Palladio Beauty

This review is for Palladio 4D Boost Mascara. This mascara goes on well, feels good and doesn’t irritate my eyes like other mascaras tend to do. However, the mascara doesn’t have staying power and my eyes look like a raccoon after a few hours. Disappointed and will not repurchase.

Honestly, my used, most loved brush. The bristles are really tightly packed and dense, so it's good at picking up product. The bristles are the right length, not so long that they it's hard to control placement, and not so short that it just packs color on in one spot requiring multiple passes. I've had mine at least 4-5 years maybe long. It's been washed countless times and is still good and hasn't shed much.

So, I was in CVS and browsing around when I saw these E.L.F. blotting sheets with translucent powder. I've never seen this kind of product and thought it was a new thing until i read reviews. LOL. I never buy blotting sheets because I don't have a problem with oily skin but had an idea of hi Ute these could work great for me...and i was right! CVS prices are so inflated...even on the normally cheap e.l.f. products, so I checked out Amazon to see if they were carrying them. Instead of e l.f. I luckily came across this brand! At $3 a pack, I was a very happy camper. This line even let's you choose shades for your skin tone(though I've always been a translucent girl) . So I bought a oak to compare the 2. Since I do but have oily skin, I use these f your my midday makeup touch ups. I apply the powder anywhere where it looks like base makeup is sweating off our just looks like I've been wearing a while and instant makeup refresher! My face looks revived and freshly applied when done touching up the rest of my face..blush, lipstick etc. I don't know what it is about the rice powder but it makes my skin/makeup look much smoother and more natural.. The process of applying by pressing the paper into your skin, assists the product with melting into skin instead of just sitting on top of everything looking cakey/powdery. The sheets are big enough to do my whole face plus a little extra if i want to add more to certain areas. I only have to do this one a day so 1 pack will go far for me but won't stop me from stocking up! I absolutely LOVE this beauty find that simplifies my afternoon and saves me time

I picked this up in the shade Zodiac, which is a typical metallic silver. It was on clearance at Sally Beauty Supply for $1.99. On the Palladio website they're $6.50/each. I wanted a silver eyeshadow & am glad that I got a good deal on this one. However, I wouldn't repurchase this if I ever used it up. It applies beautifully, but is quite sheer and needs to be built up. Wear time is okay but could probably be extended with the use of an eyeshadow primer... I don't use one and most of the color has worn off by the end of the day. I'm sure I can find a silver eyeshadow single that performs better than this one for around the $7 price-point.

Writing this review with my mature friends in mind. I recently purchased Palladio baked blush in the color Blushin. It has a touch of gold shimmer in it. Normally I avoid anything shimmer like the plague. This blush is so pretty, even with the shimmer. I think it actually takes a few years off of my skin in the cheekbone/cheek area where wrinkles can really show up. I also love the glow that it gives.

Hoping this helps.
