Delightful Illusions


         Merry Christmas! How are you guys? I have been enjoying my Christmas break and I am just so excited to post more blogs. It is also nice to have a long break because this year has been fully loaded, especially at work and some personal stuff that has happened to me. Anyway, I am sharing with you today my first update on my Pan Those Eyeshadows 2020. To be honest, I have not hit pan on anything yet even though I have used majority of these whenever I wear makeup. I am not sad though, I have hit pan on two complimentary shades which was included on one of the palettes that is currently participating on this project. Please keep on reading if you want to see my progress. :)


Focallure Tropical Vacation - Wax
          This matte cream shade will take like maybe two months for me to hit pan on. I only use shades like this to set my eyeshadow primer and to blend transition shades whenever they go too dark. I have made so much progress on this shadow but I still haven't made a deep dent on this. I am thinking of using a different, the one that has pointed shape, so I could dig on this shadow more. Isn't that kind of cheating or just a mere strategy? I honestly could not tell you guys. Haha! I am hoping to hit pan on this by end on January. 

Focallure Tropical Vacation - Empire

          The next shade is also from the same Focallure eyeshadow palette. This is a shimmery reddish brown, sort of berry shade that I wasn't even using before starting this project. As I have used this more and more, I have come to love this and I use this most of the times as an over all lid shade. This shade pairs well with the matte pink shade that is included on this project (which I will talk about in a moment) and I am wearing the combination most of the times. I love wearing berry-toned looks I really really love this shade now and I think this now my favorite shade from this palette. The formula of this is somewhat like gel-like, somewhat wet and kind of oily but is pigmented. I know I have made a lot of progress on this one and I have made a substantial dip on the product. I may hit pan on this before January ends. 

Pudaier Milky Way - Silver Light
          This the shadow that I have said I will hit pan first on my Pan Those Eyeshadows introduction post because it's powdery and loosely packed. Do you see the pan? Not yet, eh? I have underestimated this shadow's formula; this is so pigmented that I only need to dip my brush on this shadow once and it enough to cover the entire crease area. I have used this every single time and I still haven't hit the pan. Haha! It such a beautiful matte mauve-pink shade that is perfect transition shade for warm tone eye looks and this pairs well the Empire shadow which I have previously talked about. I think that I can hit pan on this shadow as well before the January ends.

Focallure Tropical Vacation - Heat
          This is another shadow from the Focallure palette and it is a matte brown shade with orange undertone. To be honest, I don't use this that much because it overwhelms me and and looks orange on my eye lids. I don't need two transition shades on a single look that is why I use Silver Light more as a transition shade. I have used this a handful times; I have used this as all over the lid shade, sometime on the lower lash line or pairing it with Silver Light whenever I feel like have a super warm crease. I am thinking of using this as a blush whenever I am wearing a warm eye look. What do you think, guys? I don't think I would hit pan on this by the end of January but I will do my best to use this as much as I can.

Beauty Glazed Uranus - Shimmery pine green


          Lastly, I have using this shimmery dark pine green shade as a liner, sometimes on the outer corner to darken a look, or smoking this on the lower lash line as an accent color. I love this shade and am imaging wearing this as an all over lid shade but I am bit hesitant. It is a little bit too much for work and I don't know what outfit to much on a monotone green smokey look. Do you have any ideas or suggestions, guys? I have made a pretty good dip on this shadow but I have no idea how deep the pans of Beauty Glazed pressed eyeshadows. I might continue to use this as an eyeliner in order for me pan on this faster. I hope that's not cheating. Haha! I am hoping to hit pan on this by the end of January as well.

Focallure Tropical Vacation - Moscow
         As I have said earlier, I may not hit pan on anything yet but I have two eyeshadows that I have hit pan on this month because I used them as complimentary shades. Moscow is a matte brown taupe shade that I have used on my brows and also on the outer-v and crease to darken the looks I created. I love pairing this with Silver Light and Empire as they create a grungy berry-toned look and I love wearing them for everyday look. I have also hit pan on another shade from the same palette and it's this shimmery cream shade called Taro. I have used this on as an inner corner highlight for everyday and that's the only reason I have hit pan on this shadow. This is nothing special but it ties my eye look so well. It feels so good to hit pan on a shadows that are not part of any project pans because it gives a different kind of satisfaction. It doesn't feel being forced at all.

