Sephora Collection: Makeup Academy Palette

Sephora Collection: Makeup Academy Palette









These shadows are not that pigmented if apply without eyeshadow base. Here, I'm using NYX eyeshadow base in white. In the swatches, they appear vibrant and pigmented as I used fingers. The eyeshadow swatches are as below: 




Without Flash                                      With Flash














It cost me around RM159 at Sephora Store in Penang awhile ago. Overall, worth for the price. The shadows can be very vibrant if you are patience enough to build it up layer by layer. Below are some of the eye looks I came out with:

Wet n Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Collection (Blue Had Me At Hello)

Blue Had Me At Hello
 Good news for Malaysian! Now you can get this palette at local website~ colourscosmeticsmalaysia.com (headquarter at Penang!). Previously, I bought this from Drugstore.com which is from US. The risks are:

1. Potentially broken during shipping (I experienced it!)
2. More expensive than what you expected because custom fee may be vary. Sometimes more, sometimes less..
3. Some western website does not ship internationally. That's means, you have to go with third party! Another headache!

Left Column Eyeshadows (Left without Eyeshadow Base, Right with Eyeshadow Base)

This column eyeshadows are not as good as the right sided. As you can see, both deep blue and black are almost look alike. In real eyelids application. you hardly notice the different. The icy white and icy silver are more chunky. Especially the icy white, a lots of falls out, shadow doesn't intense compare with others. The icy silver is a bit better than the icy white. Both deep blue and black are drier formulated. Especially the deep blue, the driest, difficult to build colour even with base. Hardly build up intensity. However, I don't mind because I normal apply little by little to build up the vibrancy for deep dark shadow. 




 Right Column Eyeshadows (Left without Eyeshadow Base, Right with Eyeshadow Base)

I prefer this column of eyeshadows because they all vibrant and pigment as its own. As you can see, with or without base they workout fine. They are more smooth and buttery feel during application. They are not as chunky or dry as the left column. 


Overall, I still happy with the palette. This palette cost me RM37 although in western it is only US$4.99




The eyeshadow base that I used was from Inouvi
