Review: Beauty Creations Tease Me Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys! I have another eyeshadow palette review for you guys today. It's from the brand Beauty Creations with their Tease Me eyeshadow palette.

I actually have never heard of the brand before, so I looked the brand online and found out that it is a US brand. I bought this palette for IDR 95.000, which was originally IDR 135.0000. In the official website, this palette is sold at $14.95 each, but they also offer wholesale, so I guess that's where the price gets cut off.

Anyways, onto the products. It comes in a slide-off carton as secondary packaging. The design is exactly the same, so I didn't take picture of the carton and palette in comparison.

Below is the inside palette. There is a medium sized mirror, which I'm not mad at. Looking at the carton packaging, I am already thankful that they included a mirror in this palette.

Here are the colors of the palette. As you can see, the colors are on the pink and brown tones, which are wearable for daily, but not as boring as neutrals only palette. There is a mixture of mattes, metallics, and shimmers on this palette. Some shadows are similar to each other, though.

Let's now move on to swatches.

From top to bottom:

- Lies: matte cream shade
This is a shade that barely shows up on my skin. I think it's because it's close to my skin tone. I rarely use this shade and this shade is probably my least favorite.
- Blissfull: matte medium brown shade
I like to put this shade all over the lids for depth on a daily basis. I think this shade shows up quite well on the skin.
- Pleasure: matte medium warm brown shade
This shade is similar to blissfull, but warmer. I also use this all over the lid for nice and natural depth.
- Kiss me: shimmery champagne shade
This shade is similar with Classy, but more shimmery and less metallic. This shade is similar to my skin tone.
- Innocent: dark matte warm brown shade
This shade is similar with Charming, but it's the warm version. It's quite nice to pair with the lighter matte shades to add more depth.
- Fire: dark burgundy shimmery shade
This shade is simjilar with Tempting and Please me, but this shade is more toned down and less metallic. The shimmers are barely visible. Overall it's a nice shade.

Overall, the first row of the palette contains more of the daily shades. You can definitely make a daily natural look out of the first row alone. For me, I like to use the medium brown shades all over the lids.

Onto the second row:

- Sexy: medium champagne metallic brown shade
I like this shade. It goes on really smooth and pigmented (all of the metallic shades do). It's a pretty pop of metallic on the lids.
- Orgasm: light brownish pink matte shade
This shade is a nice transition shade when you use the pinker shades in the palette. It barely shows up on my skin, though.
- Tempting: metallic dark pink shade
This shade is really pretty! It's really similar with Please me, but comparing them side to side, this shade looks pinker and slightly lighter than Please me.
- Charming: dark cool brown shade
As I said before, this shade is similr with Innocent, only the cool version. This shade is the darkest shade in the palette.
- Nudes: light warm brown shade
This shade is pretty to be combined with Pleasure. It is light and barely shows up on the arm, but shows up on my eyelid.
- Seduce me: light mustard warm brown shade
This shade is similar with Nudes, but has a mustard tone in it. I like to combine this shade with Blissfull. It barely shows up on the swatch, though.

This second row has a variety of colors and some pretty metallics.

Onto the third row:



- Please me: metallic dark pink shade
This shade is also really pretty, a browner version of Tempting. But these two colors actually look really similar.
- Peaches: warm brownish pink shade
This shade is similar with Pleasure, but a lot pinker.
- Classy: metallic champagne shade
This is actually the prettiest shade in the palette. It is really creamy and shows up really well with fingers.
- Dare me: metallic copper brown shade
This shade is also really pretty! It is a nice pop of color, and really creamy and shows up really well.
- Lust: chunky metallic light champagne shade
The first time I saw this palette, I was drawn to this shade. Unfortunately, it doesn't perform really well. It is a beautiful shade, but really chalky and chunky, thus difficult to apply evenly.
- Desire: satin dark brown shade
This shade is really similar with Innocent and Charming, but with small shimmers and satin. It doesn't really show up on the skin though.

