U.Mi eyeshadow in godness (pink) review

Recently I felt in love with natural make up ever since my boy can't differentiate my real lashes and false lashes... I like it when he thought I was wearing false lashes when I am not (LOL) hahaha!

Hence, eyeshadow plays an important role when it comes to eye makeup and the current trend is natural colours. Basically close to nude colours but I am not a huge fan of way-too-nude colours... I mean what is the point of wearing make up when everyone can't tell the difference? 

So I was finding for a sheer and natural colour that does not looks too obvious and too natural.. (What the... ~(=w=~) 

It was a hard journey... *wind blows* but I found it!! 

Introducing *drum hits*

(no edits and lack of creativity after being zombified by assignments X_X)

Name: Godness

Brand: U.Mi

Ingredients: Mica, carmine, titanium dioxide

nett weight: 2.35g

Origin: made in U.S.A

( I love the name hahaha!)

As usual, let's start from the appearance. It's unattractive, plain and simple. I prefer a princess-looking packaging... 

This is how it looks like when you opened it. There are 3 holes inside but I didn't tear the plastic out is not the powder might over-leaked. Instead, I poked a hole. 

The texture of the powder is smooth and the powder might fly all over your face when you accidentally scooped too much powder onto a brush. (feels like pixie dust LOL)  
Even the brush can sense whether or not you took too much powder, so a little goes a long way.

Unlike other conventional eyeshadows, it is in loose powder form. 

Pros:

• 0% harmful substances since making a baked eyeshadow required chemicals.

Cons:

• Inconvenient if you wanna travel cause it might fly all over the place when you open it.

It felt like as if the powder have anti-gravity power... I tried turning the lid but the it still won't fall down... (and yes, it stays on my eyelids strongly too)

Colour wise, it looks amazing. From far it looks like shimmer of pink and slight sliver. If you looked closely you can see a mixture of pink/gold/ violet (the violet does not appear most of the time hahaha) it felt like scooping stars that appeared during twilight and put them on your eyelids without being too pigmented. 

(I am pretty sure you can't see what I have described... sorry my camera is not that good)

It can lasts for 6 hours without sweating or oil (in a air-conditioned room). 

The price is RM88. Why so expensive? 

because it's 100% mineral makeup, so even the most sensitive skin can apply them. #truestory

Here is a short clip of the eyeshadow. 

Yes, I was sponsored for this post. 

Even so, whatever I have written is based on my sincere point of view. 

Hope it helps! 

tata!

U.Mi workshop

I went to Unique Mineral Make Up (U.Mi) workshop. It was very informative! Priscilla (the instructor) taught us so many new knowledge about make up! The information seriously leave me in awe... (mostly shock)

(That kawaii dog behind me is Giselle)

Why? Well, I will tell you girls about it in my next post. For now, I wanna focus on their make up! 

This display set looks modern. (I like the led thingy *giggles*) We get to try their 100% mineral make up, it is safe for all skin to use (even the most sensitive skin). 

Their mineral loose powder comes in 4 different shades. The most popular is no.03, warmer undertone that suits most Asian skin colour. 

Their powder is my favorite product in this brand. It won't oxidize and darken my face by the end of the day and it gave me a natural finish! If I uses them, no one even knows I wear powder. (no kidding #truestory). 

(this picture contain no filter and no edits: after powder application)

At first try, it can't give me the coverage I want as I am still new to applying foundation and concealing with just one loose powder and 2 brushes (one powder brush and one concealing brush).

and then Priscilla demonstrated to me. There is only 3 steps required:

1) pour

(pour the little amount of powder on the lid)

2) Swirl

(swirl the powder evenly on the brush)

3)blend

(blend the mineral powder on my face by doing circle)

Actually if I practiced more, these steps would be a piece of cake! *laughs*

Cause applying other sort of foundations took me quite a while to learn as well.

The one in the middle is their adorable (premium looking) brush! I LOVE GOLD COLOUR SO MUCH! This is definitely my type of brush! 

This brush felt so silky smooth. Not coarse like animal fur! I love it! It hold the powder well too! I used this brush to apply my base make up. 

Now, eyeshadows!!! There are 5 shades, pink, blue, purple, white and brown. My favorite was the pinkish-pearlish colour! All their eyeshadows are shimmery, which makes it easy for everyone to use. (I am bad at using matte eyeshadow #yetanothertruestory)

You can use several ways to apply these mineral eyeshadows.

1) dry 

(normal way of applying eyeshadow)

2) wet 

(mix it with some water for the colour to be more pigmented)

3) Lips

(mix them with Vaseline and put it on the lips, they are safe so it's okay to do so)

4) nails

(dap some eyeshadow on the transparent nail polish and you can use them as nails colour)

Cool huh?

These are their mascara and gel eyeliner. I like how their gel liner glide easily on my eye lids. It smudges a little on the bottom of my eyes after 1 or 2 hours cause I have watery eyes when I wear contact lens.

These are their lead-free lipsticks that does not last long.

Things that last long contain high amount of chemicals.Their lipsticks are very gentle because even if you have the driest and most chapped lips on this planet you can still use these chemical-free lipsticks, aren't like conventional lipsticks, they won't do any harm. 

(special thanks to Kelly for the swatches demo: her blog link)

These are the swatches. The tone of these lipsticks will change depending on individuals' body temperature, so these shades might not look the same on you.

On the left is shimmer (highlight) powder and on the right is the blusher. They only have one shade for their blush. As I mentioned before about their lipsticks, the tone differs due to the differences of individuals' body temperature. So one blush might create different results on different person's cheeks. 

SO I guess that is! I will do another post about what information I have learned from the workshop. 

You can drop by their Facebook page here. Their website is still under construction.

Hope this helps!
