120 Palette: Final Review

Hi everyone,
in the past couple of months I showed you swatches of all of the 10 rows of the 120 Palette. Now I want to share some final thoughts!

Here are all of the swatches:
1st row: lighter Blues *click*
2nd row: darker blues *click*
3rd row: lighter greens *click*
4th row: darker greens *click*
5th row: yellows *click*
6th row: oranges *click*
7th row: grays and blacks *click*
8th row: dark greens and blues *click*
9th row: violets *click*
10th row: violets and pinks *click*
11th row: pinks and reds *click*
12th row: nudes and browns *click*
As you can tell from the swatches, all colors are nicely pigmented. There are a few bad ones, of course, but there are more good ones. Mattes tend to be a bit patchy, but shimmers are always greatly pigmented. And there are also a ton of different finishes available.
They tend to be a bit chalky, and that can cause quite a bit of fall-out. And some colors blend away.
The size of the individual eyeshadows does look quite small, but they will last forever, trust me.
The eyeshadows all last a long time with an eyeshadow base, without creasing. I don't know how the wear will be without a base, though.
The whole palette is clearly very colorful, and there are only a few neutral shades.
Now, if you want to get this one, keep all of the mentioned things in mind. I got it for 28 Euros from eBay. That is a great deal for all of these colors, and also the quality is great for that. But that is only nice if you wear a lot of colors. If you prefer neutrals, this might not be the right choice.
Does anyone of you also own this palette?
Talk to you soon!
xoxo, Misch

EOTD October 19th: Cranberry Look

Hi guys!
Today I want to show you an EOTD. When I showed you the latest 120 Palette Swatching episode here *click*, my dear friend Salander asked me to do a look with the cranberry color. So here it is!

I tried to step out of my comfort zone a bit, and this this cranberry brown red look. It's blended a lot, and in the inner corner I used a copper gold glitter. In the pictures you unfortunately can't tell it that well that I used more colors, but that's okay.

On the lid I used Catrice - My First Copperware Party, and then the cranberry from the 120 Palette over that, and in the crease, as well as on the outer part of the lower lash line. The golden copper color is Catrice - Spiced Bronze. For the brown eyeliner I used Essence's BBC All Night Brown gel eyeliner, and on the water line p2's perfect look kajal in brown. My mascara is Catrice Evolution To Revolution Volume Mascara.

Hope you like this look, Salander :) And all of you others, too, of course ;)

Until next time!
xoxo, Misch

See you all soon!

EOTD October 9th: Copper and Plum Fall

Hi there!
Today I'm back with an EOTD! It's fall, you guys I know I love that, and I wanted to use fall colors. I first wanted to do a Indian Summer inspired look, but then I came up with plum and copper, and I love this look!

All I did was this: I used a shimmery copper on my lid, a matte plum in my crease, and on the lower lash line similar colors :)

What I used? The copper on the lid is Essence Ballerina Backstage LE Eye Soufflé in Pas de Copper; the matte plum is from the 120 palette; the copper on the lower lash line is Catrice Caramé LE in Spiced Bronze; the purple on the lower lash line is Essence's Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Touch Of Glam; the black on the lower and upper lash line is Essence I Love Glam Powder Eyeliner and Eyeshadow; the mascara is Maybelline Great Lash Mascara.

In real life this purple is looking more plummy, but that didn't show in the pictures...:P
Do you like this look? I do a lot, it's so pretty and still simple!
I'll see you soon!
xoxo, Misch

120 Palette Swatching Series: Lower Half, 5th Row

Hi there!
It's time for a new swatching episode of my 120 palette! Today I want to show you pink and red shades, and they're all in the 5th row of the lower half of the palette :) Let's get into the colors!

1 Here we have a pinkish purple with chunky shimmer.

2 This more lilac color has a slight shimmer.

3 Here we have a darker purple with a slight shimmer.

4 This cool-toned pink has a chunky shimmer.

5 Here we have a matte fuchsia/ magenta pink.

6 This is a frosty medium pink.

7 Here we have a juicy bright pink with shimmer.

8 This red is matte and vibrant, but a bit poor in pigmentation.

9 This is a shimmery red leaning pink.

10 And this last one looks a lot like number 8, but it's more pigmented.

Swatches:

in the shade

in the sun

And no, the last 2 pictures aren't washed out, the colors are really not that pigmented.
I find that these types of colors are really difficult to wear, especially red. That's in my opinion just something for a really daring look! Or do you maybe have any ideas to wear these crazy colors?
I'll see y'all soon :)

Here you go! Do you like this type of color? I do, but it's not my favorite to wear, pink is a little too much for me on the eyes ;) But you guys know, I rather wear neutrals.
Talk to you soon!
