REVIEW & SWATCHES OF ANASTASIA MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE :-

As soon as the cold breeze of the early morning started, we all know that the winter is here....and when it's winter it's all about FALL MAKEUP. And when it's about Fall Makeup, we lean towards mostly bold colors.


Although today's review is all about a versatile palette which is created by the brand for every person so that they can create every look in every season. But as it is a time for fall, so I think this palette is the just perfect palette for fall...yes, I am talking about ANASTASIA MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE.

PRICE:- $42 + Shipping.

Availability:- Anastasia Beverly hills website here. or you can find them on Beautybay.com, or you can grab them from Instagram sellers .

A little info about the palette (from the website):-

An essential eye shadow collection featuring 14 shades, including neutral and berry tones. Use Anastasia Beverly Hills first permanent palette, Modern Renaissance to create endless looks for daytime and evening.

• Highly pigmented, easy-to-blend formula.
• 11 matte shades; 3 metallic.
• Dual-sided soft bristle brush.

SHADES DESCRIPTION:
 

• Tempera - Velvety beige with an ultra-matte finish
• Golden Ochre - Earthy yellow with an ultra-matte finish
• Vermeer - Iridescent shell with a metallic finish
• Buon Fresco - Antique lavender with an ultra-matte finish
• Antique Bronze - Metallic sable with a satin finish
• Love Letter- Raspberry with an ultra-matte finish
• Cyprus Umber- Dark coffee with an ultra-matte finish

• Red Ochre- Sienna with an ultra-matte finish
• Primavera- shimmery gold dust with a metallic finish
• Burnt Orange- deep orange with an ultra-matte finish
• Raw Sienna- neutral amber with an ultra-matte finish

Packaging:-

The palette comes in a beautiful lavender color cardboard box. The box and the palette are of same lavender color with the name of the palette emboss on it in white.The outer cover of the palette has a velvety finish.

The palette consists of 14 beautiful shades. The box of the palette is sturdy one and it closes with a magnetic closure. It comes with a mirror and a dual ended brush. The dual ended brush has one side eye shadow brush whereas another side is the blending brush. The bristles of the blending brush are little scratchy and it picks a lot of product whereas the eye shadow brush is less harsh on skin and easy to use. The brush is actually perfect for touch up only.

My experience:- 

I grab the palette from BeautyBay.com long back, when the palette was just launched. As I shopped a lot at that time so I missed out this palette. Recently while cleaning my stash I found out this palette remain untouched from ages. So, I had to take it out for testing ;)

The palette consists of 14 beautiful mixed shades of neutrals and berry shades. The palette is perfect for daytime and evening look. All the shades are super pigmented even the matte shades too.  Even without primer, the eyeshadows are super pigmented one. The texture of the eyeshadows is so soft that they blend easily. But few eyeshadows have minimal fallout which is ok because the shades are super pigmented as I told you earlier. The most amazing part of this palette is that all the neutral shades are equally pigmented like the dark shades.

The staying power of the eyeshadows is worth mentioning. They stay pretty 7 hours plus without any primer on my oily lids. After 7 hours there is slight fading and smudging of shades during summer on my oily lids but that can be fixed with a primer and a setting spray.

Drawback:-

The palette is bit costly when it comes to ordering it from the website as they have shipping plus customs. So in India, grabbing this palette is a bit problem. So, if you want to grab this palette hassle free then Instagram sellers are the good options for you.

Secondly, all the shades are pretty dupeable one in the palette so if you can't grab it you can look for the dupes but I admit that the quality of the palette is something that is worth mentioning.


Overall ANASTASIA MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE is one of the best palettes that is created by the brand. And the palette is permanent one so anybody can grab it anytime. The palette is a versatile palette full of neutrals and berry shades for everyone to create every kind of look for every season. I am amazed by the pigmentation of the eyeshadows in the palette and I think this palette is a must-have palette in your stash if you are an eyeshadow lover like me.

That's all for today, I am leaving you here with loads of pictures of the palette followed by an EOTD  created by the palette only. 

Hope you like today's post and I will see you soon with some other post until next time stay bless :)

REVIEW AND SWATCHES OF MAC LIPSTICK ABLAZE

"Lipsticks are my tiny bundles of joy, anytime a new lipstick added in my stash pour a glass of happiness in my soul...no matter how many lipsticks I bought till now but I will never say "NO" to the new one..."

 

A bright apricot cream matte lipstick (that's how mac describes this shade) is the talk of the post today.


Mac ABLAZE  lipstick was re-prompted by Mac in their BLUE NECTAR COLLECTION in JUNE 2016(seriously, I forgot the collection name , so had to ask my friend again :P ). There was 11 shades of lipstick that launched in this collection, in which I decided to pick only this one as most of the other shades are pretty dupeable whereas MAC ABLAZE was a unique and hottest selling shade among all.

Few words from MAC  about the lipstick:-
 
A lipstick with hundreds of hues. The iconic product that made M·A·C famous.

Full Description:
 
Formulated to shade, define and showcase the lips. Hundreds of hues, high-fashion textures. The iconic product that made M·A·C famous.

Price:- $17 for 3g.

