Delightful Illusions

 


          Hello, lovely people! I hope your Christmas went really well and you spent quality time with your love ones. For today's post, I will be quickly sharing with you my introduction post for my Pan Those Eyeshadows for the year of 2024. I have posted last year my Pan Those Eyeshadows 2023 introduction but I haven't got the chance to post updates since life has gotten really hectic for me. I have said on my Project Level Up post that I have finally decided to quit my toxic job and will take a couple of months to just focus on myself and rest a little bit before going back to working. I still don't know where life will take me in 2024, but I'm always positive and hopeful. 

          I was undecided at first to do this project since I already started my Project Level Up and it would take a lot of work to combine the two eyeshadow-based project pans. Since I am a person who are fond of challenges and love to push my self out of my comfort zone, I will do both. This project has been around since 2018 and at this point, you probably know who is the creator and the basics of the rules. For this year, I will still do this randomly since I love the thrill the technique gives and I will still focus 5 shadows per round. I will give myself 24 uses per shadow before I roll them out and I will decide if I want to continue from that point or roll-in a new one.

Vice Cosmetics Justice Palette - Shadow: Brave
        
             The first eyeshadow rolled-in in this round is this metallic plum color that feel thick and super pigmented. This left a little staining on my skin, though nothing alarming since it didn't cause irritation. This is fairly new palette in my collection and I haven't used this one yet prior to the start of this project pan. I am not sure if I can hit pan on this after 24 uses, though it feel soft and somewhat putty and might move around whenever I use this. 

NOVO Elegant & Silky 16-Color Eyeshadow Palette - Shadow: #15

          Another new eyeshadow palette in my collection and you can view swatches on this Youtube Shorts I made. The panning gods want me to focus on some of my newer eyeshadow and so here we go. No complaints about that. This is a matte pale camel shade that surprisingly shows up on my eyelids. I have already used this 3 times and might be the first eyeshadow I will hit pan in this project. This feels soft, buttery and easily glide on to my skin. This buildable and shows up after two layers. I love this shade and I know I will hit pan soon. 

Focallure Tropical Vacation - Shadow: Beach

          This next eyeshadow I'm going to talk about is from my oldest palette in my collection. This is the Focallure Tropical Vacation Palette; an affordable dupe for the ABH Modern Renaissance which was sadly has been discontinued last year.  I remember loving this palette so much and buying a couple as gifts for my cousin. I used this first in 2018 and back then, the quality of these shadows are amazing. The shimmers are a little bit dry now and very lackluster compared to current shimmer formulas. Anyway, the shadow Beach was rolled-in, which is just a matte dirty white shade that I will use to set my eyeshadow primer. From my experience panning this palette, the mattes loosely-pressed and aren't difficult to hit pan on. I hope it won't take me 24 uses to reach my goal on this particular shadow.

Narimi Dead Wood - Shade: Spring Mud

          This is one of my newest eyeshadow palettes and I haven't even used this one yet. This a gorgeous palette from a Chinese independent brand called Narimi. I will post a in-depth review on this soon so you'll know the details on that upcoming post. 😄 The shadow that was rolled-in for this round is the Spring Mud which is a matte dark mauve shade that will pair really well with Brave. I'm not sure if I can hit pan on this after 24 uses since it seems to be pigmented. We will see about that.

Beauty Glazed Metamorphisis - Shade: Ace

          The last shadow that was rolled-in for this round is this shimmer orchid shade. This shadow has that cream-to-powder, putty consistency that I think I can hit pan on or before 24 uses. I have hit pan another shimmer shade in this palette so I know that these are not hard to work on. I think I can top this on Brave to make it more brighter. This shade will also pair well with Spring Mud. 


          I think I made my self a cohesive purple color unintentionally, which is surprising and lovely at the same time. 3 of these eyeshadows are from my newer palette and I have no complaints at all since I can play with them and posts reviews as well. What do you think of this color story, guys? I will post an update at the end of January or first week of February.



         So that's it for my short and sweet introduction to this project. I really do enjoy these projects and I will continue to do them as long as possible. I love the randomness that this project gives since I do love to challenge myself from time to time. I have also posted an introduction on my YouTube channel and you can view it by playing the video above. If you love the content I post, please subscribe to my channel. I will post more eyeshadow swatches there a lot other more contests. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you come back for more. I will talk to you soon. Have a nice day and stay safe always. 💖

         Hello! Who's excited for 2024? Definitely me! This year has been really tough with work and my overall mental health but the biggest plot twist I had this year was my decision to leave the work that I have loved for so many year. I realized that I wasn't passionate about it at all anymore and has become toxic. I know it was a big decision but its also equated to bravery since I value my health and myself more than my job. I can get another job but I can get another me. 💪 There are just some things that are not worth my time and I believe in myself that I can get another work that I will love, enjoy and be happy to devote my time with. 💖

Biya 9 Colors Eyeshadow Palette 102

                  To start with new beginnings, I have decided to join a different eyeshadow project pan that started by Sofie Alexandra called the Project Level Up. As per my understanding, this project is a mix between Pan Those Eyeshadows and Project No Pan Left Behind. This is a project where you basically pick a palette, whether through a random generator or you personally pick, use all of the eyeshadows then hit pan eyeshadows that corresponds to the current level you are in. For example, I am currently on Level 1 so I have to use all of the eyeshadow once then pick one shadow to pan on. If I have hit pan on my focus shadow, I can proceed to the next level and the same rules apply. Is it clear? 😅 Sofie explained the rules clearly and you can check her video (click the Project Level Up link) to see how this project works.

          I have encoded to the Tiny Decisions application all of my eyeshadow palettes that I haven't hit pan on yet and randomly generated a palette that will be my entry for Level 1. The panning gods wanted me to focus on this Biya 9 Colors Eyeshadow Palette 102 which features cool-toned eyeshadows ranging from greens, greys and browns. This is one of my newest palettes and I haven't even used this upon rolling thin in into this project. I am thankful that I have a neutral palette to start this project with since I will also be doing Pan Those Eyeshadows for 2024 and the randomly selected eyeshadows are colorful. 🙈 Please stay tuned for the introduction post.


          Upon posting this, I have already used all of the eyeshadows once and I have to say that the mattes are nothing special but they have standard formula and the blending is workable. The shimmers show up on my lids and stay long if used with an eyeshadow primer. I think I will focus on Shade No. 8 (grey sparkly shimmer) which you can see the dent I have made already. I use this on my inner lower lash line to give shimmery effects and I love the look. This has a putty consistency and I might hit pan on this pretty quickly. I hope I am not wrong!


          I have also posted a a video on my YouTube featuring this palette to showcase the swatches of the eyeshadow. Yes, I started making Shorts and planning to expand Delightful Illusions to the platform. Please check the channel and I hope you subscribe and support me. 💖Anyway, I will be posting an update maybe on the end of January or anytime I am ready to proceed to the next level. Are you also doing this project? Please share with us your link on the comment section. Thank you so much for stopping by and please come back for more posts. Since I have a lot of time, I can now focus doing more blogs and shorts. See you on the next post. Have a nice day and stay safe. 💖
