Ambrosia Cosmetics Yellow & Green Matte Eye-shadows # 534, 624, 724, 824, 914


So after my road trip to Ambrosia Cosmetics to get Konad plates and ending up with a palette full of eye shadows I thought it only fair to share my thoughts on these for you. These are the first 5 colours in my 15 colour palette; the yellow and greens. 
 
So Creative colour # 914 is called Canary Gem and it’s a bright yellow. It’s a nice matte yellow and I definitely didn’t have any yellow in my stash until now. It applies on first try a bit chalky but the colour is buildable to get that intense yellow colour. 
 
Creative colour # 624 is called Citrus Peel and this is a matte chartreuse (yellow green) colour. It’s more to the yellow side though. Just as chalky as Canary Gem and buildable to get that intense yellow green colour. 
 
Creative colour #824 is Lime Fusion and it’s a matte soft green. This one is a lot chalky than the other two and streaky. This one disappointed me with the texture but the beautiful colour makes up for that. I’m in a loving-green mode lately. 
 
Creative colour #724 is Fern Leaf and is a matte medium green. This one was a surprising stunner since it was extremely pigmented and the texture was smooth, not at all chalky. Beautiful colour! 
 
Creative Colour #534 is called Mermaid Tale and is a matte turquoise colour. This one is a touch chalky but very close in texture to Fern Leaf. 
 
Overall, I think this set of eye-shadows is great even with the slightly chalky texture that is sometimes very common with matte eye shadows. The colours are pigmented and buildable. Only Lime fusion failed to impress me and my favourites out of the bunch are Fern Leaf and Mermaid Tale.
Looking forward to making some new looks with my new yellow and green matte eye shadows from Ambrosia cosmetics.
XOXO

    Beautiful colors, disappointed in the chalkiness though. Love mermaid tale, the only color I had like that broke when my 120 fell.

Revlon Sculpting Blush Palette in Pink

I have never been so disappointed in a Revlon product before… until now! Maybe I chose the wrong colour for my skin-tone but there are so many other things about this palette that makes me think I should have bought some more lip butters instead. Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Marble Hearts: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 13)

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
