Of course, you get standard sponge applicator, which I never use. Now...when I first saw these eye shadows, I was like...hell no! Can you see how glittery it looks? I was seriously afraid and thought, I'm not gonna like this. I was wrong. 

Once I swirled the eye shadows, the glitter was gone. Eye shadow became a really nice shimmer shades. I would actually categorize those eye shadows as metallic, because they have that pearl metallic finish to them. The shades are well pigmented, but nothing crazy good. I think the reason may be, because of that metallic finish. It also means they are a lot more wearable, than what they look like. The formula has that moist feeling to it, where they are not dry, but almost seem like a cream, when you swirl them. That results in good blend-ability. Also take into consideration that the shades kind of loose the brightness through the day. It means they become less vibrant, as I have observed, while wearing them through the whole day. It's nothing mayor, it just won't look like when you first applied it. 

First shade: pearly white.

Second shade: lavender cool toned purple.

Third shade: goldish warm yellow.

Fourth shade: warm green toned brown.

Fifth shade: warm copper brown.

The shades look a lot brighter and more intimidating in the palette then on the skin. They are a very wearable variations of colored shades, which can be used to lift up daily makeup.

I decided to apply the shades and let you see how they look like on me. Lavender purple looks too cool toned and a lot lighter on my skin than it does in the palette. I also used white shade in the inner corner of my eye. 

Yellow shade really brights up my eyes and it's also a lot lighter on the skin. 

Green based brown shade is my favorite of this palette. It looks a lot greener in the palette, but it's actually a very wearable shade of green mixed with brown tone. It looks really nice with my skin tone and I like that it's not a very obvious green, which does look a bit weird on me. 

Last, brown shade looks a lot more brown in the palette, but on me it's actually very coppery or even peach. It's the one shade that shocked me the most. I was expecting a very warm brown shade, but it's actually totally different. 

I also included some full face makeup. On the first one is my favorite green shade of the palette and on the second is copper brown shade. 

To conclude, I think the palette is pretty affordable and you get a good pigmented shades that are more on a wearable daily side. They can be used as a pop of color, mixed with other eye shadows, or mixed together to create a more colorful look. There are more shade options to choose from. I chose this one, because of the lavender shade - don't ask me what is up with me, but lately I've been craving lavender shades and I don't even understand why. So, a good palette. Nothing extraordinary, but good. 

I still have a code for 10% off on Born Pretty Store. The code is PETRAH10, if you intend on getting something.

It has been pointed out to me that numbered shades are very helpful to people, who are not that good with makeup application. It's a cheat sheet, so you know how the colors will blend together nicely. 

All the shades in this palette are shimmery, which is a damn shame. Mocha Latte palette two of my favorite matte brown shades ever.

First shade: is a very light warm pink shade with a purple undertone. It's the least pigmented in the palette. 

Second shade: is a very light lavender purple shade. It has a very cool undertone to it.

Third shade: is very dark warm toned eggplant purple shade. It's my favorite shade of the palette. It has a very lavender sheen to it, but is still pretty warm and very dark.

Fourth shade: is a dark charcoal grey shade. It's also very dark and cool toned. 

If it was up to me, I would change the grey shade for something more vibrant purple. It just seems like it doesn't fit into this palette of shades.

All the shades are very silky and they really do apply nicely and bland. I think the quality of their formula is one of the better once.

Here I used all the shades, except for the grey. I used shade 1 in the very inner corner of the eye. Then I blended shade 2 in the first third of the eye and I used shade 3 all over the entire lid and up. Honestly, the first two shades blend seamlessly together, so that it doesn't even seems like there are two shades. I don't really understand that and find it a bit boring.

I definitely like the shade 3 and use it a lot. I also love the shade 2, which is a really pretty lavender shade that I've seen on so many models for the spring 2015 makeup.  As far as the other shades go, they are not interesting or not my style. I wish I would have chosen a warmer purple palette instead of this one. But you how it is...it seems nice on the paper, but once you get it, the shades look very different. Their Mocha Latte palette is one of my most used palettes ever, so I'll just stick to that one.

The package includes a little plastic pot with eyeliner and mini eyeliner brush. It contains 4.7 grams and it costs only 3$. Perfect!

I am gonna say it right away, that I did not like the brush at all. It's a cute mini size, but it's too harsh and too dense for this kind of eyeliner. I tried putting on the eyeliner, but it was leaving two lines at the edge of both brush corners, instead of leaving nice even thin line. 

The eyeliner itself is very creamy and almost feel too thin in consistency. That means you really get some play time with it, while applying it. It also means that it could be used as a cream base for eye shadow. It really is that soft and mousse like. I thought that this couldn't possibly work, but it does. After a while (about two minutes after application) it dries. Once it's dry it will not move. Seriously. I haven't seen such a good longevity of a cream liner before. It stays put all day. I put it on my hand and took it under water and nothing. I rubbed it a little and it still stayed on its place. So in my opinion, it's definitely waterproof.

It can be used as a very precise gel liner or as an eye shadow cream base or even as a smudge eye pencil. You can really smudge it around and create perfect smoky eye.

Here I used it as a cream eye shadow base and smudged it around the lower lash line.

The shade Coffee, is a really dark brown shade. I like it, because it's not light, it's still very much a dark eyeliner shade, just a little bit less harsh. It almost has that taupe feel to it. You can see how it looks like on me. I'm usually always black liner girl, but I find this less harsher change to be very interesting. I've since used it with a few more pretty subtle makeup looks and I really like it. Now I want to buy purple version, which should really bring out my eye color. :)

This eyeliner is definitely a winner in my book. The packaging is adorable, shade is really pretty, texture is a dream to work with and it's extremely long lasting. Plus the best part - it's really cheap. What's not to love?!

I have added a new brush to my collection. It's also a really cheap one, but very soft. It's Blush Brush by Elf and it costs only 3$ (around 2.50€). The hair is synthetic and it has a nice black design. I'm not sure if the handle is plastic or wooden, but I would say plastic.

The brush is tapered and it comes to a nice point on the top. It's not as nicely seen on the photo, as it is in person. It's also pretty flat from the sides. For most, it's probably a little on the small side for a blush brush, but I think it's the perfect size. If you want to apply the brush only on the very apples of cheeks, this is the brush for you. It also means that it's pretty much perfect for highlighting, even contouring if you use it from the side. It's also good size for setting the powder with. Basically, perfect for everything. 

Brush is extremely soft. That's just how I like my brushes to be. The fact that is pretty dense and flatten it also means it doesn't split all around your face, but can actually give you a pretty intense application. I've since cleaned it a few times and it's still very soft. No hair fallout.

In my book that is a total winner. Dare I say, it can match up to some more expensive brushes?! If you have a chance, I really encourage you to buy this one. I know you won't regret the purchase, because you can really use it for so many different parts of the face and the softness will make your day.

Now I'm planning on buying the powder brush, maybe a fan brush, also regular eye shadow c brush...yeah, you get the idea. For a little over 2€, I don't mind having even more brushes, if it means bringing some softness to my face. :)
