Greetings dear readers!
I hope you had a lovely time celebrating Independence
Day! Well, on this Eid, I received a gift from one of my lovely aunts and the
present included an eye shadow palette and a makeup kit by Claire’s Cosmetics,
which I’m going to review today. I was super excited to try something from
Claire’s as this brand was recently launched in Karachi, Pakistan and my fellow
bloggers praised the brand for its good quality and affordable products.
However, I live in Lahore so going to Karachi to buy Claire’s products was
almost impossible for me and thanks to my aunt who gifted me this makeup kit.
Now head down to read the rest of my review!
Price:
I am not familiar with the price and I can’t find it
anywhere on the Internet.
Packaging:
This makeup kit is entirely made of plastic of black
color and the lid is transparent. The packaging feels and looks cheap and I
wouldn’t recommend it for travelling as the lid does not shut very tightly.
Kit
Information:
This makeup kit contains 13 eye shadows, 3 blushes, 3
lip glosses, 1 deluxe size blush brush, 1 deluxe size black kohl pencil, 1
deluxe size eye shadow applicator and a small mirror. Claire’s Cosmetics is a
brand from USA and it does not test on animals. All the ingredients and other
information are mentioned on the back of the kit. This makeup kit contains
carmine.
Pigmentation:
The eye shadows are very poorly pigmented. The shades
need a lot of layering up to show on my eye lids and when they become visible,
all the colors look almost alike and somewhat give a whitish cast on my lids.
However, the blushes are gorgeously pigmented and only a little amount is
needed for application. But the lip glosses are poor in pigmentation and only
give a tinge of color which is not enough for me.
Texture:
The shades are very powdery and produce excessive
fall out which makes the pan messy. The shades feel dry to the touch and lacks
creaminess which helps in spreading and blending an eye shadow nicely on the
eye lids. However, the blushes feel soft to the touch and look good on cheeks.
Scent:
They have a weird plastic(y) smell which mostly emits
from art crayons.
Longevity:
The eye shades last on the lids for 2 to 3 hours
approximately and the same goes for the blushes. The lip glosses remain only
for 1 hour without eating/drinking.
My
Thoughts:
I have certainly not become impressed with this
makeup kit. The kohl pencil is nice for everyday wear but it is definitely not
the most blackest black and the brush quality is very poor but I’m not
disappointed by it as mostly products contains bad quality brushes. I used the
eye shadow sponge tip applicator a lot and it got torn so I didn’t include it
in the pictures and the lip glosses have been used a lot of times by me when I
was in a hurry that is why you can see empty holes in them. The only thing I
liked about this kit is the blushes and the small mirror. I detested the eye
shadows because they are very low quality and the lip glosses are way too light
and sticky and my exact thoughts go for the pencil and brushes as well. I loved
the shade range of this palette but was disappointed when the colors didn’t
appear as pretty on the lids as it does in the pan and in my swatches. I am
dissatisfied by Claire’s Cosmetics makeup kit and I would give it a rating of
1.5/5.
Recommendation:
To no one
Would
I Repurchase?
Never
Swatches: Eyeshadows, Blushes and Lipglosses with the Kohl Pencil.
I
hope you liked this post! Have you ever tried any product from Claire’s? What
