Went to beauty world centre today. It's a super old old mall which has never been upgraded before. I knew there was this big shop that sells clothes (albeit ugly and old fashioned), and hair and makeup accessories. But I didn't expect to find super cheap cosmetics there! Look at what I picked up, and how cheap they are!
On the left is Love Alpha (china brand) Meteorites Illuminating Pressed Powder. Doesn't it just sound and look like Guerlain's Meteorites?? There's 10g of product and only $3.90! On the right is Flamingo's curl double mascara. It looks like YSL's effet faux cils mascara. Anyway flamingo is a rather popular china mascara brand, but it's usually around $10 online.
The patterns look a lot like Guerlain's. Haha. There's a very shimmery overspray. I only realised it's an overspray when I was swatching it. The powder under the overspray is more of a satin finish, which is wonderful for me. Anything that is too shimmery will accentuate my blemishes.
Left: Both colours swirled together. Middle: The darker pink. Right: The lighter pink.I think the darker pink itself is nice for a blush, the lighter pink for highlighting. Or it can be mixed together for a soft pinky glow on the cheeks =)
