PIXI Eye Beauty Kit in No. 11 Mod

Hello guys!

Okay... so I did an impulse buy on this product that I'll be sharing with you in this post. I just saw it and thought that it's a great travel buddy for its slim case and that it already carries many shades. It's the...

PIXI Eye Beauty Kit in No. 11 Mod

Besides the very slim packaging that will not cost too much space in your bag, what got me attracted to the palette are the shades included...

As the palette name suggests, the selections are indeed mod. All eight shades are colors I use very often since they are mostly neutral. I also like that even if the compact is thin, it still has a built-in mirror. Considering all these factors, it really is a great travel buddy.

It also comes with an applicator. It's double-ended—one side for applying eyeshadow while the other is for lining (eyes or even brows). I still prefer bringing my own eyeshadow brush/es because I find this one too small. :P

So here are the available shades in the palette:

And below are their swatches, starting from the left quad, top left to bottom right:

The eyeshadows are powdery, but I'm surprised at how pigmented they are, even the matte ones! They are buildable too! You can just wet the brush and the color turn out would be bolder. The shades are pretty okay although the brown ones look pretty similar to each other.

It's a pretty decent eyeshadow palette. The only thing that I didn't like much is that it doesn't really lasts long alone, but with a good eyeshadow primer, it can last quite a while—even for the whole day if I don't stay outside long enough to get sweaty. 

So yeah, I would still consider this a good impulse buy. What do you think?

FOTD : Because I'm Feeling Mod

 Hey gorgeous!

Here's the FOTD post I was supposed to publish yesterday.

I was out with the family at BGC to celebrate my mom's birthday.

 Because of all the hype with bold, matte lipsticks, I've forgotten to use most of my pale lippies. I actually have quite a number of them because I really liked doing smokey makeup.

So yesterday, I explored my makeup stash again and used the palest gloss I have and partnered it with a sexy cat eye liner. No smokey eyes for this one. Just all mod. I used white eyeshadow and some brown ones to add "depth" to my eyes. Too bad I didn't have falsies when I did this cuz they would have added a little more 'umph' to the look!

 And here are other vain pics I took...

 I feel like it works perfectly with the new bangs and my 'doll-like' curls as Liz calls them. I liked the look so much that I will probably do more mod looks for the next few days. Haha.

What do you think of this FOTD? Should it stay or should I stick with colorful ones?

Cheers,
DAWN
