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. 💖

                Hey, guys! I'm baaaaack. It's been a really long time since I posted. The past couple of years have been really been difficult and I just didn't have the motivation to post and do my makeup. Major things happened like being unemployed last year, starting my little baking from scratch and dealing with a person whom I though I'm gonna end up with but ended up gaslighting for almost a year. If you are interested, you can read more on this Instagram post of mine. Anyway, I have been doing a of healing since the beginning of the year, I have met new great friends that have been motivating me to keep going and I have also met someone new that helped greatly with this journey. That being said, I have decided to go back blogging because I found my motivation again and I think I am ready to this again with new and fresh products to talk about. <3       

Zeesea x British Museum Alice in Wonderland - Purple Plate

                For today's post, I am going to share with you this amazing 9-pan eyeshadow palette from my newly discovered brand this year, the Zeesea Cosmetics. This brand's product quality if unbelievably great for the price range they offer. The first product that has really caught my attention was their eyeshadow palettes and I'm guilty of collecting almost half of them. Their mattes are so pigmented and easy to blend and their shimmer shades are some of the most sparkly I have ever seen. 
               
Yes, we are all mad! And that's okay. :)

             From all of their eyeshadow palette series, I think this 9-pan collection is  my most favorite. I  have 4 of these and Purple Plate palette has the most unique color story.  I have used this last weekend for the first time and I immediately fell in love. The shimmers are so buttery and creamy and sparkly, I just want to slather them all of my lids. This palette may seem light but the shades are buildable and can be layered for more opacity.

Look at those details. Cheshire Cat looks so cute! :)

                From left to right, 1st to 3rd row, let's talk about each of the shades:

Shade 1 - matte beige shade. Perfect for highlighting brow bones and blending harsh lines.
Shade 2 - matte muted pale lavender shade. I haven't tried this on my eyelids yet but I used this as a highlight on my inner lower lash line and it looked very pretty. It helped brighten my eye look.
Shade 3 - pale pink shimmer with purple shift. This shade has flaky texture and is very crumbly. It doesn't have a strong base but is verry stunning as an eyeshadow topper. 
Shade 4 - matte pale mauve. I used this as a transition shade and it showed on my skin after two layers. 


Shade 5 - metallic gold with purple undertone. This is the star of the show! It's one of those duo-chrome eyeshadows with stained glass effect. This looks more golden on my lids but paired with shade 3, it looks more purple. The combo is so stunning!
Shade 6 - matte plum shade. This is the darkest shade in the palette and this is the one I used on my outer-v. I layered this twice and it gave me that smokey-eye effect. So cool. I wanna wear that look again.
Shade 7 - shimmery plum shade with purple glitters. I have yet to try this shade on my lids yet. But I tried layering with Shade 3 on my wrist and I really liked the outcome. 
Shade 8 - matte lilac shade. I paired this with Shade 4 on my crease and it looked so good. I has a nice payoff and I think it would show on darker skin as well.
Shade 9 - matte peach shade with gold glitters. I haven't tried this one yet but I think it would look nice as a blush shade. 


                    Obviously, I haven't done a lot of look with this palette yet. I think that this such a unique purple palette though. Upon looking at the shade, you would think that it would just make light eyeshadow looks but I was surprised that I was able to make a smokey look with this one. I think a lot of people who haven't tried this one yet will really enjoy this palette. The quality is incredible and texture on the mattes are buttery and blendable. This is the best purple eyeshadow palette I have ever tried yet and I recommend to buy this first instead of the other variants.  

          Please play the video above to see the shifts on the shadows. The pictures haven't done justice showing just how beautiful this palette is. You can buy this on their official website but the Zeesea Official Store on Shopee always give great discounts; that's where I bought all of their palettes. I have 3 more from this line that I have yet to show you so stay tuned for that. Have you guys tried any of Zeesea eyeshadow palettes? What do you guys think of them? Please let us know by leaving a comment. :) I hope you enjoyed this chill review post because there's a lot to come in 2023. Thank you so much for stopping by and I will talk to you soon. Have a nice. <3
