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

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

Motives Shape and Sculpt Duo Review

Uncategorized, , , , ,
This shape and sculpt duo is a 2 in 1 product and can be used both for contouring and highlighting. It is very similar to MAC Sculpt and Shape powder..in packaging too.

What the Company claims:
Primary Benefits of Motives® Shape & Sculpt Duo:
Two-in-one highlighter and matte contour powder
Luxurious formula that glides on smoothly to highlight and sculpt
Designed for all skin types
Non-irritant formula
Paraben, oil and fragrance free

What Makes Motives® Shape & Sculpt Duo Unique?

Double-sided compact that contains everything you need to highlight and contour like a pro. The dark side creates depth in areas such as the hollows of your cheeks. Using the light side brings the eye forward, highlighting areas such as the bridge of the nose or chin. Contouring can help accentuate and hide imperfect face structures, making you look your best every day.

MRP: 21 $ for 10g

There is a dark brown..a perfect shade for contouring and a beige shade which is an amazing highlighter. Both have very fine shimmer….which is not that visible but gives that subtle glow…

Pros:

1. This has an amazing creamy finish…very soft to touch….loved the texture.
2. Blends well.
3. Awesome pigmentation.
4. Stays well for 4-5 hours.
5. Does not settle at places or fade unevenly.
6. Economical as you get two products in one.

Cons:

1. They do not ship to India…:(

Overall I think its a fab product and a must have for all. More on contouring..See Kandee do it here
