Review + Swatches : Urban Decay Vice 2 Eyeshadow Palette

Hi bubblies!
How's your day?

Hope you're doing magnificent no matter where you are rite noww! 
I'll send all my love for youuu :*

So todaaay I am back with another review. 
And this time is to one of the most stunning eyeshadow palette that I've been longing for sooo loongg. Since it came out.
Urban Decay Vice 2 Eyeshadow Palette
<3

What it says : If eyeshadow is your vice, here's the ultimate fix : 20 BRAND-NEW shades, plus a double-ended Good Karma brush. Experiment with insanely cool brights, not-your-average neutrals and sexy hits of smoke, all in our decadent, revamped formula. Even the presentation is luxe. With the touch of a button, the jewel-inlaid case opens slowly, seductively, to unveil all that gorgeous eye candy. Ah, sweet addiction.

This is just the most magical thing that ever cross my eyes... *_*
 I mean.. look at that beauty! It sold me already! :D


And when you open the inside, you'll get such a wonderful 20 BRAND NEW eyeshadow shades from Urban Decay. ( 20 x 0.8 g POIDS NET/NET WT. 20 x 0.03 oz )

 The packaging came with a mirror inside. 
It's pretty handy when you need it on the go.. hmm... oh no. need to correct. 
I mean, a GENEROUS size of portable mirror! :3

 It's the type of pushing the black label there. 
and it will be automatically wide open for you.



It is also came with a dual ended "Good Karma" brush.

Perfect for packing in eyeshadow ( top - flat type brush ) and blending ( bottom - round type brush ).

I don't have much words for this, except it's a good quality synthetic brush.
 And I would reach this brush if I ever gonna do eyeshadow on the go, since it came perfectly fit in the palette.

The Eyeshadows

The Swatches
no primer. no base. under indoor artificial lamp ( night ) & lighting day sunlight.

First Row

Smoke Out - Lovesick - Shellshock - Coax - X Rated

For this particular row, I would theme this group of color as :

"Romantic Rebellious"

XD lol.

Because to me, this row consist of the mixture of both dark smokey and ultra feminine color.

Smoke Out - is a satin finish black shade. The texture is very creamy and spread oh so nicely. When you pack this color on your lid, it stretches like a dream and almost without even a fall out! I mean, all of this shades in the palette are such an amazing amazing quality to begin with. ^0^

Lovesick - is a matte deep charcoal grey with silver specks in it. To be honest, I am quite disappointed with this shade. As you can see.. at the first picture swatches above ( the one with the indoor lighting view ), this shade felt dry and hardly come out after couple of use. At first layer, it is sooo smooth like Smoke Out. But it was only for the first impression I guess :( And I only found this case for this specific shade alone.

Shellshock - is a jewel tone silver color. Seriously, the best gun metal and bedazzled silver shade I've seen. This is by far my personal favorite for it's quality! :D

Coax - is a shimmery valentine pink shade. This shade is a true heartbeat to create a romantic look :)

X Rated - is a satin finish bubblegum pink. What can I stressed even more? bubblegum! PINK! yes. LOVE this shade without a doubt then. :* #smooch

 

Second Row

Prank - Madness - Strike - Stash - Poison

For this particular row, this is a perfect shades for :

"Fall Season"

When you look at it, don't you just feel an instant warmth of fall weather in your heart?

haha.. it does on me :))

Prank - is a darken matte blue-ish green-ish with teal color specks in it. As you spread it on the skin, it's almost like a charcoal grey, to be exact. But I guess with a certain base color, this would be a stunning unique color without a doubt.

Madness - is a shimmery blue-ish teal color. I imagine this shade would be stunning as a pop of color for the lower lash line!

Strike - is a shimmery gold shade. This color is just look soo expensive and luxurious. As they say.. gold is a girl's best friend, right? Or am I just made that up? *it's diamond, fell.....!! diamond that is a girl's best friend.....* lol. XD

Stash - is a stunning falling leaf color! This green shade just the star to create a perfect FALL look. It also has sort of silver specks in it. But it still, screams FALL right away, don't you think? :3

Poison - is a green-ish charcoal with multiple specks color in it. This shade slightly has a fall out and quite chalky comparing to the rest of the dark shades. And this shade overall stunning color standing next to Stash.

