Super Cheap Makeup from Cosway

Visited Cosway today with mom after church. I always have the perception that makeup that are selling in Cosway is low quality until I swatch some of it today. To my surprise the colour pay-off was superb given the price. And the stuff on Cosway goes on large discounts monthly.

Today, I tried the Colour Sense Perfect Gleam Eyeshadow Trio. The packaging looks cheap but let’s not judge a product by its packaging right? First look reminded me a lot of Silky Girl and In2It products, teenage-y feel to the brand.

The packaging is a white plastic with the brand name printed on it.

Now for the content, I bought 2 of the trios in Earth Muse and Moonlight Romance.

Earth Muse is a combination of a shimmery lemony white shadow, redish-orange and a very nice dark brown with gold shimmers.

The photos taken are pretty true to what the shadows actually looks like in real life. Did I mentioned that it comes with a mirror and sponge applicator too? Talk ’bout value for money!

For the Moonlight Romance, it consist of a light shimmery pink, bright pink and a deep purple also with gold shimmers in it.

The trio should be very easy to use, given that it is a good combination of highlight colour, lid colour and a dark shade for contouring. The range consist of trios with blue and green too. Here are some swatches:

Top row is Moonlight Romance and bottom is Earth Muse. They do put in effort in naming these trios given the price :-)

Currently the trios for Earth muse and the blue ones are on discount for Cosway members at RM10.40. Whereas the Moonlight Romance and green trio is under normal price of RM17+, but Cosway members are entitled to the normal 20%, so I got mine at RM14+.

That’s all for now, hope you guys had a nice Father’s Day. I know I did with the amount of seafood I had with my family in Matang :-P

Happy always!

My early B’day Presiessss…..

Final’s next week but this post isn’t going to talk bout that. It’s about the present hubby just bought for me when we had our dinner in Pyramid just now. YEAH! I chose Benefit Confession of a Concealaholic when hubby ask what I wanted :-)

Pictures!

A makeup kit with several types of concealer and brightening products.

Comes with instruction booklet too..good for beginners :-)

Comes with a mirror and 2 double ended brushes. each is labelled with corresponding products in the kit.

sorry bout the picture quality, hands were bit shaky @.@

This kit comes with:

1) a ‘that girl’ primer, can be used as a highlighter also.
2) Erase paste in No. 2, medium. A salmon coloured concealer for undereyes.
3) 2 boi-ing concealer in 01 and 02.
4) eye bright for highlighting the eyes.
5) lemon aid for eye lids.

I got mine at the Benefit counter in Sunway Pyramid for RM148. I was told they just re-stock, I wonder does this mean they were out of stock or did they just brought in the product.

Anyway, good luck to all ACCA people for next week. +u +u!!!
