Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow. Cienie do powiek Christian Dior 5 Couleurs.

Hello, 

this is a review of Christian Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow palette called also 5 Couleurs Designer. This famous eyeshadow palette has been used by professional makeup artists everywhere in the world. The great thing about this product is that it comes in many different colours.

Christian Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow Palette

 From Sephora you can buy:

• Bar 56 (a very interesting combination of colours: it contains browns, peach, white eyeshadows. It would be good for a day makeup look and will complement everybody's eyes)
• Pied-De-Poule 96 (darker shades of brown and grey, good for creating a dramatic look)
• Carré Bleu 276  (a variation of different shades of blue - cool and warm shades combined together)
• Tutu 846 (peach, pink, lilac - cool and warm shades combined together, they look very intensive and colourful in the palette)
• Trafalgar 876 (warm browns and pinks)
• 456 Jardin (peachy pinks, light green, khaki green)
• 166 Victoire (pink, plum, aubergine)
• 566 Versailles (light and medium shades of brown and gold)
• 156 Femme-Fleur (a very interesting combination of pinkie browns, this would especially suit people with hazel or green eyes but honestly it would be flattering on everyone)
• 796 Cuir Cannage (warm, medium and darker browns, it would look gorgeous on autumn type women with ginger hair and warm complexion)
• 646 30 Montaigne (warm, light shades of brown and peach)

There is also a limited edition 2014 holiday in:

• 046 Golden Reflections (light, medium gold)
• 756 Golden Shock (plum, gold, light pink)

I own the Couture Colour eyeshadow palette in 254 Bleu de Paris. 

Have you ever been to Paris? Could you compare blue of Paris to the colours of this eyeshadow palette? I have been there a few times, when I was a teenager, but at that time I wasn't interested in colour of the sky in Paris. There were certainly more interesting things on my mind then:). I have noticed that as we get older we start appreciating nature much more. Now I pay more attention to the colours of nature, changing of the seasons, singing birds, etc. Now we have -17 degrees Celsius here and I really admire the view of trees covered in blanket of snow. 

My Dior's eyeshadow palette is a mini palette. It was sold together with Iconic Overcurl mascara. I got it during the summer sale and it was about 20 euros:).

Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow with Iconic Overcurl

The palette looks very sweet and it is small so the application may be difficult (actually it is a bit pain in the a...). On the other hand it is good for the travelings. 

It consists of five shades: they have different textures - four shades are shimmery and one shade is totally matte. It is worth mentioning that the shimmer doesn't look cheap on the contrary it is very elegant. All the colours are combined beautifully and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. You can't go wrong with this palette. 

The colours are:

Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow

• sky blue (shimmer) - it is a base - light, the lightest colour one in the palette,
• denim blue (shimmer)-  colour - iridescent,
• silver (shimmer)- shade - satinity,
• dark grey (shimmer)- shine-pearlescent,
• navy blue (matte)-liner - mat
• mat, the darkest colour in this palette.

All the shades have blue undertone, even the silver and the grey one. Yes, I know now you are probably wondering how the silver one can be bluish:). But seriously it is this kind of silver with a blue hue. In the past I used to apply a silver eye kajal on my eyelids and many people were thinking that it was actually blue. How was this possible? The answer is that my complexion has cool/bluish undertone. 

Because Dior's palette is all about the blue it would be especially suitable for those of you who have cool undertones. It will compliment the colour of your complexion.

The eyeshadows are quite well pigmented and they blend well. With the primer they last all day long. Dior 5 Colour Eyeshadow applied in the morning still looks fresh in the evening. It is quite unbelievable because I have oily eyelids and my makeup tends to melt. But with Dior's eyeshadow palette there is no creasing. Hurrra! 

With 5 Colour Eyeshadow palette you can create two different looks: a natural look which is obviously great for the day time and the sophisticated look which is suitable for the evening. If you want to create a natural look you should use two upper shades plus the central one. 

For the evening makeup use the two lower shades plus the middle one.

The center shade is the most important because it is used as a lightener for the natural and the sophisticated look. I have to admit I like the natural look more and I have been applying the makeup according to the instructions from Dior's site: http://backstage.dior.com/makeup-mag/en/?_ga=1.131014159.1498444998.1415524082#/look/3746/5-couleurs and I am very happy with the result. Christian Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Bleu de Paris makes my eyes stand out:). I would recommend this eyeshadow palette to everyone, especially - as I have said before - that you can't go wrong with it.

Now the same written in my native language:)

Czesc dziewczyny,

na poczatku przepraszam za brak polskiej czcionki, ale uzywam finskiego komputera i nie mam mozliwosci dodania polskich znakow. Mam skryta nadzieje, ze Wam to nie bedzie przeszkadzac. Z gory dziekuje za wyrozumialosc i zapraszam do lektury.

Chcialabym Wam zrecenzowac palete cieni od Diora. Ta paleta to prawdziwy klasyk uzywany przez makijazystow na calym swiecie. Mam wiec i ja:). A tak na powaznie, to paleta byla dolaczona do tuszu do rzes Iconic Overcurl i wszystko to za cene okolo 20 euro, wiec kto by sie nie skusil. Tym bardziej, ze zestaw jest w niebieskiej, chlodnej tonacji, wiec jak znalazl dla kobiety o typie urody lato, czyli dla mnie i wedle statystyk wiekszosci z Was.

