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.

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.

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.

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eye Shadow Palette - Coming Soon

(49USD - Arriving Dec. 8th) I can't wait to touch and swatch this palette! And I love seeing more and more mattes in the latest nude palettes. I think Almond Truffle, Dark Truffle, Malted and Bordeaux would look perfect in the crease area and more lighter shades like Pecan Praline will compliment those shades as a base color. I don't like light and flat pinks like cotton candy but I don't mind seeing it here, since there are so many wearable shades in the new Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eye Shadow palette.

It will be launched on toofaced.com , I don't know if Sephora will launch it on the same day though.

Bourjois Color Edition 24H Cream to Powder Texture Eye Shadow in Prune Nocturne Review and Swatches

Generally I like Bourjois Paris products, they are high quality for a drugstore brand. Usually cream eye shadows are very difficult to work with. They either crease or smudge or you can't get an even layer if they are gel like. The worst that you can expect from a shadow.

So count them all and think just the opposite. Yes! This particular cream to powder eye shadow works like magic. It does what it says, you can feel the powdery creamy texture when you touch it. Texture wise they are quite similar to Chanel Illusion D'ombre, but Chanel is a bit bouncier and gets drier and drier over time. I had this Bourjois one for quite sometime and no shrinking yet.

Last but not least, Prune Nocturne is a plum with reddish sheen. It has a buildable color payoff.

Bourjois kısa zaman öncesine kadar Türkiye'de Watsons'larda satılıyordu, umarım en kısa zamanda tekrar getirirler. Belki Boyner'lerde hala vardır bilemiyorum. Ama eğer ulaşabilirseniz bu ürünü tavsiye ediyorum, mürdümün çok sıcak tonu, kızıl ışıltılı bir far. Krem - toz far olarak tasarlanmış ve çok kaliteli bir ürün.

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.

Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Eyeshadow Quad in 6 Terra Sienna Review and Swatches

(0,212oz./6g - 60USD) Did you realize that sometimes in a same palette, shimmery colors are very smooth where matte colors are hard to blend and not smooth at all. Well, in this palette you'll find that every single shade has an amazing formula and texture that is buttery, easily blendable and pigmented at the same time. I am very pleased with my purchase. And even though the darkest shade is a matte it doesn't have any fall out.

Giorgio Armani eye shadow palette has a decent packaging. The material feels identical to Chanel products so it won't have scratches all over. But the rounded shape of the case makes it hard to use the mirror.

First shade on the top is a pink champagne, has pearlescent finish.
Second shade is a more metallic pewter one.
Third shade is a soft reddish matte brown, a dupe of Corduroy by Mac.
The last shade is a deep eggplant, matte.

You can find Giorgio Armani Beauty at Nordstrom or Barney's.

Giorgio Armani makyaj ürünlerini Türkiye'de Sevil mağazalarında bulabilirsiniz, tabi yurtdışından almak her zaman daha mantıklı, ülkemizdeki kozmetik mağazaları fiyatlarını şişirmeyi çok seviyorlar, tabi Watsons ve Gratis'i ayrı tutarak söylüyorum.
Giorgio Armani far paletine gelirsek, dokunduğunuzda yumuşaklığını hissedebileceğiniz kadar kaliteli 4 birbiriyle uyan renkten oluşuyor bu palet. Renkler çok özel değil, diğer markalarda rahatlıkla bulabileceğiniz göz farı renkleri ama Armani kalitesini göstermiş bence.

Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow in 14 Beach Honey Review and Swatches

(0,12oz./3,5g - 26USD) Seems like everybody's loving Bobbi Brown cream eye shadows in general. I've only tried this one and not enjoying it. Both the formula and the color doesn't feel right to me. Yes it looks pretty when swatched but too frosty looking on the eyes, there are so many gorgeous highlighting shades and beach honey is not one of them.
About the formula, it's too sticky and won't glide on, you'll tug on your lids when applying. It's also very difficult to get an even layer with this.

---
Bu Bobbi Brown krem göz farını internetten, sanırım Markafoni'den görmeden almıştım, denemiş olsam kesinlikle almazdım. Çok yapışkan ve gözde uygulaması ve dağıtması çok zor bir yapıda. Bir kaç şans verdim kendisine ama yine de iyi geçinemedik. Bir süre daha makyaj dolabımda tatlı tatlı bana baktıktan sonra elveda deme vakti gelecek kendisine.

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.

Mac Lustre Eyeshadow in Honey Lust Review and Swatches

(0,04oz/1,3g - 16USD) This eyeshadow gets a dislike from me, simply because it has a very sheer color with tons of chunky glitter which falls off when you apply to your eyes. I tried dabbing it on with my finger, that works but I don't like putting my fingers in my eyeshadow. So a big NO to this one.

Mac Veluxe Pearl Eyeshadow in All That Glitters Review and Swatches

(0,04oz/1,3g - 16USD) Buttery smooth, easy to blend, nude champagne shade with a pearly / metallic finish. Good for highlighting, this shade is very pigmented so you don't need much.

MAC Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow in Smokeluxe Review and Swatches

(4g/0,14g - 40USD) My photos look naked now that I don't have watermarks on them, but I just couldn't figure out how to add them on Macbook. I'd be more than happy if someone could teach me a way.

On to the eyeshadows.. These have some nice pigmentation with no fall out at all. 

The first shade is an ivory with muted pearls. 

Second one has some intense sparkle on a brown base. The light picks up the sparkles so it looks multi dimensional and almost wet on the eyes. 

Third one is a metallic bronze copper.

Fourth one is my least favorite, metallic gunmetal.

The last one is a very rich black and it's matte.

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

Cocoa star: A matte chocolate brown.

Night light: Sparkly champagne.

After hours: Metallic pewter.

Eclipse: A warm metallic bronze.

Night fever: Soft black with golden sparkles.

Too Faced Naked Eye Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection Review and Swatches

(11,4g/0,39oz. - 36USD) Looks like matte colors have more fall out in this palette, shimerry ones are more easy to work with and they are more blendable. 

In the buff: Matte ivory.

Pillow talk: Soft pearlescent beige.

Like a virgin: Greyish taupe, matte.

Birthday suit: Shimmering beige.

Satin sheets: Looks almost pink in the pan but transfers as a beautiful shimmering peachy gold.

Stiletto: Matte black, doesn't have enough pigmentation.
