Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection Review and Swatches



(11,4g/0,39oz. - 36USD) Too Faced Boudoir Eyes Eye Shadow Palette is meant for sexy bedroom eyes look, glowing and smokey.
In the buff: You may remember this shade from the Naked Eye palette, just the same, a matte ivory.
Fuzzy handcuffs: A matte peachy beige.
Voulez-vous: A smokey purple with a satin finish.
Satin sheets: Again from the Too Faced Naked Eye palette, shimmering peachy gold.
Sugar walls: A pale taupe with silver sparkles, as usual sparkles doesn't show up on the eyes.
Garter belt: Matte grey, you know sometimes grey shades appear blue-ish on the eyes, this one doesn't, this could make your eyes smokey and natural at the same time.
Birthday suit: This shade is a repeat of Too Faced Naked Eye palette, but this one is slightly paler which makes it a perfect base color as you can see from the dent I made.
Lap dance: Once again from the Too Faced Naked Eye palette, but this is less greyish and more taupe.
French tickler: A not so intense black with sparkles and lots of fall out.

You can view the photos and the review of the Naked Eye Palette here.

Sanırım Too Faced artık Türkiye'de satılmıyor, en son Sephora mağazalarından kaldırılıyordu. Umarım en kısa zamanda tekrar ülkemize gelir. Too Faced'in diğer far paletlerine sahipseniz bu palete pek ihtiyacınız yok gibi ama yine de bakması bile zevkli.

MAC Amplified Lipstick in Fast Play & Matte Lipstick in Mehr Review and Swatches




(0,10oz./2,8g - 17USD) I have a new MAC haul with 6 gorgeous lipsticks,today I'm going to review 2 of those.
       Fast Play has an Amplified finish, so as you can see from the pictures above it has a semi glossy finish and is intensely pigmented. The shade is retro type brown but with a pink hue. I'm so in to pinkish browns lately, could be considered as nude for some skin tones, though.
       Mehr is a Matte, looks velvety on the lips. This is such a Kylie Jenner nude brown. Mehr is very similar to fast play but a tad bit deeper and of course, matte.

Mac Fast Play ve Mehr ruj birbirine çok benzeyen tonlarda ama Mehr mat Fast Play ise ıslak görünümde. Mac rujlar, özellikle de Satin, Amplified ve Matte olanlar beni hiç bir zaman yanıltmıyor. Kapatıcılık ve özellikle kalıcılık açısından vazgeçilmez rujlarım arasındalar. Bu iki ruj biraz koyu olduğu için kullanması zor gözükse de gece ve gündüz makyajı çok uygun renkler.

Gosh Forever Metallic Waterproof Eye Shadow Stick in 02 Beige & 04 Brown Review and Swatches



(0,1oz./1,5g) Gosh is my top favorite drugstore brand, I think it's even better than Revlon! I have yet to try a product that I don't love from them. Gosh eye shadow sticks come with 6 different shades which are all metallics. You can find  these online at superdrug.com

02 Beige is a very light beige with tons of shimmers, the base color isn't visible too much. It's more like a ton of shimmers on a sheer base which is perfect for highlighting the browbone and the tearduct area.
04 Brown is a metallic cool toned brown. I love using this on my bottom lash line. You can blur it so easily while it's still wet and when it dries down it won't move all day.

Normalde Watsons yerine her zaman Gratis'i tercih ederdim ama son zamanlarda bunu değiştiren marka oldu Gosh. Bu mağazalarda satılan en kaliteli ürünlere sahip bence, renk seçenekleri de bir o kadar güzel. Hatta Revlon'dan bile çok seviyorum diyebilirim.
Gosh kalem farlar 6 farklı renk seçeneğiyle çıkıyor karşımıza, hepsi metalik. Ben 2 rengi aldım ve ikisinden de çok memnunum.
02 Beige metalikten daha çok parıltılı bir yapıya sahip. Özellikle kaş altı ve gözün iç kısımlarını aydınlatmada mükemmel bir renk.
04 Brown ise orta tonlarda soğuk kahve, metalik görünümde. Göze uygulaması ve dağıtması çok kolay. Çok parıltılı olduğu için gece makyajında kullanımı daha iyi olur diye düşünüyorum ama günlük kullanımda da gözünüzün altına rahatça uygulayabileceğiniz bir renk.