Overall, this row contains really pretty pop of colors and metallics for the centre of the lids.

I tried to make an eye look from this palette. Here is what I came up with.

I used quite a few shades, from the lightest: Classy, Dare me, Blissfull + Pleasure, Charming. The look turns out quite well, but I wouldn't wear this kind of look daily.

Overall, there are some pros and cons of this palette. I thought I would just summarize them for you guys.

Pros

• cheap (I bought it for IDR 95,000 from Shopee)
• metallics are really pigmented and creamy
• lasts quite a long time
• can use this palette alone to create an eye look

Cons

• mattes are smooth but not really pigmented
• many similar colors (a huge con for me): Blissfull, Pleasure, Peaches are similar, Orgasm, Nudes, Seduce me are similar, Innocent, Charming, Desire are similar, Fire, Tempting, Please me are similar. Those make up to 3 individual shades and 8 shades that could have been made completely different!

Overall: 3/5

It's a meh palette for me, the metallics are pretty, but the mattes don't make up for the rest of the palette. They're mattes that could be used daily, but I have smaller travel eyeshadow trios from Mizzu and Wardah that could deliver the same thing.

Review : Maybelline The Rock Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys! Today I have an eyeshadow palette review for you guys. I got this as a birthday gift from my friend the other day. It is the Maybelline The Nudes eyeshadow palette.

I'm pretty sure that this palette looks familiar to you guys since it's been out for quite a while.

The packaging comes in a plastic case. On the back of the packaging, there are some instructions, barcode, ingredient list and other miscellaneous things.

The palette is sealed on the opening. The lid opens with a click sound and there is a clear part of the packaging that shows the colours that you're getting.

I find that the packaging is nice for travel and doesn't feel cheap nor expensive.

As you can see, I had to crop the brush part because I forgot to include it in the photo and was too lazy to set up the entire photobox thing just to shoot the brush, so I apologize for that.

The brush is nice quality. One of the end is a sponge tip, which is nice to pack pigmentation on the lid, while the other one is a normal eye brush, which is nice to blend the shadows. I usually don't use the brushes that you get in palettes, but this brush is actually usable and nice quality.

Swatches

finger swatch

Description of each shadows from the finger swatch :

Number 1 : white chalky glitter

Number 2 : light glittery taupe

Number 3 : looks exactly like my skin, so it doesn't show up well

Number 4 : copper bronze with tiny gold glitters in it

Number 5 : light matte taupe, but darker than shade number 2

Number 6 : dark grey brown that I always use to fill in my brows

Number 7 : light brown with tiny gold glitters

Number 8 : dark matte taupe

Number 9 : yellow gold with gold glitters

Number 10 : dark brown with tiny glitters. this shade looks like the glittery version of shade number 8

Number 11 : light champagne

Number 12 : matte black

brush swatch

I swatched the shadows in two different ways, one is finger swatch and the other one is brush swatch (with the brush that comes with the palette).
There are obviously some differences with some of the shadows, but some of the shadows swatch the same with fingers or brushes. So, I would say that there are no big differences.

This is the look that I created using the palette. I feel like this palette is quite challenging to work with. I think the reason why I like to use the grey brown shade to fill in my brows is because the shade isn't that pigmented, so my brows always look natural when I fill them in.
On the eyes, the shades don't really show up that well. This palette may only be suitable for those who like natural makeup, hence the name of the palette, 'The Nudes'.
The lasting power is so-so. My eyelids are quite oily,  so after some time eyeshadows are bound to get mixed with my sebum and sweat and just disappear. I'm not really bothered, since every eyeshadow that I've put on, always disappear on the double eyelid line of my eyes.

So, here are the pros and cons of the palette

Pros

• great packaging for travel
• great shade to fill in the brows
• quite affordable (around IDR 135,000)

Cons

• not that pigmented (esp the black)
• no mirror
• lasting power is so-so

Rate 3/5

I rate it 3 out of 5 because I still reach out for this for my brows. Otherwise, I don't really like the whole palette in general because it is hard to work with the shades to show up on the eyes.