Focallure Tropical Vacation - Taro


        This is one of the eye looks I created using this eyeshadow quintet. I haved used Heat all over the lids on smoked it on my lower lash line. Then, I used the shimmery dark pine green shade as an eyeliner and they looked good together. I just wish that the camera have picked up the eye look really so you could see what I mean. I might do this again whenever I feel like a quick eyeshadow look.


                 

                  

        Another look that I created using this quintet is this berry tone look that I wear almost every single day. I use Silver Light as a transtion shade, Moscow on the crease and outer-v, Empire all over the lids and Taro on inner corners. 

           I am enjoying this project at the current moment and I can't wait to hit pan on shades so that I could roll-in different shadows and explore color combinations. Have you also been enjoying your Pan Those Eyeshadows as well? If you have tips, tricks, and suggestions regarding project pans, please let us know so that we will all be successful on doing this project. I hope you have enjoyed this post because I really enjoyed making this update. Thank you for stopping by. Please stay tuned for more contents this upcoming year. Have a nice day. Stay safe. Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

          Hey, guys! As you can see, I will sharing with my thoughts and opinions on another eyeshadow palette. You know, I have been buying a lot of eyeshadow palettes this year and I have pending reviews that I need to post soon. What can I do? I love sharing budget beauty finds because I am really happy to score on affordable makeup products with superb quality. I was immediately interested and have bought this Beauty Glazed Lemon Eyeshadow Palette the moment I they posted this on their official Instagram account. I was wowed and so I added this to my card when this posted for sale on Shopee (shop here). 


          This palette is a dupe (allegedly) for the Coulourpop Uh Huh Honey palette and I think that they are similar, but not enough to be a complete duplicate. If you have seen my Beauty Glazed Uranus Palette review which is supposed to be a dupe for a Huda Beauty Palette, you know that this brand doesn't exactly copy the shades of high end palettes. They imitate the tones and shades, kind of tweaking some colors, but never ever exactly copying an entire palette. I salute that and that is why I keep on buying these palettes and I really love that don't compromise quality despite of their affordability. I bought this for only Php 126 which I love since I don't want to spend Php 900 for a yellow eyeshadow palette that I won't use everyday.

Ingredients list

          Beauty Glazed's eyeshadow formula is my favorite since they feel smooth and buttery, super pigmented and vibrant, easy to apply and long lasting on the eyes. I love the fact that they are consistent all through their palettes and still maintaining affordable prices. Anyway, I don't have the Colourpop Uh Huh Honey, but I can see from the pictures that this palette has more deeper shades and some of these have orange undertones. I love this palette but you can only create yellow-toned looks from this and they look all similar once applied. 


Isn't she stunning?


1st Row
          The first row consists matte mustard yellow, mettalic pale yellow, and matte neon yellow shades. These are all easy to apply and blend but the matte neon yellow kind of lacks pigmentation and vibrancy. I think that I would be needing to apply 2-3 layers in order to achieve maximum opacity. The matte mustard shade is so nice to use as a transition shade. The metallic pale yellow looks so pretty as inner corner highlight and I can't get enough of it.

2nd row
          The second row consists of metallic yellow gold, yellow pressed glitter, and metallic fiery peachy gold shades. I have not yet used the yellow gold, but the peachy gold is so stunning on the eyes! I loved how it looked so good on my brown eyes and it made my eyes looked warmer. I have also not yet used the glitter shadow since I can't really wear them for work. I might try this someday for a party of special occasion.

3rd row
          The third row consists of 3 matte shades: deeper mustard, yellow and light brown (with yellow undertone). I apologize because I really such at describing shades. Haha! Anyway, I have used the yellow and light brown on my lids together and the looked the stunning. The brown shade doesn't really look brown at all and they don't look muddy when blended. I haven't used the mustard shade yet because it looks very similar to the mustard shade on the first row.


