Review - Sephora Colorista Custom Makeup Palette (Mother's Day Gifts)

Hi girls!

I got this palette over a month ago as a gift from my boyfriend and I wanned to try it out thoroughly before I could give you my honest opinion about it.

What Sephora claims:

"The Colorista palette gives you a spectacular range of colors, including a balanced mix of wearable nudes, stylish runway-inspired shades, and bold colors. When at home, keep the sleek black case nearby for exactly the right hue when you need it. For your purse, choose eight of your favorite colors and pop them into the customizable compact. Made with quality ingredients, each eye shadow is highly pigmented; the blushes and bronzes blend easily."

What I LOVE about this palette:

- It comes with a mini-palette which comes in very handy for traveling or just carrying around in your bag;

- Both palettes come with a very good mirror;

- Variety of colors and textures - a lot of nudes, greens, purples, blues, greys / shimmery, matte etc.;

- Complete makeup with just one palette (you have 40 eye shadows, 5 cream eyeliners, 15 lipglosses, 4 blushes and 2 bronzers );

- Almost all the eye shadows are highly pigmented and easy to blend (the darker ones are super pigmented);

- The eye shadows are pretty long-lasting even without a primer (i have slightly oily lids and I've used them on hot summer days);

What I DON'T LIKE about this palette:

- Some of the eye shadows are very sheer;

- The eyeliners are very easy to apply (creamy) but not very pigmented and they wear off very easy - which makes them very bad bases for your eye shadows as well as for wearing them just on your lash line;

- The lipglosses  are pretty sheer and somewhat sticky;

- The "gold" in the palette has a lot of silver flecks in it and it's very hard to apply;

- It only has 2 (amazing though) matte blushes (pink and something like a "brick" brown-reddish color), the rest of them are VERY shimmery with a lot of gold sparkles in them;

- Because the blushes are so narrow it's very hard to only grab one color on your brush;

- You can't apply those lipglosses with your fingers because they get ruined  so u have to use a brush;

Overall I would probably give it an 8.5 out of 10.

Hope you enjoyed this!

I'm back!

Hi girls!

I know I've been gone for a long time but I was out of town on vacation and I decided to just enjoy the fresh air and have lots of fun with no internet :D It was hard at first, I admit but it was all worth it in the end.

Today I have a special thank you for Karina she is such a nice person and I won one of her giveaways a few weeks back and I received the gift today and I wanned to share it with you guys.

It's a custom made eye shadow palette from BeautiesFactory and the eye shadows were chosen by Karina. I love the colors and it completes my collection so far. But I will stop here and let the pictures talk since I will be making a review of these eye shadows after I had some time to play around with them.

She was also kind enough to add a little touch to the package by writing me a very nice card.

           The palette comes with a big mirror and a place for a brush but I haven't tried fitting one in yet.

There is only one matte eye shadow in the palette, the rest of the them are frosty which I can't say it bothers me but for me these don't look as good as the matte ones do. In any case I adore the colors and how pigmented they are and I'm sure I'll make some awesome looks with this palette especially since the eye shadows are sooo big! I'll be having this for  long long time :D

That is it for now! Take care you all!

xoxo,