Availability:- It was limited edition one in the collection but it is still available in www.maccosmetics.com (check here)

Packaging:- 
 
Although the lipstick is from a limited edition collection but it comes in a regular black case lipstick packaging of Mac cosmetics. The vanilla scent of the lipstick is the signature one.

My experience:-
 
MAC lipstick  ABLAZE  is a beautiful matte coral red lipstick. It has a very light sheen in the lipstick, so you can say it is not that typical mac matte lipstick. The texture of the lipstick is like Mac satin lipsticks as it glides smoothly on lips without any tugging or pulling. With gradual time the lipstick turns into a comfortable matte on lips which is not that much drying like the retro one.

The lipstick looks quite neon and bold on the tube but once it applied you can see it is not neon but a very nice coral shade that are perfect for fair to medium skin tone beauties mostly. It is medium pigmented that need two swipes to get an opaque coverage. The lipstick doesn't smudge if applied without a lipliner. It stays pretty 6 hours plus on my lips and leaves a light reddish stain on my lips. The lipstick fades unevenly after a heavy meal or oily foods from the middle part of the lips so reapplication of lipstick is suggested.

Mac lipsticks are the best lipsticks till now for me as I am a big fan of this brand. But still, sometimes this brand disappoint me and sometimes it amazed me. So, when it's about MAC ABLAZE  lipstick, I am amazed at the shade, pigmentation and texture. I love the way the lipstick brighten up my entire face. I love the unusual coral -red color that just added to my stash apart from usual pinks and reds. Overall I am in love with the shade.

DUPE LIST:-

Here is the picture of closest dupe of MAC ABLAZE LIPSTICK that include COLORPOP ULTRA SATIN LIPS IN 'NAKED LADIES' and  JEFREE STAR LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'WATERMELON SODA'.

Here is the look that I create where I used URBAN DECAY SMOKY PALETTE (reviewed here) for eyes and for lips MAC LIPSTICK ABLAZE. This look is just perfect for this FESTIVE/HOLIDAY season ;)

Did you like the shade? what's your favorite brand of lipstick?

That's all for today and I will see you soon in my next post :)

REVIEW AND SWATCHES OF KIKO MILANO SUPER COLOR EYELINER IN SHADE 100

Hey friends, 

Today I am back with my another review from the brand KIKO MILANO. You must be wondering that why I am posting one after another review over KIKO MILANO  stuff only, it is just because once am done with review of everything, I can grab few more stuff again from KIKO. I just love the brand.

Anyway, moving to today's review, along with KIKO MILANO SMART EYE PENCILS (READ THE REVIEW HERE), KIKO MILANO WATER EYE SHADOW (READ THE REVIEW HERE) & KIKO MILANO VELVET MAT LIPSTICK (READ THE REVIEW HERE) I picked up one KIKO MILANO SUPER COLOR EYE LINER in shade 100.

Price:- Rs.800/- for 1.7ml.

Availability :- KIKO MILANO STORE IN DLF MALL OF INDIA.


Packaging:-
 
KIKO MILANO SUPER COLOR EYE LINER comes in a sturdy plastic packaging. It is usual regular packaging of liquid liners. The brush tip of the eyeliner is just perfect for the precision tip. 


My experience:-

KIKO MILANO SUPER COLOR EYE LINER in shade 100 is a beautiful silver color eyeliner. They have the huge range of shades in color eyeliners but I particularly pick this one as it look little unique and it is something that I never tried before. The eyeliner brush is really good and perfect for precision application. The eyeliner is semi-transparent with silver particles on it, so when you apply it on your bare eyelids it gives a very nice, gorgeous and shimmery look of your eye. The eyeliner can be used on top of any other shade to add that subtle glitter on your look or can be use barely on your lid and on the lower lash line. It dries out within few seconds of application thus no smudging and no waiting to let it dry. I used the eyeliner on my lower lash line (see the FOTD below) and it doesn't irritate my eyes at all. Again removing of this eyeliner is also easy with oil based makeup remover.

The eyeliner stays pretty intact as long as you want. Yes, it doesn't smudge or fade even after 6 hours of wearing in the hot and humid weather of Delhi.

I although feel the price is bit high compared to the quantity we get but again we can happily shred our money on it as it an Italian brand and still it comes quite cheap comparing those drugstore brand( I know it is a silly excuse...but who need any excuse? I love it so I bought it).

Over in all, I love KIKO MILANO SUPER COLOR EYE LINER, although I found they have few dupable colors but few are must try unusual color which I am planning to grab on my next visit to the store.

 FOTD:-

TWO LOOKS CREATED WITH THIS EYELINER:

• LOOK ONE: A SIMPLE NEUTRAL EYES WITH TINT OF SHIMMER ON LOWER LASH LINE.
• LOOK TWO: SMOKEY EYES WITH BLING ON UPPER EYELIDS ;)

LOOK ONE

LOOK TWO

"A little bit of creativity can make a huge difference in your makeup...I never thought while buying the eyeliner that it will work like a magic wand in my makeup looks...it always add a bling on my eyes.I love it."

That's all for today, I will see you soon on my next post :)
