Product Review: Mimididi 3D Diamond Powder Eyeshadow in No. 25

A few months ago, KKcenterHK sent me products to try out. They are one of the popular and leading online stores based in Hongkong. I bet you've heard about them before from other Pinay bloggers because of their amazing false eyelashes. That being said, I was totally surprised when they emailed me. One of the things they sent me was this gorgeous shimmery eyeshadow: the Mimididi 3D Diamond Powder Eyeshadow in No. 25.

I honestly have not tried working with vibrant colors in the past because I thought they didn't look good on my eyes. I was content using my neutral eye shadows so I was skeptical to try other shades. However, when KKcenterHK gave me an opportunity to choose the shade I want to try, I grabbed the chance to try out a sparkling red orange eye shadow. I was totally sold when I saw the picture of one of the bloggers who has used it.  

What I like:

• The packaging is simple. Although it is made in plastic, it's still durable. 

• The intensity of the color is buildable. 

• The pigmentation is great even when I don't apply a primer.

• The packaging includes a mirror and an applicator.

• The color last the day. Note: I have oily lids.

• The shimmery particles can be very intimidating at first but it is surprisingly blendable. 

What I don't like:

• The application can be messy because of the glitter fallout. Tip: Do your eye makeup first before applying foundation. Or you can use tissue underneath the lower lid of your eyes to catch the glitters. 

• It has a grainy texture upon application. Good thing it doesn't stay that way when blended. :P

• It is not widely accessible. This can only be bought online. Good News: You can get a 10% discount when you but at KKcenterHK. Just use the code I placed below. :)

Cuicu Flashing Diamond Single Eyeshadow in Honey Brown

Arm Swatches:

This is one of my current favorite eyeshadows. I own other brown e/s but this one is truly brown. Most of the brown eyeshadows available in the local market have reddish or orange-ish hue. Cuicu Flashing Diamond  Single Eyeshadow in Honey Brown is a lovely matte brown shade! :) The color can be intense if you apply an eyelid primer.

Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake Foundation *New Packaging*

Fanny Serrano has heard our long time prayer!!!

No more flippin' the cap to look in the mirror!

All the two way cake foundations have this packaging except for two shades. Silk is one of the two. (I forget the last one). But I think FS is just finishing off the old stocks before releasing the new packaging of the remaining shades. I LOVE THE NEW PACKAGING! Another good news is that you can buy refills once you finish up the foundation. Apparently, you can't buy refills for the old packaging. :P Anyway, I need a new one since the cap of my old foundation is broken (which is the very reason I hated the old packaging). :P hehehe.

Fanny Serrano Two Way Cake Foundation: Php 399.00 Refill: Php 299.00
Fanny Serrano Cosmetics is truly stepping up in the local cosmetic industry. I can't find any reason why a Filipina would not like to try this brand. Their foundation product line offers a wide variety of shades that fit perfectly to Asian skin- from morena to "asian mestiza" complexion. Also, their E/S range keeps me wanting more from this brand.  You can buy them individually or create your own palette. :) THE MATTE EYESHADOWS ARE SIMPLY GORGEOUS. Isa lang muna binili ko kasi nagtitipid ako. Kilala ko din kasi sarili ko na hindi ko hilig magE/S but I'm sure I have several readers who are the real makeup junkies so here are some photos. 

I got this one for myself. :P

Product Review: Pinkies Collection Eye Shadow in Skin Tone

What I like:

• The packaging is simple and convenient. I always bring this in my makeup kit. :)

• The shade SKIN TONE is a matte nude color. I am glad I finally have a nude eye shadow that I can wear everyday. You can include this in creating your own Pinkie Swear neutral palette. Simply buy four shades and you get the palette box for free. *Tip: This is a great Christmas gift idea for your girlies! :) 

• The shade can be used to contour the nose. 

• The product is affordable. I bought it for Php 70. Shimmery Pinkie Swear eye shadows cost Php 75 while the matte ones cost Php 70. 

• I am not into complicated eye makeup (with all the blending of colors and stuff like that) so this shade is perfect for on-the-go makeup. 

• Pinkie Swear is available in SM Department Stores and Watsons. SM Branches: Fairview, Cubao, Manila, Megamall, San Lazaro ; Watsons Branches: Alimall, Isetan Recto, 

What I don't like:

• I noticed that when I applied the product on my eyelid, it appeared darker than expected. The shade is lighter when applied on the arm. 

• One has to use an eyelid primer to avoid the eye shadow from creasing or to simply make the product last all day long. 

ARM SWATCH:

Skin Tone is the only eye shadow I used for this look. :) 

Is it worth the purchase?
Absolutely!!! I'll definitely repurchase this product as soon as I finish the one I bought. It is a good shade on its own so I'm satisfied in using it as my everyday eye makeup color. It goes perfectly with my "no-makeup" makeup look. :P If you're looking for affordable eye shadows, I highly recommend you to try the brand. PINKIES COLLECTION IS FORMERLY KNOWN AS PINKIE SWEAR. They recently changed their brand name. So if you're wondering what happened to the brand, they're still existing under a different name. :) Thank you for visiting my blog! Stay happy and beautiful!
