NYX ♥ Mosaic Powder Blush Review

Hello my lovelies ♥ ,
here's another review on some blushes i am collecting for my special use :)
These are mosaic powder blushes. The difference of the other review is this is a mosaic blush compared to a ordinary powder blush.
Mosaic Blushes are combined with color tones that creates a dazzling glow on every skin tone. I have read on these blushes are :

  mineral-based formula highlights, hydrates and helps protect skin.

Mosaic blushes can be used on cheeks , eyes and even lips.


EYES? Yes! you can even use this as a highlight on your eye lids. It can create a great shinny effect that your eyes are glowing.

LIPS? This can be useful for your lips as well if your a type of girl, who wants their lips to have that shine effect once light touches it. 

Oh by the way i bought this at a online shop here in the Philippines at
Hotboutique byCarmella and the owner is Miss Carmella :)
So I only have two mosaic blushes :





I have 06 "Rosey" and 07 "Cafe"


Starting with Rosey , 

It has 5 types of combination colors in it. Starting from clockwise, Light baby pink , dark-medium pink, pinky-taupe, peachy - light brown and on the middle is a medium light vanilla color.



This blush creates a sweet highlight for your cheeks. ^_^


Next blush is called  07  in CAFE .
This type of blush isn't that brown it's more TAN and really really pigmented and it's great to use for your bronzer. It's powder is a bit darker perfect & serves as your bronzer to make you face more slimmer & structured plus it is pigmented. 
My opinion is i use a stipple brush because a stipple brush picks up the blush but when it's in application it focuses on one certain area, so with the help of a stipple brush it can help blend it in. 
It last's throughout the entire day ^_^

TIP : If summer is in, this is really really perfect for those sun kissed cheeks or even get those tanned structured face by using this as your bronzer.





Above all i have no comments about these mosaic blushes, and one thing i like is it's Not Chalky  &  Has no scent at all :)


Have a great weekend & God Bless Ladies

My New Too faced shadow Insurance


Hello my lovelies  

for the past week i regularly check out online shops on face book, and i came across on Hoopsand Loops  owned by Patricia Dadgardoustand and i saw lots of pretty cosmetics on her shop. Then the Too faced Shadow Insurance just caught my eyes , i just couldn't resist not to purchase it. So i purchased this eyeshadow primer, and yes. I switched up my eye shadow base primer, but i do still love my e.l.f eyeshadow primer, because it has been 
with me ever since i started to love make up.


So here goes my review. . . . .


So first Starting off with the  size if the TUBE itself:



As you can see the size of the tube is just the same size of my palm. That means it's a but small & easily to carry on your makeup bag. Plus it's not that heavy too.


Now for the Cap of the tube, it's not just any ordinary tube, look closely inside the tube it has a metal thing/y surrounding the inside. :


The purpose of this is when you try to get a amount of primer on your finger, it provides as a cover for the opening of the tube, it won't smudge any primer all over the inner cap. :)

The primer has a long slimmer nose opening for the primer to go through :



The entrance of the primer comes out small because this will help you measure the amount of primer you will be applying on your finger. Adding to this my advice is to just take a tiny amount because it will cover your entire lids and up to your brow bone plus what's left of the primer on your finger you can apply it last underneath your water lines.


At least one pump is enough :)
And look how the primer has it's own balance kind of like Creamy too.


Once the primer is applied on top of your eyelids it will set in once blending it well. You can even use your finger to blend it out. Here's how the Primer looks once it is blended:


The good thing about this primer it's formula is not that WATERY it has the balance in mixes of WATERY + CREAMY = GOOD RESULTS ^_^
It's also much easier to blend with a primer that's not too creamy & not too watery.

Here's the final result of what the primer looks like once it sets in :


It's really cool to see that the primer just set in my skin. And with the camera's flash it didn't catch any harsh creamy/watery cakey primer at all ^_^

PROS:

* It will help prevent your eyeshadows from creasing
* NO FRAGRANCE AT ALL 
* Easy to blend with
* One tine amount fits the entire eye lids.
*Last long through out the entire day :)
* It's a bit PRICY but it has great satisfaction ^_^


CONS:

NONE AT ALL!

Take care & God Bless my lovelies

BH COSMETICS 88 COLORPALETTE neutral Eyeshadow



Hello my lovelies ❤ 

Before moving to my review about this Fantastic Fabulous Palette, i bought this around Last month and it was on January, so sooorrrryfor the late review :( I have been totally busy throughout the whole week days because of my busy days.


So for this review my lovelies  is alla bout the 88COLOR PALETTE  NEUTRAL EYESHADOW from BH COSMETICS. I purchased this at Shadz online Shop , the owner is miss Jean Sarah Atiagan. She sells a lot of amazing fabulous cosmetics on her shop, so do check out her shop, her shop has a facebook page, just click the name on top and it will direct you to her shop :)
And i wanna thank her for the smooth & fast communication for my purchase, Thanks sis Shadz :)




So let's start From the Package :

The palette Comes in a rectangular box, so at the back of the box, it has the ingredients of what contents the eyeshadows have.  Plus it has pictures of their palettes like the 120 color palette 1st edition and etc. They also have blush palettes too.
The BH cosmetics is a bit similar to the coastal scents. 


Here's My precious palette :) 



I purchased the 88 NEUTRAL colors because i wanted to make more experiments based on neutral colors and with a spark of natural warm shades.

