E88 palette by Boozyshop

This palette cost 18,95 EUR, it contains 88 eyeshadows and you can order it at www.boozyshop.nl. (kindly provided for blogging purposes by Jana).:-)

Though the pigmentation is supposed to be high in each colour, it is not the case. The crosses mean a fail, the bullets are thumbs up!
The palette was carefully protected in a box.
 

A nice mix of matte and shimmer eyeshadows.
72:15 - the pigmentation score
The weakest link seems to be the brown corner.
On the other hand, the shimmery pigments have gorgeous pay-off.

Wishlist - E.L.F. Eye transformer palette

Just like everyone else, I am a bit hesistant about products that look too good to be true (and they usually ARE rubbish), but I keep on hearing mostly good stuff about this little palette - Studio Line -  E.L.F. Eye Transformer palette, available at http://www.eyeslipsface.be/, 3,50 EUR.

You can use these eyeshadows on their own (boring) or you can apply them over any other eyeshadow to alter its appearance (hence the transformer) or you place them over a black eyeliner and see the magic in the making :-)

Catrice Absolute Eye Colour 010 The Seasons's Must Have

It is not easy to be standing in front of the Catrice cosmetics counter and to choose from the huge variety products on offer, you just completely crave for all of them, or at least I do. I was the same with this eye quad. It is a perfect balance between matte and shimmery colours, the rich plum, the steely silver, the minty green and the capuccino colours are simply stunning! They are silky smooth and easily applied over the eyelid in any combination imaginable. Here are my swatches:
The left side is swatched on a white base (Berange Paris)
 
Actually, trying to shoot a picture of the swatches, I realized that the strongest payoff comes from the top left plummy colour, it is also the the most reliable one for your crease. The second place, as far as pigmentation goes, is the bottom left capuccino colour. The rest you will find a bit difficult building up. Overall, it is a cute little quad, relatively cheap and I am sure, it will be fun in the summer months:-)
