Manly 80 colors Eyeshadow Palette by KKcenterHK- For the fun of playing with colors!!

When I started this blog, I was a fond of different eye shadows, but i still kept very few eye shadow trios & quads in my makeup box because despite of being a makeup lover I didn’t do much experiment on my eyes. I had been a junkie of lip colors those days but after starting this blog I bought lots of eye shadow palettes and did many experiments on my eyes. I’m happy that my readers loved those experiments of colors. When KKcenterHK offered me to do some reviews of Manly palette I chose their 48 colors palette but they requested me to do for the 80 colors manly eyeshadow palette, I agreed for that but I thought many times that what would I do with a lot of colors LOL, hey I’m not a makeup artist or something like that…but was really excited to see a lot of colors. Now I have this lovely palette and today I’m here to review this & share my experience with you!

Price
$21.33

Packaging

I should appreciate KKcenterHK for sending me this palette so safely without any damage. It was wrapped very securely by them with many covers of bubble wrap. I opened the box very excitedly. After removing a bundle of bubble wrap, I saw another bubble wrap cover over the box. Now this is what i call SAFETY!!

Now about the Manly palette packaging…I would like to say that it’s classy and beautiful. In a white Manly packet a slim bright black case comes which is so pretty. After opening the case I got there were two separate palettes with 40 colors each in short, they were double stacked There was also a plastic film to cover each palette. Beside this, there is also a small purple ribbon at the corner of the palette kept under to lift it.

Overall I can say that I’m really impressed by the packaging

Shades

There is an extensive selection & a great mixture of both matte and shimmery colors. The colors in the palette aren't anything that can make you over excited. There are no strange and new colors that I've never seen ever but if you are looking to build your basic color collection, this is great.

Upper palette

The one below

If I talk about the colors, they are impressive especially in the shimmers. Every colors are highly pigmented and silky, very nice in blending. But I can’t say the same thing about the matte colors which I found seem to usually be chalky and difficult to blend. Most of matte colors are not pigmented. I had to apply again and again for swatching on my hands. I felt they are quit powdery and after some times they lost their colors and faded so without any primer you’ll be disappoint after applying the matt colors.

The pots of colors quite small but if you have a lot of colors you shouldn’t worry about the size.

In the mirror of my own experience

I love the selection of colors. Every basic color which you need is available in this palette.

They come with basic white and black, a shimmer and matte version of each. The black and silver are fantastic for smoky eye makeup. Some colors like red, turquoise and some shades of oranges are quite harder to find in a common palettes. I love the matte brown shades because it’ll be useful for define my brows. Gold and orangish gold colors are really pretty & unique. But this palette has a lot of yellows and green shades which I don’t like. I’m unable to understand why they keep so many shades of the same color & that too yellow? I don’t think one needs yellow shadows much in real life...isn't it?

Final thoughts

Finally I love this palette. If you see the price tag, you’ll not mind the weakness of some matte colors. If we ignore lot of yellows and greens, the variety of colors are great. You don’t need to look for any other palette when you sit for playing with the colors. I don’t say that it’s an ideal palette for a makeup artist or professionals but for beginners, it's a great one at such a low cost!!

Shades swatches randomly : 10 matte (3-4 swipes each)

10 shimmers (2-3 swipes each)

Recommendation

I really recommend this palette to all my readers. All the shimmery colors are highly pigmented and buttery silky. You don’t need even need to apply a primer before applying them but for the matte colors, you really need a good base or primer.

.75/5

So pretty ladies, what are you thinking about this palette? If you want to play from different colors without spending a big amount of money, you should grab this palette very soon.

P.S.- EOTDs & Tutorials using this Manly eyeshadow palette coming very soon!

KKcenterhk Marbelized eyeshadow & Ardell False Lashes-Review, Swatches+EOTD

Hi everyone

So sorry for this late post. I was extremely busy these days because of the arrival of some guests & also some problem in the internet connection . But I would apologize to my lovely readers who had sent me many mails for writing new posts. Now your wait is over and finally I’m back :D

Today I’m reviewing two things which have been sent to me by KKcenterHK which include A QV marbleized eyeshadow & a pair of Ardell eyelashes.

QV Shimmer marbleized Eye Shadow-Cool Color

It’s a baked eye shadow trio with soft shimmers.

What it claims

Suitable for both day and night makeup can be used party or professional makeup, 100% new.

Price

$8.80

Packaging

The packaging is cute. It reminds me of the Borjous blushes’ packaging. It’s a round golden case with a transparent lid.

Shades

There are three shades in this trio. All are cool and soft shades for summers.

The first one is baby pink with light shimmers. It’s quite pigmented and so girly.

The second one is soft purple. Very nice for summer wears. It’s pigmented too.

The third shade is light blue. You may even call it turquoise. With light shimmers this shade is so summery and pigmented.

Pigmentation

When I first touched this baked eyeshadow, I was not very impressed because in the first touch I felt that they were not much pigmented but next time when I was going to do the swatches, I realized its pigmentation. After using them on my eyes, I really felt its quality. All shades are intensive and beautiful. I used them without any primer and they not only show up clearly on my eyes but also looks cool. There is no fall out at all.

Good points

All shades are intensive and soft. They are not much shimmery. Easily can be used with cotton summer wears.

Some eye shadows are highly pigmented but too much fall out becomes a headache sometimes. I won’t say that this one is highly pigmented but the shades can be applied very easily and clearly be noticed. No fall out makes application so comfortable.

The packaging is cute and handy. Very light weight. Easily can carried out in your purse.

The color selection is good. All shades are different from others and very nice for summer dresses.

The qualities of all shades are equal.

The girls who don’t like much shimmers are also would love this trio because the shimmers would not show much.