Would I repurchase?

No. I would rather buy a powder brow product if the shade that I always use runs out.

Thank you for reading my review. See you guys on future posts!

Swatches: Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Eyeshadow Palette

Hi guys! Today I have a swatch/mini review of the Wet n Wild Comfort Zone Eyeshadow Palette. I got this as a birthday gift and I was really excited when I first got it.

Here is what the palette looks like.

Unfortunately, it didn't come with a mirror. So, you'll need a separate mirror to apply the eyeshadow on.

Otherwise, the packaging is really nice because it feels sturdy and has a click sound upon opening and closing. So, it won't be shattered into pieces when brought for travelling.

I have to say that the colour is really pretty. On the left side is more for the wearable daily day uses and on the right side is wearable too but the colours aren't the colours that I would like to wear everyday.

Here is the swatches of the eyeshadows. I will describe each shadows one by one.

(ordered from top to bottom)

Browbone #1: This is a really pretty yellow glittery champagne shade. It looks really nice on the inner corners too.

Eyelid #1:The next colour is also really pretty and soft. It is a pink glittery shade. The texture is probably the smoothest out of all.

Crease #1:This next colour is a really pretty every day colour. I can always just apply this with a crease brush and apply eyeliner on. It is a glittery warm brown, almost metallic shade.

Definer #4: This deep glittery warm brown colour is the most difficult shadow to apply. It has the roughest texture out of all 8. It still blends well, though.

Browbone #2: This is a greyish champagne shade and it pairs really well with green shadows.

Eyelid #2: This is a light green shade. I haven't used the right side at all but it looks really nice.

Crease #2: This also has a rough texture. It has a deep green colour and it is the most glittery shade out of all.

Definer #2: I have to say, this colour is the uniquest shade. It looks like a metallic grey shade, but with purple base. It is a really pretty colour.

Overall, if you would like to find a matte palette, don't go for this one because all of the shades are glittery. However, this palette has a really nicely pigmented shadows, especially for daily use. It doesn't crease on my eyes as well.

Here are the pros and cons of the product.

Pros

• pigmented eyeshadows
• long-lasting
• beautiful colors
• affordable ($4.99 on the Wet n Wild website)

Cons

• the shades are all glittery (for those of you who doesn't like glitters)

Rate: 5/5

I really love this eyeshadow palette! The quality is really nice, compared to the affordable price.

Will I repurchase?

I don't think so. I would like to try other eyeshadow palettes as well.

Hope this review and swatches helped! Comment down below about what you think about this palette. I'll see you guys in future reviews!

Review : Sleek iDivine Eyeshadow Palette in Sunset

Hi again guys! Today I have an exciting review for you guys. The product that I'm going to be reviewing today is by Sleek Eyeshadow in Sunset.

I was debating to get either this version or in Storm. But this palette is very hard to find, and I think it will get even harder in the future to find, so I got this one first, and it didn't disappoint me at all.

The box packaging is really nice and quite catchy. It has the name of the palette. It comes with 12 different shadows.

Ingredients :

Mica, Talc, Paraffinum liquidum, Magnesium Stearate, Ethyexyl Palmitate, Dimethicane, Propylparaben, Methylparaben

Here is how the palette looks like. It replicates its name 'Sleek' because it does look sleek. I had to irradiate the palette to get a look on the 'Sleek makeup' writing.

Product

And, moment of truth, this is how the eyeshadows look like. I was so amazed with the colours and they look so beautiful. FYI, they are all shimmery or metallic eyeshadows, with only one matte black shadow at the top left corner.

The eyeshadow palette comes with a sponge applicator and a plastic separator. I didn't take a picture with the plastic separator because it was just a plain sheet of plastic without any names of the shadow, so I don't think the eyeshadows have names.

