VLUX Palette in Vintage

I love eyeshadows!! :) I think I have more eyeshadows than lipgloss or lipstick or eyeliners. I love playing with colors. I love neutral palettes because you can use it everyday and it doesn't look too much.

I have the chance to try VLUX Cosmetics http://www.vluxcosmetics.com/ by Vivian. She contacted me herself and asked if I want to try her products. I browsed at the website, I don't see anywhere where I can check out the products to buy so I'm assuming you have to contact them at: contact@vluxcosmetics.com to place any orders.

The individual eyeshadow doesn't have a name so I just numbered them from 1-5.

I got the palette in Vintage

These are the Ingredients

Here are the swatches:

PROS: This palette has such gorgeous colors! I love how pigmented they are! Yup, amazingly pigmented like my MAC shadows! I also love how sleek the packaging is. The palette is nice to carry around and the mirror also is a plus when applying make up.

CONS: It's a bit expensive. It's priced $36, but it's still reasonable since it's a lot cheaper than MAC eyeshadows which for me has the same pigmentation. The last eyeshadow (#5) has fall outs.

OVERALL: They have nice selection of palettes in their website, and as a palette lover, I would totally recommend this :) Just remember to put some tape on the bottom of eyes to catch the fall outs.

My Rating:

Refer to this picture for the look I'm going to create.

● I used eyeshadow #1 all over my lid, crease, and brow bone for highlight. ●

● Then I used eyeshadow #4 all over my crease using a blending brush ●

● Then I applied eyeshadow #3 all over my lid using MAC 239 brush ●

● Then I applied eyeshadow #2 on the center of the lid ●

● Then I applied eyeshadow #5 to the V shaped part of my eyes  *clean fall outs* ●

● Apply eyeliner. I used MAC Black Track ●

● Then I applied falsies. ●

♥ Packages ♥

I didn't work 16 hours today. I actually was kind of expecting that they will make me stay but they didn't need me. I don't mind working double today because I'm only working 4 days this week. I have an OFF day on Saturday. We will be going to Adrian's family :) Cannot wait to have that day off!! It's been awhile for me to not work on a Saturday :D

I had a great day at work.. everyone is just so helpful! It amazes me how some people go beyond their means just to help fellow co workers. That's what I call team work! Anyway, I went home around 11pm and I saw some packages are waiting for me at home ready to be opened!! :D I was excited!

First package was from V L U X cosmetics! I was contacted by Vivian Duong from http://www.vluxcosmetics.com to review their palette. I was so excited to open it, such a sleek packaging! :D I squealed when I opened the palette to see pretty neutral shades. I will be reviewing them soon, and maybe create a look using the palette.

I also received a package from my friend Angelique http://angxo.blogspot.com. She is very very sweet to send me the 2 WnW palettes that I couldn't find! Ahhh! I so wanna hug and kiss her for these goodies she sent me. Such a sweetie! and yay for Hello Kitty sweets!!

Gorgeous Palettes!! Thank you again Angelique!! You're such an angel! ♥

3rd package that I opened was from E.L.F. http://www.eyeslipsface.com I ordered from them on March 3, 2011 and it arrived today -- March 9, 2011. Fast Shipping! Yay!!! I ordered bunch of stuff that is worth $30 - including shipping!

Here are the products I ordered. LIP STUFF! I cannot wait to try and review them! and they gave me the eyeshadow palette as a gift :)

Look at all these make up in just one day. If you see my make up stash, so many unused make up, not getting any LOVE from me :( I worked so many hours and the only  make up I carry is my lip balm and lip stain -- sometimes a lipstick or lipgloss. I rarely use eyeshadow nowadays because I don't have time to do that before I go to work. Seriously, I love sleeping in. I'd rather get extra 15 minutes of sleep, than get up and pretty-fy myself. *sigh*

But, I admit, make up does make me happy! ♥ Seeing the stash of make up, used or unused makes me smile. .______. Anyway, it's almost day light saving time. Losing another hour of sleep. *sigh* Seriously, I want to do FOTD and do it on natural light but I'm always at work. Ahhh.. Hope you all are having a great week!
