AUBE Mousse & Accent Eyes

This is not the newest AUBE eyeshadow but it's one of their good ones that I enjoyed a lot. This is the AUBE Mouuse & Accent Eyes. I was actually in Asia at the time it was being sold at the counter and got to actually try it. This was back in Summer 2006. The colours were very pretty and it was hard to not collect them all but I had to refrain myself. The eyeshadow is a duo with a mousse(cream-like) eyeshadow and a coordinating cream eyeliner. I only purchased one(81) of them at the time.


The one I had gotten two years ago was 81 which was probably the safest colour out of the bunch. Although they had a gold, I found this one pretty good for any colour combination. The mousse isn't thick or "whippy". I find it like a cream eyeshadow but softer. The colour could be easily adjusted with your finger/brush depending on how much you swiped out of it. When I first got it, I used it alone but after awhile I started using it as an eyeshadow base for more pigmented looks. There is shimmer to it but it just enhances the eyeshadow or your eyes. Makes dark eyes sparkle madly! The eyeliner that came with 81 is a shimmery grey leaning onto metallic. It's not a hard eyeliner but made to match the texture of the eyeshadow which is nice and soft. I find 81 a good choice if you can't decide on a colour because you can do just anything with it!


I bought 84 recently when I found it on sale. I don't like pink but I had a feeling that this pink was going to be a tinted version of the 81. Which in fact it is and what makes it more attractive is the colour of eyeliner that comes with it! Purple and pink? So cute! I love swatching it and looking at it but it's really not as good as the 81. I seem to have more purpose with the 81 instead of the 84.

Pros: Smooth shimmery texure, coordinating eyeliner, can be used as base
Cons: Eyeliner pencil longevity.

MAJOLICA MAJORCA Shadow Customize Eyeshadows

I have seen the Majolica Majorca Shadow Customize Eyeshadows for quite awhile but never got into actually buying them. I have many of their quads and eyeshadow sets but never once owned just the shadow alone. I was naturally assuming it would be the same as the collections they put out. My curiosity got the worst in me and I purchased two shadows from the newer colour selections. I believe they came out around Fall 2007. A pretty long time ago, I know!


The first colour I got was PK421 which is a very bold hot pink colour. I love how vibrant and pigmented the pink is. I hardly ever wear or buy pink because I just don't think it looks great on me. I got it to compliment the other colour I had chosen. I really like black and pink together because I had gotten a T'estimo and Lavshuca palette with those two colours in it and they just looked fab! Especially with winter coming up, it would look really romantic yet dark.


BK922 was the colour I wanted to try the most. I really like silvery/blackish colours. I have a fairly bigger-than-average collection of black shadows because I just love mixing it all up. No, not to make a mess on my eyes but to do smokey eyes. The black is slightly darker than it appears so it makes a perfect smokey eye. Blending is very easily done with the two shadows or any from the huge selection they have. I must say I really like these shadows but I rather buy it in the collections because the collections don't take as much room as these. Comparing the shadows to the actual palette shadows, they are of the exact same silky texture.

Pros: Lots of colours to choose from, cheap
Cons: "Value" palettes seem better

KATE Eye Shadow

Another KATE Eye Shadow Palette! This palette came after the previous one I talked about. It's design is quite attractive and mature looking. This particular one I have is BU-1 which is shimmery metallic blue shades. To me, this was the most interesting colour combination out of the rest of them.


Blue is very mysterious! Especially the layering of colours so you can do yet another one of those smokey eye things. I believe this palette is slightly different from the previous ones as this one is a little bit wet in texture.


I tried to sample the colours on my hand as you would see it in the palette. On the left is a silvery cream base then there are the 3 building up colours(bottom left and top right) and last but not least is the liner which is a very nice navy blue black with some blue shimmer in it. I really like that a lot! The picture doesn't show much of it but in real life it's very beautiful!


Example of how it would be on your eye. It sort of looks like the previous one but I think the silver(top left) can be used in the inner corners of the eyes. Gives you quite the frosty look.

KATE Eye Shadow

KATE Eye Shadow Palettes are quite famous for it's quality for it's price. This one I have here is one of their palettes in BK-1. I remember specifically choosing this one for the light smoky eye effect for every day. They have quite a few of these palettes lined up but in different shapes but similar colours. I quite like this one because of the dark to light effect. I'm really pining for the pink one too!


This is as it would appear from looking down on the palette. The black shimmer is a wet pigmented shadow that could be worn as shadow or as a liner. The next 3 are greyish shades that build up the light smokey eye. These are very powdery shimmer finishes. The last one is a white shimmery cream shadow. It can be worn alone or as a base for the entire lid before applying the others.


Here is the look your eye should have if you apply the entire palette on. Looks quite stunning, eh? I love it! I tend to get lazy these days and just wear the base and liner. For the price and quality.. it's totally worth it!
