EOTD- Using the Star Treatment Palette

I've been wanting to get my hands on Bare Minerals Star Treatment Palette for some time. What really caught my eye was the second shade Connoisseur. A gorgeous bronzey tan colour, which I had nothing like in my make up collection. 
 It comes in this sleek silver packaging, simple, yet classy. I do like the look, but keeping it smudge free is near impossible, because I can't keep my grubby little hands off of it, lol. To be honest, it is a lot smaller than I imagined, but on the other hand, it is compact enough to travel with.
Don't let this pic deceive you, they are not ordinary neutrals.

I just love how rich the pigment is. The black is not at all chalky and does not lack pigment, as is common with a lot of black shadows. They are soft and creamy, yet product is transferred well without crumbling or fall out.





I just had to get the eye shadow Connoisseur onto my lids..and WOW it did not disappoint! I put the fourth shade Ritzy in my crease and then to darken the crease, I used the black shade, VIP. These eye shadows offer blend-ability as well as build-ability. The colour remained as vibrant for at least 12 hours, there was no creasing and no fading. I applied the lid colour over Silk Natural primer.

 I can see this palette getting a lot of love!! :)

    This is so pretty, Michelle! I kind of regret not buying it when I saw it on sale in Malaysia, but I convinced myself I didn't need more earthy tones. :P

    Can't wait to see more from you/this palette hun!

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
