As most of you must be aware of the fact that I own many eyeshadow pigments, of various brands & i love using them for various purposes.
Recently I got to try eyeshadow pigments of a new brand- facefront cosmetics. It is a vegan, US brand that specializes in pigments (eyeshadows, blush, bronzer etc)

Shades

Facefront pigments are available in around 22 gorgeous shades!

I'm reviewing- Acrylic Apple torte- Brilliant ruby/garnet pink metallic.
 Hypnosis- A beautiful soft golden shade, gives a very elegant look to the eyes!

In the mirror of my own experience

I've used many pigments & after my experience I can say that these are of really good quality & if you are in search of pigments, you can surely try some from facefront!

Packaging

You get the usual packaging of these pigments as one will find of other brand's pigments. Small jar with a lid.
 

Texture

Both have a soft, silky texture & they glide on so smoothly on the lids! You get a gorgeous effect after applying them!

Pigmentation

Highly pigmented, so a very small amount is required to get the appropriate color. The ruby red one is even more pigmented that the golden shade which is more of a soft color unlike the dark, dazzling Apple Torte!

Lasting power

They have a satisfactory lasting power of about 4-5 hrs & with base you can strengthen their lasting power even more. Even if they fade, it looks pretty good as there aren't any patches to be seen.

Finally...

I really love both these pigments & would love to try more shades from their collection!!!

Rating

4.5/5

Recommendation

If you want to add on some pigments in your collection then these pigments should surely be one of those.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Fire Drops Glitter Pigment- Review, swatches, photos

Hi pretty ladies,

I have tried many products from Rouge Bunny Rouge and after using all their products, I eagerly wish they launch this great brand in India. They have a beautiful range of cosmetic products and skin care products as well. In India, I think it can make its place with some famous luxury brands very soon because the quality of its products can insist the customers to buy it again and again. This is my honest view on the basis of my own experience anyways I'm coming up now with today's post and off course it's another product of RBR. This time it about one out of the two shades which I had mentioned in my previous post that RBR has added two exciting color pigments in their Fire Drops Glitters Pigments line.

Fire Drops Loose Glitters Pigments

Caress of Mink' and 'Embrace of Cashmere' are the newest additions to their loose glitter pigment line up. 

What Rouge Bunny Rouge says...

 We were inspired to recreate their zingy pigments for you as the Fire Drops range. Adorning yourself with this fiery lava dust will gift you with the playful mischief of a fluttering firefly and the intense brightness of the blossoms' luminescent shades.

The formula contains a super high percentage of pearl, which will grant your eyes a marvellous shine and luminosity but with a weightless feel. We added Sodium PCA, a natural moisturiser that maintains the water balance of the skin, makes the texture soft and elastic and the application creamy and easy. A sponge-tipped wand enclosed in a practical bottle will safely keep the pigment inside and let it out only when you want it.

Packaging

The packaging is just fabulous. We find the pigment's jar in a black packaging full of white flowers. Inside the package box we find the transparent light weight  capsule jar again full of black delicate flowering design and black shining cap with the RBR sign. After opening the cap we find the applicator with sponge tip which is very very helpful for applying the pigment.

Applicator

I want to write something about the applicator especially because we rarely find such kinds of applicator with pigments. I got a bit similar applicator with one of my Maybelline shadow stylist which has been very helpful in applying the shadow. But RBR applicator is even more impressive  than that of Maybelline's. Just pull out the wand and the perfect amount of product is waiting for you on the sponge tip without any messing.

Embrace of Cashmere (NEW)

There are 6 shades are available in their glitter pigments line. They have added two new shades 'Caress of Mink' and 'Embrace of Cashmere'.

I'm reviewing one of the new shade of two 'Caress of Mink' which is a soft warm taupe brown shade.

Texture

The textures is soft and smooth, which helps in blending. 

How to use

For a richly-gleaming look apply the Loose Glitter Pigments with its sponge applicator and blend it with the RBR Shading Brush (# 003). Dust on with the RBR Shading Brush (# 003) for a more transparent glimmer.

