SIGMA Cor-De-Rosa Palette

I first saw this palette in one of Porcelain’s (Bridgette) YouTube videos and I instantly fell in love with it! I tried to find it online to buy it, but it wasn’t actually available yet. So I had to wait a bit, but I finally got my hands on this beauty. I believe Cor-de-Rosa means Pink in Portuguese.
The packaging is long and rectangular in shape. It is made out of peachy pink cardboard and it has a rose gold rose design all over the front with the brand and palette names printed in white font. It has a magnetic opening/closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged on a warm beige base. The eyeshadow shade names are printed under each pan in a metallic copper font. There is also a small long rectangular mirror. You can purchase it for £39.00 ($49.00) from SigmaBeauty.com, FeelUnique.com, BeautyBay.com and LookFantastic.com.
You get fourteen 1.16g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes.

You also get a dual ended eyeshadow brush; E38 Diffused Crease Brush and E54 Medium Sweeper Brush, which is under a two year warranty.
 
The eyeshadows should be buildable, blendable and highly pigmented. The palette is cruelty-free, but not vegan (contains Carmine).
 
I love the packaging, overall design and colour story. The pigmentation is great; I do still recommend using eye primer/glitter glue. The matte shades are buildable and blend quite nicely. Two of the metallic shades were a little hard to use (High Society & Dark Night). They are really dry in texture and it was very hard to apply. I tried using my finger and a brush and it didn’t make much difference. I dampened my brush a little and then they worked slightly better. The metallic shade Campfire is a different texture to the other metallic shades and this shade is stunning and worked like I would expect a metallic to. There was only slight kick-back from the matte shades in the pans; this isn’t an issue for me. You only get a little fallout from the metallic shades that contain glitter. My favourite shades are; Belle of the Ball, Sunsprite and Hybrid. The brush works great too. They have synthetic bristles, which are my favourite kind of bristles for make-up brushes. It’s a great addition to the palette. Overall, I like the palette but I feel let down by the metallic shades a little. The two metallic eyeshadows that are near enough too dry to use are pretty important shades to the palette to be able to create diverse looks, not really being able to use them/getting them to work is a pain. I wouldn’t really recommend the palette based on the metallic shades.

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters #2

When I first heard that KALEIDOS was releasing a new Space Age highlighter, I knew I would be getting it! They have also updated the packaging of all of the highlighter tins and they reformulated Mars Melter. They were re-stocking all of the highlighters on Monday 9 th November 8pm PST, so that was Tuesday 10 th November 4am for me! I stayed up waiting for the website to be live and I finally got my hands on Sky Walker and I also picked up the reformulated Mars Melter and the new Space Age Prophecy of course! There was also a sale on the whole site, I got Mars Melter and Sky Walker for $10.50 (RRP $14.00) each and The Space Age Prophecy for $27.00 (RRP $36.00). I am really surprised they offered a discount for the newest highlighter as it was also the launch date for it and there is only a limited quantity available of this highlighter every week. I was very lucky; I got on the site at 4:01am and was checked out and paid up by 4:03am! I paid $8.00 shipping and my order came to $56.00...
