Review & Swatch: Lorac Pro Palette

Eye shadows...I am obsessed of eye shadows, I have a tendency to buy eye shadows or to go to eye shadow area of beauty store, it is like I never have enough eye shadows. Now I have like 7-8 eye shadow palettes, maybe I should stop for a while in buying the palette, since I have some to try on. :P

But today I just want to share my review and swatches on my new Love " LORAC PRO PALETTE" 

I mentioned in my Jan Favorite that I am so in Love with this product so why not I write one post especially for it. :)

Here is the picture of the product again. It comes with mini eyeshadow primer called Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer. Real quick review on the eye primer: it works really good in keeping the eyeshadow and definitely long lasting. 

Move on to the eye shadow, you all have peek of it already from my Jan Fave but here are some of the close up and swatches :)

The close-up

It consists of 16 shadows which combination of 8 matte and 8 shimmer shadows so you have balance amount of those two types. Upper part are all the matte shadows and Bottom part are the shimmer shadows. All of the shadows are very pigmented or I should say Ultra-pigmented which I was so surprised when the first time I swatches it for the first time. 

Here is the swatches: 

• All of the color is crazy pigmented and it doesn't fall off when you apply it. 
• This is taken without any flash, only with normal light and taken with IPhone, you can see how the color is so obvious without editing or taken with any professional camera. 

One other thing I like about this palette is the Packaging. It is very light, slim and yet simple. Easy to carry around while travelling. 

See, how slim it is :)

Conclusion:

1. Great color payoff, little effort in getting the color you desire. 

2. Combination of Matte and Shimmery shadows, it is a good choice on-the-go product when travelling.

3. Simple and light packaging

4. Comes with great eye primer (mini size)

5. Good colors choice, can do from Natural to the Red Carpet looks

Price: USD 42

Re-purchase: DEFINITELY! I will even buy other Lorac products like the eye primer and the shadows with other bold color if they make one. :)

Thanks for reading and Happy Sunday lovelies :) :)

Jan 2014 Favorite Products

Hi lovelies, this is  my first time in doing my Favorite post. I begin to accumulate lots of make-up & skin care products so I am thinking why not write my favorite make up products at the moment and I will definitely re-purchase the products until I find new and better products, haha.

OK, here is some Make-up Products I am loving now:
1. Eye Shadow Palette
    I am soooo in love with LORAC PRO PALETTE. I highly recommend this product to all Make-up Lover. The color payoff is crazy GOOD!! It doesn't have lots of fall off and the most important is with one swipe you can get the color you desire without the need of many application.

I will specifically write a post more about this palette since I am so in love with it. HAHA!

It also comes with Eye Primer

2. Foundation
    When BB cream is introduced for the first time, I switched from foundation to BB cream ever since. But after moved to Singapore, I don't know why BB cream always give me that shining face in the end of the day, don't know if it is the weather or my body changes. :P so when I was back home in Medan, I went to check out Revlon product and the lady suggested me this foundation and it works wonder. No greasy, oily face now. And it said it could stay for 24H but I think 12H (in my face) but it already good considering drugstore product with long lasting effect, light and good coverage.

3. Concealer
    I have lots of concealers as we all ladies must have, we just like to buy stuffs (don't we?) haha. But now I am liking this concealer from Bare Minerals, from the packing to the coverage.
The packing is small, so it is easier to carry around and the coverage is good, covers most of my acne scar.

4. Blusher
   I usually do not use blusher a lot since I was kinda lazy to put so many products in my face for daily basis. But when I was home for CNY this year, I tried my sister's blusher by Maybelline, I was like OMG!! It really gives some color to my pale face (haha), so I decided to run to Maybelline to buy it and it is cheap with great color. Recommend it!!
   

5. Make-up Brushes

    Till now, I love 2 brands of makeup brushes which is SIGMA brush and Real Technique. Both of them works wonder in doing their job haha, I love Sigma steadiness in all application and as Real Technique I love its Powder Brush which gives the neat finished for the powder application. 

Both of the brushes are good quality products, but Sigma brushes are pricey. So for you with limited budget and want good brushes, you can really consider Real Technique Brush. It never fails me. :) :)

So that's about my Jan 2014 current Favorite products, what about yours?? :) Have a nice week ladies 

Review: Real Technique Brush - Core Collection

Hi Ladies, Happy CNY!! Wish all the blessing and happiness be with you all in this holiday season! 

Oh well, today I am going to review about this magnificent make-up brush that I am loving at the moment which is REAL TECHNIQUE BRUSH by Samantha Chapman. You ladies must have heard about this brushes by her, it is viral in YouTube and blog as well. It is quite difficult to buy in Asia so I ordered mine online from the states and of course with my friend's help, these babies are in my hand now. LOLXX

Here are the pics I took of my baby brushes:

the handle is a bit dirty (coz i m using it everyday) haha

To be honest, these brushes really work wonder, because before I used Korean brand brushes and some of Sephora brush, I also like Sephora brush esp their blending brush. But today I am talking about their core collection which are consists of 4 full size brushes and standing case. 

I am going to talk about this standing case, aside using it as its container, I like to use its stand to dry all my brushes after deep cleaning my brushes because I don't like to put my brushes in a jar to dry, I think it takes longer time to dry. So I use this standing case instead, save my time and my brushes :P :P

So what are the brushes in this collection???? Wanna know?? Keep reading yaa :>
Their brushes are ultra-plush and synthetic bristles, the most important is it is very very soft in skin. 

The brushes are: 
1.  Detailer Brush - good for concealer to make more define and long-lasting shape. 

2. Pointed foundation Brush -  good for liquid foundation to create great coverage. 

3. Buffing Brush - good for application of powder and mineral foundation
          
4. Contour Brush - with a little pointed brush it is great to contour and create more focus finish. 
                                          

Pro-s:
1. The brushes are all SUPER SOFT, synthetic bristles and its hand-cut :>
2. I like the handle, its size is perfect to grip and to move around, plus the color is cute  ( thinking to get their pinkie brush). Oh ya, it is also very light. 
3. Most love its Buffing Brush because its gives the perfect coverage of the powder and its gives even finish. 
4. It is Cheap, I think I got mine like 16-18 SGD (after convert it from USD)
5. The bristles are quite full, so it catches all the necessary foundation or powder. 

Con-s:
1. The black part of the handle gets dirty quickly, i think because of the rubber material they use. but still ok.
2. Unable to find it at stores in Asia :(

So what is your fave brushes, ladies??
