PINK PANDA order review (Makeup Revolution & Barry M)

A few weeks ago I discovered a page called PINK PANDA which offers lots of different make up brands which you can't buy at a drug store and seeing some of their items were quite intriguing, I decided to order some of the things I needed, and some which I just wanted. The order came to my door after just a few days and after trying out the products I bought, I have nothing but recommendations for both the site and these brands!


The product I was most excited about when ordering was the Barry M Genie lipstick which changes colour based on the Alkaline on your lips. The size of the lipstick is quite small and the colours are vibrant, which is great when you're trying to find it on the bottom of your bag (trust me). 

 

The colour which appeared on my lips after applying the lipstick was a vibrant, fuchsia like shade of pink. Not only was the colour amazing, but the lipstick is ultra long lasting, it didn't smear at all and the colour only slightly faded after both eating and drinking. It doesn't dry your lips as it's not a matte shade and it looks absolutely amazing, there is also no need for a lip liner as the colour is evenly separated on your lips and natural looking. All in all, I would definitely recommend this lipstick for all of you who love pink shades on your lips and are looking for some quality long lasting lipsticks.


 All of the other products which I ordered are by Makeup Revolution, which is one of my favourite makeup brands out there as their makeup is not only amazing but also affordable and they offer a great number of palettes which can be used as dupes for some of the more expensive ones.

The product which was my main purpose of making this order is the amazing Fortune Favours the Brave eyeshadow palette. And wow.
The palette is quite big, it consists of 30 different colours and styles and it comes with a big built in mirror and a two way brush for applying the eyeshadows. I am honestly amazed by this palette's colours and longevity of the eye shadows. It offers both natural look eye shadows as well as night time make up looks, and let's not forget the super shimmery ones which just make your eyes pop! 

Here you can see how shimmery some of the colours are when put under direct sun light, the ones I swatched here are Green Machine, Golden Coins, Super Gold, Midnight Rainbow and The Revolution. They are all highly pigmented and easy to mix and pair with other shades in this palette.  When using a primer with these shadows they become even more vibrant. I am amazed by all the shadows and this is definitely a recommendation for anyone willing to mix up their makeup routine for a bit.

Another eye shadow palette I ordered from MakeUp Revolution is the Iconic palette. It has 12 different eyeshadows which are different shades of pink, beige and purple, there are matte shades as well as semi shimmery and shimmery ones. This palette would be great for anyone looking for a beige-purple coloured smokey eye.



  I have swatched some of the shades on my arm as you see here, I tried 5, going from the lightest to the darkest shade. Here they are under direct sun lights and as you can see they are quite shimmery but also well pigmented.
After doing some research I found this palette is said to be a dupe for the Naked3 one, so if you are looking for a cheaper alternative, this is definitely it!


Next up we have this amazing blush palette! It consists of 8 different shadows, 6 shimmery and 2 matte, the palette can be used for not only blushes, but also for highlighting and contouring! It is comes with a big built in mirror and is the same size as their contouring palettes and when combined with them it offers some great results.


It has a few different shades of similar colours, whether you're looking for a more laid back or a more dramatic look. I love the vibrant pink one, but my favourite by far is the darkest one, the golden beige shade which I'm using to contour my cheekbones, and the light yellow shade above it which I'm using to highlight. The shades are very vibrant and you must be careful not to put too much, they are very easy to blend and I've been getting so many compliments lately on how I contoured my face when I was using this blush palette.

If you are looking for a palette which has both blushes, contour and highlight tones, you have found it. The packaging is nice and the colours are amazing, as you can see on my forearm here. This palette has become a part of my every day makeup routine as soon as I got it, and have no doubts that if you get it you'll become addicted too. Addiction to glitter is the best addiction there is.
 

 









And the last thing I ordered is this amazing Focus & Fix Eye Primer. I recently ran out my last one so I needed a new one and I am so happy I bought it. My makeup can now go for hours without getting creases and smudging. It is easy to apply and it comes with a soft brush, the colour is a nude one and the size of the primer is like a normal mascara. Definitely a must buy! 

All in all, I am very happy with all of the products which I have purchased from the PINK PANDA website. I would definitely you the Fortune Favours the Brave palette as I have been using it non stop ever since I bought it and I have nothing but recommendations about it!
