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?
The names of the items in the palette.
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.
What do you think of this mini palette? Would you get it for $29? Let me know what em products you have tried!
