Review & FULL Swatches : 88 color Eyeshadow Shimmer Palette

Hi Girls!

This has been requested.

This item is a part of my collections that I've been selling.

And here is the review of the eyeshadow palette that I'll be displaying on my

 BLOG SALE

Even though I'm selling and make a profit, I'll be honest to make a review about it.

And this palette, that me and my friends got is originally from HongKong Company that distributed their items to US. (I believe the quality is like other famous eyeshadow palette) But, for this particular eyeshadow palette that we're selling, it has no brand.

I'll be reviewing and swatching from one of our collection which is

  88 Color Eyeshadow Palette Shimmer

The Ingredients

You can see from the back of the package what the ingredients containing for making these eyeshadows :

The Container

Unlike the 120 color Palette that I previously reviewed --> click here! , for this particular palette the texture of the package is made from a glossy reflected texture. ( I bet it reminds you for other famous *uhuk-scents-uhuk* Palette, right? :P ) 

excuse me for my lame pose -__-" 

just to show you it made of glossy reflected texture of the package _ _''

 ( just humiliate myself _ _ )

   

 

 

The Colors

And for this particular palette, It only has a shimmer finishes.

The Dimensions

The Textures

I find the texture is so soft and buttery. And yes because it shimmer you would find the pigmentation is beyond your control sometimes and you would experience fall out in some of the colors. The colors are very true from what you see in the pan. It all blend easily and effortlessly.

The Swatches 

These are all of the swatches. One swipe, No Base, No Primer, At Direct Sunlight.

I'll find if you wear a good primer or base underneath, it'll pop out the color even more, easier to blend and the color will stick and last longer.

 

 

Overall, it's a good eyeshadow collection to invest or play around with. I do have a pretty fair skin, the color maybe a little off from my hand through the swatches I made, but the individual color is definitely so so gorgeous. I promise you :) 

If you interested in buying this palette or other collections please check my BLOG SALE. Will upload more items (whether it's new or preloved-but-still-good-condition items) and with a HAPPY PRICE :)

Review + Comparison : The Pink Sponges

 

Oh The Phenomenal Pink Sponges!

Maybe once on my previous post, I mentioned that the raving of The Mother of all the Pink Sponges : Beauty Blender is too overwhelmed for me.

Yea, despite the crazy price for A sponge, I find myself fill in my curiosity by purchasing one of the set. >,<"

I believe the retail price is around $26 US Dollar. (double beauty Blender)

But I got it for IDR. 285000rupiahs (around $28.50 US Dollar) through a friend of mine.

And as you guys know, I also been purchasing another pink sponges from Etude House ( on the previous post --> click here! )

And for the third comparison, I'll be reviewing another "dupe" pink sponge called BEAUTY SPONGE.

Here are the 3 sponges that I'll be comparing :

Beauty Blender, Beauty Sponge, Baby Doll Puff

Color, Shape, Diameter

As you can see, Beauty Blender has the most vibrant pink color among them. (But unfortunately, that color will fade away and it might leave to your cosmetic or foundation? Well, that's what I heard >,<") While Beauty Sponge is more like a baby pink color and Baby Doll Puff is like a darken pink.

For the shape, Beauty Blender is famous for it's egg shape. Egg shape apparently is more likeable in terms of rolling the foundation to blend them nicely (according to Makeup Geek). However, Beauty Sponge has the same exact shape and grip to Beauty Blender. While on the other hand, Baby Doll Puff has a different shape which is perfect for grip and dabbing (read : bouncing motion) the foundation to the face (according to Goss Makeup Artist).

Even though you might see the different of shape between Baby Doll Puff and the other two, surprisingly, they all have the same diameter, which is 11cm.

Texture, Bounciness, Pores

For the texture, I gotta say Beauty Blender is the winner of them all. The surface is so very soft, it bounce like there's no tomorrow and has the smallest pores which will leave you a flawless finish.

While Baby Doll Puff has slightly bigger pores and didn't bounce as much as Beauty Blender. But it has a more "tough skin" or I might say it made with more solid material.

For this different characteristic, it has it's own minus and plus points. Beauty Blender will easily get ripped if you have a long and sharp nails while Baby Doll Puff is tougher and gonna survive for more.

The close up pictures of Beauty Blender and Baby Doll Puff

While for Beauty Sponge, if I have to compare between those two, the pores is softer than Baby Doll Puff but not as smooth as Beauty Blender. The bounciness for this material is more like Baby Doll Puff because it has more sturdy and solid feel to it.

Damp into water

And another famous part in terms of Beauty Blender, when you soak it into water, the sponge will expands to nearly double it's volume. This technique I believe is used to avoid the sponge absorbing all your makeup products.

For the Beauty Sponge, it also will expands after you soak it into water. But it won't get as twice as big as Beauty Blender does.

While for Baby Doll Puff, it won't getting bigger. It keep the size like the first you saw it.

Before :

After damp into water :

 See the different? 

Beauty Sponge is as almost as tall as Baby Doll Puff, while Beauty Blender is getting bigger like there's no tomorrow.

And all I can feel after I damp all the sponges into water, Beauty Blender and Beauty Sponge are amazingly feel tighter. Meanwhile for Baby Doll Puff, since it won't getting bigger, it leave all the excessive water into the surface of the sponge (even if you already squeeze it) and kinda feel heavier afterwards.

To me personally, this different characteristic of each sponges doesn't determine who will be the "Winner of the Sponges". It leads into the finishes that you're looking for. :)

Finishes

I've tried and compare them several times, and yes Beauty Blender gives a flawless and beautiful finish. The texture is so very soft and give a great bounce. And so does Beauty Sponge, I would gladly say.. it gives the same finish like when I use Beauty Blender. But, it just lack a little bounciness than Beauty Blender.
For these two, best work with liquid foundation. If you use it for cream foundation or any other cream products, it will absorb into the sponges and leave a stain that won't go.

