Etude House & Rose Flowering Eyes Palette

Hey guys! I've been checking out the photos we have saved, and there are a whole lot. So, I also saw a bunch of pictures of products that I haven't reviewed yet but has been with me for quite some time, like this Etude House palette.

This palette is from the "Rose" collection of Etude House and it was actually looked out for, for quite a while, because Etude rarely releases a palette that has a lot of colors. A regular palette in Etude has like 3-4 colors, tops. I think their Aloha line had a huge palette too but I can never remember seeing that one. Anyhow.

The Verdict:

Probably the best palette I've ever owned. Although the quality of the shadows vary a lot, (some are chalky and not that pigmented) the palette as a whole is a great buy. The colors are gorgeous. Staying power of the shadows also vary. The colors that can stay on the longest are Falling, Blossom, and Poison.

Since the palette also has neutral shades like browns and peaches, it can easily be used for your daytime eye makeup. I love it mostly because I have never had a palette that had a deep red color which looks totally awesome when used as an eyeliner.

The palette though is a little pricey at 1, 148 Php. The cutel-ly packed palette has two dual ended sponge applicators and a hugggggeee mirror.

This is probably my favorite palette as of the moment and I loooovee Pure because it can double as a shimmery eye highlighter.

Have you tried any of Etude House's palettes? Which one's the best? Lemme know. Cheerio!

ADS Magic Make-up Kit New Fashion

Hi! I just wanted to share with you guys this make-up kit that was given to me by my aunt. She also gave me the Shiny Powders that I reviewed here. 

This was completely given to me out of the blue. It just so happened that my aunt talked about this kit that she has used once, and my mom well, shared that I liked make-up, so she asked if I would like to have it. Of course, I said yes. This was sent to her by her sister from Dubai, I think.

I've heard about ADS. I also have a mini palette from the same brand given to me by my classmates when we had a major Glee Musical production in college. It was from Divisoria. But before you start freaking out, don't worry. Almost all of us used the palette, and no one had a negative reaction. I guess not all buys there are completely, you know, dangerous.

I've used the eye shadows on these as well, and my eyes are doing fine. =)

So, here's my take on the ADS Magic Make-up Kit New Fashion

There are 66 eye shadows, 4 blushers, 8 lip colors, 2 foundations, 2 highlighters, a sponge, a sponge tip applicator with a lip brush, and a blush brush. It also has a mirror on the upper part

The Verdict:

This is my biggest palette yet, so I was giddy when I got this. The qualities of the eye shadow vary. Some are not so pigmented, the others are crazy pigmented. A few were powdery, but everything was workable.
The only thing I don't like about the shadows and blusher is that they all have shimmer and the shadows, some have similar color pay-offs.

The blushers are way pigmented so a little goes a long way. I can't say much about the lip colors because I really haven't tried them. But the staying power of everything probably is pretty much just like you're average eye shadow or blusher.

As for the foundation and the probably-are highlighters, I haven't used them, and I doubt that I can because they're pretty light. But when I do decide to try them out, I'll give you an update.

Overall, I love playing with this palette. The varied colors allow me to experiment on really out there looks and the natural looks. I'm still asking for my sister's permission to post her picture where I used this palette on her. =)

Anyways, happy weekend guys! Cheerio!

Wet N' Wild Mega Eyes Trio in Belgian Chocolates

Hi guys! It's Friday again. Weeks are coming by so fast...anyway. Since my wallet is currently on life-support, as it always is every before payday, I've rummaged through my make-up box for an item that I haven't reviewed yet. And I found this,the Wet N' Wild Mega Eyes Trio in Belgian Chocolates. Sounds yummy huh? Haha.


This was given to me by my aunt and uncle last Christmas. Unfortunately, as I've found out, this line has already been discontinued since about two years ago. But my aunt and uncle usually stay in the US, so I'm thinking maybe they've picked this out there.


So here it is!

So, Wet N' Wild actually has a new line called the Color Icon, which has the similar trio palettes with fancier names (yes, fancier than Belgian Chocolates) which cost 299 each


Pros:
1. The one for the eyelids and the crease are fairly pigmented (had to do two swipes to get the color above) and the one for the browbone is really pigmented. I mean really. =)
2. Comes with a mirror, and not just a small one, a real mirror.
3. Very blendable so it's easy to work with
4. Great neutral colors and good for a smoky brown eyes look too


Cons:
1. It's been discontinued. Period
2. It's kinda shimmery which may be a con for those matte-finish lovers
3. Applicator is too small. It would be taxing to use it to apply the shadow
4. I find it a bit too pricey if it was priced the same when it's still in the market. But what the hey. It's Wet N' Wild. =)


I actually love this trio palette. It's my emergency palette when I'm in a rush yet in dire need of eye make-up. Plus, see how I've already "hit the pan" on the crease e/s? It's been overly used as an eyebrow color. I love how it's not too dark for my eyebrows.


Anyways, happy weekend guys! Cheerio!


Btw, I'm sampling another Korean....sample..haha. Wait for the review next week!

Aido Travel Kit in #2

Hi. I wasn't planning to post an entry before the weekend, but since I was able to get off of work early...This Aido Travel Kit #2 actually came with the Shiny Powders I posted last time. I'm glad my aunt found out I like to play with make-up. So, here's another review. Hope you guys get something good out of it. *laughs*

Price: Around 100-150 Ithink...

Weight: 12.2g

*Comes with a dual sponge-tip and brush applicator

Swatches

(The ones on the farthest left and right sides are blushers)

Pros:

1. Nice neutral colors 

2. Has good amount of shimmer

3. Fairly pigmented

4. Container actually feels pretty sturdy

Cons:

1. Everything, yes, even the blushers, has shimmer! So, I wouldn't recommend it to those who are more attracted to matte products

2. The applicator feels a bit flimsy

3. It's a bit big for me to carry around =)

4. Very few colors to choose from 

5. The blusher on the left is actually to pale, at least for me, to be used as a blusher

I actually use this kit to create a brown-toned smoky look and it works fine. I would recommend this to those who want to experiment with neutral tones with a hint of shimmer. 

Have you tried this? Lemme know. Cheerio!
