Burberry Complete Eye Palette No. 7 Pink Taupe

Let me introduce my favorite eyeshadow palette. This one trumped Guerlain Les Fumes. :) I showed this in a Burberry haul before and promised a review. Here it is!

Fyrinnae Numero Uno

From left to right. Top Row: Immortality, Velvet Vampire, Bonfire Spirits, Witchy Woodland Creatures, Polar Bear, Pixie Epoxy
Bottom Row: Are You My Mummy? Shenanigans, Shinigami, Purgatory, Serendipity, Rapunzel had Extensions

So My picks were Arcane Magic: Velvet Vampire, Bonfire Spirits, Immortality, Witchy Woodland Creatures, Polar Bear, Shenanigans, Shinigami, Purgatory, Serendipity, and Rapunzel had Extensions all in mini sizes. They generously threw in Are You My Mummy? and Pixie Epoxy minis. Everything was packed fabulously. It seems like they have great customer service! 

I desperately need sun for the swatches so they will come at a later date. The loose shadows are not my thing, and these need to be pressed for me but pigmentation and powder quality is great! When I used a patting motions instead of swiping, there was minimal fall out. They do need to be on top of a sticky base for the full out color in my opinion. If you are used to and can use loose eyeshadows, I can't see any problems with these. 

Colors are very complex and they are very affordable so I highly recommend you check them out. :) And they have pressed shadows too!

Lastly, I will come back with how my pressing frenzy worked out once my binder and pans come to me.

Review: Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow Quad in 8 Parma

GA ETK Quad Parma 8
Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow Quad in 8 Parma
 Second Giorgio Armani product review in a row!! It's that season, and I definitely took advantage of the sales and deals for products that rarely go on sale like GA! :) I got this with my VIB coupon at Sephora. Yes, there's Giorgio Armani at Sephora located at Times Square. :D It also has D & G makeup, so check it out if you can.

Although I wasn't super super happy with the quality of the one of the Luminous Lights quad I had, I still liked how it looked on, so I got another one, Gold Lights.

My original review is here. The quality and my feeling about it is pretty much the same so this is basically swatch update. :)

A neutral palette! A safe color combination + the great qualities of Bare Minerals Ready eyeshadows in general is unlikely for failure. :)

Review: L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Golden Emerald and Smoldering Plum

L'oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Golden Emerald and Smoldering Plum 
L'Oreal came out with few new shades of Infallible eyeshadows! I love few of the original shades, so I had to pick these up. Golden Emerald and Smoldering Plum were my first two choices. I ended up getting Liquid Diamond after I got these but I haven't tested it yet. A review for that will be coming soon! :)

Impulse buy, this one. I totally fell for "buy this much and get this much in coupon." It's okay. I've been eyeing it for a bit. :)

My favorite eyeshadows! Inglot 344 and 358

Inglot Eyeshadow 344 and 358 
There are my favs! I don't feel like they are the best of qualities but I am absolutely in love with the colors. They are probably the most flattering shades on me. I often alternate using both as a lid color and crease color and they work well.

theBalm Meet Matt(e) Palette Review

the balm meet matte palette
theBalm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow Palette

TheBalm's Meet Matt(e) is a palette of 9 eyeshadows and a small brush. Each eyeshadow is called Matt + last name. Cute idea! :) According to my sister, the guy on the front looks like a creeper. I don't think so. Shirt and tie. All good. All nine shades are matte or close to matte. Nine shades are Matt Smith (pale beige), Matt Gallagher (light brown), Matt Ramirez (dark warm brown), Matt McDonald (darkened blue with greyish tone - satin finish), Matt Horowitz (cross between navy and blue again with grey tone), Matt Chung (pale pink), Matt Batali (reddened dark brown), Matt Chilling (greyish teal), and lastly Matt Patel (medium brown with strong grey). Overall many shades have greyish tone to them, and there are more darker shades than lighter shades.

Formula is great for matte eyeshadows. Matte eyeshadows are usually more difficult to work with than shimmer, satin shadows but these perform just as well as some good shimmer shadows. The shades are buttery and pigmented except Matt Chung. These are not particularly prone to fall out but since majority of shades are quite dark, I would be careful to tap off the excess and etc. There is a bit of excess powder kicked off when you use it but not much.

These last well over good base. I do notice the darker colors like Matt MacDonald looking slightly muddier and faded after 6 hours of wear.

Packaging is cardboard with magnetic closure. The magnet is strong enough for palette to not fling open unless you open it. :) Since it is cardboard with off white color, it gets dirty quickly. :(

Pictures!

Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow Duo in The Phenomenon Review

BareMinerals Eyeshadow The Phenomenon
BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow Duo in The Phenomenon

Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow Duo in The Phenomenon has Azure Iris and Golden Iris. Azure Iris is light lavender with sheen. Golden Iris is very light toned copper that leans more toward orange than gold with more shimmer than Azure Iris. When swatched, both colors are very pigmented. But on eyes, they are not super intense in color. But I think the color combination does look rather nice together. If you are looking for intense eye look, this won't do it. But it definitely does have a brightening effect.

The texture of the both eyeshadows are great. Creamy, not too much powder kicked off or fall out. I have no complaints.

The staying power is good. It lasts all day with a nice primer underneath. No creasing but Azure Iris shade seems to fade a little toward the end of the day.

Packaging is very similar to NARS products. Rubberized plastic. I find that it doesn't get dirty as easily as NARS and easier to clean.

Here comes the pictures!!
