ColourPop Shadows in "So Quiche" and "Fantasy"

Ok, so I have shared with you, or should I say raved to you about ColourPop's Lippie Stix, now I want to show you their eye shadows, well, two of them. I can't believe I was able to refrain myself and just purchase two, but it was more to try and see what the hype was about.

 These aren't your regular pressed pigment. The texture is so creamy, I guess the closest eye shadow that I can compare these to, would be L'Oreal Infallibles, yet these are more mousse like (???)

"So Quiche" and "Fantasy"


Although I was excited to try the ColourPop eyeshadows, it almost felt daunting using a formulation that I was not familiar with. I'd read that application is best with a finger, but decided to try a brush instead. My eye shadow brush of choice was a flat shadow brush, synthetic of course. To my surprise and relief it worked fine. 

I did need to pack the product on my lids, especially "So Quiche" which I applied to most of the area, then "Fantasy" on the outer v. 

"So Quiche" is a rather hyped up eye shadow on social media, and let me say that it did not disappoint. It is hard to capture just how pretty this shade is. Neutral, yet has sparkle adding glamour to this shadow. 

"Fantasy" is such a fun purple shade. Not for the faint of heart, but ya'll know I love me some bright colour!

The wear time of ColourPop eye shadows (well these 2) is fantastic. Lasted for hours, without disappearing on my lids or smudging. No dreaded creasing, either. 

I'm in love, I want more!

    The Fantasy looks so purple in the pot, but it looks so pink in the swatch & on your eyes. Both are beautiful colours. I always like to know how everything lasts, regarding creasing &c. Great review!

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...