Third Row

Radar - Damaged - Voodoo - Betrayal - Derailed

This row, I would theme this group of color as :

"Pop Icon"

Haha.. And to me, this is my personal favorite row. Lovee the pop of purple and green color that Urban Decay throw in to this palette!

Radar - is a shimmery bronze-y color with silver specks in it. Stunning color! And I bet this shade is looking awesome in every skin tone color.

Damaged - is a shimmery christmas-y green. And this type of green my friend... is a stand out color to put it on your eyelid! trust me.. :D

Voodoo - is a shimmery darken purple with purple specks in it. As a purple lover, I know this shade is just so on point to create a purple smokey look. You. just. need. this. in. your. life, girlfriend...

Betrayal - is a shimmery bright metal purple. This is another whole new dimension of a purple shade. one word. MAGICAL. #weeee

Derailed - is a shimmery darken taupe color. This color screams "sophistication" to me. Among of all the fun shades in this row, this color stands out to be different and serious. A good serious >> Sophistication. :D

Fourth Row

Dope - Toxic - Habit - Ambush - Rewind

For this particular row, I would theme this group of color as :

"Feminine Neutral"

Because to me, this row is a dazzling neutral pinkish color. Perfect to create first date look, or even everyday soft makeup look.

Dope - is a satin finish pinkish neutral color. I don't know what this palette would work without this color existence. This is the shade that tone down all of the heavy colors above.

Toxic - is a shimmery rose gold color. This is just beautiful on its own. Pretty oh so prettyy...

Habit - is a creamy beige nude color. This shade has the most creamiest texture. When you feel it, it almost like a MAC painterly paint pot! Great transition color or just act as a base color all over lid after a primer. Awesome.

Ambush - is a shimmery reddish brown color. This shade would be oh soo pretty to be put on the outer crease. Give a great depth of dimension to the eyeball, also brighten them up because of the reddish undertone in it.

Rewind - is a matte chocolate shade. For a matte finish, I find this shade is quite creamy in texture. easy to work with and blends nicely as well. It is overall goodness. :)))

All in All..
Well yes, this palette is a piece of jewellery in any makeup stash.
Having this is like a privilege to glam up the eye look.

And that's the perfect describe to answer : Do you need or want this in your life..

or perhaps, your beauty needs in this case.

It's back at ya that could answer the question :)))

♦♦♦ Review + Swatches : Silkygirl Blockbuster Color Palette in No.5 Smokey Charm ♦♦♦

Hi bubblies!

How's your day?

Hope you're having a fabulous one! :D

So, here's the eyeshadow quad that I promised to make a full review of.
Once I use it on my previous tutorial post --> here :)

To start with, maybe I did a mistake earlier in naming this quad.

From the packaging itself, it's just titled with a Blockbuster Color Palette that I thought that would be the exact name for this color choices. But after do some research for this full review post, I just knew that the range of all this eyeshadow quad is a Blockbuster Color Palette. 

And for this exact color choices, they called it..

"No.5 Smokey Charm" 

*woops. I guess I did a pretty good job in knowing the exact makeup look before knowing the use of this shades for! lol*

there you go -____-"

****************************************************************************** 

here's some info from their official website http://silkycosmetics.com/eyes.html

Blockbuster Color Palette With the all-new Blockbuster Color Palette, adding drama to your eyes is so easy. It includes an interesting selection of pigment-rich eye shadows from classic neutrals to bright funky colors – you can create any look that you desire The Blockbuster Color Palette is sure to guarantee you eyes-cellent performance.

******************************************************************************

 ☆☆☆ The Packaging ☆☆☆

The packaging is just a lightweight plastic material. Clear on top and glossy opaque black as the base. The length & width for the compact are 7x5 cm. thickness 1,2 cm.

 

 They also include the sponge tip applicator there.

 Also a bonus tutorial in a way you can use the colors.

 

☆☆☆ The Ingredients ☆☆☆

  ☆☆☆ The Swatches ☆☆☆

no primer. no base. lighting under day sun light.

 

 

no primer. no base. lighting against day sun light.

no primer. no base. lighting indoor room light.

As you can see, they all have the same finishes which is a sheer satin and not so opaque pigmentation as you would imagine from the pan. For all the swatches above I need 2-3 swipes to achieve that color pay off.

