Review: I Heart Makeup Eyeliner (Dangerous Games) & Freedom Makeup Pro Refill Eyeshadow (07)

A while ago I got some new products by Freedom Makeup, I Heart makeup and a highlighter by Makeup Revolution, which I already reviewed here. Today I am posting a review of the other two products. The eyeliner and a pro refill eyeshadow. 



Freedom Makeup recently came out with their Pro Line of HD Pro Refills Eyeshadows which I assume is intendant to be used for professional use. Or at least for a regular costumer to create their own eyeshadow palette. I like the idea of it, because you can choose your shades and make your own color combination.

The pro refills come in a plastic transparent box with a black cardboard box on the outside. Eyeshadow is well protected

In each is 1.2 gram of product and the price is 3.49€ on Ličila.si


Shade 07 is a light pink with lots of white and pink glitter. I heard that some shades from this line have amazing pigmentation. This one must be one of the worse, because I had to scratch off the top layer to get anything out of it. 

Texture is hard to the touch and somewhat dry. You have to really dig in to get anything from it. It's definitely a more transparent shade, as all you get off is a pink sheen and lots of shimmer. I don't like hard to the touch eyeshadows and I certainly don't like to build it up to get good payoff.  


It looks pretty applied on the lid, but it also means that the glitter can start falling off if you don't have a good sticky base underneath. It's a very romantic shimmery shade. 

It's not all that long lasting. Through the day it fades. If you use eyeshadow primer underneath, it won't crease. Which I do with all my eyeshadows anyway. 




I Heart Makeup eyeliner comes in a pencil form with black design. It's one of those need to sharp pencils.

In it is 1.25 grams of product and the price is 3.95€ on Ličila.si.



I got it in the shade Dangerous Games which is a medium gunmetal gray with silver shimmer

Formula is very creamy. It could actually be cream eyeshadow, that's how creamy it is. Pigmentation is weak. It's a transparent shade that you have to build up in order to get full opacity. Again, not something I would love to do. 

Because it's so creamy it's great to smudge out, but you still need to really built it up in order to look good. Once it dries it actually stay in place and it didn't transfer on my lids, but if yours are very greasy, it might.


I love soft and creamy eyeliners, but this one is too much even for me. You really need to apply a lot of it in order to look opaque. It does look pretty on the eyes, for sure. But it's just too much work.




None of these impressed me. I like the concept of refills and individual eyeshadows by Freedom Makeup, but my shade 07 just didn't deliver. It's hard to the touch, you have to almost scratch the shade off and it's just too much work. Too bad, because the pink shimmery shadow is actually really pretty. Maybe go for some other shades, if you're curious. I also didn't like I Heart Makeup eyeliner, because it's too sheer for an eyeliner. It's also a bit too creamy for my liking and I mostly just hate the fact that you have to build it up in order to look opaque. Thankfully, it lasts well, because this could easily look horrific - cream that transfers to upper lid.

Review: I Heart Makeup Naked Chocolate eyeshadow palette

Hey Beauties!

When I Heart Makeup or Makeup Revolution came out with some new products, I immediately wished upon their Naked Chocolate palette. I like the shades in it and the packaging. Luckily, I got it as a gift. Lucky me, since this one has been sold out everywhere. 


It comes in this adorable white chocolate plastic palette. It looks like it's melted. There's 22 grams of eyeshadows in this palette and it costs around 10€. Depends on where you buy it. 


Inside is a huge mirror and total of 16 eyeshadow shades. In the palette are 6 matte shades and 10 shimmery shades. They are mostly neutral variants of shades and mostly warm toned, so perfect for me. 


The shades are in general very buttery. Some shades, which I categorized as very shimmery feel cream-like to the touch. Matte shades are extremely well pigmented. Shimmery shades as well. I have to say the pigmentation of this palette in general is incredible. This is probably one of the most pigmented palette in my collection. All shades blend nicely and I don't even experience any fallout with these.

The palette smells of something sweet. It doesn't smell like chocolate, it just smells sweet with touch of something strong. I don't know how to explain it. Basically, don't get it for the smell, because it's not all that.



I categorized the shades as matte, shimmery, very shimmery and satin/shimmery. Mattes are the ones that are obviously matte. Shimmery are the ones in which you can obviously see the shimmer. Very shimmery shades have bigger shimmer and feel like cream shades. And the ones categorized as satin/shimmery are those, which have that satin sheen to them, but not an obvious shimmer.

