Makeup Revolution Awesome Metals Eye Foils in "Emerald Goddess"

Deciding what to order from UK based Makeup Revolution wasn't easy. There were so many of their products that I wanted to try, but there was some culling that needed doing from my wishlist, as there usually is with every order I place, lol. What did make the cut was one of the Awesome Metals Eye Foils. I really wanted "Rose Gold", unfortunately that shade wasn't available at the time, so I opted for "Emerald Goddess" instead.

The kit includes a liquid primer, mixing tray and intense pigments.
The mixed primer and pigment create this lovely green metallic shade.



Once mixed, I was able to apply with my regular eye shadow brush. Being a cream, it did take a little bit longer to smooth on the lids to reach an even, opaque finish. 

I was very impressed with the minimal amount of creasing that I got at the end of the day, it was really barely noticeable, but I thought it was worth noting. There was no transfer to my hoods which is huge because many cream products end up leaving traces above my lids. 

 As much as it was a novelty to mix the pigment and primer to create the eye shadow, I can't imagine it being something that I'd reach for very much. Especially when I have other shadows that give a metallic finish without the need to take the time to prepare. 

 If you are considering buying the pricier Stila Magnificent Metals, I would definitely save some cash and purchase Makeup Revolutions offering instead. A quick search in google images led me to believe that "Emerald Goddess" is a pretty good dupe of Stila's "Metallic Emerald".

 Are you a fan of metallic eye shadows?

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...
