Artdeco Eyeshadow in 63 Pearly Baby Blue, 87, 211 Golden Beige, 249 Spring Green and 263 Venetian Blue

Artdeco is German brand famous for their customizable palettes of blush and eyeshadows. Each pan has magnet pad on the bottom, making it easy to stick on Artdeco metal palette... or any metal surface for that matter. Palette is nice to have, but not a must to have. 

This time my grubby hands grabbed a few eyeshadows... 63 Pearly Baby Blue, 87, 221 Golden Beige, 249 Spring Green and 263 Venetian Blue. Artdeco organizes their eyeshadows by finish, 63 is pearl while 221, 249 and 263 are duochrome.
63 Pearly Baby blue is lovely sparkly pearly baby blue, just as the name implies. 87 is pearly soft lilac. 211 Golden Beige is pearly warm beige - perfect for highlighting browbone! 249 Spring Green is pearly pastel green - reminds me of young leaf shoot. It has super subtle golden flash when you really observe it. 263 Venetian Blue is lovely deep teal with subtle rich green duochrome.

All of the colors I picked are shimmery and soft. pigmentation is good and it sparkles nicely. It only took me a single swipe to get colors visible on my lids. Blending is a breeze with these babies too!

Bottomline, 
I am going to definitely purchase more eyeshadows from Artdeco! I am just loving their color collection and texture!

Artdeco Blusher 32 Fuchsia Blush

Another one from Artdeco. This blush is meant to be kept inside Artdeco's costumizable palette. Each of the blush pan has magnetic bottom, as does Artdeco's eyeshadow range. I dont keep my Artdeco pans in the palette, as I find the palette too expensive - I'd rather spend my money on the blush or eyeshadow itself. 

Even though Artdeco says this blush is Fuchsia, I think this is more warm tea rose. It doesnt look cold fuchsia at all on my skin. 

I am loving the formula, so soft and well pigmented. Easy to apply and blend. 

Bottomline, 
This blush is lovey and easy to wear, formula is good too. Worth the price. I am looking forward to try more blush and shadows color from Artdeco!

Artdeco Liquid Star Liner Eyeliner in 18 and 32 Lilac

Artdeco is a German brand with rather affordable price point and good reputation. They are famous for their magnetic eye palette which you can fill with Artdeco eye shadow and blush pans. 

This time, I am going to try their Liquid Star Liner.Liquid Star Liner promises brilliant color, waterproof formula which resist smudging and fading. The formula is mineral oil free and fragrance free, making it safe for contact lenses wearer. Well... I dont know any eye liner which is not recommended for contacts users so far... but that's what they mentioned in the website. 

In the website they enlisted wearable color collections - from black, grey, brown to navy and deep teal. I got myself color 18 and 32. 18 is a wonderful blackened forest green with subtle shimmer. 32 Violet is royal purple-violet version of MUFE aqualiner amazing number 14. that lovely iridescent shimmer is just lovely.  Unfortunately i cant capture it with my camera. 

This liner is very similar to MAC's superslick and MUFE's aqua liner. The eyeliner has felt tip - which is firm enough to draw sleek cat's eye, yet soft enough to glide nicely on my lids. The formula felt pretty much the same - no smudging and fading on my oily lids even after a long day in the office. The color lifts off easily with gentle make up remover - no need heavy duty oil cleanser or baby oil drenched cotton buds here. But I am happy that the color didnt travel and the line I drawn stays in place. 

Bottomline, 
More economical than MUFE's aqualiner, more easily obtained than MAC's superslick. The basic colors will cover your daily need nicely. Purple, iridescent color lovers -check out color 32 Lilac... it is magical!
