L.A Colors Artist's Eye Palette 50 eyeshadows [Review]

Hellooooo pretties ^^
Today i would like to share my thoughts about La Colors Artist Eye Palette 50 eyeshadow in Inspiration!

If i'm not mistaken, this series has 2 various of palette.. Inspiration and Abstract :)
Mine is in Inspiration.. I bought it for around $14 from local online shop. $14 for 50 eyeshadows?? I was so tempted and finally bought this >_<

This palette include eyeshadow matte colors and glitters colors.. mostly in glitters..
(honestly, i was shocked when look at their glitters eyeshadows.. i was thinking they're shimmer eyeshadows T-T not glitters.. OTL)
I will swatch them one by one, start from right side ^^ I have numbered every row so it won't confuse you :D


every eyeshadow has bubble pattern on their surface.. cute ^^
Ok.. let's start!! =)
(NO BASE / EYE PRIMER)
1st and 2nd row.. glitter eyeshadows

3rd and 4th row.. matte eyeshadows

5th and 6th row.. glitter eyeshadows

7th and 8th eyeshadow.. glitter eyeshadow

9th row.. glitter eyeshadow; 10th row is matte eyeshadow
swatches on a piece of tissue ^^

chalky T_T
behind the scene.. LOL :P
as you can see.. the glitters on the cotton.. 
Verdict = the colors are mostly pigmented.. no need eye base or primer to makes their colors pop up! You just need to swipe more than once to make the colors more visible! 
I admit that their colors are pretty.. and I just hoping there is eyeshadow palette in matte colors.. T-T (I don't have enough courage to use glitter colors in public area).

What I love <3
+ the colors are mostly pigmented
+ has 50 eyeshadows in one package
+ affordable!
+ light weighted (easy to carry)

What I hate </3
- chalky
- lack of matte colors (it's the matter of preference, lol)

Rating: 4/5

Re-purchase? I don't think so.. I'm not sure can finish this one :p
Maybe someday i will buy other palette..

Have you tried La Colors' eyeshadow palette? Let me know what you think ^^
Thanks for reading <3

My Beauty Diary Mask Sheet - Southern France Apricot Mask [review]

Helloooooooo everyone ^^
I'm sorry i was sooo busy lately >_< 
this is my first review for this month.. 
This is My Beauty Diary Mask Sheet - Southern France Apricot Mask
Honestly, this is my first time to use MBD mask sheet ^^
so i'm quite excited to review this one :D
simple yet quite cute package.. looks like a letter in Ancient Chinese Culture ^^
credits: sasa.com
FYI, My Beauty Diary is a famous brand from Taiwan :)
Many people satisfied with this brand, and MBD released many cute and useful mask sheets for daily use! If you're living in Indonesia, the retail price is around IDR 15,000-25,000.
I got this mask sheet from my friend for free =)

Description from sasa.com =

description
My Beauty Diary Southern France Apricot Mask softens, smooths and highly moisturizes the skin.
Apricot extract from southern France provides excellent moisturizing effect. It quenches the thirst of skin, leaving dry skin keenly comfortable. The skin surface will be inscrutably velvety to the touch.
Added with extracts of highly moisturizing grain, such as oat, job's tears and hydrolyzed rice protein, it gives more in-depth nourishing and nursing effect to dry skin. The stratum corneum is fully soaked in moisturizing ingredients. It maintains skin’s suppleness, elasticity, fairness and clearness.
It is suitable for normal skin. It is especially recommended for dry skin and combination skin that tends towards dryness.


how to use it

  1. After cleansing and toning steps, tear off the package of the mask and gently place it on the face.
  2. Leave on for about 20 – 30 minutes. Then remove the mask.
  3. Massage the remains, if any, into the skin. Follow with normal skin care procedure.


suitable for
dry and delicate skin / combination skin


I was quite surprised with the mask sheet.. It contains two masks! The one is the mask itself, and the rest is plastic cover for the mask sheet. I thrown the plastic cover to garbage bin, it's only for protection to the essence of mask, isn't? o_O (help me if i'm wrong).

And, I was quite shock when read the back side of the package.. 2010.10.05? What the meaning of this? o.O 
UPDATE: I already know the meaning XD 2010.10.05 is the manufactured date and 2013.10.05 is the expired date ^^

 Annnnddd... it's time to try this mask :p
cam whoring :P
after 20 minutes, I peeled of the mask and my skin feel so refresh, and quite moisturized!
my skin after used the MBD mask sheet
My verdict = my skin didn't feel any significant progress after used the mask sheet.. only feel hydrated and refresh.. but it's only temporary..

What I love <3
+ it's hydrated my skin
+ didn't break out my skin
+ soften my skin
+ refreshed my skin

What I hate </3
- the effect was only temporary

Rating: 3.5/5

Re-purchase? Maybe.. I want to try other series of MBD :)
