Review: UNII palette

Finally got my hands on the uni palette that I wanted for years. Didn't buy them previously as I didn't have much to deport. However, after few years of being a makeup addict, I realize that a lot of them have been neglected due due to inconvenience of getting them. Coincidentally, my buddy went to US so I immediately order them! I got 3 of them which cost cheaper in different colour, so that I can somehow colour quote my eyeshadow and without opening and what eyeshadow do I have inside:)

Delivery

I got mine delivered to my friend's apartment and within 7days, he got the package nicely pack with no damage at all! Even the packaging has no damage! Thumbs up for that!

Packaging

The packaging is really sleek and classy. I love simple packaging like this as it will never go wrong! It consists a cover slot- in, a box and a plastic that helps to prevent stretches! I would say if the product inside isn't in good quality the packaging itself will not be able to protect them from cracking. So, from the packaging you can see that how great is the palette! Not only that, they design it in a way that is so Eco-friendly! All you need to do is to tear the cover slot-in and here comes your directions to depot your makeup pan! Really love the design idea of this.

Product

Nothing can win the palette design! It's so sleek and pretty! The quality is definitely 'A' grade. The grade of Muji acrylic series. However, more fun looking due to the lovely selections of colour! I bought a lavender, turquoise and a coral one. I kinda regretted not buying the yellow palette as I felt it look so pretty too! 

The magnet sheet given is really thin too! You will have to cut to the same size to the pan to make it just as strong. I'm quite surprise on how thin the magnet plate can be. Pic can't even see the difference of those eyeshadow with magnet and those without!

Opening the palette is really easy too. The catch is not as difficult as I thought. It open up real smooth. The huge mirror inside is the best! So this palette is the best for traveling use! I have already use 2 of the palette and are reluctant to use my third one even though I have some more eyeshadow to deport as I want that to be my traveling palette.

The Negative 

However, there are still some area to improve. One of them will be the weight of the palette. I can't really put a blame to that due to the quality of it. Just like Muji acrylic storage. They are freaking heavy too! Another is the product magnet plate inside. As I got difficulty cleaning some glue stain on the plate of the palette, I simply clean it with rubbing alcohol and the colour just came off! Kinda sad about it but lucky, the pure white plate doesn't look that bad. Lesson learned. Hahahaha!

Also, as uni palette has only 1 size, I think it's good for eyeshadow but not anything too big. It's good for eyeshadow storage and traveling use but might not be suitable for blush/bronzer storage. But that's the main purpose of uni palette! To make traveling easier and convenient.

Yeap!  That's the end of my review! If you wanna see the process of me have my eyeshadow depot, please feel free to lick at the video below!

And yes! today is my birthday!!!! Thanks for those who wish me!

Review: Shiseido Foundation Brush

I have this brush since last September. As i have heard a few good review on this and this is also Shiseido "first" brush that they have come out. Believing Shiseido product quality, I decided to give it a try. Also, for a quality brush, it cost only S$40! (I got mine with 20% off~)


It claims:
"Finally, a foundation brush for use with all formulations - liquid, cream or powder. Shiseido's innovative technology combines with traditional Japanese brush-making techniques to create the perfect foundation finish. Excellent pick-up of all types of formulas for a uniform application and impeccable finish. Gently tapered strands create an angled slant that best allows bristles to reach all facial contours. Short handle allows for precise control during application and portability for travel."


Package:
I have to say that i am in love with the handle. Though it's slightly shorter (4.5") than normal MAC brushes, more like a travel brush, the quality of the handle makes them look very elegant and expensive. I like the fact they use dark Metallic plum colour on the head of the brush with contrast of black and brown. It just make makes that bit of difference among the other black brushes and yet showing their stable colour. I personally do not like my brush to have different colour. The quality of the handle is really good! I have dropped and travel with this alot of times and i see no dent! I believe the black handle is made up of plastic. I am not very sure.


While on action:
After using this with my creams and liquids, it becomes the brush that i will always go for. Basically, I use this almost everyday. The brush has a small surface and it's very dense. Meaning, you will have very good control. Also with the slanted cut, you can get into the corner area like the sides of the nose, cupid, etc. It blend really smoothly and flawless with putting any force and without pricking you! The hair brush is fantastic. Even my Baby Niece and Nephew love playing with them. They also love playing with my Ecotools Kabuki... I have washed it so many times and i see no shedding. I haven't use this with powder but i believe with the density of the brush, it will definitely gives you a nice coverage.

Look how dense it is!!!

 I am using a bit of force because it's really dense. 

Pro:

• Sleek, Compact and vasertile. Good for travelling
• Small, Dense brush. Will have very good control.
• Very soft bristle. Product simply glides on you face.
• Very nice slant cut which enable use to reach the cornered area on our face.
• Pricing is reasonable!

Cons:

• Small surface, some might not like it. Not very good for the neck as it will takes a long time

How do I cleanse it:
Some of you might be curious on how i cleanse my brush. Especially with such dense brush, it's a bit difficult to 100% cleanse it as there will definitely some left in the middle. (Basically, for this brush, You only use the outer to the middle of the bristle.) I used to was this with Kirei Kirei and a mixture of Olive Oil. But there will still have a bit residue left there. What i like doing is to use a small bottle cap like below, Fill a little your brush cleanser(mine is the MAC Brush Cleanser), and soaked you brush in it. You can use dipping motion just like you dipped this on you face. After about a minute, all residue can be seen.

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!!

That is to wash them regularly. And i mean it. First it's not good for your clean face as everything has bacteria and also if the residue is there long term, it will be very difficult to wash them away! You do not want to waste money to buy another brush right? And not to let you face sacrifice because of your laziness right? So wash them! :))) It's rather fun to wash them and see how clean they are too! hehe~

So in total, It's a very good foundation brush for foundation! And it's very good for the beginner too! It's really easy to blend your foundation! If you have use this before, please let me know what do you think about it! I love to know~ :) Hope this review helps!
