Vov Eyeshadow Singles

Before writing this post I would like to tell everyone that I am not a brand ambassador of this brand but I really like Vov products. The quality is fairly good and for the price Vov offers some really nice things. So for a person like me with a limited budget this is quite a good bet. I have a huge eyeshadow palette by Vov and the quality is fairly ok, nothing too great. So when I saw the eyeshadow singles I wasn’t expecting much. To my surprise however the Vov eyeshadow singles like my Miss Claire eyeshadow singles are extremely good eyeshadows with amazing pigmentation and staying power. I got a beautiful forest green eyeshadow and a teal blue eyeshadow. They cost me around 110 bucks and it is available at local beauty stores. There are loads of colors available. The texture is a beautiful, smooth and satin soft. They apply on the lids like a dream and stay on for a long time approximately four hours on my lids even without a primer. There are no shimmers and the eyeshadow just has a beautiful shine to it.

Vov Eyeshadow 0751 is a beautiful olive green eyeshadow while 0453 is a pretty teal blue eyeshadow. Here are the swatches of the eyeshadows and a FOTD with 0751 on my lids.

Haul Alert: Mac, Maxfactor and Vov

I went berserk shopping last month. I was just shopping so much that even my hubby gave up trying to control me. I don’t think I spent even one weekend without hauling some makeup stuff besides other things of course. I know I am a little late but here are the pics of my haul. Enjoy and hope you all get a little jealous as well…heee…heee

Maxfactor

I got some Maxfactor goodies. I had never noticed the brand before but after some rave reviews from fellow bloggers I knew I just had to get some stuff from there. It’s a good brand with some affordable and very good stuff. I got two single eyeshadows Passionate Plum and Midnight black which is just gorgeous black with sparkly blue flecks. The lipfinity is very good too. It consists of a liquid lipstick and a lip balm. Apply the liquid lipstick and let it dry and then finish off by applying the lip balm. I have never used a long staying lip product as good as this.

Vov

I am crazy about Miss Claire single eyeshadows and Vov too has the same singles as well. I got a gorgeous forest green and teal blue shade. I also got this amazing lip color palette which cost me just about 190 bucks. It contains some gorgeous coral and red shades. As you can see I have been using it a lot last month.

Faces and some random stuff

I got the Faces Satin matte lipstick in mulberry. It’s a beautiful brown pink shade that is so creamy and amazing. I also got these pretty earrings for some 200 bucks from Sia and  the sunscreen from Vlcc which incidently has impressed me a lot. I haven’t taken any pics but I also got a lot of stuff from Lush which includes my favorite Sylvia Stout shampoo and some amazing soaps.

Mac

Finally my favorites. My Mac Creemsheen lippi Partyline and Hepcat eyeshadow…Isn’t that purple just gorgeous..I just can’t wait to get started.

Hope you liked my little haul. Tell me what you liked and would like me to review first. Ciao

Vov Eyeshadow Pallete 98 in 1

There are a lot of things which I just pick up on a whim. Well, being an impulsive buyer does that to you. If you are in Pune then you must have heard of a shop called Much More. Its actually not a branded store but the shoes, bags and other items are quite good and I shop a lot from them. When roaming around the shop, I spotted a huge eyeshadow palette. Now my lack of credit card means I cannot shop for those lovely palettes available abroad. So I just picked this up without swatching or even giving it a second glance.

Price: I am guessing it was for INR 550. I do not remember although I did see it on FashionandYou for around INR 750 recently.

Packaging: I am a sucker for cute or classy packaging and to tell you the truth I just loved the packaging so much that I picked this up. The white case with the small bubble clear tops is just adorable. The palette itself is huge with 98 eyeshadows and four “chotu” applicators and a small mirror. The colors in it are just mind blowing. From different shades of blues, greens, pinks and a whole lot of neutral colors, this eyeshadow palette has it all. It even has a blood red eyeshadow :P

Pigmentation and Texture: The texture is smooth and very soft. All the eyeshadows have golden shimmer which by the way is not very apparent when used on the lids. I use my groundwork paint pot as a base so the eyeshadows do stay on for a reasonable five to six hours which is pretty good considering what I paid for it.

The pigmentation varies. While some colors are just amazingly well pigmented others just do not show up and are very, very chalky. Here are some random swatches of the eyeshadows.

What Do I Not Like

• Well, some eyeshadows are a real pain to use
• It is not a problem actually but I just cannot use these huge pallets. I prefer small quads
• NO matte eyeshadows L
• Not easily available. I guess some local beauty shops might stock this. 

I cannot really advise you to get this palette but if you are just starting off and want to play with a lot of colors without emptying your bank account then this is a good bet.
