How adorable is this packaging? The theme and inspiration is out of this world amazing. I remember having lots of My Little Pony stuff when I was a kid. There were lots of little ponies in my home as well as a play castle and even cassette tapes. (I still have the Christmas cassette tape and listen to it each holiday season.) Clearly, I am still a kid at heart, because this My Little Pony themed makeup thrills me. I love the classic illustrations, the rainbow and clouds that are inside the palette, and that sky blue colour. The names of the eyeshadows and face products are on theme as well...especially the eyeshadow 80s Child!
As for the colour story, it is very My Little Pony themed. There are five eyeshadows on the upper row and three face products on the bottom row. The eyeshadows have three mattes (lilac, baby pink, and a light brown) and two shimmers (metallic and lilac). The face products include a bronzer, blush, and highlight. Though the colour story is well thought out and well themed, the actual performance is a little uneven. The matte eyeshadows are nice, but since the actual colours are so light, they do not necessarily have a bold impact. The shadows either need to really be built up or only used as an accent. The shimmer eyeshadows are fabulous but perform more as a topper than a standalone eyeshadow. On the other hand, the face products are very pigmented. These perform really well and are the standout items in the themed Shadow and Face Palette.
The two makeup looks above are somewhat similar due to the limited colours in the palette, but I did my best to show off the two shimmer shades. For the first look, the bronzer (Ponyville) was used as a base on the eyelid and then the metallic shimmer (Magical Stride) was applied on top. The blush (Dance Away) and highlight (Starshine) finished off the look. The second makeup look focused on the purple colours, but still brought in a bit of depth. The lilac shade (Blossom) was applied all over the lid and then the lilac shift glitter (Sky Cloud) was added on top. To add a little depth, the bronzer was applied in the outer corner and then it was all blended out with the light brown (80s Child). I used the bronzer on the cheeks and wore it as a blush, because it is a bit too dark for me to wear as a bronzer. I like the sparkle and shine that this palette offers, but do wish that the eyeshadows were a little bit bolder. The face products are definitely the standouts. I absolutely adore that gorgeous blush!
What do you think of this My Little Pony themed release? Do you like themed beauty products?
I can't wait for this crazy week in Cologne :D Thanks a lot <3 The shirt is really cute.
ReplyDeleteThis mask was really good especially the fruity scent <3 Perfect for spring and summer.
I watched really good stuff. It was so nice to have so many questions about the Super Bowl.
Pretty fantastic =) I love the hoodie, it's so cosy, I want to live in it :D
The raspberry water is so delicious and full of vitamins.
It makes me happy that you like the tags as well. Calls are so stressful because sometimes I don't know what to say and the silence is annoying. So if I write I have more time to think about it :D
This is a really nice gift from my friend =)
Great review =)
I love the packaging of this palette, it's so cute and "My Little Pony" is absolutely iconic. The shades are also really nice.
Your make up look is beautiful as always. Both ones are cute.