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in 630 Velvet Beige Review and Swatches



(0,15oz./4,25g - 7,49USD) Another Color Sensational but you need to know that this lipstick has a strong unpleasent smell. It's different and stronger than other Color Sensationals. The color is a caramel leans more on the brown side, it has no shimmers but has a glossy finish. I love the shade it looks so retro and different.
In the USA Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in number 630 is called Red Revolution which you can see my review on that here, but in Europe #630 is called Velvet Beige, why can't they have global products and colors? See the UK website here.

Türkiye'de bir çok kozmetik mağazasında bulabileceğiniz bir ürün, rengi mükemmel, çok farklı duruyor. Pembelerden ve bejlerden sıkıldıysanız bence bu rengi test edebilirsiniz. Biraz olgun bir renk olabilir ama değişiklik güzel. Maalesef Maybelline Color Sensational ruj serisinin en kötü özelliği dayanılmaz kokuları. Eskiden sadece plastik gibi kokardı, şimdi sanırım o kokuyu parfümle örtmeye çalışmışlar ve daha kötü bir sonuç çıkmış ortaya.

Lancome Hypnose Star Eyes 5 Color Eye Shadow Palette Sculpted Eyes in ST1 Brun Adore Review and Swatches



(0,09oz./2,7g - 50USD) Another favorite of mine, I love how all the shades are wearable but I wish that there were more mattes. The applicators are quite nice as well, the sponge tip one with the pointed tip is good for applying under the eyes.

The left most shade is a mid tone metallic beige-brown.
The middle top is a sheer black, lots of fall out.
The middle shade is a greyish taupe with a metallic finish.
Lowest one on the middle is a metallic beige.
The right most shade is similar to previous one, only little bit lighter.

---
Lancome far paleti çok güzel ve kesinlikle çok kullanışlı, özellikle aynasını her gün iş yerinde makyaj yaparken kullanıyorum ve bu paleti genelde yanımda taşıyorum. Gün içinde makyajınızı tazelemek isterseniz yanınıza fazladan fırça almanıza gerek yok, çünkü bu paletin içinde ince, dağınık ve yoğun uygulayabileceğiniz fırçalar mevcut.

Kısaca bu paletten çok memnunum, tabi eğer parlak far seviyorsanız çünkü siyah hariç diğer bütün renkler metalik şekilde. Gece makyajı ve dumanlı gözler için mükemmel. Günlük doğal makyaj içinse açık renkleri tercih edebilirsiniz.

The Balm Nude Dude Eyeshadow Palette Vol. 2 Review and Swatches






(0,336oz./9,6g - 36USD) Nude palettes always excites me, I loved the first edition of The Balm's Nude Tude and I love the second version even more, I think the colors in these are more wearable.

Fearless: A light matte nude.
Fabulous: Shimmery pale yellow.
Flawless: A matte bisque shade, a dupe of Cork by Mac. I sometimes use this to fill in my eyebrows.
Faithful: Shimmery,light peachy copper.
Firm: Shimmery bronze.
Fit: Again a very shimmery color, a golden rose.
Flirty: A purplish taupe with tons of golden shimmers.
Feisty: Matte, light caramel.
Friendly: Deep, rich brown, matte.
Funny: Rusty brown with golden shimmers.
Fierce: Black with shimmers.
Fine: Neutral shimmery dark brown

The Balm Nude Dude far paletini bir kaç ay önce Gratis'ten aldım. Bu paletin birinci versiyonu olan Nude Tude far paletini çok beğenmiştim, hala kullanıyorum. Ama bence bu ikinci paletteki renkler daha kullanışlı, özellikle mat farlar çok güzel. Bu palette baz olarak kullanabileceğiniz veya farklı doğal veya gece makyajı yapmak için kullanabileceğiniz 12 farklı renk mevcut. The Balm mat göz farları uygularken biraz göz altına dökülebiliyorlar, metaliklerde bu sorun çok yok. Yine de sonuç olarak Gratis'e gidildiğinde dokunulup hissedilmesi gereken bir far paleti.

