How to use

Apply dry or wet for more intense effect

In the mirror of my own experience

I've used some baked eyeshadows before also, but never used any eyeshadow from L.A colors cosmetics. Browsing through their website I saw that they have so many colorful palettes in their collection. I really love baked eyeshadows & I was pleasantly surprised to see the eyeshadows of such a great quality.

Packaging

The packaging is an average one, with a transparent lid and black body. An applicator sponge is also provided which is not of much use.

Texture

They have a rich texture and are very soft and smooth. You can get an intense texture if you apply them wet.

Pigmentation

The colors are highly pigmented even without a primer. These eyeshadows changed my perception about baked eyeshadows as all the four colors are so beautiful & rich!

Application

I usually apply baked eyeshadows dry, but if you want even more intensity you can use them wet. The shades make great eyeliners also & for that I use my UD eyeshadow changing potion.

Effect

The colors are soft, metallic ones for both day & night look. Can be used in combination with other shades. You get a beautiful jewel like effect on your eyes with the light shimmers.

Lasting power

These eyeshadows have a great lasting power of about 5 hrs & after that you need to give a light reapplication. With a primer the lasting power can be increased.

Swatches:

In natural light

Inside

Finally...

At such a low price these eyeshadows are a steal. They come in 15 color combinations & i would love to add more in my stash.

Recommendation

Highly recommended to all my readers who want to play with gorgeous colors.

Shade

Blue My Mind

How to use

Use Dry for a silky smooth application of luminous color.  Use Wet for a longer lasting more intense color effect.  Deeper tones work beautifully as an eyeliner.

In the mirror of my own experience

I was just fascinated to see its color and was really eager to find it. The shade really has the ability to make one crazy. Baked products always attracted me so this time I decided to  give it a try.
 

Packaging

It comes in a round pan packaging with a transparent lid. Inside the pan we find the baked shadow with a dual ended applicator/brush which is not impressive at all. The bristles of the brush are not soft  and the tip of sponge is also not very thick and smooth. There is no mirror provided with the pan so I can't call the packaging very impressive. But if I ignore these things, it's a cute packaging and very light weight for carrying out.The lid is also tight and secure.

 

Texture

The texture is extremely soft and smooth like butter. It spreads on the lids like a dream. I didn't find much fall fall out during application, very little which can be manage very easily. It does apply smoother and more evenly when applied wet than dry but I love to apply it dry.

Pigmentation

I was not sure about its pigmentation because I have found that many baked eye shadows are  not much pigmented but after touching this one all my doubts were cleared. it's highly pigmented & even one touch with your finger proves it intensity. You can apply it in wet form also for more intensity. I found it perfect in both ways either dry or wet.

Application

You can use it in many ways. At first I applied it with a black combination eyeshadow and found it beautiful. You can apply it alone all over the lids and with other other eye shadows too. In wet form you can use it as an eyeliner which looks very pretty.

Effect

Excellent!! I can say just one word after using it. It gives really an amazing effect to your eyes. I love to apply it as an eyeliner in day time and a full application on night occasion.

Lasting power

It has quite strong lasting power. I applied it for 3 to 4 hours but on seeing its intensity after 4 hours I can say that it can last for 5 to 6 hours very easily with out fading.

Good points

Cute secure packaging which is travel friendly too.
The texture is buttery soft and smooth.
There is no much fall out.
Highly pigmented.
Can be used as dry or wet, and you find it perfect in both forms.
It apply very smoothly on the lids.
Gives amazing effect in many ways.
Long lasting.
Reasonable price.

Dry(without primer)

Bad points

The packaging is not very impressive.

Finally...

Finally I love Milani Baked Metallic Eyeshadow Blue My Mind. The shadow has everything which I had expected from it. It's a high quality product from Milani. I would love to try out other shades from this collection, I'm eager to try some other products from this brand too.

