My Experience:-

The eyeshadow palette is a really vibrant one. Starting from packaging then color combo it wins my heart. The texture of the eyeshadows when touching with fingers is little grainy but they work fine on eyes. Love the pigmentation and these eyeshadow work great with primers. They have some fallout so one had to be careful about it.
Overall the palette is really affordable (during the sale) and worth buying too in terms of quality.

REVIEW & SWATCHES OF COLORED RAINE VIVID PIGMENTS AND EYESHADOW PALETTE

“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.” ~Wassily Kandinsky

A colorful palette always boosts me up whenever I check out my stash. and so today I am up with one my recent buy and that too for the first time from the brand COLORED RAINE, their VIVID PIGMENTS, AND SHADOW PALETTE.

Price:- $50 for 16 eyeshadows.
Available:- Colored Raine website here 

Description:-

16 shades of matte vivid colors that's suitable for all skin tones.  Vivid Pigments and Shadows is available in a range of vibrant, highly pigmented shades. These wearable pigments feature a super soft, ultra-blendable formula.

•     Cruelty-free
•     MADE IN USA
•     All shades are vegan except for Unbothered
•     Net Wt. 1.8 g each/0.06 oz/Total Net Wt. 28.8 g/1.02 oz

Packaging:-

The palette comes in a vibrant sturdy cardboard packaging. It has a magnetic closure. There is a huge mirror along with the palette.

My Experience:-

Before investing in this vivid eyeshadows palette I researched a lot on the web about the reviews and I could not find any negative review of it. So I ordered this palette during the sale from the Instagram seller.

The moment I have this palette I just fell in love with it. All the eyeshadows are matte and they are highly pigmented. Although touching these eyeshadows you can feel these are powdery and few are little grainy. But shockingly all the eyeshadows blend effortlessly on my lid and there are no fallouts. I was really amazed at the quality of the pigments and eyeshadows. The shadows work perfectly with or without an eyeshadow primer. And they stay pretty 8-9 hours intact on my eyelids. Now as this one is a pigmented eyeshadow palette so you can see that few shades might stain your eyelids. If it happens just don't panic or hype, it is very common with pigments. Just apply a little amount of coconut oil on your eyelid and leave it for 5-10mins and then wipe it off with any wet wipes followed by wash your eyelids with any mild face wash and the stain will be gone. So this is the only down point of this eyeshadow palette else there are no other cons.

 This is my first buy from this brand and it didn't disappoint me so definitely I am going to try out a few more palettes from this brand in near future.

Overall I loved the palette. And definitely, I would love to recommend it if it is easily available in India at a cheaper price but it is not so, so I would say try "INGLOT" eyeshadows which are easily available in India and have almost all dupe shades of this palette.

 

The pink eyeshadow use on crease line is from this palette and it stains my eyelids.

 So that's all for today. See you in my next post.

REVIEW & SWATCHES OF ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS SOFT GLAM EYESHADOW PALETTE

Hi Everyone,

After ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE (reviewed here) it's time for reviewing another hottest selling palette and that is ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS SOFT GLAM EYE SHADOW PALETTE. It is a new launch by Anastasia just a few months back.

Price:- $42/- + shipping.
Instagram seller price:- Rs.4200/- approx.
Available:- ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS  website here or BeautyBay or from Instagram sellers.

A little more info about the palette (from the website):-


Product description:

Featuring fourteen essential shades, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eye Shadow Palette is the perfect collection of easy-to-blend, full pigment shadows. With a long-lasting formula, this palette is complete with bronze metallics and iridescent finishes ideal for a nighttime look and neutral mattes for daytime.

