Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow ~ Moonlit Jewels Review

Hello All!

Revlon has always carved its niche in quality makeup products and their products rarely disappoint you. There is always something for someone. When I thought of buying my first eye shadow, it had to Revlon and nothing else, this was for sure and I was glad afterwards that I made this choice.

Price & Quantity:

Rs. 540 for 3.4gm (I bought it for Rs. 465/- six months back)

Shelf Life:

3 years

 

Shade:

Moonlit Jewels

 

My Experience:

I bought the palette “Moonlit Jewels”. Read on to find out how it fared.

Packaging: The palette has four eye shadow colors, round in shape and separately stacked in a row. The shadow case is made up of sturdy plastic and I can really vouch for that as I have dropped it a couple of times but it still is intact. The lid is flip open types and transparent. The packaging is very travel friendly.

Color, Texture & Pigmentation: The four colors are very pretty and versatile and will suit most Indian skin tones. The palette has got a cobalt blue, forest green, wooden brown and a peach-ish brown shade. The lightest color work great as a brow highlighter.

How it works?: These are creamy eye shadows with awesome pigmentation and blend-ability. The colors provide a glam shimmery look. The palette does not come with an applicator or brush and you have to buy one separately or else can be easily applied with finger tips too. The product is fragrance free.
