Review : BeautyUK Palette in Soho

Hey awesome people! I am feeling sick again. But I really want to post some beauty related stuffs because I only have a few of that this month. So, I will start with this cute and colorful palette from BeautyUK.

"Beauty UK offers affordable, high quality make-up and cosmetics with the latest range of colours and shades to help you achieve your own individual look."

If you haven't heard about BeautyUK yet, it is a famous drugstore brand that offers a wide variety of products for a very affordable price. Nowadays, there are tons of online shops here in our country that offers BeautyUK products.
[ Check out Skye Avenue. ]
I am a neutral kind of girl but I wanted to have at least a few colorful eye shadows in my collection. When I saw this, I really wanted to get it right away but I didn't. When I saw the Multiply Frenzy thing, I knew I needed to grab that chance to get my hands on these. 
So, I got 2 BeautyUK palettes, the Earth Child palette and this Soho one. I got it last July from Skye Avenue for Php 300.00 only.  
[ July Online Shopping Haul HERE ] 

I will review the BeautyUK Palette in No.2 Soho Bright first. :)

Here is how it looks like. 


At the back you can see the Ingredients and some other information. 


It contains 10 colorful eye shadow. It reminds me of water color! :P Super cute!
Some are semi matte and some has a little bit of shimmers on it. 
The size, I think is comparable to a 25 centavos. 
 

Here are the swatches. 


And here are my favorites out of the 10 shadows.


PROS ♥
--- Very affordable! Php 300 for 10 eye shadows is a pretty sweet deal. 
---  Good color pay off. What you see is the color you get. 
--- The eye shadows are soft and it is easily blendable. 
--- If used with a good primer, I think it will last pretty long. And also, if you use a base the colors will pop out more. 
--- The palette is small enough that it can fit any purse or even your kikay kit. It won't eat up tons of space. 
--- Even if it's small, it contains a lot of products. 

CONS
--- Contains  TALC and PARABENS. 
--- Not all eye shadows are that pigmented. I had high hopes with this product. But I was a little disappointed. But for its price, I think it is okay.
--- Some are really chalky/powdery. So you might experience fall outs. 
---  Without using a primer, it won't last that long. 
--- The shadows are soft that is why it can be easily broken. 
--- The packaging looks and feels cheap. The cover is made of cheap plastic thingy. 

TIP: 
I use a wet brush with this shadows that's why I don't experience that much fall outs. 
I also use an eye shadow base [ NYX JEP in Milk ] which helps the colors to pop out more. 

Will I recommend?
If you are a first timer, I think it is a good product that you can practice with. 
I love the colors. I love the variety of palettes. And I will recommend it for beginners. 

Will I repurchase?
No. I still have a lot of products left on the palette. And I would love to explore more on products with better quality. 

Overall, I think for its price and what it can offer. It is a pretty awesome palette.
It is a handy dandy palette that you can bring around and play around with.

I hope this was helpful. :) Stay tuned for my review on the Earth Child palette.
Have you guys tried any BeautyUK products yet? Have you tried this product in particular?

Day 25 Write 5 messages to 5 different people without using names.

Day 25  Write 5 messages to 5 different people without using names. 
I am looking forward for this one. :) 

1st message: 
Hi...
  I don't understand why you keep on talking sh*t about other people but you keep on letting every one know that you have the most perfect and happiest life ever. I don't think genuinely happy people act like that. If you're really happy with your life, why bother hurting other people's feelings. You're not better than anyone, remember that.
Also,you kept on telling me before how you "respect" people and all those fancy stuffs, but I don't think you know the meaning of RESPECT. 
You talk behind other people's back, you act like a child and post unnecessary stuffs in public. You discriminate just because you're not like them. 
Do not forget that being "blunt" or "frank" is different from being bastos and disrespectful. 
Now, tell me who is more immature. ME or YOU?! 
May God bless you! 

2nd:
To... 
How are you? I hope you're doing good. It has been more or less 3 months since the last time we talked. I still think about you every now and then, but I know I shouldn't anymore. I just want to say sorry. Sorry for breaking your heart. I just knew that we both needed it. 
It happened for a reason, I am sure of that. Do not let go of all your dreams. You're such a great man and you deserve all the happiness in life. 

3rd:
Hey...
Please don't grow up so quick. You are a precious creature. And I love you with all my heart. You bring joy and happiness in my life when I needed it most. 
I am so happy to have you. 

4th:
Ehem...
You guys are angels in disguise. All the bad things you're saying to me are helping me grow more and be better. It's funny how you guys have enough time to read my posts and hate on. I feel sorry for you guys cause I know that you lack love in your life. You lack happiness. I understand why you're always hating on every thing I do. 
I hope I can share with every one the love and happiness I am getting from all these awesome people I met through this blog. 

5th:
Hello...
I miss you! I know I have been avoiding you for a few months now.
I am going through a lot of crazy things. And honestly, I was hurt when you're not around when I needed you most. 
I miss you though. I really do. But I just need a little bit more time. 
I hope you understand.

PS. I am writing posts in advance because I have a free time. 
I don't want to waste any second of it. :) I might be busy the next following days, so yeah. That is why I am doing this. :P

Day 24 Do you have saved text messages? If so, who are they from and why do you still have them?

Day 24  Do you have saved text messages?  If so, who are they from and why do you still have them? 
 Saved?! NO! 
But I still have messages from my dad, mom, siblings, cousins and friends.
I still have them mainly because I am too busy and LAZY to delete them :P 

I used to! When I was in high school I used to save TONS of quotes and significant messages on my old phone. Messages from my closest friends, and crushes. :P 
I used to save all those in one folder and read them over and over again. :)

Day 22 and Day 23

30 Days Blog Challenge
Day 22  What’s an inside joke you have with someone?
Day 23  Two months ago, where were you and what were you doing? 
An inside joke I HAD was related to tigers. :P 
It was me and my EX's thing. hehe I can't and WON'T explain it. 
It was something really funny though. I cannot think of anything else right now, eh.

 2 months ago, it was July 23 and it was a Monday.
I think I was facebook-ing as usual. Or maybe I am sleeping already. 
Or if not, I am cleaning my desk/makeup area. OR I am watching a movie. 
I cannot remember exactly because I have a bad memory. And also, I do basically the same things every night. :P

Day 21 If you died tomorrow, what’s one thing you’d regret not doing?

Day 21  If you died tomorrow, what’s one thing you’d regret not doing? 
  If you guys are really following my blog, and reading every thing intently. You will notice that I already posted this photo on my Day 9 of this 30 Days Blog Challenge. 

I will definitely regret not doing it because I really want to try it our and conquer my dear of heights. I want to ride the MOA eye soooo bad! I am a bit scared but I want to conquer that fear. :) 

And also, I will regret not saying Thank You, Sorry and I love you to the most important people in my life. 
I am really not vocal. No one in my family is, but we say it every now and then or when there's a special occasion.  But I will regret NOT saying it more often. 

PS. YES! I skipped on Day 20 because that's a long list. BUT I will get back into that when I am less busy. :P
