Pressed Pigments

(L to R: 1st row: PAC pigment in Electric Purple, PAC pigment in Netto

2nd row: MAC Pigment in Vintage Gold, MAC Pigment in Heritage Rouge)

I pressed some pigments last night and here's what it looks like! Gotta comment that the pigmentation remained the same..there was no color alterations or nothing that I know of...I'll be pressing some more pigments so I could use 'em more..but I'll be leaving part of the pigments as it is since I think it's a little more fun playing around with powdered shadows/pigments... BTW I didn't made this for myself, more about that later...

Collective Haul w/ Swatches and Mini Reviews

I went to the mall the other day and here's all the makeup products I bought...

I bought 3 new mascaras: CG Lash Blast, Maybelline XXL Mascara, CG Las Blast Waterproof... I heard good reviews with these mascaras so why not try them out...anyways I'm looking for an alternative to my DiorShow...It's getting expensive chucking away DiorShows for several months and buy new ones...I haven't tried any of the three yet...I'll do reviews when I've tried 'em...

I also bought 4 ELF empty compacts/palettes, where I could press my pigments...

Since I'm running out of my trusty old pal, L'Oreal Eyes and Lips MakeUp Remover, I bought Maybelline MakeUp Remover just to try how good it is compared to L'Oreal...

I bought some stuff from PAC... Eyebrow Kit, haven't tried this yet but will review this once tested...Pigments in Electric Purple (Vibrant deep purple) and Neto (Bright Mid-tone Blue)...it's really pigmented and the texture is finer than MAC Pigments...It's a bit expensive than MAC too, but PAC has a lot of colors to choose from; so if you didn't find a color that you want from MAC, check the PAC Pigments....It was swatched without a base above...

From SkinFood: Bought 2 Aloe BB Cream (One is available for a swap...just contact me) I like this one for its coverage but haven't tested this out for its oil control...I'll keep you updated...Next, is the All Over Muffin Cake Finish in Strawberry Honey Muffin(Raspberry pink with rosy pink and cream veinings and gold pearl finish) ...this one looks similar to the MSF's and loove this stuff...so pretty...it reminds me of strawberry and cream ice cream yum!...It gives your cheeks a uber pretty glow...this one can pass off as a blush...great highlighter look how the light reflects with this...I'll get the Gold Banana Muffin, next time...it's also pretty..it's a peachy bronzy one...It also comes with an super duper soft brush!!! Go buy one now! I'm in love with this!

From the Kanebo counter: I bought a Kate Glamtrick Eyeshadow Palette in GN#1, two Coffret D'Or Party MakeUp Collection palette #1, and one Coffret D'Or Party MakeUp Collection palette #2.

I like the Kate Glamtrick Palette, love the colors but the colorpay off is more on the buildable side...I swatched it without a base, so you can see that it's  color payoff is sheer buildable, so use a good base for a more vibrant results... The blackened green eyeshadow is practically the same as the NARS e/s in Night Porter...So I'm happy with this buy! And does anybody has a palette like this one? Since I noticed that the silver one (the one with the question marks in the photo above) has a different texture...I think its not powder...It's like a cream shadow or a gel liner??? Can anyone tell me what it is???

This one is the Coffret D'Or Party Collection palette in #1...I bought two of this (why? I'll tell you later)...The packaging is soo pretty...It contains 3 e/s and 3 lippies with e/s applicator and lippie applicator... This one is more pigmented than the Kate (sorry I swatched it poorly)  but its still pretty much on the buildable side...The middle e/s is not really an e/s but I think its more of a pressed glitters/shimmers...BTW swatched it without a base so a good base would really make a difference...The left most e/s is a frosty pastel pink, the middle is gold glitters/shimmers, and the right most e/s is a frosty midtone purple...

This the neutral version of the #01 palette...also contains 3 e/s and 3 lippies...The left most e/s is a peachy beige color, the middle one is again like a pressed glitters/shimmers than a e/s...the right most one is a taupey beige black...The color pay off is buildable...Swatched it without a base...Same packaging as the #01 one palette except that the rhinestone in the middle row is amber rather than pink...
