Etude House Lucid Darling Gradiation Eyes (Miss Tangerine) Review - Modest Beauty



Hi!
I'm Honey.
a.k.a. Modest Beauty

Today's post is all about
Etude House
 Lucid Darling Gradation Eyes Palette Miss Tangerine #7 


Right after the Miss Tangerine Line of cosmetics were released by Etude, 
I immediately purchased one for myself.
I got the palette along with some other products, 
and this eyeshadow is actually the first baked-type eyeshadow i have ever tried!
I really had a good first times with this product.
First cream eyeshadow i have tried.
First Korean cosmetic brand i have tried.
First black eyeshadow i have tried.
So see? A lot of first times! :)

Here are the swatches:



I really loved how they named it "Miss Tangerine."  
It really sounds chic and catchy to me
and it really drove me to buy a lot from its line.

Pros:
baked type
pigmented, shimmery colors
radiant and sheer
the eyeshadows feel very soft/smooth
blends very well
it comes with a cream eyeshadow
comes with an applicator tip and an eyeshadow brush
lots of colors/palettes to choose from
all in one palette (base, main color, contour and highlighter)
it comes with an illustration on how to use it at the back of the case
affordable

Cons:
has fall outs
it's pigmented, but when it is applied, it looses it's pigmentation
very glittery at times
average wear (without a primer)

Where i bought:
Etude House Sm Cebu Branch 
Price: approximately php600.00

I must say that i have had this eyeshadow for the longest time
and i really have a good relationship with this product.
I always carry it with me where ever i go. 
It is not one of those superb type of eyeshadows but i still love it.
It's a little more than average if i'm to rate it.
I'm not really a huge fan of the color orange but this palette got me wearing tangerine shades on a daily basis at a point in my life :)
I always prefer using this during day time where the colors show up the most.
About its price, I think it's a little expensive than it's worth/quality. 

If you are looking for a starter type of eyeshadow to use on a daily basis, 
then i would highly recommend buying this one.

That is it for the review!
Hope it helped you a bit.

Hi!
I'm Honey.
a.k.a. Modest Beauty

Today's post will all be about  VOV's Castledew Diacut Eyes
in Planet Diamond

I got this product from a Korean Cosmetic Online Shop named getitmakeover but sadly, they are not anymore operating as of the moment.
This palette retails about php 800 to 900.


chic and castle-like packaging

VOV is a Korean Cosmetic Brand and the Castledew Diacut Eyes
in Planet Diamond is a nine-colored palette with a variety of sheer, pigmented colors.


planet diamond shades
it has shades of pink, coral, bronze and plum from light to dark colors

Here are some swatches with it's corresponding names:





Closer Look on the shades:







Pros:
sophisticated and eye-catchy packaging
baked eyeshadow
last long even without a primer
easily transfers to the eyelids
the colors are pigmented
it's light and slim, good to take when traveling
highly wearable on a daily basis
sheer/shimmery colors
easy to blend with other eyeshadows
variety from light to dark shades
pearl effect
it comes with 2 tip applicators
no fall outs
high quality
names of the shades are very unique

Cons:
can only be purchased online
it can be a bit pricey (but it's worth its quality)
the first 3 shades are so alike to each other, i barely can tell the difference from the other, they should have come up with a more contrasting shade for variety

I would totally recommend this product!

So, that concludes my review!
I hope it helped you.

Clio Professional Art Shadow Review and Swatches

Hello Honeylicious!

This is my review and swatches of the 
Clio Professional Art Shadow 1.5 in #401 Forte Pink

Clio Professional is formulated in Italy but made in Korea.
It's a very popular Korean Cosmetic Brand endoresed by famous Korean asrtists like Lee Hyori and Sandara Park.




It comes in a set of 3 different colors:
(1)very light pink, (2)pink, (3)violet
which is intended as base, gradiation, highlight, ect.
which is actually very cool because you get a lot of benefits/colors in just one case.




Review:

Packaging:
trendy 
sophisticated
unique
artistically done

Pros:
baked type
rich and very pigmented
shimmery, long lasting colors
easy gliding on the lids
variety of  trendy shades to choose from
set of 3 shades in one case
less fall outs
very easy to blend

Cons:
pricy
can only be purchased online

price: php678
where i bought/ where to buy: 

If you are into shimmery, popped colors, 
then this art shadows are meant for you because not only are they very pigmented, 
they look so attractive as well.
They got a lot of different shades, like you name it, they have it, 
so you'll never ran out of options to choose from!

I love this eyeshadow and even though it's a bit pricy, i think it was a good buy for me.
It's worth it and i think the shade that i got is just fit for the summer season 
where all the lovely colors come alive.


That's all for this review and i'll talk to you guys later!!!

Hugs and kisses,
HoneyFrances
