Sorry for being gone awhile everyone! I hope you missed me! I missed you. ♥
Today's review is for the CUTEST product I've ever reviewed on this blog! Seriously!
It's obviously a Korean product, as if any one but the Koreans could make something so adorable, right?
Thanks to the very lovely Cosmetic-Love for sending over this beauty! ^w^
I'm so sorry for the late review! ;A;
About Cosmetic Love:
Cosmetic-Love is an online store (you can also find them on Ebay), they sell Korean products and are based in Korea! They have some of the best prices out there and some of the best variety in products too! The customer service is pretty fast and so is the shipping!
My package reached me in less than 3 weeks safe and sound!
I'm planning on doing some birthday shopping there too! Lol! Especially since they have amazing gift on purchase options! Not according to the cost of what you buy BUT the quantity! ^_^ They also have free standard shipping!
How cool is that?
They sent me two BB cream samples with my package. :) |
Okay on to the review! :D
Price:
$8.93 (INR 464) A bit on the pricey side but I have paid more for eyeshadow!
Packaging:
ADORABLE! It's a round metal tin, made to look like a cupcake! There is no brush or mirror, so that maybe a problem for some.
There are 5 varieties, each have different "flavours" and colours! >u< Including Peach & Honey and White & Blueberry! The metal tin comes in a little box that looks so much like a pastry box!
I'll just show you...
Kayoot right?! :D
Colour:
This is a baked eyeshadow duo, and in Banana Chocochip, there is a light golden colour and a greyish brown colour. They are both shimmery shades and do really well for a smokey look.
I like using the light shade for my inner corners and the dark one on the outer corner.
Swatches:
You can see why the light Banana colour makes a great inner eye shadow! And see how shimmery they are. Great for night time but go a little easy during the day.

On the Eyes:
They are both different EOTDs. >.<

Lasting Power:
Without primer, the shadow creases and fades in 4 hours on my oily lids. But with primer it lasts a good 7-8 hours with little creasing. :) There is some fall out though since it is so shimmery!
Overall:
More than anything else, this eyeshadow is a great novelty! The packaging is just precious, sitting on my dresser! I would like to try more colours in it though, like Lavender and Grape. Banana and Chocochip is a great neutral combo to take from day to night but I feel like maybe they could add one more colour in there which isn't shimmery for the crease. But I can still use just these two and do a good look!
Like it? Buy HERE.
FOTD:
I'm wearing Banana and Chocochip on my eyes, some Body Shop Honey Bronze and MAC See Sheer (♥) with Jordana's Watermelon Punch lipgloss on lips! |

One point for fallout and too much shimmer.
