My Experience with Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion:


Packaging: This baked trio eyeshadows come in a beautiful rounded eyeshadow palette with a transparent glass lid opening that makes it easy to view the shades from outside. They have provided a double tipped brush applicator which is bent and small. I loved the packaging the the applicator brush is of okay-okay quality.

Colour, Texture & Pigmentation: This peach passion trio consists of three shades; one is a deep chocolate brown with tiny shimmers, the next one is a peachy pink shade with shimmers and the last one, looked like an off white shade with tiny pink and purple shimmers on it. Among these three shades, the brown is the most pigmented one and shows up very well. The peachy pink one doesn't show up as brown and makes the palette bit messy with its fallout and the last shade, doesn't show up at all no matter how many times I swipe it; it hardly shows on my lid. When tried wet, these three has a good color pay off. They all have a smooth texture and spreads smoothly over the eyelids.

How they work: We have already discussed about the shades and pigmentation; so let me come straight to its staying power. The staying power varies from shade to shade. All these three have different staying powers. The deep pigmentation brown with shimmers, stays good for 6-7 hours and even more when used wet. The two other shades, I cannot clearly guess their staying power as they didn't show well fist of all. The shimmers are visible, but subtle on the lids making these shades look natural. I always loved this deep brown shade personally and overall, I am happy with this eyeshadow palette. Though this is not a best one for the price, the quality of the shades are good; I am just simply not satisfied about the pigmentation of the other two shades.

Sorry I don't remember what I have done with these trio shades :P This was clicked long ago; but I just mixed and matched all the three shades to present this EOTD.

CONS of Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion:

  • Expect the brown one, the other two shades are badly pigmented when used dry
  • I expected a little more staying power, atleast for the price
  • The peachy pink shade that contains more shimmers, causes fallout and make the palette messy.

Nope I wont; but I am definitely eying out for the other shades from their brand which are more pigmented compared to this.

Do I Recommend Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion?: 
I am not sure. If you would like to have one well pigmented shade and two other subtle soft shades on your trio to make a subtle eye makeup look, this might be your perfect pick.

In The Spotlight: MAC Club Eye Shadow

Welcome to another edition of "In The Spotlight" and today we are featuring MAC Club eye shadow. When you google MAC Club, you come across mixed reviews about this shade and almost negligible reviews from Indian blogs. We Indians are I guess still exploring the possibilities with makeup and tend to walk on the safe path... Especially for products that cost the earth, we like to checkout reviews online extensively and look at swatches after swatches and then finally go with a shade that seems to be the most popular with all beauty bloggers... We all end up with similar shades of eye shadows like Naked Lunch, Mythology, Expensive Pink, Cork, Carbon Black, Folie, Texture, Rice Paper to name a few...


Now this doesn't quite work for me... Why, I don't know but it just doesn't... Now am not saying don't read reviews on beauty blogs, rather if I said that then I would be putting my feet on the "kulhari" myself :P But what I want to tell you all is that read reviews about a product, but check out swatches in person at the store... For example, review of one MAC eye shadow will be the same for all eye shadows! They are awesome! PERIOD... Browse through various EOTDs but swatch them on yourself before yo buy it cause when you go on a swatching spree at MAC you discover hidden jewels like Nylon, Club, Patina, Green Smoke, Ego, Honesty to name a few :)

So anyways, I got myself this magical eye shadow quite a while back and have even reviewed it here...
REVIEW OF MAC CLUB



The "magical" thing about this eye shadow is that on its own its a pretty, light mossy green eye shadow but when you apply it over a black base, then the shade of green that it takes on is just plain exotic and mysterious :)

Take a look at my EOTD below... It's an attempt at smokey eye and quite a good one that too... Yup I have always been the humble one ;) Now would you believe it if I said that only one shadow i.e. MAC Club has been used to create this smokey eye and no other eye shadow.. Not even black... Yes of course I have used a highlighter shade but thats it! The dimensions this eye shadow gives you is just unparalleled and I am totally smitten by it...




 
Do let me know what you think of the EOTD and the eye shadow :)
