MAYBELLINE PURE PIGMENTS PART 2

Hi Everyone,


So if you haven't checked out part 1 of my Maybelline pure pigment reviews then have a look to see the colours wild gold, brash blue, pink rebel and downtown brown.

Today's review will cover the remaining four colours in the collection. As mentioned previously I opted not to purchase the 9th pigment called "Black Mystery."

Starting with 35 BREAKING BRONZE. This is truly a feast for the eyes in all its bronze glory. If you love maxing out that bronze goddess look for summer then this is the pigment for you. I love this its such a warm colour that gives that lite from within feeling.

 

Such a tropical feeling takes over me when I look at this colour and it makes me think of a beautiful Hawaiian sunset, pina colada's and the smell of rich tanning oil and exotic fruits. Wow all that from a colour. However as mentioned in my previous post you do not have to wear this quite as bold you can use a gentle hand and apply sparingly and really sheer it out so its not as intense.

 

This next colour is 15 POTENT PURPLE. To my surprise when I did the swatch on the back of my hand it was actually not quite as intense as I was expecting. I will be doing many looks using all the pigments for some up coming Instagram pics, and will have to play around with this colour to see how much I can build it on the eye. So my final thoughts are obviously far from over in regards to this colour. There is a sheen of iridescent blue playing gently in the background, but I feel Maybelline held back with this one and it's almost there, but not quite. Lovely no less.

 

 

 

 

Now moving on to the last two which are my personal faves. First is 55 BARELY BRAZEN. This is the perfect light reflecting, feminine, sexy, champagne colour that is sure to get those eyes noticed. I can already think of many different ways to utilize just this one pigment and it's all going to be so much fun. It seems it is a very light pinky gold with a mild peachy undertone that commands your attention. Its the kind of colour that you see on eyes of others and think "what is that she/he is using?"

 

 

Its almost like the most perfect pair of satin ballerina shoes that you can not stop looking at. I feel this colour is likely going to be one of the hottest sellers in this collection, so get yours soon or as soon as they are available near you.

 

Last but not least is a very bold statement colour which is 5 NEVER FADE JADE. This colour screams attention and is not for the meek. I love it because anything that conveys the idea of water for me is sure to be a hit. All though I am a Libra which is an air sign we equally gravitate to water so that is probably where my passion for it comes from. So if I can't be immersed in water, why not wear something that reminds me of it.

 

 

So my one and only argument with this particular pigment and it may seem trivial is the name. I realize there are green tones within this, but when I think Jade I think green deep and rich or creamy green. This to me friends is more like dark cyan or teal, please do correct me if you feel I am wrong. No less I love this colour and look forward to using it often, along with all the others.

 

I would like to add that all 8 colours plus the 9th one "Black Mystery" are in Canadian Stores now. However I do realize there are 3 other colours which I am not even sure we Canadians will see as sometimes is the case with these collections. For the note though those three additional colours are called Forest Fatale, Improper Copper and Buff and Tuff. If they do release these colours as well I am not sure I would want the copper or buff and tuff as there is a lot of similar colours in the collection already. I am however very interested in seeing the Forest Fatale, which seems like an interesting green to play around with and I think would compliment brown eyes wonderfully.

 

Again for about $9 you get 1.5g in a small jar, but a very little goes a long way.

 

If you are after Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigments and live in Canada check out your local Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart or other chain stores that carry cosmetics in your area.

 

For those that live in the Richmond Hill, Ontario area please visit my friend Christina at her cosmetics counter at Shoppers Drug Mart at 1070 Major Mackenzie Dr,

I would also like to thank Christina for her great help this past week and ensuring that I got all the colours in the pigment collection that I was after. Which in turn made it so much easier to blog them for you all.

 

SO ENJOY THE DAY and much more coming to MakeUp'Asylum so check back often and...

MAYBELLINE PURE PIGMENTS ***NEW***

HI TO ALL,


Today I am very excited to share with you the most beautiful  and most anticipated products I have come across since I started blogging three months ago. I purchased the items myself I am about to show you and I am not being paid for my views or opinions, they are truly my own, so enjoy.

Maybelline all I can say is bravo, these new PURE PIGMENTS are absolutely stunning, totally out of this world and worth every nickel (since pennies are obsolete;).)

Before we start I want to add I bought 8 of the 9 colours and will be doing a 2 part review as to cover all 8 in one review is far to long and you'll enjoy coming back in anticipation of the last 4;)

So lets have a look and enjoy the rich experience with these fine gems.

The first colour is 25 WILD GOLD. This is truly a bold bright yellow gold that will look as though you have applied real gold leaf to the eyes. Not that this colour needs any help being amped up, but to help the colour pack on and stay use the color tattoo 24hr eyeshadow in 45 BOLD GOLD, what a beautiful partnership.

 So this photo was taken near a regular table lamp no special camera work or lighting, so that should speak for it self about the insanity of these pigments. This colour surely would be a favorite of Cleopatra if she still lived today I am certain.

Then we have 10 BRASH BLUE and yes this blue is very self assertive if you didn't notice from the picture.

You better watch out Mimi from Drew Carey because your blue shadow don't have anything on me and my brash blue lol.

Next up is 20 PINK REBEL this pink has a duochrome finish that reflects a light purple/violet iridescence and for you gal's out there that love your pinks then do not miss this.

PINK REBEL is truly a pigment of beauty reminiscent of Memphis pink roses and can truly hold its own or be worn with "inked in pink" as its companion base.

