The colours are pretty pigmented and smooth. Not chalky. A little gritty, but it’s acceptable. I like this palette a lot! :D

Swatches:

I love the Avon lipstick! It’s smooth and creamy! :D It’s a blue tone rose red, which contains gold shimmers in it which is so pretty! Ah~ I love this shade! Perfect for a girl’s night out!

It’s pretty pigmented, so I use a lip brush to swipe it on my lips :)

The CS gel liner is creamy! I like it! ^_^ The colour looks like a dark blue in the pot, but in real life, on my hands and eyes, it’s leaning a little towards a purplish blue. Very very pretty if you ask me :D

And as for Kate, my favourite shade is D. The blue is really nice, and as a base, team up with the CS liner, it’s a nice simple eye makeup! Ah!

How do you like my smokey blue eye look?

Hideous? I myself think the look is not very pretty.

Sigh. Need to buck up on my skills!

Comments are welcomed!

    as much as i think japanese mu being too sheer for me, this blue palette looks very nice especially the swatches you did. it looks pigmented enough for me… i gotta check it out and that gel liner too. i have heard about it but haven’t seen one at any Kate counters that i had been. just bad luck or something.

    thanks for the breakdown and this look is good on you.

    You’re right, shade D is really pretty! Avon’s cosmetics are decent for the price, but so far I’ve only used my Avon lippies twice since I bought them :D Where did you get your Sana curler? Is it available at SaSa?

    hey, Plue. Oh, I like your blue color themed smokey eyes. Plus it goes well with your red lips, I’d say this i s a great going to party look. I like the turban look you’re pulling here.

    Oh, I bought the CS gel liner in 24K, a lovely gold creamy color. I am surprised at how smooth it goes on and it stays pretty long for oily lids like me! I was thinking of trying MAC fluidline, but not anytime sooner. Oh, have you tried any MAC fluidline and how does CS compare to MAC’s color and texture? Thanks, good day!

    Hello Vivian, thanks for the compliments!

    CS gel liner ain’t bad right? I quite like it too! But i hope it has more dark colours for liners. A lot of them are too light!

    MAC Fluidline i only have one, which is Macroviolet. The texture isn’t too bad, kinda creamy, for this particular colour, you need to layer quite a few times to get really intense colour. :)

    Go for Fluidline if u have the money and want colours that CS don’t have.

    Otherwise, stick with CS.

    I’m being honest here..you need to hit the gym. And drink more water.

    Chubbiness aside, your face looks all puffy. The makeup doesn’t seem to have a smooth canvas for it to fully flaunt its ability to ‘beauty-up’ someone.

    Gals are not the sort to tell the truth, especially in a friend’s face. They’d tell you you look ‘hot’, ‘ready to paint the town red’, etc, etc, for the sake of cheering a friend up.

    But do you want to be wrapped in bubble-wrap forever? Outspoken behaviour may sting, but if nobody tells you to stop wasting money on makeup and brushes, and start exercising more instead, you’d never be motivated to do so, would you?

    My best friend was dumped by a guy. She’s not the prettiest gal in the clique, but she has a good heart. Everybody loved her. We all did.Her boyfriend’s new woman’s a freelance model. I hate to say it, but the vixen’s HOT.

    And yet, I stand amidst hisses of “you’re much prettier than that bitch”, “even with pimples, you’re still more attractive than HER”.

    I know there are ways to comfort someone, but lies should not be one of them. Take her out of a movie, watch a hunk video with her, tell her what a great person she is, but do NOT lie blatantly in her face.

    Plue, you’re a nice woman. But if you do not take care, you’d look older than your age. The cheeks have some hint of puffiness…sagging. Believe me, gymming really burns excess fat, and tones your muscles too. You’d look less sickly, more alert, and a much MORE ‘beautied up life’.
