A Pint of BlushingBerry

Hi Dearest Readers :D,

Now I am going to do some work with my favorite Sleek Storm Palette. I get this product from FD seller, and surprisingly happy with the purchase. It is a 12 x 0.03 oz eyeshadow palette with 12 natural beautiful metallic colors. Well, not all are metallic; three of them come with matte finish.

Please forgive the awful quality of the picture :(
Let me explain per shade (from upper left to right) I use my own naming:
- Golden beige: a very charming metallic beige color with strong gold note**
- Frosting cream: cream / broken white metallic color
- Creamy beige: matte color with moccha-cream shade
- Pure gold: metallic gold shade
- Frosty pink: charming metallic baby pink shade**
- Shimmery Plum: Plum color with strong shimmer
- Copper brown: Deep metallic brown with slightly copper note**
- Cool gray: very cool metallic gray **
- Frosty deep green: metallic deep green color
- Shimmery deep blue: deep blue with strong shimmer
- Deep brown: matte brown color, good for lining
- Black: matte black color, good for lining.

Shade with ** mark are my favorite. I am nearly forgot about other palette since I have this on in trancase. Even I brought it along everyday :D

Pros:
* Texture: semi-creamy texture when you apply them on your lid; not easily fell off.
* Pigmentation and staying strength: highly pigmented; when worn upon primer they stay for very long time. Maybe about 12-14 hours.
* Smudgeproof, waterproof: they stay there even after washing your face with water (I never tried with soap)
* Has beautiful neutral shades for daily wear

Cons:
* Sometimes can be too metallic if you don't use along with matte shades
* Hard to get. Not available in local market

Rating: 4.5/5

Repurchase? Emmm... this one will last for so long so I think I will try Sleek Palette in different color.

Now at least the EOTD:


Bottomline: REALLY worth the price. I get it for IDR 155.000 including shipping

Hi All^^

Now I am trying to post my first FOTD in this blog^^
I was bored at Thursday noon, so I tried to amuse myself creating some swatches. This is one of them: swatch of Revlon quad eyeshadow. Known as Revlon Wet/Dry Shadow in Bronzed & Brassy. I bought it at Watsons Lippo Karawaci; not really pricy, just IDR 75k.



I love its colors in pan. Kinda warm and neutral; I buy it n the interest of the nude orange color and the milky white one. Well, when I tried them out at home, I am kinda disappointed with its pigmentation. Just sheer colors appeared on my bare hand. I made this swatch without primer:


My opinion remained ill-favored until I tried the palette on my eyes at the following day. Well, like I expected, it's really tricky to wear the colors on my lid. I did put primer before, but the colors tend to be too sheer and unoticed on my NC25 skintone. But I did not give up :D Because it claimed to be wet/dry shadow, I tried with damp applicator and it works better. Oh well, finally done.

Surprisingly, I am quite happy with the result: it is really the orangey nude I wanted for so long (just like young women in Korean dramas :lol:). The best part of this palette is, on the primer (I used Aubeau eye-base) it could stay until really late afternoon. The undrifted colors stay on my lid even after I wash my face.

Then I started to fell in love with this product :D

This is an FOTD I made several days ago:

Hope you notice the eyeshadow :D I add more orangey color with Signature Minerals eyesadow in Terra Cotta. Also put light amount of blush from same brand, named Rose. I really like this pinkish blush as well; so natural on me.

Pros:
- Sleek and good looking packaging
- Nice shades of semi-matte colors at pan or lid
- Long lasting on primer
- Affordable price

Cons:
- Awfully not-pigmented
- Tricky; hard to bring out colors

Repurchase? No. I want products with different colors