Duh, I don't have to describe the colours with flash. They all look so beautiful.

Swatches

These are the eyeshadow swatches on my arm. I will describe each colour and I hope I can describe them in detail.

The eyeshadows will be described from left to right.

Sunset #1 : This colour is a matte black shade. It is really pigmented and I love how they put a plain black shade because the rest of the colours are not matte at all.

Sunset #2 : This is a metallic pinkish coral shade. It is a really beautiful shade.

Sunset #3 : This is a metallic pinkish coral shade too. It is quite similar to shade number 2, although it is lighter and oranger in flash and in person.

Sunset #4 : This is a shimmery straight-on orange colour. It looks really beautiful too, although I don't think it is a daily wearable shade.

Sunset #5 : This is a shimmery yellow champagne colour. And again, it looks really beautiful.

Sunset #6 : This colour is a shimmery bright blue shade. Some may find it a nuisance because it doesn't fit with the other colours, but for me, I still think that it is a beautiful shade that I will somehow find a way to work it out with. One downside though, I think this eyeshadow is the least pigmented shade.

Sunset #7 : This colour is one of my favourite colours in this palette. It is a metallic purple shade that will compliment the coral and pink shades.

Sunset #8 : This colour is a metallic pink shade. It looks very similar to shade number 3. The difference is that this colour look more pinkish than the other one.

Sunset #9 : This colour is a metallic copper brown shade.

Sunset #10 : This colour is a shimmery toned down gold shade. This colour is the most shimmery shade of all the shades.

Sunset #11 : This colour is a shimmery rose gold shade that is very beautiful.

Sunset #12 : This last colour is also a bright shimmery shade that is similar to shade number 11. The difference is that this colour looks more pinkish.

The pigmentation of all these eyeshadows are really great. The texture is really creamy and buttery. It has almost no fallouts. So far I'm really impressed with this palette.

So, here are the pros and cons of the palette.

Pros

• very pigmented (no eyeshadow primer needed)
• cheap price (I got it for IDR 180.000)
• buttery and creamy texture
• almost no fallout
• the shades are very pretty
• last a long time

Cons

• some of the shades look really similar to each other

Rate : 5/5

It is by far the best eyeshadow palette for the price. I really love this palette!

Will I repurchase? Of course! I would like to try other versions of this i-Divine line.

Hope this review helps! See you guys in future posts!

Review & Swatches : Etude House Play Color Eyes in So Hot Play

Hi guys! Today I have an eyeshadow review and swatches for you guys. It is from the Etude House Play Color Eyes collection in So Hot Play. This is the visual look of the packaging.

I like the packaging of this product. It is simple yet cute, travel-friendly and compact. However, there is one minus for the packaging : it won't close securely. I have had this problem ever since I got this palette, and this requires me to keep the box packaging in case it might open by itself during travelling.

When you open the palette, there is a plastic separator that has the shades names and a full size mirror. The mirror is extremely useful, especially when you are travelling.
There are also 2 sponge applicators that are actually quite useful too.

This is how the shadows look like when you remove the plastic separator. As you can see, there are a few shades that looks like I have actually used them and there are some that looks untouched.

Swatches

Here are the swatches of the eyeshadows. I will describe the eyeshadows one by one from left to right.

Party Gold - it is a shimmery champagne gold eyeshadow that has a lot of glitters in it. This eyeshadow is quite chalky and has a lot of fallout.

Burning Red - this is a true red matte eyeshadow that is really pretty. Unfortunately, I don't find this wearable and color-friendly during the day. It is quite pigmented.

Temptation - it is a matte burgundy eyeshadow that is also really pretty. To me, it gives off a vampire-y feel whenever I apply this. It is quite pigmented.

Naked - as it is called, this shade looks 'naked', although it does neutralize my eyes for the next colors. However, it looks like I just applied compact powder to my face.

