Hi lovelies!
Yet another unnecessary purchase made by me while looking at the items for sale at GirlTalk. Haha. It has been a habit of mine to check the beauty bazaar area. I don't really mind using a pre-loved makeup as long as it is a trusted seller.
I saw this palette and I thought it looked interesting since it already has 6 colors of eye shadows and 2 cream liners. Very handy especially when traveling (which I barely do). :P
Anyway, I got it in a good deal so I don't regret buying it. :)
Things that got me to like it more is that it has a mix of neutrals and dark shades so I can freely experiment with different looks using one palette alone. And the available cream liners are brown and black which are the colors I use the most. And this is the first time I ever get to try a Victoria Jackson Makeup.
The packaging is very simple. It's not bulky so it's easy to carry around.
Back of the box. Here you can see the ingredients and more info regarding the palette.
A closeup of the palette. Shadows are very warm. Just in time for summer!! ♥
It comes with an applicator. An eye shadow brush and a smudger.
Swatches for the eye shadows
They are a bit powdery but still pigmented. And they don't have the annoying chunks of glitters that I don't appreciate when I use my UDNYC. But quality and performance-wise, I still like UD hell-of-a-lot more. This palette can stay long on my lids as long as I have a good eye shadow primer on. Without it, the shadows only last around 3 hours before it gets to crease on my lids.

The liners doesn't lasts as long as my gel liners. Even with a primer, it blends with the rest of the eye shadow after around 4-5 hours.
I also did 2 looks using this palette a few days ago:
A warm, neutral one for an everyday look.
and a more darker and glammed-up look.
I could do a lot more looks with this palette that's why I use it a lot nowadays.
Lasting power isn't that strong on me though. Good thing it's easy to carry around so I can get to retouch every now and then.
What do you think of the Victoria Jackson Mystic Eyes Palette?
Cheers,