Sunshine on my eyes


         Last Wednesday, I decided to play with this palette again. I used the mustard yellow as transition shade the matte yellow as a crease shade. I blended them well together and I loved the effect that they created. I used the light brown shade, blended it on my outer-v so that it would create depth and dimension to the look. Then, I decided to apply the light brown all over the lids to serve a base shade on metallic shade that I applied on top of it. I used the peachy gold shade all over the lids and it looked so beautiful! So fiery! I used the metallic pale yellow shade and it completed the look.


Super duper love it!
         I also used the light brown and matte yellow shades on the lower lash line. I applied a black liquid liner on the lash line, the matte pencil black liner on my tightline and waterline. Since the shadows are bright, a black liner is a good contrast and it emphasizes the yellow shadows even more. I paired the eye look with a warm brown lips to complement the eyes. What do you think, guys?  Did it much well?

          I love this palette and the formula that this has. I definitely recommend this palette if you want to try a all-yellow eyeshadow looks or if you want to play with colored shadows without paying for a lot of money. This is not an eyeshadow palette to be used everyday, but if you are fond of collection eyeshadow palettes and want to use colored shadows from time to time, this a good addition to your stash. It's affordable, easy to use and has a great quality.

        Have you tried Beauty Glazed eyeshadows? What do you think of them? I definitely love the two palette that I tried and plan to buy the bigger palettes. They are so affordable and the quality is unbelievable. I hope you enjoyed this post and find it helpful in deciding if you want to try this palette or not. I have upcoming reviews to be posted and I hope you stay tuned. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a nice day. Stay safe! XOXO

      Recently, I have been buying a lot of colorful eyeshadows from online shops. One of those colorful palettes is this Beauty Glazed Uranus Bright Eyeshadow aka their version or duplicate (allegedly) of the Huda Beauty Emerald Obsessions Palette. This palette has caught my eyes the moment I saw this being reviewed by the talented Ms. Tammy Clarke (here's her review) on YouTube. She came up with a really nice look from this palette and so I was curious of the formula    and decided to try it for myself. So, last month, I saw this palette from Shopee and bought from the apink,ph's shop (shop here) because they have a sale going on and their price is lower compared to others.  This was shipped from China and I was so thankful that seller packed this palette with my other purchases with care. :)

Background Information


         We can see here that Beauty Glazed has similar packaging with the Huda Beauty's gem stone eyeshadow collection (is that what was it called?). They copied the color scheme, shape of the packaging, the shape of the pans, and even the order of the shades. I don't have the Huda Beauty one so I wasn't able to compare the two side by side, but from the looks of it, this palette has brighter and neon green shades compared to the Huda Beauty Emerald Palette. Just like what this palette states, "Bright Eyeshadow". Haha! I don't what Beauty Glazed did, but it seems to me that they kind of tweaked some shades just a little bit so their version won't be a spot on dupe of the HB Emerald Palette. To be quite honest with you, I prefer this palette because the eyeshadows look so vibrant and feel so smooth when you touch them.


        This palette is lightweight; the packaging is made of cardboard and each shadow contains 1.4 grams. I think for the price of Php 149, this palette is so worth it. We can also see from the ingredient list that these shadow don't contain any parabens, which is good because we don't want ingredients that could contribute to cancer. This claims to be cruelty free too, they even have the PETA logo, but I'm not sure about that. This product is made from mainland China and we don't if they sell this product in China or not. We always need to verify before we can trust a brand if they are really cruelty free or not, right? :)


Swatches and Performance


Swatches with flash
        So let's talk about the shadows themselves and how they perform. As I have said earlier, this palette has brighter shades and they look vibrant. Upon swatching them, I felt the smooth texture they all contain. Yes, they are soft and the mattes are powdery, but their pigmentation is screaming brightly and loudly. To be honest, the formula of this Beauty Glazed eyeshadow palette is better that Focallure eyeshadows. Why do I say this? It is because these shadows are easy to apply, they blend out nicely (i'm not saying that Focallure shadows are not), brushes pick up they shadows nicely and they apply on lids with so much pigmentation. Though the Focallure ones are pigmented as well, most of their shimmer and metallic shadows need a 2nd or 3rd layer in able for the full effect to be achieved. 
They are little powdery but very smooth and pigmented
         Now, I'm not gonna compare how these shadows work on different eye primers because I really don't think that's necessary. Eyeshadows will perform well and will stay all day if you have a high-performing base or primer, okay? Speaking of eye primers, I only have on that I am currently using and that is the Wet N' Wild Photfocus Eyeshadow Primer which I adore so much and helps all of my eyeshadows stick on my lids all throughout the day and is good on keeping my lids being oily. Anyways, as I have said earlier, these shadows are soft and powdery but are incredibly pigmented. I use a light hand when using these shadows and thoroughly applying/blending them on my eyes. I also love that they don't look muddy when blended beside each other. I also love the fact that each eyeshadow are distinct enough to avoid looking repetitive. 