In the mirror of my own experience

I have used many glitter pigments from many different brands & I even don't remember some of the names. I was once crazy about different color pigments because they always attracted me, from Mac to Faces I have experienced different qualities of pigments. It's my first chance of trying RBR glitter Pigments and after trying this pigment, trust me, I have forget all other different brand's pigments. Just after using for the first time, I fell in love instantly. The formula of these is divine.  The shimmery powder is so finely milled that it glides on like a cream, and it does not need to be mixed to stay put. The texture is so silky that you fall in love while blending it. I found the  formula  really really divine because it doesn't have any fall out at all. The product is just so versatile whether you are using it dry, wet, to line or mixed in with other products, you can create many different looks with this beautiful pigment. The shade can be worn in day time and also for a night party giving golden touch to it. It lasts really well. If you apply it with RBR Mattifying primer, it can last for 12 hours without any creasing and it's just wonderful for a pigment. I would love to try all the shades of RBR glitter pigments.

Good points

Beautiful Packaging which is not only pretty but also very light weight and easy to carry out.

The applicator does a heavy duty in applying without any messing.

The texture is so silky like a cream shadow.

There is no fall out at all.

The shade is very pretty which can be used in a many versatile eye makeup. Mixing with some golden and black shades, you can give a glamorous touch to your makeup and also can be use alone for a simple day time makeup.

It lasts wonderfully without any primer for 6 to 7 hours and with a good primer it lasts unbelievably for 12 hours without fading.

The effect is not too shimmery which I love because I don't like much shimmery pigments.

The quantity is quite enough for lasting long. 

In sunlight

Bad points

Only six shades are available which is not enough. I want at least 12 shades in this line.

Only available online but they ship worldwide.

Finally...

Finally I can say that it's the my most favorite pigment I have ever used. From the packaging to quality it has proved itself a winner. The two shades which RBR added in their line are both very beautiful and essential shades which every makeup lover want in its makeup box. I'll eagerly want to add more exciting shades from their pigment's range.

Rating

5/5

Recommendation

I highly recommend these pigments to my readers because I'm sure after using them, they would love to buy them again and again.

RBR Glitter Pigments can be purchased from Rouge Bunny  Rouge website and also on Zuneta.com.

In the mirror of my own experience

I have used both of them many times and always found them great. The shade no 3 is a bit deep for me but this color always attracted me and I used it many times with black shadow which looked very different and mysterious.

There is no applicator or brush provided with them.

Finally...

I really love these sparkle dusts. They are rich, vibrant and super-bendable. Very buttery in texture. I can say that these are another great product from Faces. I'm highly impressed.

Story

By day, deep inside the Enchanted Garden‘s densest forest, by day the vast Agni Tree melts quietly into the sprawling greenery. But as dusk descends, Sparkling Fireflies teem around its warming
branches. For they know the secret thrill of the Agni Tree, and their delirious dance is a harbinger of the joyous night fireworks to come.
The Agni Tree‘s roots plunge to the depths of the earth, where they are nourished by molten lava. Each night, the magma rushes from the ground and pulses through the branches, until the crowning blossoms explode in a shower of vibrant molten fire drops, gleaming in every colour of the spectrum. The darting fireflies, smitten with the energy of these molten bubbles of joy, infuse their wing with the thrill; never knowing which hue will appear each evening. By dawn, these swift, uncurling flames of primeval fire dry into an exquisite concentrate, used to infuse with bliss the Enchanted Garden‘s various festivities.


We were inspired to recreate their zingy pigments for you as the Fire Drops range. Adorning yourself with this fiery lava dust will gift you with the playful mischief of a fluttering firefly and the
intense brightness of the blossoms‘ luminescent shades.
The formula contains a super high percentage of pearl, which will grant your eyes a marvellous shine and luminosity but with a weightless feel. We added Sodium PCA, a natural moisturiser that
maintains the water balance of the skin, makes the texture soft and elastic and the application creamy and easy. A sponge-tipped wand enclosed in a practical bottle will safely keep the pigment inside
and let it out only when you want it.


Application and use:


For a richly-gleaming look apply the Loose Glitter Pigments with its sponge applicator and blend it with the RBR Large Shader Brush 003.


Dust on with the RBR Large Shader Brush 003 for a more transparent glimmer.


To achieve a mirror-like sparkle buff FIRE DROPS with your fingertips over your eyelid.


Dust over the WHEN BIRDS ARE SINGING... Long-lasting Eye Shadows with the RBR Crease Brush 011 for a 3-dimensional look and to create your own rainbow of colours.
