5

Stay Beautiful Always,

 
This palette comes with 12 colors. There's not much details from the palette. No net weight or any ingredients listing. I'm not too sure about the pricing because I have it for free from Vonnie's Contest. For me, I think eyeshadow palettes are great because they are like a package with everything.


The color is very sheer and matte, not as pigmented as I thought it was. Using wet make-up method or eye primer, would help to enhance the color. When I open the palette, it has a strong smell of baby powder. It doesn't bother me but for those who does, this is a no-no for you.


I'm not sure if I'm sensitive or something else, I think at the joint of the palette lid is chipped? I just realize it not long ago but it doesn't really bother me because it doesn't damage the inside of the palette.


This is like a dejavu of L.A. Colors Glitter Starlet Eyeshadow Palette. It has the same identical color. Both light greens. Weird~ The reason I chose this palette is because I wanted colorful shades. The sponge applicator are the low quality ones. I chuck it aside.

PROs:
A palette with many colors
Matte colors

CONs:
Sheer colors
Same identical color
Palette lid chipped
Low quality sponge

My rating: 2.5/5
