Glamlite Cosmetics – Alondra Dessy ✌
……
👁 Look Created: Messy Split-Eye
……
⚫ Packaging: 1.2g each, thin bi-fold burgundy velvet-feel cardboard packaging, palette name is front & center, light-weight, magnetic closure, medium rectangle shape, large mirror inside, pans are not intended to be removable, shade names are designated below each shadow
……
⚫ Country of Origin: China
……
⚫ # of Shades in Palette: 15 total shades (all eyeshadows)
⚫ Type of Press: soft – a lot of kickback in pan, fallout on my face; recommend doing eyes first with this palette
……
⚫ Extra Information: one of Glamlite’s few non-food themed palettes, collaboration with Beauty Influencer Alondra Dessy – Ms. Dessy custom-curated this entire palette based on her signature eye looks, cruelty-free, vegan, no PAO on palette (may have been on original box)
🔸️Fallout: experienced a lot of fallout, mostly from the creamy foiled metallic shade ‘Rosé All Day’
🔸️Shade Variance: this palette only gives you one depth option, which really limits the variance of complete looks you can do. It does have a nice ‘light-to-dark’ gradient, & a few neutral transition shades
🔸️Formula: the matte formula is simply amazing. It is my second-favorite formula in this palette. Have you ever tried a ‘creamy-feeling’ matte? That’s what these are. They play well together, blend with ease, & build nicely on top of each other. Next, the duo-chrome is a true duo-chrome, going from a peachy-pink to a yellow-gold. No complaints about it. Next, the diamond-shimmers are my favorite formula in this palette. They aren’t as bright as the foiled metallics, BUT they work with a brush, & they are a lot more user-friendly. Lastly, I honestly had soooo much trouble with the creamy foiled metallic formula. It does NOT pick up on a brush, & when you actually get to applying it – it’s chunky & flake-city. They are very pretty swatched out, but a major pain to work with on the eye. If you use your finger to pack them on, you can avoid the chunks & flaking. I just hate using my damn finger for eyeshadows.
🔸️Packaging: I’m always a fan of the velvet-feeling packaging. You don’t see a ton of palettes with it, & it looks fancy & feels nice in the hands.
🔸️Recommendation: I had a lot of fun creating today’s eye-look. I think this palette pairs perfectly with this type of look. I LOVE that this palette gives you the option to play with so many diverse formulas in such a small package. The price per shade is really great, & I think the formulas you are getting (for the price) are excellent! The palette itself is easy to store. I am keeping this in my collection. If you are interested in this palette, I would definitely recommend it.
