MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Semi-Precious Collection (Smoked Ruby) Transformed to Nail Polish

MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Semi-Precious Collection (Smoked Ruby)
 
The original idea is from YouTuber, Dropdeadgorgeous. I was thinking how to use this product before this because mineralize eyeshadow has poor pigmentation when applying it in dry. Particular this shade, it has black under tone which means when blending it in dry, the red tone will be disappear leaving black patches. Because we Asian rarely use red eyeshadow, this shade has been in my makeup drawer for quite sometimes.
 
Well, I knew the technique of transforming mineralize eyeshadow for quite sometimes too but I don't want to do it earlier. It is because that if I wanted to do it, it must be in a bottle form. In that way, I do not need to mix it again for the next use~
 
Last 2 days, it suddenly come into my mind that why not I use the left over DIY lipgloss tube as a container?! Initially I was worrying whether will the brush tip dry up, eventually it did not! Here, I'm going to attach the video to show you guys how I transform the mineralize eyeshadow to nail polish!

YSL Makeup Palette (Travel Collection)


 This palette I found it at Penang International Airport while I was going to Langkawi for a short holiday trip. It is very eye catching in the sense of unique "HANDPHONE" size which intially I thought it is an I-Phone cover! It comes with 2 versions. Another version is more colorful and fun to play with. I chose this palette because as serve as a travel palette, I think this palette is more versatile. It is more natural and universal.
PRICE: RM118



 They smell really good~ I don't know how to describe the smell but it is really feminine kind of smell and settle. I like this palette more than the Christian Dior Travel Palette in general. The CD one I had depotted it as they don't work well together with same finishes. I don't find myself reach for that CD palette a lot.






This palette although color payoff is not superior, but they aren't bad also. The most I like about this palette are the lipcolors. They glide on pigmented and smooth~ Even I have chapped lips. They are also superior in moisture and glossy look! That I'm very impressed because normally the combination palette comes with lowest quality of lip product.











 Left: One Layer     Right: Few Layers

 The eyeshadows are not pigmented in one swatch. The picture above I did swatches without any base by using fingers. However, if you apply few layers, they look okay.


The colors' name are not specific. So, I don't really know what's their names.



Left: Blusher           Right: Lip Colors
I adore both blusher and lip colors. The blushers is so naturally pop-up my cheeks and the lip colors are so opaque. The plus marks are they also long lasting pigmented, glossy and moisturized
