I have five Stargazer products to share with you today. So let's get started with the baked eyeshadow in the shade 'Chill Out' which is a combination of two shades, a mint green a copper shade. I don't tend to like mixed shades in eyeshadow & they tend to blend together to make odd muddy colours & this does just that. Pigmentation isn't brilliant, giving just a greeny sparkle & the staying power isn't great either.
I was very excited to try the metallic eyeshadow pen in the shade Brown as it looked like a perfect coppery shade, which looks lovely on light green eyes like mine. Swatched, this pen looks pigmented & feels very smooth, but when on the lid & blended the strong colour fades & throughout the day the pen crease on my lids. I also used the pen along my bottom lash line & unfortunately as it is such a creamy consistency it smudged quite ba
Next is the Stargazer Matt Lip Stick I'm shade 209. As pretty as this looks in the tube, when applied to the lips it has a very thick & tacky feeling that I don't like. The colour is a little to light for my preference, but I have found use for it. when I'm wanting to mute other stronger lipstick shades I will apply this on the top & when mixed I other lipies the texture is a lot more bearable.
With not such great results from the past three products I didn't hold out much hope for the blusher, simply named Blusher 2. A deep berry shade with a slight sparkle to it, the sparkle doesn't transfer to the face but does leave a beautiful luminous effect. The texture of the blush is surprisingly lovely, & the colour pay off is amazing. I do have to use a light hand when applying as it is so strongly pigmented, but there is absolutely no fall out & it blends beautifully into the skin. I think this is a perfect Winter berry blush shade & I am very impressed with it.
Lastly is the product I was most excited about the Paper False Lashes. The set of lashes I own have a pretty floral & butterfly design. I was expecting the lashes to be quite hard to apply seeing as the band is made of paper to, but with one try the lashes stuck on easily. Surprisingly comfortable to wear too, obviously these aren't they type of lashes you would wear often but for dramatic looks there so pretty & I absolutely loved them.
This eye shadow look is not Stargazer, but just the lashes. |
Swatches & look with the product listed. |
The look you created is super pretty as always :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame about most of these products not being that good though. You can't beat an honest review sweetie :)
I'm the same when it comes to mixed colours, I back off! It always makes an awful brown colour.
The blusher looks gorgeous though hun :) I've been after a deep berry shade, but I think I'm going to go for a Sleek one as I love how pigmented and cheap they are xxxx