Shade Descriptions -
 

• Tempera: Ultra-matte velvety beige
• Glistening: Iridescent gold with a hint of pink reflect
• Orange Soda: Ultra-matte pastel peach
• Rose Pink: Rose gold with a soft pink iridescent hue
• Sultry: A hybrid satin metallic finish warm chocolate brown
• Bronze: Metallic gold bronze
• Mulberry: Ultra-matte mulberry
• Dusty Rose: Ultra-matte dusty lilac
• Fairy: Multi-dimensional light gold
• Burnt Orange: Ultra-matte deep orange
• Sienna: Ultra-matte earthy brown
• Rustic: Ultra-matte deep cinnamon brown
• Cyprus Umber: Ultra-matte dark coffee
• Noir: Ultra-matte deep carbon black

Packaging:-
 
The palette comes in a beautiful beige color cardboard box. The box and the palette are of same beige color with the name of the palette emboss on it in white. The outer cover of the palette has a velvety finish.


The palette consists of 14 beautiful shades. The box of the palette is sturdy one and it closes with a magnetic closure. It comes with a mirror and a dual-ended brush. The dual ended brush has one side eyeshadow brush whereas another side is the blending brush. The bristles of the blending brush are little scratchy and it picks a lot of product whereas the eyeshadow brush is less harsh on skin and easy to use. The brush is actually perfect for touch up only.

My Experience:-

The shade TEMPERA and BURNT ORANGE  are two common shades that are present in both ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Modern Renaissance palette and in ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Soft Glam Palette. Leaving these two all are totally different shades.

The palette consists of 14 beautiful mixed shades of neutrals. It is actually a matte and shimmer mixed neutral shades palette which is perfect for every skin tone. The palette is perfect for both daytime and evening look. All the shades are super pigmented even the matte shades too.  Even without primer, the eyeshadows are super pigmented one. The texture of the eyeshadows is so soft that they blend easily. But few eyeshadows have minimal fallout which is ok because the shades are super pigmented as I told you earlier. The most amazing part of this palette is that all the neutral shades are equally pigmented like the dark shades. And the shimmer ones are super pigmented.
 
The staying power of the eyeshadows is worth mentioning. They stay pretty 7 hours plus without any primer on my oily lids. After 7 hours there is slight fading and smudging of shades during summer on my oily lids but that can be fixed with a primer and a setting spray.


Drawback:-
 

• The palette is a bit costly when it comes to ordering it from the website as they have shipping plus customs. So in India, grabbing this palette is a bit problem. So, if you want to grab this palette hassle free then Instagram sellers are the good options for you. And if you want to grab it is less price then check out this palette during LABOUR DAY SALE  or BLACK FRIDAY SALE (when they have almost 20% off on selected products including this palette too).
• Secondly, all the shades are pretty dupeable one in the palette so if you can't grab it you can look for the dupes but I admit that the quality of the palette is something that is worth mentioning.

Overall ANASTASIA SOFT GLAM PALETTE is one of the best palettes that is created by the brand. And the palette is permanent one so anybody can grab it anytime. The palette is a versatile palette full of neutrals shades for everyone to create a different kind of neutral and bold looks for every season. I am amazed by the pigmentation of the eyeshadows in the palette and I think this palette is a must-have palette in your stash if you are an eyeshadow lover like me.
 
That's all for today, I am leaving you here with loads of pictures of the Eye shadow palette followed by an EOTD  created by the palette only.

Packaging:-
The palette comes in a black slim case. The plastic case although very sleek but not so sturdy. If you drop you might break the eyeshadows. The palette has no mirror or brush in it.

My Experience:-

The palette is a mixture of all possible neutrals shades. There are mixed shades of matte, satin and shimmers shades. The shades are medium pigmented.It takes little effort to intensely applying the shades on the eye. The shades are easy to blends and they have fewer fallouts. The eyeshadows are good for beginners only but if you are a pro then you might not get that satisfactory result the way you wanted and need to work a little bit more to get that desired shades on eyelids. The eyeshadows stay pretty 5 hours good on my eyelid without any primer. But these shades work best with primer. Bh cosmetics eyeshadows are good but not better. I wish the brand work little bit on eyeshadow formula rather than on packaging only.
 

