em michelle phan - Life Palette Moments - Winter Life: Ice Bunny Edition

Tuesday, December 17, 2013

Hey, hey! I'm back with another em cosmetics review with swatches! This time I took advantage of the Ipsy 30% off code we got in our bags for November. Since I had already gotten a FULL life palette, I wanted to try one of the Limited Edition Life Palette Moments [Minis].

So, just like the previous packaging, it came wrapped up in hot pink tissue paper with a "thanks for your purchase" card.

Here comes the good stuff! I really do LOVE the outside packaging. I love the wintery theme and the cute little bunny on the front cover.

Just like the Life Palette, these Moments have a cute inside cover with looks that can be achieved with this palette. One thing that i didn't like was that it didn't come with a lookbook or a "get the look" card. The only tutorial with this palette is online on the website. I guess that's ok, but it's still nice to get a how-to in the packaging. I do like how I can just pop this palette right out of the box without actually disassembling the entire thing.

Boom, here it is! I love how it still comes with brush to use, but like I said in my original post -- where can you put it in the smaller palettes?

Here's a closeup of this beauty. Can you tell that I pretty much already like it?

Okay, now on to the good stuff! I really love the lip glosses in this palette. Both of them are super glossy, very sheer, and totally ME! The peachy blush is also quite amazing! I love how it's got specks of iridescent shimmer in it. Too bad it never snows in FL, lol. Thanks goodness for Winter in a makeup palette!

ALL of these colors had an AMAZING formula! They aren't dry and they aren't creamy. They are velvety smooth...almost satin-like. Black Pumps is a pretty sheer black shadow which is appropriate for a winter "ice-bunny" palette. I do wish Ice Bunny had a little bit more blue tint to it, but I could easily layer this with some of the frosty blues in my Party Life palette.

Overall, I say this was a win! I hear rumors that her new liquid liners will be out in January/February. I absolutely want to get my hands on those. I've been wanting those since the first tutorials were up on her cosmetics site. We'll see if I get them sooner or later, haha.

  4. These are great colors, some of them actually resemble those in the Studio Gear Holiday palette. Ice bunny looks fab. Thanks for sharing
