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!!!

Have a great week!!

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

I was very happy with all the pigments and so decided to bring out a look using two of these.Check it out-








The final look-

Products used-

Maybelline Recover foundation
PA09 pigment in the lids & lower lashline
Pink loose shimmer powder on the brown bone & inner corner

Mac gel eyeliner in the inner corner and lower lashline

Love Alpha eyeshadow palette-Swatches

Hi lovely ladies

Today I’m going to show you the swatches of Love Alpha palettes. I know after seeing any palette we always want to see their shades’ swatches and now I’m here with the swatches of all shades.

LOVE ALPHA EYE SHADOW- M45 -02-

1-This shade is blackish green with light but noticeable shimmers.


I can use it for defining my outer corner.

2- This is redish maroon and very lovely. I can apply it oall over my lids and mix with any other light shades as well.

3- This one is very light brown and a bit of peachy in it. You can use it all over the lid or just as a highlighter..

4- This is my favorite shade from this palette. It is a very pretty tea rose pink shade and very girly. I think every girl likes this shade.

5- This is sparkling white and a very decent lovely color. It can be used on the brow bones for highlighting them.

As I had already told that the swatches are without any base or primer. So these are the swatches of this palette.



In sunlight-

Here are the swatches of the second palette. Top row first-

LOVE ALPHAM176-B-

Top row, L-R

1. A lovely unique shade- mixture of golden and silver with a pearly finish.

2. The perfect golden shade

3. The perfect coppery shade

4. Dark brown shade

Second row L-R

1. A lovely green with a mix of golden( I find it the most unique shade of the palette)

2. Dark green

3. Light coppery shade with very few shimmers(quite similar to the 4th one of the first row just a bit more light)

4. Very dark brown

Blush shades-

1- This is a natural pink blush with matte finish. It’s quite similar to the Mac VV beauty powder which I have.

2- The second blush is a dark peach shade. My favorite:)
