So me being me, I got myself a new eyeshadow palette because (1) i want to do my own grad makeup and (2) it was on sale, P700 (from P900) with free shipping from Cebu!! (from fabcloset). It was their last piece, so if you ever want to get the same palette, try your luck with Coastal Scent’s Metal Mania Palette ($24.95), or Dollface Cosmetic’s Dollface Palette (P1200). These  three are identical, it was just that mine’s generic, reasonably priced, and on sale. :)

I’d been not-literally drooling over shimmer palettes and this one is so darling! I don’t get to use my 88 Matte Palette often because i stick with my neutrals as much as possible. The screaming vibrant blues, greens, pinks, purples and whatnot of my matte palette are virtually untouched :/ 

The formulation is shimmer — something i used to avoid before because as you can see above, it reflects light thus washes out under flash. Shimmer eyeshadows are also more prone to breaking and fallouts, so take care when carrying this around with you. BUT I DON’T CARE THIS IS SUCH A DARLING TREAT FOR THE EYES! And oh, one good thing about shimmers is that they’re easier to blend and last longer too.

What’s nice about this palette is that the shimmers aren’t necessarily the same color as the shadow; my favorite pot is the 3rd one down from the leftmost. It’s cream, yet the shimmer is pearlized pink!

These closeups are fail; I can’t stress how awesome they are in person! Shimmery, sheeny, subtle bits of sassiness! I’m totally obsessed ;D

The palette has a generous mix of sultry neutrals and flirty pastels. Colors include creams, browns (bronzes, coppers), oranges (from burnt to light), dull pinks (roses, salmons, berries), violets (mauves, lilacs, lavenders and purples) warm greys, warm thistle blues, deep olives and one forest green. The scarcity in cool colors make this one a winner for warm-toned ladies like me! Also, the lack of screaming, vibrant hues and it being rich in dull colors make it very useable by fair-skinned lasses (again, like me. Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang haha.) Note though that this palette DOES NOT have black; I have a separate black eyeshadow for use with my gel liner.

And any pot goes along with every pot! Everything is a color combination :)

Trying to get as close as possible to capture the shimmer and how purty it is in person but these photos do it no justice. :) <333

+10 macro filter and still so much fail

Everything is encased in a black, matte, sturdy plastic and no unreliable push-release buttons, unlike the old palettes which were shiny and came with the stinky button that’s prone to coming loose. On the inner side of the lid is a big mirror and two foam applicators which are pretty useless.

So yes! Out of the wide range of 88/72/96/120 palettes available, this is probably the most useable (2nd would be the 88 Warm Palette), i’m getting rid (ehem, selling) of my original 88 palette soon!

So i bought an essential pair of black 4-inch heels and no hindi po ako mag-aaral sa St. Paul, kailangan ko lang po talaga ng black na high heels.

I wanted to get the 6-inch platforms pero siyempre when i tried it on i walked like a baby giraffe. Di ko talaga maiintindihan ang high heels!

Of course, suportahan ang gawang pinoy so i got this pair from S&H, it’s a brand that i saw at the SuperSale Bazaar but too bad they didn’t have anything that I might like at that time.

And also dahil gwaps yung SA na nag-assist sakin. And also also because P999.75 lang siya at black at 4-inches.

But yes since di naman ako heels let alone pumps wearer, i’m usually size 8.5, sometimes i get 9, 8, 7.5 pero waw ha high heels size 6 ako?! improvement!
