Stila eyeshadow


Hiya today i'll be review stilia's  eyeshadow in chinchina.

What they say.........
Inspire your inner artist and create a palette of color with stila's award-winning eye shadows. Our assortment offers something for every Stila girl - from classic neutrals to the hippest, trend-setting shades in mattes and shimmers! Our award-winning shades are known for their high-quality formula and texture which can be worn wet or damp.

Packaging ............
i got it as a pan so it is encased in plastic.  It has all the ingredients on the base of the pan. It comes in Stilas usual brown box packaging.

The eyeshadow...............



I like Stilas shadows as they have so many beautiful shades. I wish the pans held a bit more product for the cost, but I can live with it since i got in the debenhams sale . It can be an obsession to have all of them!  Chinchina is an orange-brown that kind of reminds me of tree-bark for some reason lol :).  It is matte so it does require brush skills but its not as difficult to use as some other matte eyeshadows.  It does last for a fairly long time without any primer which is lovely but it does contain bismuth so those with sentivive skin may want to skip this.

Urban decay deluxe shadow box


Hello honey-bees today i'll be reviewing the urban decay deluxe shadow box which was actually my first eye-shadow palette ages ago :)

What they say...........
Filled with only Deluxe Eyeshadows, this velvety case is loaded with 9 of our best-selling shades. Comes with a travel size Eyeshadow Primer Potion!
The new and improved Deluxe Shadow Box includes nine of our velvety pigment-rich Deluxe Eyeshadows-from bold brights to classic neutrals. PLUS, we've popped in a vial of Eyeshadow Primer Potion-sure to get anyone who hasn't tried it, addicted! The gorgeous compact is wrapped in luxe purple suede (faux, of course), and features a window of irresistibly touchable shiny silver mesh.
Fill Weight: Deluxe Eye Shadow 9 x 1.2 e 9 x .04 US oz; Eye Shadow Primer Potion 2.66ml e 0.10 US fl oz

Packaging.....................

It comes in a purple velvety(but its fake suede) box with chain detailing which to be honest i don't really care for as it attracts way to much dust.  Inside there is purple floral detailing which i really like a big mirror (always a plus), 2 brushes which unfortunately  i cannot show you as i lost them (they weren't very good anyway) and 9 eyeshadows with names.

Eyeshadows...........

They are 9 of them and they are pretty sparkly but its fine glitter not chunks of glitter , still i wouldn't wear this for work or school.  The colours range from underground (deep bronze-brown) to Peace (turquoise).   The shadows are buttery smooth apart from zero which was chalky.  I would've loved one or two matte neutrals but then i guess I've got the naked palette.  They last about 4 hours without primer and 8 hours with primer.  I like the 3 bottom colours the best that I've hardly touched the other ones.

Colours in detail;
Fishnet-This is like an iridescent pink/purple shade.
L-r ; Fishnet, Honey, Ransom, Graffiti
Honey-This is a very light shiny gold colour with yellow undertones.
Ransom-This is a purple. It is same purple urban decay use for logo, background etc...
Graffiti-This is a vivid green not for everyday use
Zero-This is a black with glitter not my favourite (it is pretty chalky)

Underground
Peace-This is a shimmering turquoise
Shag-light Brown
L-r ; Peace, Zero ,Shag, Scratch
Scratch-champagne it is a nice highlight
Underground-deep bronze brown

Bourjois smoky eye trio


Hey,
       Gorgeous

I bought the Bourjois smoky eye trio in nude ingénu (04) for £7.99

Good things........................
Nice colors, two are pigmented, nice packaging, all right price


Bad things...........
Lightest color lacks pigmentation, silly brushes

Packaging......................


Its nice 'n' simple with light brown lettering

The trio..........................
Well the browns are pigmented but the highlight doesn't really show up (que swatch pic)
They stay on reasonably well  (for 4 hours without primer)

Grade
B-