Palety cieni Diora maja wiele roznych odmian kolorystycznych. Naprawde jest w czym wybierac. W czesci angielskiej opisalam krotko dostepne zestawy, jesli ktos jest zainteresowany, to zapraszam do zerkniecia wyzej. Tutaj mozne wspomne jeszcze raz o trzech zestawach, ktore wywarly na mnie najwieksze wrazenie:

796 Cuir Cannage - zestaw brazow w cieplej tonacji. Wyobrazam sobie, ze swietnie pasowalby rudowlosym dziewczynom:)

156 Femme-Fleur - bardzo interesujaca kombinacja rozowych brazow, najlepsza dla wlascicielek zielonych i tzw. piwnych oczu, choc tak naprawde, to pewnie pasowalaby kazdemu

Tutu 846 - roz, brzoskwinia, lila - bardzo kolorowo i wesolo, choc przyznam Wam, ze nie wiem czy bym sie odwazyla uzyc tego zestawu.

Sama jestem posiadaczka numeru 254 - Bleu de Paris. Przy tworzeniu tego zestawu kierowano sie podobno wizja koloru paryskiego nieba. Ja wpradzie bylam w Paryzu kilka razy, ale jako nastolatka, i wtedy nie kolor paryskiego nieba byl mi w glowie:). W ogole, to zauwazylam, ze dopiero niedawno zaczelam podziwiac nature, as I grow older (nie chce uzywac slowa: starzeje sie:).

W zestawie cztery cienie maja polysk i tylko jeden jest matowy. Cienie z polyskiem bynajmniej nie wygladaja tanio, bazarowo, przeciwnie dodadza Wam eleganckiego uroku. Jednyny matowy cien w kolorze ciemno niebieskim najlepiej nadaje sie do rysowania kresek na powiece.

Centralnym kolorem palety jest jasno niebieski cien, ktory moze byc uzyty w kombinacji z dwoma gornymi cieniami (dzinsowym niebieskim i srebrnym), albo z dwoma dolnymi cieniami (ciemnoszarym i ciemnoniebieskim). 

Wszystko zalezy od tego jaki efekt chcemy uzyskac: naturalny czy wieczorowy tzw. sophisticated look:). Ja wole makijaz naturalny i musze Wam sie przyznac, ze korzystalam tu ze wskazowek zawartych na stronie Diora: http://backstage.dior.com/makeup-mag/en/?_ga=1.131014159.1498444998.1415524082#/look/3746/5-couleurs i efekt przerosl moje najsmielsze oczekiwania. W ogole polecam Wam zajrzycie na strone Diora, jest tam reklama tych cieni, ale bez  modelek. To raczej gra soczystymi barwami: wyobrazcie sobie sproszkowane cienie w soczystych kolorach wyrzucone w przestrzen. Niesamowite.

Wracajac do cieni, to sa one swietne:

• maja aksamitna teksture
• nie rozmazuja sie
• z primerem od Lumene pozostaja w stanie nienaruszonym do samego wieczora, a mam tlusta cere i ciagle cos majstruje przy twarzy
• sa dosc dobrze napigmentowane
• latwo sie blenduja
• wydajne
• bardzo harmonijnie polaczone pod wzgledem kolortystycznym
• ciezko byloby zrobic sobie nimi krzywde, mam wrazenie, ze makijaz oczu mozna wykonac wrecz intuicyjnie
• podkreslaja oczy, wydobywaja ich piekno, oczy wysuwaja sie zdecydowanie na pierwszy plan 

Jedyne do czego sie mozna przyczepic, to oczywiscie cena, ale za jakosc sie placi. 

Dziewczyny, mam nadzieje, ze moja recenzja jest dla Was przynajmniej w malym stopniu przydatna. Dla mnie to taki maly eksperyment: dwujezyczne recenzje w jednym poscie, ale chcialam bardzo sprobowac jak to bedzie wygladac. 

Na zakonczenie polecam wszystkim palete cieni Diora i dziekuje za uwage.

Pozdrawiam

Lumene Beauty Base Eyeshadow primer, for eye makeup that stays in place all day

Hi,

lumene Beauty Base Eyeshadow primer is my favourite product from Lumene. This is a classic, a legend. This is a really high quality product and I feel I don't have to write an essay to convince you:).

I have oily skin, sometimes my makeup just "melts" during the day. Without Lumene Beauty Base Eyeshadow primer I can forget about using eye shadows because after a couple of hours there is nothing left. With Lumene's eye primer my eye shadows last all day long and it doesn't matter if I use cheap or expensive eye shadows. It also intensifies the color of eye shadow.

 Basically everything what Lumene says about this product is true. I can recommend this eye shadow primer to everyone.

