Beauty Product Reviews

LOVE

I had wanted to try these shadows but didn't wanna drop the ridiculous amount of money on this. Luckily I received this palette in the beautylish lucky bag.

The first time I tried it, my reaction was definitely "meh". The product had been so overhyped that I wanted to find anything to dislike about it.

The shimmer shades are stunning but are difficult to apply, in my opinion, unless you use your fingers. Luckily I'm not against using fingers. A stiffer synthetic brush could also do the job but fingers are easiest.

The matte shade...I'm so used to "buttery", thicker textured mattes that I hated this matte the first time I used it. I used a Hakuhodo brush and swiped gently on top of the matte. I saw nothing. I was so disappointed.

The next time I went to use it, I used the same Hakuhodo brush, but I really got in there and swirled my brush around to get more product. This time around, it applied beautifully, smoothly and with no fall out. The verdict is that I have to use more product than I would with some of the other popular shadows I have (read: make up geek) but I don't have a problem with that since the pan is so big. The texture is thin but that means less fall out so I don't mind.

The shades are perfectly complimentary with each other and the shimmers are an absolute dream.

I will definitely be buying more of these.

Surprisingly good

I am a die-hard fan of the brow wiz, and so when I received this in my beautylish lucky bag, I was sceptical. I'm glad I gave it a go though, because I absolutely adore it! I received mine in the shade Universal Taupe, which was a surprisingly good fit for me. I usually use granite in the brow wiz so I thought taupe would be bad but it looks really natural against my almost greyish (Asian) eyebrows. The shape makes it really easy to use and the packaging is very sturdy with a good spoolie at the end. The only thing is when I received mine, it was snapped at the base. Beautylish (and Diana in particular) were amazing about it and replaced it immediately. My new one has no issues but I wonder if it was a fluke, or a manufacturing defect?

Lightweight and lovely

I received this in my 2017 Lucky Bag and was very pleased with it. It looks nice on, lasts a long time and has a nice moussey texture, which makes it easy to apply. I do find it to be a bit drier than some of my other liquid lipsticks, which makes me want to lick my lips a lot and that doesn't help with wear, but it's all personal preference.
