Review : Fashion21 Color Set

AH! I am sick again. BOO! I have this very bad cold and sore throat since Monday. It got even worse that's why I wasn't on most of the time. Good thing I have some few products ready for review. :)

Today I will review a palette from a famous local brand here in the Philippines. Fashion 21. If ever you haven't heard about this brand yet, here is a little background. 

"Fashion 21 Cosmetics is among the leading make-up brands in the Philippines since 1985. Known for its keen color selection, trendy packaging, imported high quality and affordable prices, Fashion 21 has become every fashionista's must-have. " --- Fashion 21 Facebook Page

The palette that I am talking about is the...
Fashion 21 Color Set

I had this palette for more than a year now. This is the very first eyeshadow palette that I owned. It comes with a thin velvety type of cover/ bag.

 [ My second one is the 88 Earth Color Palette from Dollface. Review here. ]

At the back you can see the ingredients and other infos about the brand. 

I don't know if you guys noticed, but the packaging looks weird to me. It isn't plain black or whatever. It looks like a burnt plastic thing. But whatevs, that doesn't bother me that much. I just find it weird. LOL At first I thought mine was damaged or whatever.

I like the packaging of this one that my Dollface palette. It is also made from plastic, I guess. But it feels heavier and sturdier, in my opinion.

The mirror inside is also bigger than the one from Dollface.

It consists 48 eye shadows. From bright colors to neutral ones. It contains a mix of shimmery shadows to matte.


Here are some swatches. Bright and neutral ones. 

I really love this product. Especially the brown ones. I use those for every day makeup.

I got this for Php 375.00 at Watsons, Mall of Asia.

Now, for the PROS and CONS. 

 PROS. ♥

-- It is very affordable! For 48 colors, it is a pretty good deal!

-- It has good pigmentation. Not all are super pigmented but I love the pigmentation. It isn't the BEST but it is good!

-- You can use it dry or wet. I love using it with a wet brush. It'll make the color pop more. 

--  Good color pay off! Amazing!

-- Long lasting even without using a primer or base. 3-4 hours is pretty long for someone who have an oily lid. 

-- No fall outs.I didn't experience any fall outs at all.

-- Consists of almost all the colors a beginner needs! Perfect for newbies!

CONS.

-- Contains TALC and PARABENS. 

-- It is a LITTLE chalky. JUST a little. 

-- Some aren't that pigmented. 

[ But as I have said, most of the shadows are really pigmented. ]
-- HONESTLY, other than the talc and parabens. I can't think of anything else. 

Will I repurchase?!

I don't think so. I still have tons of product on it. I haven't actually hit pan on any colors yet. 

Will I recommend?!

YES! I think it is perfect for beginners like me. I really recommend it if you want to play safe and just start trying to apply eye makeup. I also recommend this to anyone. I think it is another hidden "GEM" that you can find inside Watsons.

You can find this at any Fashion21 counters.

Overall, I love the product. Especially the browns and neutral ones. AH! Perfect for every day and you can also use it on special occasions. It also contains colors if you want to experiment more. I think for the price, it is really amazing. :) 

I hope you guys like that review. If ever you guys have any suggestions on products that I should try or you want me to try. Please don't hesitate to comment down below. If you guys have questions or anything. Feel free to ask me. ♥

 Have you guys tried this palette already?! Or have you ever heard of it?!

What are your thoughts about it?! Please let me know.

July 2o12 Haul!

I didn't see this coming. HAHA Remember when I told you guys that I'm saving blah blah?!? Well, I am quite failing. GRABE! For the past few weeks I was really REALLY avoiding the mall. AS IN TALAGA! But today Chuchay needed her haircut and at the same time my family and some of my relatives from my mom's side decided to have lunch together. So, we went to SM [ Mall of Asia ] to do those. And I knew it! The moment I stepped on Watsons, its done! hehe. 


Have you guys experienced that? Once you started to buy one stuff, you just can't stop yourself anymore. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED! Lalo na sa Watsons!!! hehe I admit, I am an impulsive buyer [ most of the time ]. A little bit of sale stalk, then I'll be like YES, SURE, OKAY, I'll get it!  I think I have a serious problem here. hahahaha


ANYWAYS! Enough of the talking. [ nasarapan sa kwento! :D ] 
Let's proceed to my haul, yeah? :) 

So, those are the things I got. 

Muka ba kong nagiipon??!? SERIOUSLY?! :P 

I got 3 things from the brand 4U2. I only wanted to try their powder, but I end up getting 2 more! Congrats to me! hehe And the mirror is free. When you buy 3 products, I think you'll get 1 free mirror. 

Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore )

1.4U2 Dreamgirl Faith BB Cream [ Universal Color ] 

I bought this because the lady there "sales talked" me. haha I don't know if that makes sense. She said it's a nice base for the powder and blah blah. We'll see. 

So, I think it is only available in just 1 shade. It retails for Php 184.00 .

2.  4U2 Dreamgirl Lovelight BB Powder [ number 3 ]

Available in 3 shades, I believe. I got it for Php 194.00

3. 4U2 Dreamgirl Together Double blush [ number 4 ]

I bought it because SHE also said it's good. haha 

I think they have 5 different shades. It is Php 194.00 as well. 

And then these are the few other makeup products I got.

And then I remembered that I really want to try out the Lory's hair cream thingy, so I went to the other Watsons near the cinema to get it. But I ended up buying a few more stuffs. HOORAY! hehe

Nichido lashes and Fashion 21 lashes and empty cream jars from Watsons, Mall of Asia ( main mall, beside National Bookstore )

This costs Php. 79.75 

12. Lory's Deep Moisturizing hair cream in Fruit Cocktail

They only have 4 "flavors" available there. I was hoping to get the Chocolate one but they don't have it and this is the only on that has a decent smell on it. There's this snake tail/skin thingy and shea butter, and I forgot the other one. 

450 g for Php 185.00

13. Empty Cream Jars

I will use it for a DIY. hehe I bought almost all of them for the BLOG's sake! hehe. 

I got it for Php 79.75

14. Nichido sponge 

I got this for my Kokuryu foundation. I don't even know why I need to bought one! hehe 

It cost me Php 40.00 

15. Solemate shoes ( department store )

Buy 2 pairs for Php 399.75

So, I have another FAIL story for you guys. I am normally size 8 or 8 and a half. I tried the brown one there, and they only have size 9. They look pretty decent. Not too big at all, it looks perfect when I tried it on. And then I looked for a newer pair, cause the one I tried has some little damage. And then the blue floral one is also size 9 and its a perfect fit! 

When I got home, I tried it on and the brown is TOO big for me already! It's impossible. And it made me sad. So, I just gave it to my younger sister who has a bigger size than me. BUMMER!!! 

So, that's it for my UNEXPECTED haul. hehe I enjoyed shopping, YES. But I don't feel good being an impulsive buyer. Sometimes it makes me realize how UNIMPORTANT some of the things I bought are. I still need to learn to control and be wiser. Especially every time I go inside Watsons. There's just something about Watsons that makes me feel like I need to buy something every time I go there. And it isn't good. I really want to kinda change that. 

:)