From Lumene’s site:

 “eye shadow primer fixes the eye shadow in place and keeps it flawless all day. Allows neat and even application of eye shadow and eyeliner. Neutral beige shade evens out the colour of eyelid skin. Ensures beautiful, fresh eye shadow colours on the eyelids. Also suitable as a lipstick primer.


Use and tips:

dab a small amount of eye shadow primer on the eyelids. Blend in. Powder your eyelids lightly. Apply eye makeup".

Greetings,
Joanna

Isadora eyeshadow quartet, 27 Amethyst Chrystal, eye shadow palette

Hello,
today I am reviewing Isadora eye shadow palette in Amethyst Crystal.

Product description:

Richly pigmented cream powder eye shadow 

– Color coordinated shades for advanced and creative make-up 

– Easy to apply and tone 

– Extra long lasting 

– Double applicator included 

– Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers 

Fragrance free. Clinically tested.

My opinion:

This palette consists of four colours which can be used alone or combined. I usually use white one to highlight the eyes and light lilac and light brown for accentuating the colour of my eyes. Because they have shimmering specks I use them rather for special occasions.

The eye shadows are silky and easy to apply. They are long lasting even on my oily eyelids. I think the secret of these eye shadows is the micro-fine formulation and thanks to this they blend perfectly. The box is big-5,2 g, so they will last for a long time.

Ingredients: Talc, Triticum Vulgare, Triticum Vulgare Starch, Cyclomethicone, Lanolin Oil, Cetyl Acetate, Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol, Propylparaben, Methylparaben. [+/- May contain: CI 77491/Iron Oxides, CI 77492/Iron Oxides, CI 77499/Iron Oxides, CI 77007/Ultramarines, CI 77742/Manganese Violet, CI 77289/Chromium Hydroxide Green, CI 77288/Chromium Oxide Greens, CI 19140:1/Yelloe-5-Lake, CI 77510/Ferric Ferrocyanide, CI 42090:2/Blue-1-Lake, CI 75470/Carmine, CI 77891/Titanium Dioxide, Mica]

Gosh, Eye Shadow in Love that Dolphin, light blue, long lasting

Hello,
today I am reviewing my favourite eye shadow made by Gosh in Love that Dolphin colour.

Product's description:

Silky and creamy eye shadow stick, easy to apply. The high quality formula means it stays on for a long time and keeps looking fresh without melting, therefore it is perfect for those that have problems with watery eyes. This product is a new type of eye shadow, ideal for athletes, as it is waterproof. Due to its high melting point, the eye shadow will keep well even in warm weather conditions. All shades have a soft pearly effect. The creamy consistency is easy to tone out on the eyelid either with a finger or an applicator/brush.

My opinion:

I love that dolphin, too. I adore its colour. It is light sea blue which accentuates my eye colour which is dark green. It adds an instant radiance and freshness even when my eyes are tired because I haven't sleep long enough. Lately I have been trying a different type of makeup without this eye shadow but my friends said that I look  better when I wear it. So, yes, Love that dolphin eye shadow is my must have:).                        

                                                              Before blending

After blending

I have oily skin and it does stay on its place all day. At the same time it is very easy to remove with oil or eye makeup remover.
The eye shadow is silky and creamy indeed and it is easy to apply. It has an interesting packaging, twist type, so it will last long time.

Joanna

Sante Naturkosmetik, Eyeshadow Trios, Smokey Eyes 06, organic natural eye shadow for smokey eyes

Hello,

today I would like to review a Sante eyeshadow Trios in 06 Smokey Eyes. They are gorgeous and my favourite eye shadows. 

Sante Naturkosmetik Eyeshadow Trios in 06

I don't use eye shadows too often but this small compact is always in my make up bag. It comes with a mirror and a small brush which surprisingly I find quite useful. If I need more define look then I use different, let's say more professional type of brushes:).

The eye shadow compact consists of three shades: frosty white and two frosty brown colours. Because they have cool undertone they are ideal for a summer type woman:). But to be honest they will compliment any type:). The white colour is good for highlighting, the browns add depth to the eyes. Because the colours are very natural they are ideal for creating smokey eyes look. Beautiful,  radiant and natural look guaranteed:).

The texture of Eyeshadow Trios is as smooth as silk:). For that reason they are very easy to apply and blend. The staying power is moderate but I have oily eyelids so nothing really stays there without a primer. If I use a primer these eye shadows will stay nice and fresh for the whole day.

This product contains organic olive oil, jojoba oil and chamomile. It is also certified by the BDIH as a natural product and contains only organic and natural ingredients. Certain ingredients may also carry the Ecocert mark. Also according to manufacturer talc used in this product "is certified free of asbestos and is not nano-refined so will not penetrate the skin". 

Ingredients: Talc, Magnesium Stearate, Lauryl Lactate, Lauroyl Lysine, Parfum (Essential Oils), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Bisabolol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract*, Mica, [+/-CI 77499, CI 75470, CI 77007, CI 77288, CI 77289, CI 77510, CI 77742, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77492]

I can recommend this product to everyone. It is natural, safe to use and it will  bring out and enhance the natural beauty of your eyes.  You will have eyes you have always dreamt of:).

Greetings and thank you for reading,

Joanna