Here's the 88 NEUTRAL EYESHADOW's :


yup i know your eyes can't resist the gorgeous shades, like DUH!?? who can't?! like look at these shades, they are gorgeous. Shades like these are best for special occasions like weddings, proms , home coming queen, pictorials, or any type of occasions as as long as the eyeshadows are matched up to the occasion. Like if your going for a smokey but a bit neutral then this palette is the one for you.



Just look at those colors, any variety of shades you can experiment on, as long as the out come turns out GOOD :) , matching up the eyeshadows can also give you a amazing gradient effect, like for instance you see those dark plummy color & a light purple? you can use those to create a type of look were in the transformation of the gradient blends in well together.


I believe that the size of the eyeshadows are about a size of a 0.25 pesos scents.


Here are some SWATCHES , i didn't go over detailing ever row because it is a lot , but i can update you with additional swatches:


With the flash of my Camera:



with out the Flash of my camera:



As you can see the colors does stand out pretty amazing , it is pigmented too. even in normal light the camera still catches the soft colors. 

PROS:
  • What i love about the palette is, the neutral shades has soft pleasing hues that could your eyes a neutral spark with a tint of gorgeous in it :)
  • The eyeshadows are very pigmented.
  • with warm colors it's amazing to experiment for a look you want to achieve, if you are a person like me, who loves neutrals a lot :)
  • IT'S NOT CHALKY AT ALL. that's a good thing.
  • It has a iridescence of a bit shimmers in it but not too much.
  • the colors are absolutely INCREDIBLE.
CONS:

  • What i don't like about the palette is, i wish that they could put a 1 blending brush and 1 eyeshadow brush, instead of a eye sponge.
So for the update for my continuos swatches i will be posting it soon.

Oh by the way if you wanna check out the colors in my video i did make a tutorial using this palette, the tutorial is "Pretty simple Gyaru Make up look" :




Hope you all had a great day & God Bless.

Beauty Cosmetics 8 pcs Pink Brush Set


Good evening my lovelies 

I know us girls are into make up cosmetics such stuff like that, but to be able to use your make up goodies, you have to have a set of brushes that you can work with your self. Because since dealing with your make up has a lot of effort and passion in it, it's not the way you just apply it with a  simple application, it's the feeling & passion what makes you want to do what you love. So i have bought the 8 pcs. Brush Pink set at Beauty Cosmetics , and here's the Brushes: 


First starting with the package itself, the brushes comes in a black leather pencil case shape and the case is in a black shinny leather :


The case is SLIM, and handy to carry. And the good thing is it's not bulky, and you can carry this on your purse too. :)



FOR THE BRUSHES :


Big Angled Brush 

I believe that this type of brush can work with your liquid foundation, because it's easy to handle it and, i preferably recommend using this type of brush for liquid foundation routines, because it can give precise angles to wear you applied areas on your face.


The brushes bristles has a kind of off white color on the ends, and it's a helpful thing that beauty cosmetic's brushes has these, because you can easily identify that your brush has picked up the liquid foundation due to the off white on the bristles ends.  


Plus, i love the name on the handle that's printed in their brand name :)
Very chic and pretty.



Big Complexion / Face Brush

with this type of brush, i preferably can use this for my HD powders to gently pat this on my entire face. 


Or even loose foundations can be used by this type of brush, and again the ends of the bristles has the off white color, this will be easily to identify if the brush picked up your hd powders or loose foundation too.



Small Flat top Brush

i love this brush, because this type of brush can be used as buffing your concealing application, like on certain areas that some brushes can buff in, so this type of brush can buff some small areas that it can reach and easily buff it in for you.




And as you can take a closer look, the brush is flat and PROMISE, the bristles are very soft :)



Eyeshadow Brush

This is good for applying your eyeshadows, because the brush is smooth and flat.


CLOSE UP LOOK:



Blending Brush

Blends any harsh edges on your Crease area, plus blending the eyeshadow colors together to give a gradient lovely effect. I do HIGHLY recommend you girls having a blending brush like this one, because in make up it's all about blending colors together and crating a unique eye makeup for yourself or even to your clients as well too.




Sponge Applicator:

This is useful as well because for some eye makeup looks, if you wanna create a smudged grunge effect, the sponge applicator is very useful. You can easily smudge your eyeliner and it can create a grunged look , it's kind of a messy look but depending on the type of look  you are creating. For example:
Rocker chic, or even like Avril Lavigne's signature look like her smudged grunge eyeliner:)



Flat Eyeliner Brush:

I do believe that this brush is useful for precise application for your gel liners.




Angled Eyeliner :

Again this brush is for the eyes, and gives precise application to your eyes with a gel liner. plus Angled eyeliner's are easy to handle because as you can see the tip of the brush is in a angled position, meaning you can make a flicked end to your wing with your gel liner. :)




Okay, this is my own opinion for the brushes that i just gave a review on, i wish that there was a Pencil Brush and a small Flat Stiff shader brush. Pencil brush, because i am more specifically when it comes to my make up, because i want to make a guide for my eyes with a pencil brush, because it's much easier to have a brush that gives you a guide to your outer "v" area. While a Flat Stiff shader Brush is for high light to the brow bone, because it gives a lift to the face and it smooths out the blended eyeshadows on the eyelid area.


But i do Adore the brushes because they're in pink, and pink is my favorite color :)


"Have a great week end my lovelies"
