Asslamoallaikum and hello all!
The regular readers of my blog know that I love Luscious (a Pakistani makeup brand) very much.Uptill now I have reviewed the lip products and blush by Luscious (here).Today I have a very interesting eye product with a lovely name to share with all those girls,who like to glamorize their summer evenings.
These are one of the very first eyeshaodws/pigments that Luscious introduced.Frankly I wasn't expecting much and didn't even want to order,but my sister pushed me to do it(thank God I listened).I got to order this as a part of the Luscious Gift Hamper I was given.These eyeshadows pleasently surprised me.Find more about my experience.
Price is PKR575.I have got the shade SUMMER HOLIDAY.Other shades are here.

I love the packaging of these shadows.They come in a stack with the bottom of upper pot serving as lid of the lower one.It makes the eyeshadows interesting,but a little inconvenient to use.I mean you can not open them all at once without creating a small mess.
The quantity is more then enough.It will last me a long time,because one hardly uses a pinch at a time.
The pigmentation...oh the pigmentation.I just LURRRRVE it.Apply with fingers or a brush you get this gorgeous metallic,vibrant sheen.Especially the red color is so bright that its hard not to fall in love.Normally,the swatches in blog photos are intense and brighter then in real life(for better shots ofcourse),but with these shadows you get the exact same color and pigmentation as you can see in the swatches.
I had two fears with mineral eyeshadows.Number 1:They will be powdery or chalky.Number 2:They can not be build up.
As for my first fear...I was so wrong.The eyeshaodws have a very soft,satin texture.They dont feel powdery at all.I am also pleased to report that my second fear was baseless too.They can be build up to get the intensity of your liking.The eyeshadows just lovingy cling to the skin and stay there.If you run the brush over them again they will not wipe or come off.
The stay time was pretty decent.They stay on the lids for as long as you don't touch them.The color intensity and vibrance stays with you for the whole time.
Now the bad points...fall outs.Its not that much,but still enough to give you an untidy look.This can be fixed by applying lots of loose powder under the eyes before starting eye makeup and then dusting it off with a fluffy brush after you finish.
Secondly,you have to use a primer for these shadows.They are loose minerals and the application will improve alot if you wear them over a primer.Primer helps the eyeshadow stick to the lid area.(I use MUA eyeshadow primer mostly and Rivaj eyeshadow base sometimes).
Overall,I love them.
