heme Cosmetics Eye Color Palette in Sweet Berry

Hello loves!

It's the new year!!! Happy 2025, guys!

To start the year, here's a product swatch post from a brand I just discovered recently.

I went to Taiwan twice last year and I made sure to try a local makeup brand and one of the brands I saw is heme Cosmetics.

iMagic PROfessional Cosmetics Pigments in Glisten, Fantasy, and Forever Love

Hi loves!

Do you also love sparkly things like me? If you do, then you probably can't resist sparkly eyeshadows too. That's why I can't help but buy loose eyeshadow pigments that give so much color and glitter.

Here's one of the pigments I've bought some time back:

Eye Palette Sunrise and Moonrise BLC x Althea

Hi loves!

When Althea Korea first released their makeup collection, I was so thrilled to share them with you because of how great they are. But out of all the items I shared, I think the eyeshadow palette became my favorite instantly.

So for today's post, I'll share swatches and the looks I made using the...

Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in G125 Naiad

Hey loves!

So the elections just ended and I'm seeing the unofficial count of the votes, and I have to be honest, I'm not happy with what I'm seeing. Since I want to think of anything else but the elections in the Philippines, I'll just post something makeup related on the blog to somehow lighten my mood by just a but. I guess just a quick swatch post will do.

BYS Prismatic Eyeshadow Palette

Hello lovelies!

I'm a big fan of glitters and I love adding sparkles when I do my makeup once in a while... and I don't mean a few glitters, I want shiny sparkles! I usually like the glitters on my eyeshadow, but I rarely find the eyeshadow that has the chunks of shiny glitter that I like. I only find shimmery ones and often are just metallic. When I do find some with chunky glitters, they are usually cream type eyeshadows and those rarely last long on my oily lids. 

So when I saw that BYS Cosmetics had a sale on their eyeshadow palettes, I was interested to check out their collection and saw this...

Chica y Chico One Shot Eye Palette in Wine Burgundy

Hi dearies!

I think it's no secret that I like the color peach and I tend to pick shades that are near the warm pinks or rose gold whenever I look at eyeshadow palettes. But pair it with glittery golds and beautiful wine red shades, then you have a palette that I would reach for EVERYDAY. This is something different for me since I like trying different looks everyday. I rarely use the same product for consecutive days, except if I'm out traveling and I only brought a few products with me.

But this product that I'll share today just made me do what was unusual for me and I literally used it everyday for a week since I got them and it's still a favorite of mine for more than a month now...

Shiseido Paperlight Cream Eye Color in Yamabuki Yellow

Hello lovelies!

I was able to receive some gift certificates from Shiseido last August which gave me a PhP 500.00 off for every item I purchased. Since I'm not really looking for anything particular and I just wanted to get the best deal possible, I bought items that were more affordable than the rest from the brand, which were their lipsticks and single eyeshadows. Since I like eye makeup the most, it's a no brainer that I had to check out their eyeshadow pots.

Two shades caught my eyes and one of them is the...

Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo by Eye Studio in Bold Gold and Bad to the Bronze

Hey dolls!

My sister gave me some of her makeup and among them are these eyeshadow pots from Maybelline. I already own other shades but what I like with the ones my sister gave is that they are neutral in shade, and since they are long lasting, they can act as an eyeshadow base.

Here are they are...

Nonie Creme Colour Prevails Eye Shadow Palette in Nude and Neutral

Hey loves!

Sweets-Sweets Sparkling Eye Gloss

Hello dearies!

Recently, I've been fond of using cream eyeshadows as eyeshadow bases. They prolong makeup and make the powder eyeshadows look bolder. So when I was in Osaka browsing the makeup stores, I saw a product that got me interested (and it was on sale too!)...

Inglot Freedom System Eye Shadow Pearl in 451

Hi guys!

I’m currently on a trip and won’t be home for another week, which explains why the blog has been quiet for a while. I’ve been in Sydney for the past seven days to spend time with my sister and I’ve been having a blast! You can check out the places I’ve been to on my Instagram.

As much as I’m having fun here, I feel bad that my blog is inactive so let me share a quick swatch post for now...

RiRe Pigment in A Pink

Hey dolls!

I've been buying glittery liquid/cream eyeshadows lately and I just liked glitter so much that I decided to add more sparkles by getting a loose powder version! Haha!

Here's what I bought...

It's PhP 230.00 at BeautyMNL (currently sold out) and Althea PH.

Holika Holika Eye Metal Glitter in Stellar Dust and Rose Burst

Hello loves!

I love things that are shiny and sparkly so it's no question that I'll be drawn to getting these super sparkly eyeshadows from Holika Holika when I saw the graphic ads on the brand's Instagram page. And so, I bought two shades of the Eye Metal Glitter at their SM San Lazaro branch last December.

Essence Hi! Lighting Eyeshadow Mousse in Hi! Mauve

Hello dears!

Four years ago, I blogged about a cream eyeshadow from Essence that I just love to use as an eyeshadow base. I loved it so much that I was so disappointed when I learned that the Essence shops at the leading department stores do not carry those long-lasting eyeshadows anymore. 

Last December, I visited one of their counters to check just in case they carry that cream eyeshadow again or if the brand released a similar product. There was none... but, the sales attendant recommended that I try this...

I bought this for PhP 229.00.

Estée Lauder Graphic Color Eyeshadow Quad in Vintage Violet

Hey loves!

Here's an easy go-to eyeshadow palette that I use when I'm in a hurry or when I travel.

Estée Lauder Graphic Color Eyeshadow Quad in Vintage Violet

What I like about it is that it's a mix of purple and mauve shades that are wearable and they compliment my skin very well.

It's also easy to carry around because the compact is thin and sturdy. It also has the classic Estée Lauder design that's so elegant to look at (although the sticker at the bottom could be further improved).

I love using the first two shades because they are the most neutral. I pair it with almost every lipstick shade I have in my stash. But the purples at the bottom creates a dramatic statement so I like using it when I go out in the evening.

Below are the swatches from top to bottom:

See what I mean when I say they are wearable? My favorite shade is the second one. :)

What are your thoughts on the Estée Lauder Graphic Color Eyeshadow Quad in Vintage Violet? 

Cheers,

StudioMakeup Soft Blend Eye Shadow in Peach Sorbet

Hi dearies!

I've been wearing this eyeshadow often lately...

StudioMakeup Soft Blend Eye Shadow in Peach Sorbet

I was able to get it for only PhP 218.75 from its original price of PhP 625.00 at Beauty Bar.

If it's not obvious yet, I love peach! And that's what attracted me to get this eyeshadow.

Another thing I like is eyeshadows because that's the part of the makeup process that I can get creative. :)

This is my first eyeshadow from the brand and my initial thought were:

The packaging looks great! It's simple yet classy. I like that you can see the shade from the transparent case.

The eyeshadow is a light peach with shimmers. It looks fun and sweet and great for everyday wear. It's like close to being neutral but not really... you know? :P

Here's the swatch

And below are photos when I wear it with my favorite winged liner:

I love the effect because it instantly brightens my eyes. :)

With the right eyeshadow primer, it can last the whole day on my lids.

What do you think of the StudioMakeup Soft Blend Eye Shadow in Peach Sorbet? :)

Cheers,
DAWN
