Personal Thoughts and Swatches: Limited Edition Eye Love You Eye Set

Hello fellow Beauty fanatics today i'll be sharing my thoughts and swatches of my recently purchased Makeup Palette from Tarte Cosmetics. Before i start here's a little info about the company, Tarte Cosmetics was founded by Maureen Kelly in 1999 for the sole purpose of creating a cosmetics line without using unhealthy ingredients such as Parabens, Triclosan and other harmful ingredients w/c other cosmetic company use. Tarte is also a cruelty company (which is a big thing to me) meaning they don't tests on animals at the same time they use eco friendly ingredients w/c is beneficial to our environment and good to our skin, you can read more about the company's facts and background HERE.

This was a Limited Edition Set that they released during their 2015 Mother's Day Collection, but i think they restocked it this year i'm not sure but anyway i got mine from a legit online seller where i order and buy some of my beauty products you can check here online shop Here .  I bought this set for 1,350.00 Php and it comes with 16  mattes and shimmers shades and a deluxe size mascara. 

The size of the Palette is 11 cm in length, 11.5 cm in width and about 1cm thick. Each eyeshadow pans contains 0.7 grams or 0.024 oz of product.  The packaging is made of hard cardboard with magnetic closing. It has a good size mirror which is a plus if your going to take it with you when you go out or when traveling.

 The mascara contains 4ml of product and it has a very nice packaging, unlike an ordinary mascara that has a plastic tube, this one is wrap around with an animal textured plastic layer w/c gives the product a fabulous finish.

There are  11 matte shades and 5 shimmer shades, what i love about this palette is it's colors are very neutral so it's perfect for all skin types. It will go well to people with very light skin color and at the same time the colors will look as good to people with dark skin tone. The only thing that i don't like about this palette is the names of the shades is on the plastic cover so if ever you decide to throw it away or lost it you won't be able to know the name of the shades unless you memorize it.

Now for the fun part, here are the swatches of the shades from left to right order of the palette.

top to bottom: I'm your Pear - shimmer , Two ro Tan-go - matte, Melted Chocolate - matte, Rich Mahogany - matte.

Top to bottom: Sand by me- shimmer, The first Mauve - matte, Beauty and Bronze - shimmer, Malberry nice - shimmer

Top to bottom: Peach of mind - matte, Champagne & strawberries - shimmer, Coffee date - matte, Hazlenut souffle - matte

Top to Bottom: Pinky Promise - matte, Floral Bouquet-matte, Violet it be - matte , Plum Together - matte

Another thing that i like about this palette is how Tarte arranged the orders of the shades, if you're a newbie with makeup and don't know or confuse on what colors go together you can simply use it by horizontal row, if you notice each row has a light and dark, shades that you can use to create a full look, each row has it's transition shade, a pop of color that you can use to highlight either the inner corner of your eyes or the center of you lids, it also has the darker shades w/c you can use on outer corner of your lids to create a dimension and dramatic look. 

here are two different looks that i was able to create from this palette:

i use the shades: Pinkie promise as a base, The first mauve as a transition shade, Coffee date on my outer half lids, rich mahogany on my outermost corner, and i'm your pearl to my inner corner. mascara:is the tarte camera lights mascara, lipstick is from ofra long lasting liquid lipstick in the shade Coven.

shades used: Pinkie Promise as my base, Tan to go as my transition shade, hazelnut souffle on my outer corner and sand by me on my center lid going to inner corner.

Overall i love this Palette, it's very pigmented and long lasting as expected with every Tarte products. The mascara is amazing, it gives your lashes volume perfect for those who hates wearing falsies( like me). 

Is it worth? personally yes, i'm very happy with this purchase i use it often and the pigments are amazing that you only need a little product to get a dramatic look so i doubt if you hit pan. However if you own neutral shade palettes and earth tone eye shadows you can skip this because the shades on this are typical earthy brown tones except for the bottom row w/c is more towards the purple tones, but if your like me who love to collect makeups i definitely recommend this. 

That's it for my personal thoughts regarding this palette, hope this helps.. thanks for dropping by...

First Impression and Color Swatches : Zoeva Blanc Fusion Palette

Hello again loves!! i know i haven't written anything for the month of April i was planning to give a review on some new skin care that i'm trying out (i bought only skin care products and tools last month) , however i do think that in order for me to give a good thoughts on skin care products i should use it for few months, i mean skin care effects are not over night so that will be coming up next month for the mean time i bought a new palette so i thought i will be sharing to you my thoughts about this product.

On this Blog i'll be sharing to you my personal thoughts and color swatches on the Zoeva Blanc Fusion Palette. I got this in Sephora Ph during their Beauty Pass Exclusive Sale 15% - 20% off store wide sale last May 4,2017. The original price of this Palette was 1,464.00 Php and i got 15% off so i only paid 1,245.00 Php.

Here is a little info about the product on the Sephora's website, so it says that ZOEVA Blanc Fusion Eyeshadow Palette unwraps a decadent repertoire of luxurious white chocolate hues, infused by milky Dulce de leche nuances and roasted almond shades, topped off with a shimmering tinge of golden honey. With their richly pigmented, velvety smooth formula, the matte and shimmering eyeshadows unfold gracefully on the finish, creating blissfully elegant makeup looks. Finishes on this Palette are Matte, Satin, Metallic, and Pearl.The formulation of the eyeshadows is enriched with vitamin E and is 100% free of parabens, mineral oils, perfume and phthalates.

( This Palette has 5 Shimmer shades and 5 Matte Shades)

I was originally going to buy the Caramel Melange Palette but it was sold out so i thought i would give this Blanc Fusion Palette a try because i'm quite intrigue with it's yellow based colors. So without further a due Here are the Swatches of the color on this palette.

From Bottom to Top: Shade Noble, Single Origin, Visions of Gold, Late Bloomer and Sweetness Lingers

From Bottom To top: Shades Travel Inspired, Joy in a Box, Cronched, Question of Taste and Last Bite.

As you can see from the swatches all the shimmer Shades has a Gold Reflects while the matte shades has a yellow undertone.  The quality of this palette is very good, although there are a small fall out with the Mattes, but all the shades are very pigmented and creamy also this palette has no scent. 

The Size of the palette is 7 1/2 inches in length and 3 1/2 inches in width, the thickness is about 1cm w/c is pretty thin so it's not bulky. The packaging is made of Hard paper, has a magnetic closure and a paper sleeve to keep the palette from opening so i suggest to secure it when you travel with this palette because it could easily break. I love the Geometric design with the reflective gold color it looks really sleek.

Final thought: Personally for the quality of the palette i would give it 5 over 5 stars because it has a very good formulation for it's price, but the colors ... well i'm not really drawn into them i would probably love the colors on the Caramel Melange Palette but that's just my personal preference with the shades, if your into yellow undertones and yellow shades then you would probably love this palette, but if your like me that loves browns and red undertones then this palette is not for you.

So that's it for my 1st impression and swatches on the Zoeva Blanc Fusion Palette, hope this blog helps. Thanks for dropping by!! :)
