REVIEW AND SWATCHES: ELF Mad for Matte palette

hi guys, today i am going to review ELF mad for matte palette!

I accidentally read the review about this palette online few months ago, and i was very amazed by this ALL MATTE PALETTE, i am not a glitter/shimmer shadow person, so i was thinking that i must get it because it has all the shades i want and it is ALL MATTE!

I was searching for it for weeks, and finally i got it! I paid RM60 for this, but if you can buy it directly on elf website it is just USD10!

The palette looks like this, very simple i like it!


Length of the palette is just 15cm, it's quite small, can put it into my pouch, perfect to carry it around and for travel

There is also a mirror comes with this palette
It didn't come with a brush, i like to apply eyeshadows with my fingers so it isn't a big problem for me, but i prefered to have a brush with it la haha

Here is the swatches of the palette
note: apply shadow with eye primer
the shades of the palette is perfect for daily use, the pigmentation of  two lightest colors aren't that good, even with eye primer.

MY OPINION
it is a bit chalky and powdery  if i don't use it with eye primer, but after using eye primer, it can reduce the chalkiness and also the pigmentation is better, i strongly recommend to use it with eye primer.

The thing i like about this palette is it's natural and great for daily use, and it's good for those who likes "no makeup" makeup, if you want the color to be obvious, just add few more swatches is enough 

Conclusion

Pros:
Cheap
Travel Friendly
All matte
With mirror
Great for daily use

Cons:
Chalky
Pigmentation isn't that great and eye primer is needed
No brush

i will rate this palette as 7/10

First blog

Hi, here's Mandy

Just finish my last semester few days ago and i don't know what to do during this holiday, so i am thinking to create a new blog to share my experience and review for the cosmetics i currently own and i am here!

I started to apply makeup in year 1 of Uni life, before that i didn't know anything about makeup, i only know how to use cleanser, apply moisturizer and lotion HAHA,

What made me started to use makeup?
A good friend of mine gave me a mascara and a milky tint as birthday present, and i didn't want to waste it or give it to other so i tried to use it, honestly, the first time i applied mascara i had a big problem, i didn't know how to apply and it's so clumsy, it sticked everywhere xD and i had a problem to remove it also, so i asked my friend how should i do and also check google to see tutorial, okay i'm going to stop ranting about it

Now i know how to apply simple makeup, (applying mascara, draw eyebrow, draw eyeliner, contour, highlight) my makeup skill is not perfect, rather it's still uhh quite bad? but at least i have improved, i am proud of myself hehe

The main purpose of creating this blog is to review beauty products that i bought and maybe also sharing my life, i will try to update my blog every week!

not sure if anyone read this, but see you in my next post XOXO <3