Gucci Beauty Magnetic Color Eye Shadow Duo in 060 Fumé Review and Swatches




(0,09oz./2,6g - 49USD) I love Gucci packaging they are not only very pretty but also very usefull. I can apply my eyeshadow with this small mirror and put in my purse to go. This time the brushes are one sided, one is a sponge tip and the other is a soft bristled brush.
The first color in the palette is a grey with shimmers, the grey shade leans more on the khaki side in certain lights. But never greenish on the eyes.
I wanted to love the brown shadow, because it's a great shade of deep shimmery brown. The problem is it's being too sheer, very difficult to get a color payfoff with this one and unfortunately it has tons of fall out.

Gucci Beauty Magnetic Color Eye Shadow Quad in 020 Tuscan Storm Review and Swatches



(0,17oz./5g - 65USD) I must say Gucci did a great job with the convenience of this palette, it's the size of my palm and has a giant mirror inside. There is two usable applicators in it, one side is a sponge tip and the other is a brush with high quality bristles.

First shade, I use on my browbone with the brush applicator it comes in. Very sheer and pearly golden color, gives a hint of sheen when applied lightly.
The second shade is a soft grey, more on the warm side, again with a pearl finish.
Third shade is a matte caramel.
And then the last shade is a fail. Just because that it has a poor color payoff, it's not buttery like the other colors but it's too powdery which falls out while applying to your eyelids. Too bad that it's a lovely color but very difficult to use.

Kate Tokyo Monochrome Shine Eye Shadow in BR-1 Review and Swatches



My family and I saw this brand in every drugstore in both Malaysia and Singapore. Their stand cought our eyes every time! And we knew that we had to buy some beauties from this brand when we saw "Made in Japan" sign.

They have varieties of different eye shadow quads and duos, unfortunately there isn't one single palette that's matte. They don't even have a single matte shade in their palettes. Still, loving this brand and I wish that I had gotten more products from them.

Anyhow, on to reviewing the palette; 4 soft and smooth pearly, shimmery shades. All shades here are translucent therefore very foolproof.
First shade is a peachy golden one. Second is a deep brown, I must say it's the sheerest of them all. Third one is an off-white and the last one is my favorite mid tone taupe.

I wish that this brand was widely available in the world, still can't get over how in the world I didn't get any lip sticks from them!

Revlon Color Stay 16 Hour Eye Shadow in 500 Addictive Intoxiquant Review and Swatches



(0,16oz./4,8g) I am loving this quad, it has very wearable shades. First two colors are very nude, almost invisible on my eyes. But especially the last 2 shades are my love. Third one is a dupe of Mac Satin Taupe with less pearly finish. The darkest shade in this palette is a very warm chocolate brown, almost a reddish brown, a dupe of Mac Corduroy. They are not overly pigmented yet still buildable.

YSL Pure Chromatics 4 Wet & Dry Eyeshadows in 11 Review and Swatches


(5,1g/0,18oz. - 55USD) These two pictures were taken only 1 month apart and look how messy the YSL packaging turns out. They have always had this problem and they never intend to correct it. Guerlain also has this shiny gold packaging but they never get messy like this.




Other than the packaging I'm loving this quad. I already have a dent in the 3rd shade. I never use them wet though, never need to because I'm satisfied with this moderate pigmentation, less is more to me when it comes to pigmentation on eyeshadows.
The first shade is a dirty muddy blue, the second one is a nude, the third one is a brown and the last shade is a denim shade. All 4 shades look slightly shimmery on the palette but those shimmers are quite invisible on the eyes. 

Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in 06 Les Fumes Review and Swatches





(7,2g/0,25oz. - 60USD) I love this quad, first of all, the packaging feels luxurious without being too heavy for travel, it also has a huge mirror.
The first shade is a medium brown, has some warm sheen. Unlike the other 3 shades this one is more powdery and therefore you'll have a little fall out with this one. The second shade is a warm rose and it's matte. Third one is my favorite deep cool toned brown. The last shade is a shimmery pewter. They all have just the right amount of pigmentation, I hate when you have to be so careful because some shadows are crazily pigmented.

The Body Shop 4 Color Eye Palette in 02 Smoky Moonstone Review and Swatches



(4x1,8g/0,06oz. - 28USD) I'm so lazy reviewing products, it's been a month since I got this palette, I know it's a bit late now but may be someone's still interested. So this the limited edition quad for 2013 new year collection from The Body Shop. Unlike last year, now it comes with two brushes, one is for shadowing and the other one is for more precision.
The finish of the first 3 shade is very similar, all very pearly and shimmery. The darkest shade has more sheen than shimmer.

Too Faced Natural At Night Sexy & Sultry Neutral Eye Shadow Collection Review and Swatches






(11,4g/0,39g - 36USD) This palette has deep smoky tones as well as medium toned colors, mostly shimmery sparkly, and those names are definitely inspired by vampires :)

Full moon: Golden sparkles on a metallic honey colored base.
Night cap: Copper with golden sheen.
Cocoa star: A matte chocolate brown.
Night light: Sparkly champagne.
After hours: Metallic pewter.
Eclipse: A warm metallic bronze.
Spotlight: Yellow toned nude.
Moon stone: Khaki with golden shimmers.
Night fever: Soft black with golden sparkles.

Dior 3 Couleurs Ready-To-Wear Smoky Eyes Palette in 781 Smoky Brown Review and Swatches





(5,5g/0,19oz. - 48USD) Dior's new range of eyeshadow palettes come with 3 coordinated shades. They are just the same formula with other Dior palettes but these are more compact.
First shade in this one is a muddy brown, second one is a sparkling taupe brown but these sparkles doesn't transfer on your eyelids as much. Last shade is a beige which is your base shade and has a soft frost finish.

Nars Eyeshadow Duo in Brousse Review and Swatches




(4g/0.14oz. - 34USD) A nice variety of smokey eyes can be achieved by these two gorgeous shades. The first shade is a bronzed taupe the second one is a smoky purple. Both shades aren't crazily pigmented, I wouldn't say they are sheer either. But they just give a nice amount of color which makes is super easy to work with and as you pile more on you get a nice saturated color without the tiniest bit of fall out.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches








Overall I enjoy Naked2, it's convenient to have all these different shades in one palette. I would have liked to see less metallic finished shades and also more deeper colors. Those are not necessarily good for a smoky eye effect but more like a natural eye because most of them are medium toned, just a few deep or light shades.
In my country it's very difficult to find Urban Decay products so I'm glad that I did, I purchased it from Sephora Türkiye if anyone is interested.

Foxy: Matte yellow ivory, equal to Mac NC20,
Half Baked: Highly shimmery golden honey shade, very buttery glides on perfectly.
Booty Call: Very pale champagne pink with a lightly pearly finish.
Chopper: Pink tinged copper with little tiny copper shimmers on a metallic base.
Tease: A matte mushroom color.
Snakebite: A rich bronze that has lots of metallic sheen.
Suspect: Light brown almost beige, again with high metallic sheen.
Pistol: Soft gunmetal, medium cooler toned grey, also a metallic color.
Verve: Highly shimmery silver, has the tiniest amount of purple hue.
YDK: Soft taupe has a more glittery finish than the other sparkly, metallic shades.
Busted: Dirty greyish purple with a metallic sheen.
Blackout: An intense matte black.