The last colour for part 1 of this PURE PIGMENT segment is the colour 45 DOWNTOWN BROWN. Now don't get me wrong as I said at the start I love these pigments, but out of them all this is probably my least favorite. I am more for the extreme and bold, but this will actually be a great colour for everyday use to accent any neutral look to just add a hit of shimmer and pizazz.

This particular colour actually reminds me a lot of Mac's "TEMPTING" lustre from the previous style warriors collection. It's not exact, but close. So if that's a colour from Mac that you loved and miss then pick up this pure pigment by Maybelline.

So in closing a couple of points I would like to make. If you want your pigments to last always try to prime your eye before application be it NYX jumbo pencil in Milk, Avon eyeshadow primer or higher end products like too faced shadow insurance. BUYER BEWARE the BLUE does actually stain and you need to wash the area at least 3 times for it to be gone, just as a heads up so you are not alarmed if you use it. Again these pigments are extremely intense saturated colours and are on the higher end of the dramatic scale, but certain colours can be sheered out and toned down for everyday use.

I truly hope Maybelline has plans for many more colour offerings to come. I would love to see a true red like a "fire engine" and that would be a fun name for it as well. So Maybelline if you read this and  like the name and the idea you need to give credit where credit is due.

The only colour I did not purchase was the black with shimmer particles because I don't feel for me that would be used quickly enough, it is pretty as I have seen it in person. I look forward to seeing how others in the Internet world will utilize that pigment for various looks.

The pure pigments are currently available in Canadian stores like Walmart and Shopper's Drug Mart.

This week in the Canadian Walmart flyer you can get the pigments for $5.97 WOW great deal as they will be around $8-10 other wise depending on where you shop for your eye candy.

The pigments come in a round small plastic jar inside they do come with a sifter insert for those who love that instead of it just open to dip your brush in. Each pigment is 1.5g which doesn't seem much, but I seriously can tell you all you need is merely a pinch like pepper to get the full effect. These will last a long time, especially if you choose to get all the colours as I did.

HOPE you enjoyed this review and stay tuned for part 2 coming soon on the remaining four colours in the PURE PIGMENTS collection. Not to be missed, two of my favorites I saved for last.

NYX PART 3 GLITTER CREAM PALLETS AND PIGMENTS

Good morning all,

I have heard many people say that if your older you should not wear glitter. I guess I have thrown that comment right out the window because I personally love it and the way it brings your eyes to a whole new level. I am not saying that you have to love glitter too, but for those of us that do "DON'T HATE."

So today is all about eye glitter and shimmer and your either going to love it or completely hate it, but then in that case don't continue reading this review if its not your cup of tea.

NYX glitter cream pallets are a total feast for the eyes there are 12 palettes to choose from and each palette contains 5 colors. My choices were  EDEN and SWEET CHOCOLATE BROWNS.

EDEN

SWEET CHOCOLATE BROWNS

 

 

These palettes basically are a gel type base with an intense amount of glitter blended throughout. The "Eden" palette I think will be a lot of fun for the summer. The "Sweet Chocolate Browns" would be a nice palette to use anytime your heart desires, but for some maybe only a special event where you want to play up your eyes, but still keeping with a sexier look.

I will say these glitters are very hard to work with and I watched a video on YouTube by TREASURE YOUR BEAUTY and she did quite a lovely job using the "sweet chocolate brown" palette.

I would definitely say you must have a good eye shadow primer and you can use the glitter sparingly. I did my eyes yesterday using the yellow glitter from the EDEN palette and I did find once I lightly dusted with translucent powder after application it did stay in place with little to no creasing. How ever when its time to take it off its a disaster. I have a lot of facial cleansers and eye makeup removers and even an amazing product like a cleansing oil, Vaseline or the more expensive BIODERMA could not help this glitter, it was pretty much every where. I have even seen a few stray sparkles hanging around this morning even after my nightly face wash and morning routine with a shower. In light of the situation at least you know it has staying power.

The colors are really beautiful and I guess its just a matter of if you want to deal with that kind of clean up. I did notice in the sweet chocolate browns that the dusty rose color on the right end has a very fine glitter in it and tends to blend out smoother then the others. Maybe this is something NYX should consider if they ever revamp this line, just stick with a finer glitter and steer away from the chunky stuff in this case.

Each palette is .33oz/10g and costs $6.99 on the Canadian site, these are no longer available on the U.S site.

Another item I am a big fan of are pigments I find you can do so much with them and you need only a very small amount to achieve any look you want. The color is so super saturated and because you don't need a lot its well worth the money for a very small jar. I picked up one larger jar of DRAMATIC CHROMATIC PIGMENT and three small jars of the ULTRA PEARL MANIA which I have reviewed other colors in a previous post.

DRAMATIC CHROMATIC PIGMENT IN PIGGYBACK

 

 

                                             ULTRA PEARL MANIA

                                               PURPLE PEARL

                                               TURQUOISE PEARL

                                               VERY PINK PEARL

All the pigments are more then you could ask for and I highly recommend NYX brand as the color payoff is amazing. The pigments go on effortlessly and blend well and I look forward to trying them wet as well. I imagine they will be even more brilliant and intense.

The Dramatic Chromatic comes in a .07oz/2g jar and there are 51 color choices (Canadian site ONLY)
The Ultra Pearl Mania comes in .06fl oz/5ml and is $4.99 Cad or $3 U.S there are 30 color options available on both sites.
