Viseart Eye Shadow Palette - Worth the Hype?

VISEART Eyeshadow Palette - 04 Dark Mattes


Available on Sephora Online, retailed at $100CAD + tax

Finish: Matte

 Consistency: dry texture, not creamy, but offers good amount of pigmentation 

 Longevity: > 10 hours

 Tone: neutral; warm undertone







 To start off, this is definitely the most expensive single makeup item in my collection. This palette retails at $100CAD, which includes 12 matte; dark warm tone shades. 

 The top 2 rows are my most used eye shadows, my most favourite ones include the brown, burgundy and plum colours. 

 The two lighter and darker brown shades are excellent for blending or use it as transition colours.

Typically, I like to use these shadows as a base, and then apply any shimmery shadows on the ball of the eye lids ; then blend out the rest of the eye look with the darker shadows as desired. 

 Overall, this palette is very versatile and you can definitely create different looks with it. 

 But the moment of truth...Is this palette worth the $100 price tag? 
Personally, I don't think this is a must have palette. I still think that there are other palettes in the market that offer the same quality of pigmentation yet more cost effective. Too Faced, Anastasia and Urban Decay all make excellent eye shadows, just to name a few brands. 

Lets have a closer look at these shadows:

Pandora Haul!!!

If you haven't heard of the Pandora 2013 March promotion, then start researching on it! The promotion for this Spring season is to spend over $150CAD and receive a free silver bracelet (value $75). To be completely honest, I was never really a fan of Pandora bracelets. I have always thought their design are dupe-able, same silver quality as any that you can find at a typical jewellery boutique.  But sometimes, peer pressure get to you...(this sounds like an excuse LOL). And the only reason why I caved in to the bandwagon is that I want to own a bracelet, that I can collect special charms that can reflect some memorable time in my life.  Or something that I can find special/relevant to me. One thing people need to keep in mind is that, the pictures in the Pandora website is a bit misleading. The photos of each charms look much bigger and shinier, but in real life, they are much smaller. Another thing to remember is that, the silver do oxidize after y...

Kiehls - Midnight Recovery Concentrate

This product had so much hype when it was first released, and many people seem to enjoy it tremendously.  I have used up 2 bottles of this concentrate, so I wanted to record down my thoughts on it. Maybe it'll help me to refresh my memories later down the road.   Kiehls claims that this product is able to "   restores skin’s healthy appearance overnight, resulting in smoother, more radiant complexion by morning ". I too, agreed that the oil performs an outstanding job at providing moisturization and radiance to the skin without being too oily. Texture - Oil Function - Smooths out skin and pores, while providing radiant glow to the skin Smell - Subtle and soft (the lavender scent is supposed to make you fall asleep easier, but this never worked on me) Price - $48 from Kiehls stores You are suppose to use this concentrate after applying toner and before putting on moisturizer.  Warm up the product between the palm and gently press it on the fa...