That's all for today. See you in my next post :)

REVIEW & SWATCHES OF COLOURPOP PRESSED SINGLE EYESHADOWS

Hi Everyone,

So today it's time to show my COLOURPOP PRESSED SINGLE EYESHADOWS collection.
Colourpop started launching this pressed single eyeshadows from last year and it is just a "HIT"  product for me.
Why? kindly read on...

Price:-$5 for 1.5g.
Availability:- Colourpop website here

"The powder eyeshadow of your dreams - super pigmented colour in a metallic finish, easily blendable, and velvety soft texture creates a soft focus effect that’s super long-wearing."

My Experience:-
Each single shadows come with the single palette (It has a mirror in it) which is just free. Sometime Colourpop has offers like if you buy 4 eyeshadows you will get an empty palette free. So in both ways, these single shadows come with palettes. Colourpop Single Eyeshadows comes in three type of finish MATTE, SATIN AND METALLIC.

I collected most of the colourpop eyeshadows when they were having the discount on eyeshadows and these were $4 each. The reason for collecting so many Colourpop Eyeshadows is just that these are very very affordable one. All eyeshadows are super pigmented. There is not a single shade in my collection that doesn't work properly. The eyeshadows have the buttery texture and they blend easily into my eyes. There are very fewer fallouts. Matte and satin shades are really good while metallic work best with wet brushes.

Overall Colourpop Pressed Powder Single Eyeshadows are must-have for your eyeshadow collection stash as they have a wide variety of colors with the different finish and at an affordable price.


The palette shown in this picture is also from Colourpop. the empty palettes come in two sizes. I have both of them. The mini palette holds 12 colourpop eyeshadows while the big one holds double i.e.24 colourpop eyeshadows. The palette looks really luxe as it is white in packaging. But again it is a drawback too as white packaging gets dirty very easily. So according to me except the packaging and the brand name that is associated with this palette, it has nothing extra in it. These are easily dupeable empty palettes that you can find in many other brands or in random brands too.

From Right (wrist) side to left side the shades are: GOING STEADY, OH SHIP, SECRETS, TIKI, SOFTCORE, FAIR PLAY, ON THE FENCE, ISSUES, TAKE A BREAK,SLIM FIT, CENTERFOLD, FOR SHORE, BEST COAST SCENARIO,SEAS THE DAY, SANDBAR, MUSCLE BEACH, PIECE OF CAKE, 143, GET OUT, STAY GOLDEN.

The packaging of the palette is super luxury one. The white packaging of the palette is very pretty. And the name "KYLIE" written in gold on top of the palette add the cherry on the top.
The palette comes with a mirror on the lid and a white blending brush.

My Experience:-

The palette has a story, the time the palette was launched all the big YouTubers(mostly) just bashed the palette on internet saying that the palette has weird smell, the pan of the eyeshadows doesn't stick properly in the palette, as they move the fingers on the pan it keep revolving on that place. All the down points were actually stopping me to invest on this palette.
But seeing one of a friend bought this palette I decided to give it a shot. And that was the day...till now I never regret buying it.
The palette is definitely pretty. There is no weird smell in the palette at all (just don't listen to the rumors). But yes few pans in the palette although revolve when you move your finger in it but they stick pretty well in their place and never intend to come out. The shades are beautiful. The choice of shades combo in the palette is just good (again, all I miss a black shade...). The eyeshadows are buttery in texture and they are medium pigmented. The shimmer shades are damn pigmented while you need to work a little bit more with the matte ones. The blue shade in this palette (which always draws my attention whenever I open this palette) has a little bit of fallout but it is also awesome pigmented.

Overall the packaging of the palette is 8/10 as the pan revolve(lol...I am still in doubt that they might come out during traveling) and the shades choice and pigmentation of eyeshadows are 7/10 (as matte shades have fallouts).

So that's all for today...see you in my next post.
