PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: BELLA IL FIORE TROPIQUE FACE PALETTE

THE VERDICT:

Okay so you know guys that I don’t like make- up palettes. For some weird reason, I always end up not using them. But since this is a gift, I’m still happy that someone gave me this, especially if it came from Hubby’s parents. :) 

Let’s now go to the palette. It consists of 4 eyeshadows, one blusher and 3 lipglosses. (And that’s another palette characteristic which I don’t like, they always have lipglosses most of the time.)

The powders have this light perfume scent which is not strong nor overpowering. You can’t smell the scent unless you really put the product right under your nose.  

Here’s a closer look at the lipglosses.

Shade 3

Here’s a closer look at the eyeshadows. 

One thing I don’t like, it’s not that pigmented. But it’ll do for those who wear eyeshadows on a daily basis. It gives your peepers a lovely warm wash of color. 

 And if there’s one thing that I’m lovin’ about this palette, it’s the blusher. 

YAY! ORGASM DUPE ALERT!  

In actual, it is soooo like Orgasm. From the peach- pink color to the slight gold shimmer and even to the color pay- off. I have to admit I’m sorta’ missing my Orgasm blush. So yey for this blush! I don’t have to shell out 1350php for an Orgasm anymore!

 :)

Will I buy this? Prolly not. I hate palettes. Period. ‘Nuff said. But if you’re the type who are into make- up palettes, you should check out Bella Il Fiore. Their prices are not that expensive and they have awesome colors too! 

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: BELLA IL FIORE LIP TREATS LIPGLOSS PALETTE IN AU CHOCOLAT

Here’s an initial review on BELLA IL FIORE LIP TREATS LIP GLOSS PALETTE (AU CHOCOLAT)

PRICE: GOT THIS AS A GIFT (PROLLY AROUND 400- 500PHP)

PLACE BOUGHT: RUSTANS, ALABANG TOWN CENTER

OTHER LOCATIONS: RUSTANS STORES NATIONWIDE  

THE VERDICT:

So this is a lipgloss palette. It is in the form and packaging that I really don’t like. PALETTE and LIPGLOSS.

But since it’s a gift, I’m still thankful for it. It’s a good chance for me to review it for those who are willing to check it.

 DISCLAIMER: 

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT FOR THE NTH TIME, I DON’T LIKE PALETTES AND LIPGLOSSES. IF I HAVE GIVEN THIS A NEGATIVE REVIEW, IT DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT HAS A BAD QUALITY. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT MAKE- UP IS A MATTER OF PREFERENCE. AND IN MY CASE, I DON’T PREFER PALETTES AND LIPGLOSSES. MOST ESPECIALLY, LIPGLOSSES IN PALETTES. 

So let’s go to the packaging. I like anything cute, pink with dessert prints so I give the packaging 10 stars. It also comes with a mirror and with a GREAT applicator because of its long handle. Most of the time, applicators in palettes have uber short handles which definitely makes ‘em hard to use. So this lip treats applicator is very convenient and user- friendly. It also has a mirror for quick touch- ups. 

Let’s now go to the actual product. The product has a light chocolate scent which is not overpowering. And it doesn’t taste like chocolate at all. It’s sort of a good thing and a bad thing. When you smell chocolate, you somehow must have a taste of it. So sorry for those who are expecting to taste chocolate in this one. You won’t be able to satisfy your craving. It’s also a good thing because it keeps you from looking for and eating the real belly killer.

Consistency is soft and a bit waxy. It glides like a dream but pigmentation is not that good. Actually, the colors might be somewhat similar to each other. But one thing’s for sure, for girls who work in the corporate world, nudes are essential. And this palette might just work for you. It has different brown shades to suit your different nude/brown look. Again, this is perfect for your everyday look.

Will I buy this again? No. But again, if you like palettes, this might be a good buy for those who like lipglosses and palettes, most especially, lipglosses in palettes. It is budget- friendly and great as toppers for lipstick. :)
