I first saw Huda Beauty's Limited edition UBE Collection from GLAMZILLA. I am a fan of Lilac or Purple powders ever since I discovered them accidentally via Korean Brand Etude House 9 years ago called Dreaming Swan Eye and Cheek.
That is why when the brand invited me for the UBE-est event. I had to be there! It was a fun celebration celebrating with fellow content creators, learning from Professional MUA Jigs Mayuga and a whole lot more! Check out my IG Video here.
Now you are back here for the review/thoughts. I am the perfect person to come back to because I have been using all 3 items from the collection ever since I got them. Let's start with the Birthday Cake Loose Powder.- Multi-purpose loose powder for baking & setting.
- Non-cakey.
- Does not crease.
- Absorbs excess shine/oil.
- No flashback.
- Makeup stays in place all day.
- Dermatologist tested.
- Suitable for all skin types.
- Non-comedogenic.
True to its claim, it works so well in setting my undereye makeup, highlight the area, and keep my makeup last until removal. Because the color is indeed bright lilac, I love how it made my skin appear like I also have blush underneath my eye making it look like a Drunk Blush application.
The powders are super fine and messy to use to be honest but the filter-like result made it okay to clean up my makeup area every so often!
Does it make me look like I have filter on? YES, just take a look at the unfiled photo below. But if you dislike the purplish tint, go for the regular Huda Beauty Loose Powders which aren't limited edition so you can purchase it all year round.
Next comes the Blush Filter Ube Cream --
Our latest Blush Filter shade features the same ultra-creamy, soft-focus formula you know and love. Now in a vibrant electric lilac, the super blendable & buildable pigments create the perfect ubelicious flush.
An ultra-creamy, easy-to-blend, that works as a highlighter for medium to darker complexion but will appear as a glowing BLUSH on fair-skinned users. Long-wearing, sweat-proof and lasts until makeup removal. I personally think wearing this alone won't be enough for me as I love COLOR on cheeks and this appears more of a brightening product than a blush so I'd love to apply more and set with a different colored blush to create a Gradient effect.
