Missha: M Dewy Glossy Eyes

This post will be dedicated to Missha's M Dewy Glossy Eyes. Essentially, they're cream eye shadows full of glitter. These eye shadows are supposed to give a glossy/dewy shimmery look. I love a glittery look, so I bought the entire range. The range comes in 6 shades: Berry Smoothie (J17P07), French Pie (I09P06), Grape Candy (J18P05), Honey Roast (H25P07), Orange Pekoe (H23P06), White Beach (H24P06).

Packaging looks cute!

Each shadow costs about $12.00 on the Missha US website. However, because I have a "VIP" membership (which means you spend $100 within a calender year), I get products for 30% off. So in the end it cost me about $8.40 per eyeshadow.

The packaging is beige and gold with a clear top. It is definitely beautiful and lux looking/feeling. The eyeshadows have a bouncy and creamy consistency.

While applying these shadows, I found that it was best to use my finger. It very difficult to pick up product with a brush . As you can see from the swatches, these shadows are not super pigmented, but does pack a glittery punch.

In the end, as excited as I was for these shadows, I was left disappointed. The shadows creased, faded, and moved around on my eyes, even when I used eye primer. They just didn't perform well for me and I would not recommend them. If you want an impactful and glittery look, I'd actually recommend the Aritaum Shine Fix Eyes instead. They're cheaper and perform much better than this M Dewy Glossy Eyes line.

Aritaum Mono Eyes

Today, I'll be talking about four eye shadows I've recently picked up from Aritaum! It's from their Mono Eyes collection, which are individual eyeshadows. Each eye shadow typically cost between $5-6 and come in a wide variety of shades, finishes, colors, and textures! (I bought these up on ebay.)

I picked up the following shades:

No. 37 Cocktail Dress

No. 95 Stand By Me

No. 102 New Blossom

No. 113 Candy Drops

Top from left to right: No. 113 (Candy Drops), No. 102 (New Blossom)
Bottom from left to right: No. 95 (Stand By Me), No. 37 (Cocktail Dress)

There were a bunch of other shades that I wanted to pick up, but I decided to be good and only pick up these colors. I have way too much makeup, but I've always wanted to try this brand out. I picked up mostly pinky/burgundy colors because I don't have a ton of these colors in my mostly neutral eyeshadow collection.

For some reason, the No. 95 (Stand by me) shadow is showing up a lot more red in the photo, but in real life it has a more of a pinkish hue to it. They all swatch well and are pretty pigmented. The glitter/shimmery shadows do need to be built up a bit, but they have such a pretty effect when it shifts in light at different angles. I find that using a patting motion with the glitter/shimmer shadows is the best way to apply them.

One thing to quickly note, you have to be careful with these eyeshadows because I lightly dropped No. 113 Candy drops and the eyeshadow completely shattered. I was able to kind of put it back together and use it, but I'm still kind of bummed about it. -__- (me and my butterfingers)

I will definitely buy more, but in the very distant future. I have way more eyeshadows than I know what to do with right now. But definitely pick up a few if you're interested!