1st row (natural light)
        The first row consist of 2 metallic shades and 1 matte. The first shade is more of metallic Yellow Green that looks cute on the inner corners or maybe as a topper. The second shade is a matte Pale Green which I have not used yet, to be honest, but I think this will nice as an eyelid shadow with black winged liner or something. The last shade from this row is a metallic Spring Green kind of vibe which is supper pretty on lids and gives that soft and awake look. 

2nd row (natural light)
     The 2nd row consist of darker green shades and has 2 metallic and 1 matte eyeshadows. The first one is more of a forest green shade, it's kind of green shade that I associate with witches. The second shade leans more on the blue side, but I can consider this as a teal or turquoise shade. I have yet to use this shade and maybe I can create tutorials with this palette. The last one is this matte sea green, it looks brighter and leans more on the neon side when you see this in person. I have used this on my leads too and looks vivid on my eyelids. I will show looks that I have created using this palette before I end this post. 

3rd row (natural light)
      The last row consist of neutral and wearable shadows. This first one is a matte warm shadow that pairs well with this palette's color scheme. I love how Beauty Glazed changed this shadow into warm brown because it creates balance, depth, and dimensions to the looks being created using this palette. This middle shades is an olive green shade and I freaking love this so much. Looks good with my brown eyes! The last shade in this palette is this pale lime green shade that looks more yellowy but still coordinates well with the rest of the shadow. This is so pretty on the inner corners!

Swatches on natural light
        These are the shadows swatched in order and according to their row. I cannot stress enough how good they are and that they have great quality despite of being affordable.

Looks





      The first time I used this eyeshadow palette, I have created a full-on green eyeshadow look. I applied the warm shadow as my transition shade, then I took a matte dark green shadow (from another palette which I may took about soon) and smoked it on my outer corners and blended some on my crease. After which, I applied the dark shimmer shade all over my lids and applied the spring green on the center and topped it with the yellow green shade. I cannot remember exactly, but I think that I also used the yellow green shade on my inner corners. I applied the matte sea green on my lower lash line and connected it to the shadow I applied on my outer corners. I loved this look so much and I might re-create this one day and do a step by step tutorial. What do you think guys?




        The second look I created with this palette is a wearable one and looked really warm. For this look, I wanted the olive green to be the star of the show and it really did. This was simple look; I used all of the shades on the last row and it created a nice look. I took the warm brown shade and applied it on my crease. Then, I applied the olive green all over my lids. I love how it paired well with the warm brown! I applied the warm shade on my outer v and lower lash line and connected them. Lastly, I took the pale lime green shade and applied it on my inner. This is my favorite look so far and I am hoping to create more.

        Overall, I think this palette is worth a shot and is really worth for what I paid for. I wish that these shades have names because mentioning a shade's name is kind of exhausting and redundant, but since it has an affordable price, I ain't complaining at all. I plan collecting all of the "duplicate" palettes from this brand on the future and see if the others are consistent and mirrors the quality of this palette. I also plan on getting more palettes from Beauty Glazed. Do you have any suggestions, guys? :) I recommend this palette if you're in a hunt for affordable colorful palettes. 

         I guess this is it for today's post. I really wish that I can upload every single week but I feel tired all of the time and just want to take a break on weekends and relax my mind just a little bit. I have been saving a lot of my energy for something and feels good to sleep before midnight. I'll talk to you whenever I can and as always, please leave a comment if you have any suggestions, opinions, requests, or questions. Have a nice and let some optimism enter your doors. Stay safe y'all. XOXO