Hey pretty ladies,

I couldn't write a new post since two days because I wasn't feeling well. In my city the weather is extremely cold again. Anyways, today I'm feeling quite well so I'm here with an exciting post which I'm sure my readers would love it as always. You all know that Rouge Bunny Rouge recently launched two beautiful shades in there eye shadow collection. I posted its press release some days ago and I got many mails from my readers all over the world who wanted to read its review on my blog and I'm very happy to fulfill their wish.

Rouge Bunny Rouge When Birds are Singing Long Lasting Matte Eye Shadow in Sweet Dust Seriema

Sweet Dust Seriema is the one of the two new shades that has been launched by RBR recently. It's a matte eye shadow which can be used for a natural and day makeup look.

What  Rouge Bunny Rouge says….

Discover a new powder eye shadow with an astonishing lightweight, creamy touch and unprecedented adherence. This formula creates pure dynamic iridescence while it maintains second skin effect. It has extended 8-hour wear that will stay perfect and look freshly applied all day. Orange-derived Flavonoid improves blood microcirculation, enhances luminosity and serves as free radicals scavenger.

Weight

Price

Packaging

As always the packaging is beautiful which has the RBR logo and flowers and tiny fireworks.  It's inspired by an 'enchanted garden'.  The shadow comes  in a sleek, black lacquer compact with a mirror on the underside of the lid.  They have a snap lock/closure which stays secure. The packaging always makes me happy because I'm crazy about a theme of garden and flowers.

Shade

They had launched two new shades in their matte color range. The first was Bashful Flamingo and the second was Sweet Dust Seriema. I'm reviewing the second one. 

Texture

The texture is so buttery that it's hard to believe this is a powder eyeshadow. To be honest it's the smoothest, silky texture I have ever touched. Very lightweight, soft and extremely finely milled that it is almost creamy to the touch and blends with utmost ease like a dream.   You can easily just pat the shadow on with your finger.

Pigmentation

I had not expected such a wonderful colour pay off, I only touched the shadow with my first finger tip and the color which I picked on my tip was enough to tell me the whole story Lol.

Lasting power

RBR states that it has "extended eight-hour wear that will stay perfect and look freshly applied all day"but I wanted to test it myself and after testing I found the statement completely true. It can last really for the whole day.

In the mirror of my own experience

I never used any RBR eye shadow before so I didn't know much about its quality. Basically both new shades they have launched, are the shades used for highlighting. These are perfectly nice for applying on brow bones and as a base. You can apply them all over your lids. For a natural eye makeup, they can be mix with some other matte color eye shadows like black, brown, blue, purple and green. When I first touched it with my fingers, it looked so pigmented then I applied it on my hand for swatching. I loved its pigmentation but still I wanted to make me sure about it so I applied it on my eye lids without any base just after moisturizing my face and I was surprised to see that not only the shadow color showing on lids with its full effects without any primer but also felt so soft and smooth like a cream shadow. There was not much fall out, that I noticed. Actually the shadow is not powdery at all. The last thing which I wanted to know was its lasting power so that I wore it on my eyes for a whole day visit to my sister and I saw that the shadow lasted for whole day without even fading. The result was as I had expected from the product. I got everything which I wanted from it and now I can declare with my own experience that it's another winning product from RBR.

Good points

So elegant and beautiful packaging.
The texture is silky and buttery like a cream eye shadow.
Excellent color pay-off.
It applies so evenly and gets easily blended
The shade is natural and can be mixed with other shades easily.
Perfect for natural and day time makeup looks.
Very long lasting.

2 swipes, without primer

Bad points

The shade collection is not enough, It should be increased with the addition of some more colors.
No applicator provided with the shadow but I don't mind it because I never use the applicator for applying the shadow.
A bit expensive.

Finally....

I'm highly impressed by this eye shadow. I love matte eye shadows so I can use it many times with many colors especially in day times. I can also wear it at night occasion if I mix it with some bold color shadows. It's very pigmented so it can last for long time. 

Rating

4.75/5

Recommendation

I highly recommend this eye shadow if you are into luxury brands that indeed has a luxurious price, but matched equally by its luxurious quality.

Availability

The Rouge Bunny Rouge products can be purchased from RBR website and also from Zuneta.
