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:

Review: Marc Jacob's Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation

Deng Deng Deng! I placed an order through Sephora.ca about a month ago, as I was very interested in trying Marc Jacob's new makeup line. I pretty much made the order when the line was first launched, so I had no idea which will be hits or misses.  The one product I wanted to try out was the powder foundation - Let's talk about the packaging... Like every other reviewers, Marc Jacob definitely did a great job in designing his products.  He differentiated his products by rounding the 4 edges on the side, while keeping the traditional black sleek case trend.  He also got a little silver push button at the side, which adds a little bit of classiness to the look.  Once the compact is opened, you can see a huge mirror on the lid, and because of this, the weight of the foundation is relatively heavier compared to other compact foundations. Now on to the product - The color I got is 300 Beige (I am normally a shade 30 in Dior/Chanel foundations), which is

ANASTASIA - Lavish Eye Shadow Palette (swatches)

This eye-shadow palette is awesome! It comes with 10 different shades that are mostly warm toned.   I love the staying power of these eye shadows (especially the darker ones).     The palette also comes with  - Dual ended eye shadow brush    (meh) - Twist-up Waterproof eye liner (I love this eyeliner! It's pigmented and last all day. The only problem I have with this is that I see tiny smudges around the lower lash line after a day of wear) - Brow pencil  (hint of brown, but color does not last all day) - Brow tweezers The lighter ones (cream/ballet/orange soda) are very sheer, but the darker colors are very pigmented.

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 you wear for a while.
