yeah the wash of glitter looks good with a strong color lip which is in this season, so the old highlighters are definitely gonna get used up this year.
I like the duos (I have 2) in isolation. They are lovely. But they are so finely milled you have to use angles and lighting to get that effect in promos. I will use the 2 I have but I will not buy more.
i appreciate your insight Edit: wow, that last patrick Ta swatch at the end opened my eyes lol. so underwhelming, and at that price? even worse! i've seen better from the drugstore!
I watched people swatching those and they looked underwhelming. If you want eyeshadows that will make you sparkle from miles away, check indie brands, especially if you live in the US. I saw raving reviews from Clionadh and Terra Moons (I haven't tested them yet because I live in Europe). The most expensive ones are about 20 dollars each, but you can always get great deals on their anniversary sales (and maybe black Friday). I could also mention Adept (but they only do palettes) who's been known for years for their shimmer formula (not surprising to see them throw shade at Patrick Ta 😅) For Europeans, Glamshop is the best quality-price ratio you will find. It's even more interesting during sales (I got multichomes for less than 9-10 dollars and sparkly eyeshadows (turbo pigments formula) for maybe 4-5 dollars. Lethal is also great but I can't think of a shade that can be an alternative.
@the.makeup.analyst I think it's my responsibility to warn you about the 15-dollar shipping (flat rate) in case you want to order something 😅 Let me know if you have certain preferences in terms of tones/formulas so I can help you navigate their catalog 😉
How funny!! You’ve basically just said more or less the same kind of things that I’ve been saying lol!! All the average consumer really needs to take into consideration are: do I like how it looks and performs on me? How much does it cost? And am I happy with the overall thing? Where it’s constructed, how it’s been created are kind of irrelevant, unless children or anyone for that matter, being harmed in the manufacturing of the product…if that’s a yes then I’m not interested and have less than zero interest in supporting any of that!! Sometimes these beauty ‘gurus’ are prone to spout untimely meaningless nonsense purely to make themselves sound more ‘informed’ and thus more ‘important’ than the average purchaser/ wearer of whatever the product is, and none of which is of the slightest value for said purchaser!! It’s not like you’re buying apparel for traversing the van allen belt!! 🙄 In this case it’s a highlighter, not a new kidney!! Thank you so much for some much needed and appreciated clarity around this ridiculous issue!! 🌟
Actually, glitters are not safe. There are many people who experienced some harm when glitter fell into their eyes. Glitter is a rough plastic particle, which can do physical damage to the eyes. That's why some people (me included) are against glitters. Not everything they tell you is safe is really safe.
Thanks for bringing this up, you are right Colourpop is still using PET glitter and it is not safe to use around the eyes. That being said there are people who will still use it at their own risk but yes, a disclaimer is in order.
😂😂😂😂 I cannot! I completely agree with the manufacturing location issue.
FINALLY IM NOT ALONE!!!!!! IF I HEAR I WONT BUY PMG LABS WITHOUT BAKED DE GELEE ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!!

Thank you for the info! I am yet to try Glamshop. But the rest have great special shades which I prefer over mainstream brands anyway