Office going ladies can use it very comfortably.

Around 10-12 trios are available at KKcenterHK so you can choose your favorite one!

Very decently priced.

The swatches:

Bad points

There is no applicator provided with this trio. If you use your own eye makeup brushes, you will not care of this but for those who use the applicators will be disappointed.

No mirror with it so you’ll have to use your own mirror while applying the shadows.

The shades are intensive but not highly pigmented.

Final thoughts

Finally I love this baked eye shadow trio. All shades in this trio are not only beautiful but intensive and noticeable. I can apply them on my casual wears and party wear as well. The shade selection is lovely and cool. On seeing its quality it’s absolutely a steal.

Recommendation

I surely recommend it to all my readers. In my opinion you should surely try it once.

The next product which I wanted to share with you is this pair of Ardell false eye lashes.

Ardell Runway eye lashes

It’s a pair of natural false eye lashes. It’s from their Make-up Artist Collection

What it claims

100% human hair, poils naturels a 100%, 100% cabello human

In the mirror of my own experience

I don’t like very thick and dramatic eye lashes. I always love to use such lashes which can be easily mixed with my own natural lashes. When I used this Runway lashes at first time, it looked lovely and natural. I applied them very easily and after one coat of mascara it felt like a part of my natural lashes.It looked so natural and light weight that after some time I almost forgot that I was wearing false eyelashes.

Good Points

These lashes are available in different designs as per one needs.

Very light weight and stays on long .
The lash band is really thin and blends well with the eyelashes. They feel like your own natural ones.
They have perfect length and shape. Different shapes for different eyes.
Looks so natural and perfect for my eyes. it gives an innocent look to my eyes.

Bad points

I don't like its packaging. A separate case keeps the lashes safe.
They didn't send me any glue with it so I have to use my own glue from KKcenterHK.
After washing them slightly their original shape were destroyed which was very disappointing.

Final thoughts

Finally I'm not satisfied with these lashes due to their destroyed shape after washing. I washed it very carefully with a mild shampoo and dried it in a soft towel for a while but i couldn't get it natural shape again. Can anyone tell me its reason? Is it my mistake in washing? Plz suggest me your ways of washing lashes.

Recommendation

In this situation, I don't want to recommend it to my readers. In comparison to ES falsies, these are not at all impressive.

Hope you liked this EOTD!!!!

Cream & frozen eyeshadow from KKcenterhk-Review, Swatches+EOTD

Hi ladies,
Hope everyone had a great weekend!!So today I have two things to review and I hope you find them interesting...take a look at what I have for you today:First is a Meilasu black cream eyeshadow PM13 from Kkcenterhk.




What it claims:

Long Wearing, Colorfast

Net weight:

5.8 g

I usually don't prefer cream eye shadows on my lids as they do tend to crease giving a bad look. But when I saw this one...I was really tempted to give it a try so here I have it with me now.

The good points:

It's highly pigmented and of a very good quality.

Has a soft, creamy and buttery texture.

Easy to blend.

Unlike other cream eye shadows it does crease much and that's the best part in it.

A wide range of shades is available at KKcenterhk.

Very decently priced- $2.80 only!!!

Staying power is quite impressive.

The packaging is very graceful.

The swatch:

The bad points:

As I had mentioned before that this cream shadow does not crease much as others tend to do...but still even this one after 1-2 hours starts creasing. But anyways I won't mind it that much as creasing is in the nature of almost every cream eyeshadow...isn't it??

Overall:

Overall, I would say that this cream eyeshadow is one of the best one that I've tried till now and would surely recommend it to others if you're in search of a good cream eyeshadow.

Rating:

4/5

So ladies, that was the first thing and now comes the second one which is Love Alpha frozen eye color PF09 from KKcenterhk.

What it claims:

Bright Shining Jewel-Like Sense Of Penetrating Eyes. Hydra-Rich Stretch Of The Jelly Textures Eye Color.

Net weight:

10 g

This is the first that I've ever used jelly frozen eyeshadow from any brand. But this looked really interesting so thought of giving it a try...take a look at what I feel about it-

The good points:

Love Alpha frozen eye color delivers shimmery, relatively intense color with one swipe.

Has a creamy, soft and a bit sticky texture.

It's quite lightweight and it can beautifully decorate the eyes.

It's a multipurpose shadow and can be used as a base, for shimmers, as a shadow, as a glitter eyeliner as well.

Gives a light, slightly cool feeling to the eyelids.

The packaging is very beautiful, especially the lid!!! Quite similar to Jill Stuart jelly eye shadows.

Enough content so it'll last long.

Decently priced-$3.30

Here is the swatch:

The bad points:

It creases badly without a proper base:(( That's the reason why I seldom use is as a shadow alone.

Does not apply properly and evenly on the lids. You'll need many layers of it to get the perfect shade.

Very difficult to remove...only a good makeup remover can remove it quickly otherwise it's a very difficult task using almond oil or cleanser.

It's very glittery so can only be used on special occasions. And if you dislike shimmery eye shadows this is not a product for you.

Overall:

Overall I can say that my experience with this jelly shadow was neither a wonderful one nor a bad one....so it was a mixed one which you can surely see if you go through the pros and cons of this product. But I did find this a lovely and interesting product and if you think you can manage to use this you surely should give it a try.

Rating:

3.50/5

And now after these boring reviews I would like to show you an EOTD which I did using the cream and jelly eye shadows. Take a look:

Shades used:

Black cream eyeshadow all over the lids

PF09 jelly eyeshadow as a liner and on the brow bone in the form of dots

So guys hope you liked today's post :D Don't forget to tell me about it through your lovely comments!!!

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.


Net content-
7g

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
