IMAGIC Pro New Releases - Firsty Try

 

IMagic Pro is a good makeup brand perfect for budding Make Up artists or make up enthusiasts in general.  After my love affair with their 16-eyeshadow palette, I have high hopes on these new products and they did not fail so far!

Here’s a quick unboxing and swatch video.  You can see how pigmented some of these products are!

My top picks so far: IMAGIC Pro Illuminator Powder - this is quite wild on pan but very natural and subtle looking upon swatching.

My next shock would be their eyeliner pencil, they are so pigmented you get a full DARK black shade in a  single swipe.  And truthfully, after this swatchfest, I cannot wipe it off my  hand for hours!

Lastly, I am loving their lipliner pencils.  The shade choices area pretty good too!

All these promising productxs from IMAGIC PH can be purchased locally at beautymnl.com

What caught your attention so far?

How to Contour and Highlight Using Contour and Highlight Stick from IMAGIC

Such a long title! 

But seriously, to those who tell me they can't contour and highlight for the love of beauty... come on, YOU CAN!  You only need a lot of practice and maybe.... (shameless plug coming up) you can backread my past post...

And of course, I also reviewed a similar contour and highlight product from the same brand...

But before you get distracted with anything else, let's talk about the new IMAGIC PROfessional Highlight and Contour Stick.  This product packaging isn't new in the market, Etude House has one, also NYX (in a slimmer pencil packaging)

If you follow me on #AMWIGStories , you've seen how I've worked with my newest IMAGIC PROfessional Cosmetics 16 Color Eyeshadow Palette.  I've used just a couple of random shades for the past weeks but this is my favorite so far since this reminds me so much of the good 'ol Blogging days 10 years ago --- it's all about Copper and Rust with a hint of red!

My Thoughts On IMAGIC PROfessional Contour Cream KIT

There are so many makeup tricks I learned in Make Up School years ago, but one learning that I will never forget is how to contour and highlight the face using cream-based product(s).  Just the mere fact of applying additional "cream" product in a humid weather is quite scary, and let's not forget most Filipinas have oily/combination skin.  

But what's the advantage of using cream based contour product?  

Well, aside from longevity, when applied properly, the effect is more natural (because non-powdery) at the same time, it is easier to create a natural-looking transition of your contour and highlight product.  

That's why as difficult it may sound to use such product, I do use cream type contour and highlight on clients and myself (especially if I am hosting or attending an important event).

Whew, such long introduction, but basically, I got the IMAGIC Contour Cream KIT months back and I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on this after testing this out on both myself and clients.

Php750.00 (now Php645.00 at BeautyMNL.com)

The Palette I got is Light which I think is perfect for my complexion.  It comes with 6 shades and I like the variation of shades that would match for both cool and warm undertone.

iMagic PROfessional Beauty Lipgloss Review

For a product THIS pigmented, it is illegal to be even called a Lipgloss!
Mind you...I am NOT complaining!

The brand is starting to make its' wave after coming up with several shades that is closed to the wel-known Colourpop, Kylie, etc...  the best part about this review on a start of the week?  It is EXTREMELY affordable and available locally!

Intrigued?  Here's a swatch, just a swipe on my lips and see how it shouldn't even be called a lipgloss, but...I can't call this a Liquid Matte Lipstick either.

AMW wears shade 11

According to iMagic ---

"A highly-pigmented liquid lipgloss with a matte finishCreamy yet non-drying formula; smudge-proof and long lasting; convenient tube and wand applicator are designed for ease of use; sweet scent; comes in a range of basic and trendy colors."

Ingredients;
Polybutene, Paraffinum Liquidum, Tnisostearyl Citrate, Octyldodecy I Stearoyl Stearate, Polyethylene Dyfrogenated Polydecene, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnmate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butyrospermum, Parci Butter Phenoxenthanol Aroma, Bht, Methylparaben, Methyl 2-Octynoate, Cinnamal, May contain: Calcium, Aluminium Borosillicate, Silica, Tin Oxide.

Housed in a tube packaging similar to what you see in most liquid mate lipsticks, I understood why this is called a lipgloss.  But, before I talk further, let me show you some photos on the packaging.
