Make Up Store Microshadow

From left: Muffin, Butterfly


From left: Eclipse, Deep Blue


What i love about Make Up Store's Microshadows is that they have a wide range of colours. They have more than 100 i think, just for the Microshadow range. The colours are highly pigmented (of course used better over a base) and are very fine, and due to the fine texture they are highly blendable.


You only need a little bit for high intensity, and the colours when applied on skin look the same in the pot.


Here are a few swatches:

Wonderfully vivid. I love Muffin, one of the best highlighting shadows ever. You can use it to highlight your browbone, it has a most delightful champagne satin colour. If you had to buy one eyeshadow, i would recommend Muffin.



Each costs about SGD $26 i think? Cheaper than MAC and just as good. Plus each pot contains a lot that would last you quite some time.



Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ Cheap and good quality

Coastal Scents 28 piece neutral palette

Given description (off the website):

This 28 piece eye shadow with defining colors comes with an assortment of neutral tones in shimmer and matte effect. The case is matte black & measures 9" x 6", there is no mirror inside, the shadow pan measures 1" round.

Several of the powders will work as a shadow or a blush! This palette is perfect for everyone when applying a natural effect makeup. Upcoming brides to be will especially benefit from the colors this palette has to offer.

When i received this palette i was really excited. I love neutral tones because they are so easy to work with and you can really create a dramatic look by blending all the colours or just a light and easy shade on the lids for work.



I would absolutely recommend this to working women who want to jazz up their look but are not too sure what colours to use and also to mothers who are afraid to experiment with strong, bright colours. This palette is PERFECT.



The palette has the perfect blend of neutral shades, some dark and smoky, some burgundy and some peachy. Beiges and browns dominate. I reaaaaalllllly like this palette.










The colours in the palette are exactly the same as the picture they showed me on the website, which is also the picture at the start of this post.




Swatches. Moving clockwise from top left: red, green, pink, blue

I really love the peachy shimmery one which is the one marked with blue (also the bottom left swatch). The colours are without primer, so you can see how pigmented they are. I also don't need so much to achieve such intensity.

The best part? The price. Retailing at $21.95 USD, you seriously can't get a better deal. Honestly. For this much colour, intensity and pigment, you really can't get a better deal than this. I suggest you order yours soon before it runs out! As for me, im probably going to have great fun experimenting with all the colours!

The only bad thing is the case. The matte case shows fingerprints and smudges easily, in fact, even more so than the glossy case, but this is no biggie. You can easily clean the outside with a damp cloth.

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 stars. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone and everyone. Everybody needs a good neutral shade palette, and for this price?! Definite must have.