Pony Tail - it is a metallic brown shade that is-I think-the most beautiful shade in the palette, because I can literally wear this alone and it still looks natural. It isn't that metallic and wearable. It is currently the most used eyeshadow in this palette.

Modern City - it is a metallic dark grey shade that is really pigmented. It goes on smooth. This eyeshadow and the next two are very suitable for smoky eyes.

Chic Blue - it is a metallic dark blue shade that is really pretty and quite pigmented too. Suitable for smoky eyes.

All Night - it is a black glittery shade. I don't this shade is very pigmented and I'm not really happy with the pigmentation in this shade.

Snow Queen - it is a really glittery white shade. I find this shade the most chalky and difficult to work with. It has a lot of fall out and it doesn't look good on my eyes either.

Military Khaki - this shade is quite similar to Pony Tail, only it is greener than the other one. It is quite a good shade, but not that pigmented.

I will immediately conclude my review in pros and cons.

Pros

• compact and travel-friendly
• some of the shades are pigmented and pretty
• comes with two sponge applicators

Cons

• quite expensive (IDR 219.000) compared to another eyeshadow that I got the other day
• colors are not that pigmented, and some colors are just very not pigmented
• glittery shades have a lot of fall outs

Rate : 2/5

I didn't enjoy this palette very much and I rarely reach out for this palette. Plus, I'm very sure that Etude House discontinued this palette because it is a limited edition palette.

Will I repurchase? No. I am sure I can find better quality palettes for that price. Review coming soon!

Thank you so much for reading! Hope this review helps!

Review : Mizzu Eyeshadow Trio in Smoky Latte

Hi guys! Today I have an eyeshadow trio review for you guys. It's from a local brand Mizzu, I hope you guys heard of this brand, and it's actually my first time trying this eyeshadow trio. Also, today, I'm going to be writing in two languages, Bahasa Indonesia and English, since this is a local brand. This is the visual product.

Halo semuanya! Hari ini aku punya eyeshadow review buat kalian. Produk ini berasal dari brand lokal Mizzu. Aku harap kalian pernah mendengarnya, dan sebenarnya ini adalah kali pertamaku mencoba eyeshadow merek ini. Juga, hari ini aku akan menulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan Inggris, karena produk ini adalah produk lokal. Ini adalah produknya.

Packaging

The packaging itself is very simple and straight to the point. It has 3 eyeshadows, from the darkest shade to the lightest shade. Although it doesn't come with a mirror, it comes with a small, two-sided brush. The one end is a sponge applicator and the other end is a synthetic brush. I really like the brush.

Pengemasan produk ini simpel banget dan langsung ke produknya. Produk ini punya 3 eyeshadow, dari yang tergelap sampai ke yang paling terang. Walaupun produk ini tidak disertai kaca, produk ini punya sebuah kuas kecil dengan 2 ujung. Salah satu ujungnya adalah aplikator spons dan yang satunya adalah kuas sintetik. Aku suka sekali dengan brushnya.

Product

The texture of the eyeshadow itself is very buttery! I didn't expect it to be this creamy formula. I thought it was going to be chalky and have a lot of fall out, and I was wrong. The orange and brown shade were easier to pick up than the black one. I wasn't a fan of the black eyeshadow.

Tekstur dari eyeshadownya sendiri seperti mentega banget! Aku tidak menyangka eyeshadownya akan se-creamy ini. Aku pikir eyeshadownya akan seperti kapur dan akan banyak yang jatuh, dan aku salah. Warna yang orange dan coklat lebih gampang untuk diambil daripada yang hitam. Aku tidak terlalu suka dengan yang warna hitam, sih.

Swatch

This is the swatch of the product on the back of my hand. As I expected, the orange and brown shade glided on very smoothly and beautifully. However, the matte black shade wasn't as pigmented. I really love the brown shade, though!

