Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Eye Color in Brilliance

Hey dears!

Remember my latest online haul from Ellana Cosmetics? My purchases amounted to more than Php 1k and I received this product as a freebie...

Ellana Mineral Cosmetics Brilliance

This was their promo back then. Right now, I think you can receive a blush or a bronzer if you purchase products amounting to Php 1,000.00 too. :)

Here's a brief description of the product from the website:

Pure high intensity mineral pigments that can be 
used as eyeshadows, eyeliners, blushes, lip colors,
bronzers, and body shimmers. Our colors come in 
matte, shimmer, and frost finish.

Note that some shades cannot be used for the lips.

The price of this product is only Php 150.00.

I just love that it has multiple use. It conserves time, space (in the kikay kit), and money! 

The bronze frosty-metallic finish is just gorgeous. I think it would look great on almost any skin tone. Just look at the swatch below!

The pigmentation is so rich that you only need a small amount of product to create this intense color. Even if the shade is in the brown-bronze side, the beautiful metallic shine makes it a scene-stealer.

Although it can be applied in many ways, I usually use this as a bronzer and as an eyeshadow...

 Here's how I wear it as a bronzer.

It blends very well with my warm skin tone. Though it is metallic, it gives just enough amount of shine to create a subtle bronze glow on my skin. You can add more if you wanna achieve that bronze goddess look but as for me, this is enough for an everyday wear. I top it with a cute peach blush for a warm flush on my cheeks.

 Here's how it looks like when I apply it as eyeshadow.

 You can wear it alone but I like adding some dark shades at the outer corners of my lids for extra depth.

This is a very easy look to do and it's also very wearable. 

It really makes my eyes pop with the brilliant color. I don't even need to apply eyeliner to make my eyes stand out!

So here's me wearing Brilliance as a bronzer and eyeshadow:

MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow in Dare to Bare

Hi loves!

Just a swatch post again for tonight. Been a busy weekend for me so I have to make this one quick. :P

So this is an eyeshadow given to Liz by her aunt some months back...

MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow

The shade is Dare to Bare.

Most of the MAC products we post are from her aunt. She lives in Canada so the products from the brand are more affordable when bought there. I'm happy that I get to try the products as well. Sometimes, Liz even gives me some. :)

Liz lend me this eye shadow so that I can take pictures of it. I usually take some of the pics and upload it as draft and she'll add the text after. But I really liked this shade so I tried this out and decided to blog about it myself. :P

I like it because it's a mixture of sorta a white gold and a silver-lilac shades. It looks really fascinating... very dreamy and ethereal.

Here's a swatch of the shades:

It's a bit difficult to separate the colors so I just mix them together, which is how it's supposed to be used anyway (haha!), when I apply them as eyeshadow. Together, they make a warm lilac shade, almost pale pink. Here's how it looks:

It looks so nice, eh? It reminds me of something a fairy would look—shimmery and soft at the same time. Just pair it up with a soft, pink gloss and it'll be a pretty "everyday" look. 

So what do you think?

Cheers,
