28 Colors Neutral Nude Eyeshadow Palette by Fräulein3°8 ~ Review + Swatches

Image
Im a big Sucker when it comes to Nude Makeup! I've heard so much that the 28 Nude Palettes are similar to MAC eyeshadows..is that really true? Keep on reading to find out :) What they Say? This 28 nude eye shadow palette with defining colors comes with an assortment of neutral tones in shimmer and matte effect.  28 colours includes 16 matte and 12 shimmer. Can be used as eyeshadow, bronzes, blush, eyeliners, and shimmer highlighters.  Comes in an elegant case. Suitable for party or daily use.  The Fräulein3°8 Nuetral Nude Palette comes in a matte packaging..The other 88 palettes i have from BH cosmetics [review here] came in a glossy finish..i actually prefer a matte one over glossy, i end up cleaning the glossy palette everytime i use it because of all the finger prints marks! This palette on the other hand doesn't come with a mirror..Thats not an issue for me because i rarely use the mirror of my palettes..Coming onto the range of colors now; there is a mixture of shim...

Pro Dip Eyeliner by Color Studio Pro ~ Review + Swatches

Image
Color Studio Pro has recently launched their eyeliners, lets talk about the Pro Dip Eyeliner today! What they Say? 100% Waterproof Pro Dip Eyeliner Available in two colors; Jet Black and Black Pearl (ahem..i cant find any other information than this :P) ShyCheeeks Experience Its a fairly sized product, comes with an easy-to-use applicator, the brush tip is almost like a marker tip..its stiff and pointed in the end for a nice and precise line! This one is Black Pearl..if you see the swatch closely, it has a very fine shimmer added in it which isn't bothersome at all The finish it gives is surely pearly black, the application is easy and creates a nice precise wing! The thing about this applicator is you can create thin precise lines but if you apply more pressure or touch the side of the brush on your eyelid, the line will be thick..check the swatches below It is an opaque Black color, the formula doesn't dry quickly..It takes a minute or two to set completely, but once its set...