Di atas adalah contoh produknya di belakang tanganku. Seperti yang kubayangkan, warna orange dan coklatnya creamy banget. Tapi, warna hitam yang mattenya tidak terlalu pigmented. Aku suka banget sama warna yang coklatnya!

The lasting power of this product is pretty good. It stayed on all day for me. BUT, it left me with panda eyes when I erased it, and it ain't good. My undereyes were black, as if I didn't have sleep for days.

Ketahanan produk ini lumayan bagus. Produk ini tahan sepanjang hari untukku. TAPI, produk ini meninggalkan aku panda eyes ketika aku menghapusnya, dan itu tidak terlihat bagus. Daerah bawah mataku jadi hitam, seperti aku tidak tidur selama berhari-hari.

So, here are the pros and cons of the product :

Pros

• pigmented
• nice staying power
• very cheap! (IDR 35.000)
• comes with a handy brush
• travel-friendly packaging

Cons

• left me with panda eyes after removal

Rate : 4/5 (Minus one point because of the con)

Will I rephurcase? I don't think so. I want to save my money to buy a bigger eyeshadow palette with more beautiful shades to choose from. (Review coming soon!)

Hope this review helps! See you guys on future posts!

Review : Etude House Blink Blink Eye Stick 08 Ivory Baby Star

Hey again to you guys. Today, I have an eyeshadow stick review. It is from Etude House Bling Bling Eye Stick. Mine is in number 8 Ivory Baby Star. They do have quite some pretty colours to choose from.

I bought this 2 years ago for about IDR 40.000. It was really really cheap for an eyeshadow stick that is as beautiful as this.

These are the promotional pictures that Etude House released about 2 years ago.

They are all so gorgeous. Now that I'm looking at the colours again, I wished I had got more colours from this line.

Okay, onto the review.

I'm so sorry if all of the products that I'm reviewing isn't new. I've been using this product ever since I got it and I really really like it.

This is what my product looks like. I tried my best to get the best shot. But, oh well, I'm not that pro either.

This is how much product I have left. And this product sure goes a really long way. I still have this much after using this for 2 years.

The colour is so so gorgeous and I really want to try the other colours as well.

This is the swatch of the product on the back of my hand.

The product glided on very smoothly and creamy. I really like the texture of the product. Because of its creaminess, this product doesn't leave any fallouts. That's why I don't really like to use powdery glitter shadows.

It isn't that pigmented on first and third swipe. However, it got really pigmented at 5 swipes. I could get used to this. Haha.

On the tenth swipe, I reached its full opacity, though I didn't really see much of a difference with the fifth swipe. I think five swipes is enough for me.

This is the product after I rubbed it hard once. Honestly, I wouldn't rub my hands that hard, especially if I were to rub my eyes that hard. However, I don't think this product is very much smudgeproof. I don't really mind this part though.

And this is the product under running water. I did a mistake here by rubbing my hands first before running my hand under water. That's why I'm showing this picture later. This product is waterproof, only if I don't rub it after that obviously.

bonus picture from recent application for better view of the product

This is me wearing the product on my inner corners. It doesn't show up that well on camera and it looks more natural. In real life, it looks really pretty. I really really love this product. I always wear this product whenever I wear eyeliner. AND, it lasted all day for me.

In the promotional picture, the model put the eyeshadow on top of her upper eyelid. I never use this product for that, though. I always use this product on my inner corners and it brightens up my eyes really well, although I don't have any eyebags.

So, here are the pros and cons of this product :

Pros

• really cheap for a good quality product (IDR 40.000)
• waterproof
• the colour is VERY pretty
• lasted all day
• brightens up my eyes really well

Cons

• not that smudgeproof

Yep, I think that is the only con to this product, and I don't really mind that.

Rate : 5/5

Although it is not that smudgeproof, I still really love this product.

Will I repurchase?

Of course I will if I have the chance to. I would really love to try other colours as well. They all look very pretty!

Thanks for reading this. Hope you enjoy this post and see you guys in future reviews!