The texture is more on the powdery side. You would experience an excessive fall out for picking them up with a brush in the pan.

For the staying power, is just decent to me. It will fade or become dull within 4-5 hours ( I would say ) on my eyelid, if I don't use any primer or base underneath.

All in all..

This quad is good, but not that great. I like the color combination so much, that's why it's still a good purchase for me. I still can create a subtle smokey look or just an everyday laid back look with this quad alone.

Bought for IDR. 86000 rupiahs ( around $ 8.60 US Dollars ) at Guardian, Mal Kelapa Gading.

That's it my review.

♦♦♦ FOTD : Blockbuster Eyes [ including Step by Step Picture Tutorial! :D ] ♦♦♦

Hi bubblies!

How's your day?

Hope you're doing awesome!

Maybe the title kind of confuse you?

haha.. please don't be. >.<"

It's because I've been trying out and playing around with this eyeshadow quad from Silkygirl called Blockbuster. 

 I promise the quad will be up for my full review soon ya ^^

<< UPDATE >>

♦♦♦ Review + Swatches : Silkygirl Blockbuster Color Palette in No.5 Smokey Charm ♦♦♦

 

Meanwhile, I've been keeping it for quite sometime now. But just recently got into the zone to play with it. When I bought it in the first place, I knew that the color would be a perfect suit to create a sultry smokey eye!

I just had one time to play with it until now and knew exactly what I would normally wear using the color combination in the quad. Of course you can be creative and create tons of look using this quad alone. 
In the meantime, this is my one typical-I-would-normally-wear look that I manage to come up with using all the colors in the palette.

 ♦♠♣ Unto The Tutorial  ♣♠♦

To make it easier to look at, I'll just categorized my makeup done in 3 big parts.

But as the ☆star☆ of the show, let me introduce you a bit to the colors in the quad.

( top to bottom )

A = let's just call it yellow

B = let's just call it pink

C = let's just call it grey

D = let's just call it navy blue

1. Eye & Eyebrow

( Step by Step Picture Tutorial )

 

1. Start with bare eyes. 

2. I'm using NYX HD Eyeshadow Base to prime the eyes and gently spread the product using ring finger until it completely absorb to the skin. 

3. Using Small Dome Brush by Masami Shouko, take pink and put it above your eye crease. 

4. This would be the transition color. 

5. With Sigma F70 Concealer Brush take grey and place it in the outter of your eye lid area. 

6. Slightly blend them in.

7. Don't forget the lower lash line too.

8. This will instantly warm up the eyes.

9. Next is, using Sigma E55 Eye Shading Brush take navy blue and place it in the center of the lid.

10. Just packed it on and push it until the color is pretty intense.

11. Back again with step 5, because you may loose some of the color there.

12. Keep blending with more step 3.

13. I usually bring the transition color towards the inner eyes. This will make your eyes bigger and more open. ( Adjust with your own eye shape )

14. Don't want any harsh line, Sigma E40 Tapered Blending will be your BFF.

15. Moving on, using Sigma E70 Medium Angled Shading take yellow and place it under your brow bone.

16. Just flipped the brush and take yellow again to highlight the inner corner of the eyes.

17. And you're pretty much done with the eyeshadows.

18. Next step is the liquid liner. I'm using Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner in Black.

19. Make a cute wing liner that flattered any eye shape that you have.

20. I'm taking Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil in Pure Purple to my waterline. Just give a nice pop of color there.

21. Then quickly filling the eyebrow with some eyebrow powder. For this, I'm using one eyeshadow color from my NYX Nude on Nude Eyeshadow Palette with Sigma Small Angle E65 brush.

22. For my liking, I like to extend the tip of my brow as well.

23. Set the eyebrow with some eyebrow mascara. I'm using Dolly Wink Eyebrow Mascara in no 3 Cocoa.

24. Put on some mascara. My favorite double up mascara are The Falsies Volume Express Waterproof Mascara in Black + Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black 

And here's the finish eye :D *wink*

Goss, I need to stole your trademark this time. sowwyy :P

Okey. I'm gonna cheat a bit and put my half cut falsies to my outer eyelashes.

Need to feed those poor lashes, babey! wii~~

For the eyes, you're pretty much done!
