Motives Pressed Eye Shadows in Heiress and Aphrodite Review

June 8, 2011 By: Bhumika

Motives By Loren Ridinger is a well known brand and has lots of amazing products…you can find more of it here

Motives Pressed Eye Shadows come in 73 colors and in that there are some recent new additions..

What does the Company claim: Primary Benefits of Motives® Pressed Eye Shadow:

Impeccable color retention that does not run or crease so you always look your best
Even, smooth and silky application for a glamorous glow
Deflects the light away from fine lines, skin imperfections and hyper-pigmentation, creating a flawless look
Mix and match to create a soft, natural or dramatic look
Paraben, fragrance and oil free


What Makes Motives® Pressed Eye Shadow Unique?
Ultra smooth and luxurious, these eye shadows are crease-proof and deflect the light away from fine lines to help visibly reduce the signs of aging for a bright, polished look. The Motives Pressed Eye Shadows have impeccable color retention that does not run or crease so you always look your best. They glide on ultra smooth with incredible hold, a flawless look, and a luxurious feel and finish. Take the guesswork out of looking gorgeous. The Motives Pressed Eye Shadow promises to give you the long-lasting, high-color look you have always wanted.
These are Latina Beauty Award Winner.

MRP: 12$ for 1.8g

Heiress is described as pearlized finish..its a shimmery pink…believe me the shimmer is so much that it just would not go from my hands..it can be used as an highlighter and works great that way.

Aphrodite is described as matte..though its not completely matte..its a light purple color..

Both are new additions in their collection.

L-R: heiress,aphrodite

I had received both broken esp the Heiress and everyone had a similar complaint..coz these are very very soft in texture..I am going to use them as pigments now..they work fine…m yet to break them completely though//but I have transferred them in separate containers..I do not want to add rubbing alcohol otherwise could have fixed them..would try some time if I feel like.

Pros:

1. They have a buttery soft texture.
2. Very easy to blend.
3. Huge variety of colors to choose from.
4. Stay on well for 4-5 hours without a primer.
5. Pretty nice packaging…you can carry it along too.
6. Does not crease.

Cons:

1. Heiress is very shimmery and thats why there is fall out..the pearlized ones are not for daytime use.
2. They do not ship to India.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..these are quite nice.

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion

    hey! you can press them back – There is a way!

    cover a coin with a clean cloth
    spray the powder with an astringent with high levels of alcohol and press into the container

    When the alcohol evaporates your cakes will be good as new
