This is 6/9 shades that are available |
Starting from the top in shades "Sultry Satin, Coco Loco, Misty Mauve, Mocha Madness, Berrylicious & Cream Dream" |
Sultry Satin: This is very thin liquid, Its a light taupy champagne.....this is a perfect highlight for the brow and sometime i even use it on my cheek bone :) it reminds me a little of benefits high beam, its very light on the eye.
Coco Loco: This shade is a metallic bronze very pigmented and has a gold shimmer to it.
Misty Mauve : This shade is a lilac pink.....very light almost like a highlight too
Mocha Madness: This shade is the darkest of darkest liquid eyeshadow......its a dark brown with bronzy gold going through it
Berrylicious: This is a really pretty pink shade
Cream Dream: This too would pass for a highlight color its more of an ivory/white shade
In Natural Light |
In Sunlight |
I will start with the pros:
- Prices of these are really good
- The dome brush on this makes it easy to apply
- The colours are fabulous
- eh the highlight shades are really pretty
Im not going to put pointers on this one because i want to explain each con. Starting off with applying these oh my god its a race against time when applying these you literally apply and rush to blend before it dries or you are going to have one messy eye.......
You can not use these as a base no way if you do expect your eyeshadow to crease within an hour even with primer they are no good for that!!!!!!!!!
I dont know i just really cant warm to these which is a complete shame as they are fantastic shades and the metallic payoff from these is incredible.
I found the minute they are dry my eyelid felt heavy when i blinked my eyelid felt sort of like cardboard its hard to explain but the eyeshadow just hardened up....and when i rubbed my finger along the shadow it began to flake.....
Even before i ran my finger along my eyelid i noticed the shadow all blotchy. Even after waiting a good 5 minutes for it to dry and putting another layer on it still made no difference.
anyway i think you all get the picture about what i think of these haha..i think i will be passing these down to my daughter :) but one thing i will say is the darker shades are good for eyeliner i just use a eyeliner brush and use it on my top lash line its got good staying power and doesnt smudge.
Picture of "Berrylicious" on my eyelid see how its all blotchy just 5 minutes after applying this is what all of them look like |
This is a picture of 5 of the shadows i swatched, left dry and rubbed on my hand.....do you see the flakes |
I hope this was helpful to you all and if you have any questions please ask away
Until next time
cya soon
lots of Irish hugs and Kisses

I bought Misty mauve a couple of months ago and I felt like I have to learn all over from the beginning with that one... I use mine when I want a very discreet makeup, I dab a little on the eyelids and blend it out with my fingers and then just add some eyeliner and mascara.
ReplyDeleteBut it's sad that one can't get all of that metallic goodness from the colours.. :/
yes i know its disappointing that you have to work hard on a product to make it work its nearly not worth your time as i say the shades are fabulous but i just find i can not use them
