Beauty Rust

Review: Coloured Raine Beauty Rust

09:36:00


I got the Beauty Rust palette somewhere in December. It's a limited edition as well as other 3 mini palettes. They're 2 still available on Beauty Bay as far as I know. I mainly got it because of the mustard shade Daisy. Yes, I know, that's a stupid reason to buy a whole palette. But after all, I have nothing similar in my collection to these shades. And it's basically another warm toned palette on the market. 


Packaging is cardboard with a  lovely flower design. Inside it has a small mirror. 


Each shade has 1.5g of product, so in total 9g. It costs 33.50€ on Beauty Bay.


The palette contains 5 matte and 1 foil shades. However the formula between mattes isn't the same. The star between the mattes is Daisy, yet it's not a formula that everybody would like. It's comparable to mattes in Subculture palette, but even better. So that means a lot of kick back, soft to the touch, great pigmentation and blends with and ease. Other mattes are stiffer to the touch and don't have so much kick back, but they maintain that blendability. I didn't notice any fall out under my eyes with any of the shades, except with foiled Dream, but that can be fixed by applying it wet. 


NATURAL - matte warm brown with some yellow undertones. Good pigmentation and blends well. 
DREAM - foiled orange copper with specks of gold. It applies well with brush, fingers or wet. 
NIGHTY NIGHT - matte neutral brown. Good pigmentation and blends well. 
DAISY - matte mustard. The star of this palette. It has a different formula than other mattes. The formula is similar to ABH Subculture, just a bit better. Has a great pigmentation, a lot of kick back and blends with such an ease. I wish all the mattes in this palette would perform like Daisy. 
RECHARGE - brick matte red. Good pigmentation and blends well. 
DUSK - dark plumy brown. It translates lighter on eye lids. The biggest disappointment in this palette. Feels dry to the touch and needs a lot of layering to look decent. 


Nighty Night, Recharge and Dusk crease on my lids and the color loses its intensity after 3 or 4 hours.

Natural, Recharge, Dusk and Dream.
This palette might work better for someone with eyelids that aren't oily or hooded. But for me it's not worth the full price, so I'm glad that I got it on discount. The only two shades that stand out to me are Dream and Daisy. And I can make Natural work on me, but I have to use glitter glue, otherwise it will crease. But the other three shades are useless for me. So I can't recommend this palette. And it's such a shame, since the color story is so pretty.


Did you tried anything from Coloured Raine? Or do you have something on WL from them? I'm still tempted to buy the Queen of Hearts palette.

Review: NYX Micro Brow Pencil Black

08:38:00

For my black brows it's almost mission impossible to find decent brow product in our drugstores. And if I find it, I usually don't like the formula. However I didn't get this in our drugstores, but it's pretty easy to buy it online and it's not that expensive.


The packaging is black with white writing on it. On one side is twist up pencil and on the other is spoolie, which is well made and soft.



It contains 0.09 g of a product and cost around 10€. Price tag differs on where you buy it (Moja drogerijaFeeluniqueCult beauty).



The texture is just right, not creamy or too stiff. Without pressure you get the pigmentation for the natural brows. The pencil is slim enough so you can be precise with it and draw single hair strokes. On me it lasted the whole day, without fading or smudging.




I think it's worth the price and checking out. The pigmentation is just right for everyday look, it's precise, the longevity is good and they offer good shade selection. The only minus is that you don't get a ton of product and if you use it on a daily basis, you'll use it up quickly. 

And what do you prefer using on brows? Pencil, powder or pomade?

Freedom

Review: Freedom Pro Decadence Rock & Roll Palette

04:15:00

Freedom is a sister brand of Makeup Revolution, but I'm sure everybody knows this by now. While no Makeup Revolution palette shook the ground under my feet, this one definitely did and it deserves its own post. For such a low price these shadows perform really good. There are a few shadows in the palette that don't perform as good as other, but for such a low price that's not a big deal, atleast for me.



The packaging is a standard shiny black case, which screams after finger prints all over. It has a mirror inside, which is a big plus for me. It comes with double sided sponge aplicator, which is useless.

It contains 18g of product and you can get it for 10,95€ on ličila.si or their official website.

The color scheme in this palette screams my name, since I like doing colorful eye makeup and neutral colors seem mostly dull. Most of the time, I use this palette in combination with other more neutral palettes, due to lack of matte shades.

Palette offers shimmery, satin, matte, duochrome and matte with small chunks of glitter eyeshadows. Eyeshadows feel soft and buttery and they have good pigmentation with some exceptions. Mattes are easy to blend, while shimmer shades tend to crease on my lids, since they're even more buttery than matte and feel almost like a cream.



1 - shimmery light champagne. This one doesn't have wet like texture and it's slightly less pigmented in comparison with other shimmer shades.
2 - shimmery light cool brown. Feels like a cream and has good pigmentation.
3 - satin brown. Good pigmentation.
4 -  warm gold shimmer. Cream like texture and good pigmentation.
5 - warm bronzy brown shimmer. Cream like texture and good pigmentation.
6 - brown with gold  glitter. The biggest disappointment in this palette. It has drier texture, poor pigmentation and has a ton of fall out.
7 - matte grey mauvey color. This one is slightly less pigmented.
8 - plumy matte. Good pigmentation.
9 - matte black. Decent pigmentation for a drugstore black eyeshadow. It has the driest texture among other matte shades.
10 - matte black with silver glitter. Slightly less pigmented than previous black shade.



11 - burgundy matte with small glitter. Good pigmentation and blendibility.
12 - brown shimmer with reddish sheen. It has drier texture although it's nicely pigmented.
13 - burgundy matte with gold glitter. Swatches patchy and has drier texture. Altough I didn't have problems while applying it with a brush and blending it out. It's quite similar to shade 11, just that it leans more on the brown side.
14 - lilac matte. Very poor pigmentation.
15 - dark greyish lilac satin. Less pigmented.
16 - violet satin. Good pigmentation.
17 - duochrome blue with violet base. This one is by  far my favorite. It's more on the sheer side, but it can be nicely build up over a black base.
18 - blue matte with silver glitter. Good pigmentation.
19 - green shimmer. Good pigmentation.
20 - forest green shimmer. Good pigmentation and drier texture than other shimmer shades.






I personally don't like that there are two blacks in the palette, one would be enough. The pigmentation and texture isn't consistant, but in general they're good. They don't fade through out the day (but none of them fade on me, so keep that in mind) and creamier shimmers tend to crease on me after few hours. Overall I think this palette is worth the money, even though it has a few duds. If you're looking for affordable and good colorful eyeshadow palette, look no further.

Some looks I did, using this palette.
