NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Champagne and Caviar

NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Champagne and Caviar

One swipe swatches

10 eyeshadows - mixed of shimmer and matte - comes with a huge clear mirror and a mini dual sponge applicator. Not bad for Php500.00

After several uses, this is what it looks like now.

Can you guess which are my favorite everyday colors? :P

Very minimal fallouts. I also drop this a couple of times before but good thing the shadows are still intact and the mirror not broken. I threw the applicator away lol and just use my favorite large fashion21 eyeshadow brush for this. Pigmented and not powdery. It don't melt on my lids even without primer and is easy to remove.

I love love love this NYX palette, ain't it obvious?

Nichido Eyebrow Liner Duo Kit

This is my second try of an eyebrow palette. My first try was 4U2 Eyebrow Palette that I will be posting soon. :P And if you are asking me why? Well, maybe because, I prefer using this palette instead of the former. :)

I love the sleek packaging! <3

Here is what it looks like...

it's totally girly! :P

This duo kit contains two shades in the colors coffee brown and black. Best for Filipina eyebrows. :)

This is a huge pan containing a lot of products! I bet this will last me a year or so. :)

This can also be applied as an eyeliner. Apply it dry for a natural look or wet the brush for a more dramatic eyebrows. :)

This palette also contains 1 tiny little eyebrow brush and a mini little tweezer that I don't use. :3

For Php240.00 this is oh so worth it. :) Here are the swatches!

Like I said, I prefer this frm my 4U2 eyebrow palette but I'm not closing my doors for other eyebrow products like brow gels and the oldie-but-goodie brow pencils.

ELIZABETH: DIY Lip Palette

Hey everyone! How's your Wednesdays? Mine is so-so. I woke up late and rushed to get my morning routine done! Yay for me! cause I've done my things to do just after my 12 pm strucked. 

Meaning, I have time to blog! And now I will be showing you how I carry all my lipstick without hassle!

How I came up to this is because whenever I travel or go out, I encounter the same problem; how to fit all my lipsticks in my small purse.You can buy a ready made lip palette but I decided to create my own so that I could carry my all time favorites! I could choose the colors from nude to reds and lastly I could recycle and help mother nature. Another yay for me! Hahaha! :D Lets get started! 

We'll be needing an empty compact face powder,or if you have any eye shadow palette, you can also use that..But for me,I will be using an empty compact face powder from Avon. 

We also need some tissue, spoon, candle, pusher and a lighter or a match. 

And of course our lipsticks..

One of my favorite lipstick here is from Avon which is Amour Rose. I lost the cap during our driving lesson with my sis! So, as you can see the middle lipstick doesn't have a cap on it. 

First step is to scrape all the lipstick using the pusher and put it on the spoon...

TIP: If you wanna used up all of the product left inside the tube, use a lip brush to scrape it off.

Allow your lipstick to melt slowly, you can also stir it using the pusher..

You can now pour it to your empty compact face powder.. If you are planning to put several lip color, be careful not to stain the entire pan and slowly pour to avoid burnt fingers.

Just repeat all the steps until you are finished..

you could use your nail pusher or a toothpick to align the edges of your palette.

(Check out my nail tutorial here!)

Like I said, making your own lip palette is easy, cheaper, saves space, you could customize the colors, the amount of product you will put, the design and lastly you could put in an empty compact powder, or empty gel liner tube. :)

It's exciting to make too! Just be careful not to burn your fingers or your house! For that matter... If you know you can't do it alone, ask help of your parents or guardian for extra safety! :) Or maybe do it outside the house. :P You know.

Are you liking DIYs? I will be sharing another DIY soon! So stay tuned!

If you did try this, share your DIY lip palette on our facebook page and tag us!

live, love, laugh,

Beth :)

NYX Catwalk Eyeshadow Palette Reviews + Giveaway!

Reviews from MakeupAlley.com:

another lovely palette of nyx. natural colors in warm tones, both for day and night. pearly and matte shades together. lasting power is great, which matters a lot to me because i have oily lids.

It works great with nyx eyeshadow base or Mary Kay eye primer. I specially love the pink, it's perfect to get that natural look. I wish I could find that color on the singles.
I would buy this again just for the pink and the other delicious highlight colors!

My Sigma Beauty Wishlist

Sigma Beauty is one of my favorite online shop for make up products! One of my all time favorite is my flat top synthetic kabuki f80, and now I'm contemplating what to buy and I end up making a simple wishlist! Simple because I'm not a professional make up artist hence, what's on my list would be the things that I think I'll fully use personally.

Here's my wishlist!

Bare Palette - $35.00

The Bare Eye Shadow Palette includes eight eye shadow shades represented by neutral and wearable tones such as taupe, brown, bronze and black, perfect to create both classic and everyday neutral looks. Use this palette to highlight inner corners of the eyes, emphasize the crease, enhance the brow bone and define the lash line. Contains matte, satin and shimmer formulations.    Includes a dual-ended brush:   E30 - Pencil: Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of eyes. E25 - Blending: Blend colors together onto the lid with added control. Buff out harsh lines for a well blended effect. (from SigmaBeauty.com)

SigmaBeauty actually offers three palettes, the other two are the Dare and Flare palettes, but I decided to get the  Bare palette because it closely resembles Urban Decay's Naked palette. Plus, I love the fact that it includes a dual ended brush! :D But, if you already have the Naked palette I suggest you invest first on the other two Sigma Beauty palettes.

Individual Brush: Eye Shading E55 - $9.00

Unique Feature: Soft and dense bristles Function: Even application of color Recommended Use: Place color across the entire lid for an even and strong application of product. (from SigmaBeauty.com)

I think I need to invest more on these kinds of brushes, since this is an eyeshadow applicator, hence in times when I can't wash my other brushes, I would still have a clean one to use in case I'm in a rush, you know the drill. :P

Kabuki Kit - $56.00

The Synthetic Kabuki Kit contains four face brushes that allow a high definition, flawless makeup application. The brushes in this kit feature exclusive Sigmax fibers, uniquely designed to apply powder, cream and liquid products without absorption into the bristles. Brushes Included: F80 - Flat Kabuki: Application of liquid or cream products to flat areas of the face such as the forehead and cheeks. F82 - Round Kabuki: Blend mineral products onto the skin. F84 - Angled Kabuki: Buff cream blush or bronzer onto the skin. F86 - Tapered Kabuki: Apply cream and liquid foundations onto the harder to reach contours of the face. (from SigmaBeauty.com)

I'm a sucker for kabuki! I love how soft my flat top synthetic kabuki f80 is so I think this is one is an exception, it's a splurge!

Face Kit - $57.00

The Face Kit contains five professional quality brushes for the face. Perfect to apply liquid, cream and powder formulas, this kit is ideal for all over face makeup application. Brushes Included: F30 - Large Powder: Even powder application. Uniform blending of powder products onto the face and body. F40 - Large Angled Contour: Subtle cheek application. Use the angle to softly contour the cheekbone. Can also be used to apply blush. F50 - Duo Fibre: Creates an airbrush effect onto the skin. Can be used with powder, liquid or cream products. F60 - Foundation: Smooth foundation application. Apply liquid or cream products such as foundation and primer. F70 - Concealer: Conceal small areas. Conceal the hardest to reach areas such as around the nose and eyes. (from SigmaBeauty.com)

These are the basic brushes, a newbie should have. :) So if ever I decided to go buy one at a time, after budgeting and saving, I might buy this Face Kit first.

What I love about Sigma Beauty products is that their more affordable and the quality is good. :) Plus, customers would get a Free Gift for purchases $30 or more! :D
