(review) NYX S115 - The All Ever Wanted Book Pallete + Swatches

Hi guys~~

Finally a review! :D

today i'll review my recent haul from NYX

i bought their makeup pallete called "S115 - The All Ever Wanted Book"

Descriptions from NYX website:

This breathtaking selection of 72 gorgeous eye shadows, 8 face colors, 6 lip colors, 4 blushers and face powders answers the dreams of so many makeup fans. The signature box opens like a book with the tray of eye shadows sliding over to reveal makeup below.

Dimensions

Compact: 7"W x 7"H x 1"D

Extended: 10"W x 11.81"H x 7"D

and here is mine

Open it to see 72 eyeshadows and it comes with a nice mirror too.

Slide the eye shadows tray to see a nice blushes and lip colors, below.

My opinion for this pallete is, it's great for traveling! you can put it inside your bag because the pallete is not too big and it have anything you need!

eyeshadows, blushes, lip color, face powder, bronzer, contour and highlight. it have a lot of products in there.

- Eyeshadows

72 colors of eye shadows is a lot! the eye shadows is pretty pigmented and not chalky at all, the eye shadows is quiet small comparing to single eye shadows but 72 colors is a pay off.

- Blusher

i love all of 4 blusher in it! it's pigmented and give a nice finish to my pale face.

- Lip colors

the lip colors in this pallete is really sheer, that is a let down for me. if the lip color is pigmented this pallete will be perfect.

- Bronzer, Face powder, Contour and highlight

the face podwer match my skin tone really well! the contour is too dark for my skintone but i love the highlight. For the bronzer, i'm not really using bronzer so i use it to contour instead because the color match my skin tone more.

Swatches:

EOTD Playing With Eye Shadows

Hi guys~

finally my internship is done!

yayy for free time~ XD

so i'm really bored today and i decide to play with eye shadows.

i don't really wear eye shadow normally...

i usually just wear eyeliner and mascara.

so i don't have a lot of eye shadow on my make up collections.

just have the natural color...

i also not really good at wearing it, but this is the result.

by the way i'm using this eye shadow

Revlon Custom Eyes ( in :sweet innocence )

when the first time i used it, it fell down....the eye shadow inside is cracking...

huftt... it look so messy right now so i decide to use a picture from google...

Here is some picture of me wearing this eye shadow

i really have to learn more about wearing eye shadow,

how do you guys think? i really want to hear some good advice.
i know you guys are really good at this, XD

(Review) Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Blush

Hi guyss~~

i'm so sorry for lack of post~

being so busy with my internship and cosplay project...

today i'll reviewing a blush that i bought on new year.

Maybelline Clear Smooth Shine Free Blush ( Fresh Coral )

Here is mine, the shade is called Fresh Coral

the color is actually more pink in real, it's almost looks like Hot Pink actually.

As you can see it have a really simple packaging and not cute at all, i'm a fan of Etude House packaging so this blush packaging is a downer.

But i forgive this blush because it's so AFFORDABLE! only around 4$~!

Here is the swatch on my hand

i'm pretty surprise with this blush! it's really pigmented! and the texture is really smooth, not powdery and easy to blend. Really impressed with this blush quality. But you have to be careful when using it, just a tiny amount is good but don't put it too much because this blush is really pigmented and can make your face like a clown...

I really LOVE this blush! the quality make me forget the ugly packaging. i want to try their cream blush actually but i can't find it, but i'm pretty happy that i bought this one instead.

Pro:

- AFFORDABLE

- Really Pigmented

- Silky Smooth Texture

- Good staying power

- Easy to blend

- Easy to find

Con:

- Not cute packaging

Rating: 4.5/5

Here is some of photos of me wearing this blush
