Love Alpha pigments-Review, Swatches, photos+ EOTD & FOTD

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is having a great start this week!!
So today I'm gonna show you some of my pigments from Love Alpha.(kkcenterhk) This post is gonna be a bit long but hope you enjoy it. Take a look-

From L-R they are-
PA15, PA04, PA09, PA05



1. It's a coppery brown shade and will give a perfect copper look to the eyes.


2.A light purple or better say a lilac shade which looks very graceful & gorgeous on the eyes.

3. The third one is a beautiful sea green shade and I'm really in love with this shade!!

4. The last one but not the least, is a blackish purple shade. It's quite dark and will look best for night wears.

Packaging-
The packaging is really beautiful and not much danger of these getting out of the 'bottle' coz there's a round protective lid to cover it up.

Net content-
8g

Pigmentation-
All the shades are highly pigmented as you can see in the swatches.

Both in daylight-


Texture-
The texture of all the shades is wonderful!! They are very smooth and easy to apply and blend. They also show up very well and look adorable when worn on the eyes.Glides on so easily and covers the whole of the lid quickly.

Staying power-
The staying power too is very impressive. It lasts on me for around 4-5 hrs, which is more than enough....isn't it?

Fall out-
Yes, I did experience some fall out while using it but I think that in most of the pigments this problem is a genuine one coz after all they are loose powders.


Overall-
Overall i highly satisfied with these pigments and I'm sure that if you like shimmery shades you too are gonna love these. These pigments are available in many other shades also.

Rating-
4.5/5

So all this was about 4 pigments from Love Alpha, but the show's not over yet.....Yes, I have another one to show you...check it out-

This one is a pink pigment(it looks like one..isn't it). But it has nothing is similar to the above 4 except that this too is from Love Alpha.
Confused??? Fine, I'll tell you or rather show you...this pigment only has pink shimmers in it. You can use it as a pink shade for applying all over your lids. It can only be used to decorate your eyes, giving a shade a light pink shimmer or for highlighting the lids. All alone it is not of much use.

Packaging-
I really LOVE the packaging!!! It's sooo gorgeous<3....Isn't it?? Has the cover lid under the cap which protects the contents inside.Very easy to carry around.

Pigmentation-
As I said that it has fine sparkles of pink color so it's not very pigmented but fairly good.



Texture-
Not too smooth but looks adorable on the eyes.

Fall out-
Yes this does have much fall out.

Overall-
Overall I can say that I'm not much impressed by this product, but we should add sparkle and glitters to our life....eyes....and for that purpose it's an adorable product. These sought of shimmer powders are available in other shades also such as golden, silver etc.

Rating-
3/5