Smoothly - mate pink toned nude (cool toned)
Divine - very shimmery copper
Mocha Lover - very shimmery golden brown
Dipped - shimmery/satin taupe brown
Choc-fest - matte burgundy 


Adorable - shimmery/satin light pink nude (warm toned)
Buttons - very shimmery warm brown
Frosted Choc - very shimmery copper brown
Delight - shimmery/satin dark brown
Sweet Shop - matte warm brown
Sugar - shimmery/satin warm chocolate brown


Double Dip - very shimmery orange gold
Tob-le-rone - matte taupe
White - matte dark chocolate brown
Milky - mauve (dirty purple)
Way - very shimmery light gold


Here are some makeup looks that I created with this palette. I used all the shades, so you can see how they look like on me. 

Taupe Brown

I used Suger in the crease and in the outer corner. I also used it on the lower lash line. On the lid is Dipped and in the inner corner is Way.





Mauve

I used Milky all over the lid and then used Tob-le-rone in the crease. In the outer V I used Choc-fest.





Copper brown

I used Sweet Shop in the crease. In the outer corner of the crease I used White. On the lid is Double Dip and in the inner corner is Way. On the lower lash line I used Sweet Shop all over and White in the outer corner. 





Brown orange

I used Adorable in the inner corner. In the inner half of the lid is Divine and in the outer half is Mocha Lover. At the very outer V I used Buttons. On the lower lash line I used Mocha Lover.





Peach

In the crease I used Sweet Shop. On the lid is Frosted Choc. Delight is the shade used in the outer V corner. In the inner corner of the eye I used Smoothly and on the lower lash line is Sweet Shop.





Honestly, if you like brown, copper, taupe neutral shades, then you need to get this. All the shades are extremely pigmented, they can be mix matched very well and it's just a fool proof palette for a very affordable price. 

I will say a lot of the shades are very similar, but they are still a bit different. So I'm sure, you'll have a good use of this one. I know I love it and have been using it a lot. Thanks Sabina for getting it for me, since this one has been sold out a lot;).

Review: I ♡ (Heart) Makeup - I am Naked palette (Makeup Revolution)

Hey Beauties!

Online store Licila.si has again treated Slovenian bloggers with a new Makeup Revolution line called I Heart Makeup. I also got a beautiful eyeshadow palette along with a lipstick. I've already had a chance to try all the shades and the lipstick and I really like it. It's a perfect nude everyday palette.


The packaging is shiny black. Attracts fingertip prints like nobody's business. It has a purplish pink name on it, as it's the shade of lipstick, which is seen on the outside of the packaging. Inside there are 6 matte and shimmery shades. The packaging is pretty sturdy and small enough to be very good for travelling. It opens up with a little push on the button - so it's pretty secure. It also has a mirror inside, so very handy to travel with, indeed. 

It contains 6.5 grams of eyeshadow and 3 grams of lipstick. It costs around 9€ in Slovenia (right now it's on sale for around 6€) and 6£ on the official Makeup Revolution site. 



The packaging of the lipstick is also very shiny an purplish pink. There's a clear plastic in the middle, so the shade is seen through. At first the shade looked really brown, so I was scared it was going to be too dark. It's actually a really pretty nude shade with a peach tone to it. I would call it peachy brown nude. I really really like the shade, it's something new in my collection. The lipstick is very creamy. It gives some shine and it sits on the lips very well. It's moisturizing, but still pigmented enough. It will stick on the dry patches. I actually think the formula is pretty nice. It's something to wear on a daily basis and not worry about dry lips or smudging. It won't survive the meal, though. 






The eyeshadow range is gorgeous. It's just my type of shades. I would say it's more warm based. In my opinion, this is my kind of neutral palette

The first shade on the top left is a matte yellow toned white. It's a really nice matte shade for brightening up the eyes or brow bone. 
The one next to it is a very pale gold shade with tiny shimmer in it. It's such a gorgeous champagne like gold shade, that I love to use in the inner eye. 
The last one on the top is a perfect matte taupe shade. It has that grey undertone to it, but it looks brown. It's matte so perfect for contouring the eye. 

The first shade in the bottom half (going from left side) is a very gorgeous shimmery warm toned brown. It actually looks slightly orange toned and it's one of my favorite colors in this palette. I just love those kind of shades.
The one next to it, is again my favorite. It's a true yellow toned gold shimmery shade. You know me, I love gold. This is just the perfect gold and the shimmer in it is amazing.
The last shade is a dark chocolate brown shimmery shade, which has a definite red undertone to it. It's a great shade for darkening up the look or just using it in the outer corner of the eye.




