2017 First Palette Review - Kat Von D Metal Mattes

Hello everyone, hope you guys are keeping well. It is almost the end of February now and I have my schedule sorted midways. Early this year, we had series of relatives visiting and 2 family gathering in my household and I was really busy. Apologies for the silence...

So I din't want this month to end without a post...so here I am with a review. I have a very interesting palette to be sharing with you guys....if you follow me on Instagram I am very sure you would have known by now....It is none other than the The Kat Von D's MetalMatte Palette. Below is how the box and the packaging looks like. The palette is the center one, on the top is the box.

The palette is made in USA and comes with 9 metallic and 13 matte shades. Each pan weighs about 1.7 grams and you can kind of understand by now that this is a steal and any makeup junkie would want to get their hands on this bad boy.

Yes I have dipped my fingers into every single pan in this palette and I have never felt this much value for my money. The top row are the metallic/shimmery ones and the bottom 13 are the matte shades. I was really debating hard if I should be getting this palette...but finally bought it anyway. Firstly the price was really affordable, RM 140 for 22 shades. It is on sale at www.sephoramy.com The service was fabulous, made my order on Wednesday and got my parcel on Friday.

You also get a guides that details 3 looks that can be created using this palette, Metal Maiden, Metalmatte Mashup and Velvet Romance.

I created a look using this palette this morning and I am calling it the lazy girl's smokey eye. Checkout my video to see a mini tutorial on this look.

Here are some are the swatches and a close up of the look that I created this morning.

So now, let's get into my first impressions:

1. Highly pigmented

2.Smooth application, velvet texture.

3.Awesome finger application

4.Brush application, need to work with care...can give some fall outs.

5. Amazing lasting power, doesn't get dissolved over oily lids

6. Pigment and shimmer stays put, may crease slightly if you have hooded lids.

7. Value for money (this bad boy is HUGE)

I am loving everything about this palette people. If you are looking into investing in a palette this year...get yourself this. You will love it just as much as i do. It is on sale at Sephora now...original price is RM 280+-

Physical Disability is No Disability of the Mind & Will

Real People, Real Stories; Featuring Khairul Nizam the founder of Jamumall Sdn. Bhd. I am delighted, honored and also inspired to write about a soul that doesn't know the meaning of the word "GIVING UP" . We tend to complain mostly about the things or environment that we are not blessed with. We tend to sideline everything good our creator, parents and many of life's teachings that we are generously given. Often, we overuse our power to procrastinate but never really fully utilize the ability to express our gratitude for the blessings we have and received in life. I personally do procrastinate, complain and constantly debate that life is not treating me kind. I never actually realized, that I am exactly where I am today of my own doings. If the doings are of any good, I would be able to live my life to the fullest and struggle would me nothing but a stepping stone to greater success to me. Here is an inspiring story of Mr. Khairul Nizam...

Smokey Blood Orange + Giveaway Sneak Peek

Hello dolls, I have a makeup tutorial for you ladies. This week, I created another Smokey Eye Look - "Smokey Blood Orange". Why smokey look you may ask? I am actually polishing my smokey eye makeup skills. I was once told that the shape of my eye cannot accommodate smokey/cat eye. In the effort of proving the nasty lady ( not mentioning names here) wrong. I am going full fledged in perfecting the smokey eye looks. This is what happens when you walk around makeup aisle without makeup on, people are so judgmental and they think we are ignorant just because they are. They were suppose to help us enhance our beauty and product knowledge. If I have the time, I really want to do more looks to share with you guys. I am not a social media addict, I still have no Twitter or Snapchat (lol) but every like on the other social medias that I get, just motivates me to do more. I am so blessed to have found ricedolls, is truly a platform to showcase your talent and learn for man...

Nesting

Dear Readers and Friends, Is time to dust the pages of this blog again. Much needed activity now that things are so much in order in my personal life. Well I have found home in places, I once thought will never be possible again. On top of everything, I have found home in me. Cliché much, well I don't think so....haha. When you take the right amount of rebirths..many many....then you will rediscover you over and over again. Fear has subsided, wholeness has started to take form. I may have started this blog 10 years ago. A younger self who had dreams as wide as the ocean....she never equipped herself to fight the rough tides. She got hit one too many times. Ended up in an island of hope, not knowing that both land waters houses challenges. Determined, she did make the island her fort, her safe space, her sweet spot... Forgetting the ocean for dreams, never thinking of going back to the waters to continue her quest. Her blessed heart, brought her wise words from her fairy-god-mother...
