Aulia's Beauty Blog: December 2013

I'd been abandone this post for a whole month! I just don't know what to write and how to write this palette's review. Thank you God I can finally finish this. I got this palette from my besties in my graduation day (Yes!! Finally I finished my school XD) along with so many bouquets. Because the flower was wilted a long time ago, now I’m just gonna review this make up palette :p

The cardboard box looks so fancy with a model in turquoise dress. On the back of the cardboard there’s a table consists of what’s inside the box and ingredients. Inside the cardboard, there it is, an elegant sleek black box covered with Styrofoam to keep the box from scratches.

Nyx Be Free make up palette consists of a mirror, 25 eye shadows, 3 blushes, 5 lipgloss’ and three applicators. The first compartment consists with eye shadow palette and the rest placed on the second compartment. This palette will be perfect for someone with warm undertone although it also matches well with neutral or cool undertone.

Eye Shadow:

This palette has 25 eye shadow colors from light to dark, shimmer and matte. Let’s check the swatches:

Green range color:

Brown and black range color:

Purple range color:

Brown and mauve range color:

Brown and payne range color:

The eye shadows' screaming for spring although you certainly can rock the colors all along the year. Over all, most of the eye shadows are pigmented, buildable and blend-able. But the taupe and brown shade has two similar colors and some are almost identical. The eye shadows lasts on my oily lids for about 3 hours and after that the colors are gradually faded, you certainly wanna put some eye primer before. I have no difficulties on applying the darker colors because it’s quite pigmented, so you will need a lighter hand to apply them.

Blush on:

the palette is provided you with three blushes.

The blushes are simply wonderful! There are a shimmery light pink, a coral salmon shade and a matte pink. The colors are pigmented and easy to blend. I’m quite surprised that the pink shades match my skintone because I’m usually using a coral or peachy shade. The bad thing that they are so powdery and the powder contaminate the lip glosses below the blushes.

Lip gloss:

As you can see before, this palette has 5 shades of lip gloss. As you know lip gloss has a sheer color so the color won’t be as bold as lipstick. I’m quite disappointed with the lip gloss because it feels so sticky! Although the color doesn’t make my lips chapped I still preferred a non-sticky lip gloss.

With so many eye shadow color and lip gloss, there are a lot of look you can try using this palette. Me and my friends, Melga and Anggi, are trying to give you some looks using this palette.