And for the Baby Doll Puff, I found the best using it by spray (spray, not damp) with water or MAC Fix+ (to avoid the heaviness and excessive water on the surface) and best work with cream foundation.

Review & Swatches : 120 color Eyeshadow Palette

Hi Girls!

Me and my friends are now collaborating in selling an affordable beauty items :)

And here is the review of the eyeshadow palette that I'll be displaying on my

 BLOG SALE

Even though I'm selling and make a profit, I'll be honest to make a review about it.

I do love makeup, but sometimes when I just want to having fun with colors especially eyeshadow, we need an extra money to get the colors we desired.

And this palette, that me and my friends got is originally from HongKong Company that distributed their items to US. (I believe the quality is like other famous eyeshadow palette) But, for this particular eyeshadow palette that we're selling, it has no brand.

I'll be reviewing and swatching from one of our collection which is

120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 001 

The Ingredients

You can see from the back of the package what the ingredients containing for making these eyeshadows :

The Container

It made from a matte texture (not glossy, which can leave a finger prints) and sturdy structure.

For this particular 120 Color Eyeshadow Collection, it split into 2 stacks of color sets. 

And each can separately be moved.

There's a ribbon to pull them out.

The Colors

It has various finishes in 1 palette. Shimmer, Matte and Satin Colors.

The Dimensions

 

The Textures

I find the texture is not so buttery, it's more on the powdery side. But the colors are very true from what you see in the pan. The pigmentation overall are great (especially the shimmer colors), but you might find the matte shade sometimes not so pigmented (which probably you can find this problems too from any higher brand eyeshadows).

The Swatches 

These are some of the swatches. One swipe, No Base, No Primer, At Direct Sunlight.

I'll find if you wear a good primer or base underneath, it'll pop out the color even more and easier to blend. 

Overall, it's a good eyeshadow collection to invest or play around with. If you interested in buying this palette or other collections please check my BLOG SALE. Will upload more items (whether it's new or preloved-but-still-good-condition items) and with a HAPPY PRICE :)

Makeup Class at CBC Beauty Academy on Kartini Day

Selamat Hari Kartini all you tough girls out there!

Let's commemorate R.A. Kartini for a while..

 click the picture to her Wikipedia profile

So what are you doing in this lovely Kartini Day? 

I'm attending a Makeup Class at CBC Beauty Academy.

It begun when I saw their ticket to attend a Makeup Class on Indonesian Multiply Market with a much more affordable price than the usual.

link to the ticket --> click here!

As I never heard about the place, so I did a little search and found their Facebook Page and Blogspot.

CBC Beauty Center Facebook Page

CBC Beauty Center Blogspot

It look promising to me, so I think I'll give it a try.
And I never attend a makeup lesson before, it'll be some kind of more formal learn for me.

and hey, gotta love private lesson from other makeup artist, right? lol.

At the time when I bought the ticket it has a period selling time which is 26 March 2012 until 8 April 2012 and a valid date to attend the makeup class ( for a day, 3 hours class ) between 9 April 2012 and 31 May 2012.

After I completed the transaction, I made a call to the Beauty Center and make sure that I already registered as one of the ticket owner. A week after that, one the stuff called me and asked my availability to attend a makeup class at 21 April 2012, 9-12am. And I said, okay! :)

The Class

The Class itself began at 9.30am, because we're waiting for the teacher (makeup artist) to come to the class <- I was 15mins late, but he was 30mins late -__-". And today's class is me with other 3 girls. Okay, I really do think that it's just gonna be me and the teacher, since the ticket says "Personal Make Up Course". hem. kinda tricked me with the words there. But after all, I had fun with them. so, it doesn't bother me too much.

For the first hour or more, we learn how to put makeup theoretically. The teacher, Mas Haans, make a concept in teaching us a "Corrective Makeup Technique", which is to correcting, shaping and perfecting a face shape into ideal shape -> oval shape.

Not forget to mention, in the beginning of the class, they also provide us with a photocopy sheets, a pair of false lashes and a set of brush.

The next hour after theory, we (finally) could get to practice them and applied makeup in our own face. They also provide us with all the makeup we need such as primer, foundation, compact powder, bronzer, highlighter, blush on, eyeshadow, eyeliner. with a range of shade that we could choose. The cosmetic itself is from Italy called Bleneuit (sorry if I misspell it >,<").

From putting on primer until finishing with a pair of falsies, we could ask a bunch of questions to Mas Haans. He apparently an expert in eyebrows shaping and he does an embroidery eyebrows as well.





Finally we reach the end of our makeup class, by putting the hardest part --> a pair of false lashes! yup! I already use false lashes several time, so it's just me perfecting the technique, but for the other girls.. it's their first time! ahaha.. they were all so funny and joking around when putting the false lashes! Love them! lol.

And here they are! We close the section by taking pictures :)

And when we finish the class, Mba Ayu gave us each a certificate along with a tote bag from CBC Beauty Center.

The final look after class

Overall, finally I attend a makeup class like this. I had fun! But I believe, this class is meant for a very beginner in makeup. :)

To close the day, me and my friends watched midnight movie, "Battleship". There's Rihanna in there! lol.

 
She plays US Navy officer Raikes in the film, that  also stars Liam Neeson, Alexander Skaarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Taylor Kitsch.
The story is about a battalion of international navy ships that come under attack from an unknown alien armada.

Watching this, realizing I was commemorating another tough girls out there, I guess.. lol. Rihanna! I'm proud of her. She is so.. different in the movie. *___*
