Review and Swatch: Ranee Eyeshadow Cream

Hi! So I was looking for cheap eyeshadow cream. I thought I'd have to go for ELF pre-order, which is gonna take a month to get here. I was kinda impatient because it may be needed for this weekend project, so I decided to take a stroll in ITC Depok. I dunno about ITC Depok, that place is so magical, you can find everything you can't even imagine to be found there. I found this in one of my favorite cosmetic stores, Frans Cosmetic.

ingredients: parafin liquid, sedellum elivate*, lanolin, beeswax, aqualarve*, emulsive wax, CL 77010, 77401, 77402, 77400, 77001*

*just a guess, the writing is not clear

on my lid

Comparison

Sunlight

Flash

If you notice on the ingredients, yes it has beeswax. I don't know if it's common in cream eyeshadow, I guess no. Maybe because the beeswax, the texture is like lipstick instead of creamy. And it smells like lipstick too.

Pros:

Nice color

Enough shimmer

Blendable

Versatile

Cheap

Cons:

The smell

Ugly packaging

Re-purchase: Yes, I'd like to have some more of this in any other colors..

It's an okay product for 18.000 IDR (2 USD). If we have E.L.F in the same price (ELF's 1$ line become about 3$ here) I'd go for E.L.F but this is okay.

Review and Swatch: Nonna Eyeshadow Palette No. 2404-02

I dunno why people judge this brand as a harmful one. I never had any problem wearing Nonna products. Their products are not in the same quality as fake cosmetics, even though often sold together. Nonna is a cosmetic brand from Taiwan, and they have permission from BPOM, or so they claim on their official Facebook account.

I bought this palette on Facebook, I got it cheaper because I won something like a competition held by the admin of Nonna Facebook account. They're so nice. I texted them so much and ask them questions like a lot, but they ain't even mad.

nice packaging, no? looks fancy to me

And here's some swatch. Top row were swatched using fingers and the rest using brush. And all colors are swatched on Aubeau Eye Make Up Base.

Top Row

shimmery white - shimmery light peach - shimmery pink - shimmery yellow - shimmery light green - matte green

Second Row

shimmery light ivory - shimmery gold - shimmery light bronze - matte soft brown - matte dark brown

Bottom Row

shimmery silver - shimmery burgundy - shimmery bronze - shimmery brown - shimmery dark plum - shimmery black

I personally love the burgundy and dark plum. The colors are very lovely. And I use the light peach for browbone highlighting, light ivory for nose highlighting, soft brown for nose shading, and dark brown for cheek shading.

I think this is a great product. And what I like is they have this palette in other colors. Check their Facebook account for more product, and I tell you, they have some really good palettes worth to buy, and in very affordable price too!

FOTD: Coral Lips + Review: Revlon Colourstay Mineral Mousse Foundation

Something in my head told me to do an FOTD but somehow I was just not in the mood. When your head and your heart are not synchronized, whatever you do will end up messy. Just like this FOTD.

See my expression? I'm ready to eat a lion. LOL. But seriously, I messed the make up. The eyeliners are not even on both eyes. The eyeshadow is not blended. The only good thing is the foundation. I just got Revlon Colourstay Mineral Mousse Foundation, my shade is 050. And it actually matches my skintone perfectly.

Eyes:

Aubeau Eyeshadow Cream

Nonna Eyeshadow Palette (Light brown)

Revlon Satin Eyeshadow in Polished Brown

My Darling Eyeliner in Black

Maybelline The Magnum Mascara

Inez Eyeliner Pencil in White

Inez Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

Lips:

Wardah Lip Palette (No. 4) mixed with NYX Round Lipstick in Honey

Face:

Revlon Colourstay Mineral Mousse Foundation in Light Medium

Inez Precious Powdery Cake in Deep Peach

Revlon Satin Eyeshadow in Polished Brown (for shading)

Nonna Blush Palette

The lips are actually not that soft looking, it's actually more tacky and gonjreng. I wanted a coral pink but I only got coral red so I mixed in with NYX Honey.

Because it's an easy and failed look, I won't write the How to.

Here's the review. The texture of this foundation is mousse, so it's not liquid, yet it's not creamy. So far no breakouts. I have pros and cons about this foundation.

Pros:

The mousse texture makes it more blendable

Great oil control

Perfect match with my skintone

Good looking package

Cons:

Sheer coverage

Have a funny smell

Kinda pricey (135 IDR for 30 mL.)

p.s. I really have tight budget because I'm a college student and still have no job and still relying on allowance XD

I find this foundation a perfect match with my Inez Precious Powdery Cake. I put the mineral mousse first then the powdery cake and the result is amazing. The coverage is so great, but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing heavy make up. The powdery cake alone has good coverage but still it can't cover my pimple scar on my face, and the mineral mousse alone doesn't make any difference. And the oil control is amazing too! I wore this one day and my t-zone was not as oily as usual. I have to admit I was kinda disappointed with this product, but now I love it so much! It's just how you combine it with. The correct combination will result perfect finish.

Repurchase? Um, I dunno. I'm not that experienced with foundation. I still have to try another brand until I find my holy grail. But I may repurchase :)
