Lunasol 10th Anniversary Makeup Palette

Seriously, sometimes I wish that I had an event to go to everyday or that I had 10 faces (not!) just to use the things in my collection. LOL. I also wish I had discovered my love of cosmetics sooner. Im such a late bloomer! heehee. which leads me to my actual post subject: the Lunasol 10th Anniversary Makeup Palette. I know its been out for a long while but I have been resisting, telling myself I don't want the mascara and the lip gloss, it would be a waste if I bought it. But after seeing the beige beige palettes get more attention recently, it ignited my interest for the palette (the beauty blogging world is such a tempting place to be in!) since i like neutral shades and the blush is super pretty, I finally got myself a set. woohoo! :)

The box and the palette pouch:

the patent brown pouch looks so sleek and pretty, too bad it's a fingerprint magnet. :(

What's inside:

In one palette, you get full sized best sellers: Skin Modeling Eyes in 01 Beige Beige, Coloring Cheeks in Reddish Beige, Full Glamour Gloss N in Ex 08 Beige Coral, Noble Shade Liner Ex 01 Deep Brown and High Stylized Mascara EL in 01 Black (smaller size)

Product close ups:

High Stylized Mascara EL Black

The mascara is mediocre, it doesn't curl or lengthen my lashes that much, the only thing I like about it is the wand. As facebook users would say: UNLIKE! hahaha! I'd rather stick with Lancôme and Majolica Majorca mascaras.

Full Glamor Gloss N in Ex 08 Beige Coral:

The gloss has a pretty shade of coral-pink and lots of shimmers which gives off a really pretty pout, it doesn't dry my lips that much like other glosses (hello NARS). See Blushed Wombat's extensive review and swatches here. Her lip swatches are amazing :)

Noble Shade Liner in Ex 01 Deep Brown:

I LOOOVE this liner! the applicator brush is just perfect (not too thin or thick for me), its easy to manipulate and the shade is a really beautiful chocolate brown with micro shimmers. It does not smudge and it dries quite fast. 5 stars! :)

swatches:

Overall, I really like this set, it would be great for traveling. The colors are all very wearable for everyday, I think it has a good value for money because you get a full sized eyeshadow palette, blush + highlighter and gloss plus the handy sized mascara and the eyeliner. Another LUNASOL LOVE! ♥.♥-

the nice, flat and  fuzzy applicator makes it easier to apply the product especially on the outer edges of your lips.

Kanebo Allie Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++

I bought the 25ml bottle just to try it out, its liquid consistency makes it glide on smoothly and it is not oily nor dry when applied to the face. I like it a lot. I think I will try the Allie whitening sunscreen next.

Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes SV887

swatch with brighter daylight. hahaha! 

SV887 E/S palette is a very pretty metallic with a touch of pink. At first i thought the pink color was vivid but it wasn't, but its okay because i think the colors compliment one another. I just regret not buying the other colors! i want the pink, violet and blue palettes as well after seeing them on lotuspalace! :)

Thats all for now, i hope you enjoyed reading as much as i have enjoyed making this post! Take care lovelies!
