Askmewhats Reviews: Arezia MakeUp Kit

Ok, as promised, I will give an in-depth review on the Arezia MakeUP Kit. The reason why I bought this is because it was on Strawberrynet's easter sale (less 50%). The original price was $52.00 and I bought this for $26.00. I've got nothing to lose, the colors are really good and I've got different shades of each color! Whatever colors that I may need or use, then that's the time I will buy the color individually.

Here are the specs ---

MakeUp Kit AZ ( 36 Colours of Eyeshadow, 4x Blush, 3x Brow Powder, 2x Powder )

		MakeUp Kit AZ 01205
		( 36 Colours of Eyeshadow, 4x Blush 2.79g, 3x Brow Powder 1.98g, Pressed Powder 5.04g, Multi-Color Pressed Powder 5.8g )

Here's a crazy test on my Arezia e/s. (take note: no foundation, just a bit of powder. Blush on left and right cheek are not matched as I was testing 2 of the 4 blushes teehee) Talk about excitement to do some tests. Honestly, if i have more than 1 set of eyes, I'll test all the e/s colors at once!!! To show you guys the color pay off! hehehe

DARN, this looks soooo April fools! I should have gotten this palette earlier and go to work looking like this...whatcha think? hahaha

And here's my cute sister-in-law Grace for her first modeling stint hehehe (spare the 80's hair)

IDEAL FOR BOTH PERSONAL USE AND AS A GIFT (doh!)

Askmewhats says ---

For the retail price of $52.00, so not worth it! But for a sale price of $26.00 I would say it's ok. Let me break down to you guys what I have to say, I've got lots to say but I just don't know where or how to start hekhekhek


Pros

• For first timers, you've got a lot of variety of colors to choose from without breaking the bank
• The e/s, oh, is just funny, the e/s is as big as the MAC small e/s. And the color was like divided into 3, so you'd think you'll use it all up easily? Hell NO! I've packed colors after colors after colors and so far, it didn't even looked like I've used it! Picture ABOVE for proof (the one that I'm pointing the color?) I think this is unlimited shadows in a palette! hahaha
• The blushes are ok, you've got choices of Baby Pink, Peachy Pink, Reddish Pink and browns.
• The brow powders are ok as well, you've got the black one (for eyelining), the gray and brown ones to fill in those brows!
• My favorite would be the "mosaic" powder, it gives a good kinda glow to your face. I tested on the reddish blush and it looks too strong, but when I topped it off with a mosaic shimmer powder, it looks so natural
• The pallet looks super NICE and i can't help but take a look at it again and again, MIRROR is big enough for you to see your whole face!

Cons

• The 36 color e/s....oh...you li'l colors...felt a bit like...chalk? hehehe I have to scrape it on my brush again and again to pack the colors in my brush. You know this gets me confused, I hate that I have to pack it again and again, but after doing so, the color payoff isn't bad at all! So it could be a love and hate relationship between me and the shadows
• The glittery part of the shadows are BAD! The glitters are too big and you have them scattered all around your cheek and nose when you applied it on your eyes! (Down glitter, Stay, Sit! Don't move...goooooddd boooyyy!)
• The mini brush applicator included or not only BAD...just THROW them out please! Not even worth keeping it. Keep the powder applicator though. (it's generic but useable)

Tips

• Apply the shadow with a primer like UDPP or MAC
• Want the color to show better? Use a creamy off-white or beigy color as base, I tried it and it works nicely
• To sexify the whole look, use the Shimmery Mosaic powder and brush it all over your face including your eyes (so it doesn't look too crayonish)

Will I repurchase?No, this is enough to last a year! hahaha
