Bday gift from myself- 120 color palette !!

December 23, 2010 By: Bhumika

Ok guys..yesterday was my bday..and I received my 120 color eye shadow palette I had ordered yesterday afternoon !! I was super duper happy and somewhere I was feeling I would get it on my bday !!

It was super nicely packed. At first I was shocked seeing such a small packet..coz I had thought it comes bigger in size looking at the pics all over net. After the main cover, it had thick double layer of bubble wrap.


And after removing those,it had 2 thick sheets of thermocol at the front and back…with double cello tapes on it too. Then after removing those, the palette finally with the thin bubble wrap again.

Phew !! I was tired removing all those..:p

I had ordered it on 8th Dec and I got on 22nd Dec…and this was free shipping !! Yay !!

I had heard that 2-3 eye shadows are always broken and that was right..my 2 eye shadows were broken…1 was yellow color and other a dark brown type..its ok..coz I am not gonna use yellow as it is..and there are already so many other yellows in it..ok..you ppl can gimme some tips on fixing those eye shadows..
And in the last row..the colors had spread a bit on each other…:(

I am happy nothing happened to the lower set as I loveee those colors…they look so pretty…

The colors that broke can be seen on the paper opposite..

The size if the eye shadows is indeed small..around a 50 paise coin..and thats why the small size of the palette..and that makes it perfect to even carry anywhere.

But considering I use makeup ocassionally this is gonna last me a longggg longg time..

The seller buyincoins is indeed very good…accept only Paypal..and reply promptly too..I loved shopping with them and plus the super cheap rates and free shipping..I got this palette for 13$..

Will I buy again: Yes obviously…I will get the 88 color warm palette and the 15 color concealer palette..but not now…may be after some time…after I get used to this palette a bit..

Any other reccos ?

    Awesome price! I also purchased a 120 palette and 4 of the eyeshadows broke also, which I was not at all happy about.. I paid more + shipping wasn’t free so you can see where I am coming from .. LOL.

    Aside from that, aren’t the colors great? I haven’t used mine yet, but can’t wait!

    Could you do a look for us using your favourite colors?

  15. Nivedita says

    December 23, 2010 at 7:34 pm

    Why not put the broken shadow in an empty lip-balm container? just wipe it with a sanitizer and put the powder in it?

    Hey. lovely palette. I’ve been eyeing the warm palette myself. But CS charges so much for it na? I checked out the seller. His prices are so good plus free shipping. I’m thinking of ordering the brush set from the seller. They’re so inexpensive. Only 14$ for the 32-piece set.

    Hey…Belated Birthday Wishes…!!! You can try fixing the broken eyeshadow by putting in some drops of glycerine in it and let it set by putting some force with your finger wrpped in tissue…
