Color Bar

i wanted a handy dandy palette that i could bring when traveling (i didn't exactly want to lug my CS palette around). i was looking for the ff. characteristics:

• one that contained both blush/es and eyeshadows (lip colors were optional)
• a good mix of eye colors
  
• small and compact (that one's pretty obvious)
• not expensive (of course! haha)

since i wasn't really looking for a high-end brand, i decided to take a look at Watsons. Ever Bilena had a couple of palettes, but the colors didn't really appeal to me. i felt they were either too dark, or they didn't offer much variety as the colors were all from the same family. i browsed through the other counters and i decided to purchase the Color Bar from Fashion 21. it's got 2 blushes and 12 eye shadows. and at P150, i'd say that's a steal ;)


i immediately tried it out when i got home. i did a day look with colors 4, 8, and 1, and a night look with 6, 9, and 12. i think it's great that this tiny palette is enough to carry u from day to night.


so i'm quite psyched with this find :D i really like the range of colors that it offers. from the pretty pastels to the shimmery ones. i can totally imagine me wearing a different look each day on out of town trips, haha! and that was basically the whole point of me wanting a travel palette :P


p.s i didn't use eye primer here (i didn't want to waste my UDPP haha). i just put concealer on my lids. and no foundation too haha i just wanted to test the blush