The matte white and matte taupe shades are a bit less pigmented, as with any matte shades. The matte white shade is the least seen on the photo, also because it's the lightest. All the shades feel very silky, especially matte shades. The shimmery shades are extremely pigmented and have a heavier wetter feeling to them. I think the quality of the shades is very good and the palette has a really nice range of shades. It's a fool proof palette, even for someone who doesn't know much about make up. All the shades look very cohesive and all combinations would work. 

On the photos below I used the pale gold shade with tiny shimmer in the inner corner of the eye. I put a true gold shimmery shade all over the center of the lid. In the crease I used taupe shade. I darkened the outer corner with the dark chocolate brown shade and I also used a bit of matte white on the brow bone. I also used the matte taupe shade on the lower lid.

I'm also wearing the lipstick from this palette. 





Here I'm wearing the shimmery brown shade all over the lid. I also used matte white in the outer corner of the eye and matte taupe shade on the lower lid.



I love this palette. The shades are exactly my kind of shades, the pigmentation is good, the shades apply like a dream and I'm also very much liking the peachy nude lipstick, which is a nice change in my nude range of lipsticks. I highly recommend this palette to anyone who wants a basic travel friendly neutral palette. The price is also not bad, if you get it on sale - even better.

Now here's the surprise. Licila.si were kind enough to offer my readers FREE POSTAGE (use the code BLOG-POSTNINA) until the end of August. So, now's the time to dig up those favorites on your browser and finally order them. I know you probably have something looked up, I know I do too.

Thank you Ličila again, for a really nice treat;).

What do you think of this palette? What's your favorite shade here?


Za vse slovenske bralke še kratek prevod. Od trgovine Ličila.si smo blogerke pred kratkim prejele novo linijo Revolution Makeup makeupa. Jaz sem dobila I Heart paletko v odtenku I am Naked. 

Embalaža je sijoče črna z vijoličasto roza napisom. Tak je tudi odtenek embalaže šminke, ki je vidna skozi paleto. Znotraj se nahaja 6 mat in svetlikajočih odtenkov senčil in en odtenek šminke. Embalaža se odpre s pritiskom na gumb in je precej trdna, ter super za potovanja. Vsebuje tudi ogledalo, kar je izjemno priročno za na pot.

Šminka je čudovit marelično nude rjavkast odtenek. Ima topel oranžkast podton. Odtenek mi je izjemno všeč, ker nimam nič podobnega v svoji nude zbirki. Tekstura šminke je zelo kremasta, lahka za nanosi in dobro vlaži ustnice. Ustnicam daje sijaj. Zagotovo šminka, ki je primerna za vsakodnevno uporabo.

Senčila so odličnih nevtralnih odtenkov z toplim podtonom. Prvi odtenek od zgoraj (od leve proti desni) je mat rumeno baziran bel odtenek. Naslednji ima rahel shimmer in je rumeno baziran svetlo zlat odtenek. Zadnji v zgornji vrsti je zopet mat in sicer perfektna rjava, ki ima sivkast podton. Spodaj (od leve proti desni) je čudovit rjav odtenek s shimmrom. Naslednji odtenek je zopet zelo svetljikajoč in sicer čudovit rumeno baziran zlat odtenek. Zadnji odtenek v tej vrsti je rjava v odtenku temne čokolade, ki ima rahlo rdečkast podton.

Vsi odtenki se odlično nanašajo, so zelo svilnati na dotik. Predvsem mat odtenka. Svetljikajoči odtenki so seveda bolj pigmentirani kot mat in delujejo bolj "težko" oziroma dajejo občutek mokrote v primerjavi s satenastim občutkom mat odtenkov. 

Paleta mi je izjemno všeč in menim, da je super za vsakogar, ki si želi nevtralno paleto z doličnim naborom senčk in nevtralnim odtenkom šminke za zraven. 

Paletko lahko kupite na Ličila.si. Vsebuje 6.5 gramov senčil in 3 grame šminke. Po navadi je cena paletke okrog 9€, zdaj pa jo lahko dobite za 5.95€. 

Pa še presenečenje...Ličila.si so prijazno ponudila bralkam mojega bloga BREZPLAČNO POŠTNINO (uporabi kodo BLOG-POSTNINA) do konca avgusta. Zdaj pa le pohitite in pobrskajte po zaznamkih, kaj vse ste si želele kupiti. Ni boljše priložnosti kot zdaj. Sama imam prav tako nagledanih nekaj izdelkov;).

Hvala Ličila;)
