sephora pret-a-porter palette

this was a pallette i purchased long time agooo.. when i was still pregnant with my son. i searched a lot at that time before deciding to give it a go. probably it was my pregnancy hormonal that drawn me into beauty back then, and i was soooo... obsessed with this palette. it had 4 eyeshadows in each palette, 2 lip glosses, and one blush. it was perfect. total 6 mini palettes. not too much eyeshadows (since i didn't wear eyeshadow much), and enough glosses and blushes. but unfortunately, it didn't have brushes with them, so though it was a compact palette for travelling, i still had to bring separate blushes. not practical.

okay, the pret-a-porter, like i said before, consisted with 6 mini palettes. each of them was marked with a colored string. there were purple, green, pink, brown, black, and blue. pink was for everyday color, and black was for smokey eye. the other were colour coordinated according to the string color. it was interesting and tempting to be match-matchy with your clothes! and i was color freaked! that's why i was soooo ..obsessed with this palette. you could arrange them into mini drawer, with one spare compact to put the palette for traveling at the back. it had mirror in it. each palette consisted of 6 eyeshadows, 2 lipgloss and a blush.

here's a closer look for each palette. on my arm swatch (from left to right): the blush, two eyeshadows from the top row (left to right), two eyeshadows from second row(left to right), and the glosses from left to right. unfortunately, sephora didn't give names to each color, so i had to describe it in words..

purples: the blush was a soft matte pink, it was barely shown on my skin, but i guessed it was build able.. the eyeshadows consisted with dark and lighter color. the top row was a dark purple (almost black on my skin, but on my eyes it was dark purple), and a medium purple. the second row was a medium purple with glitter on it. the glitter was chunky and coarse, it was a mess.. it went everywhere! and the right bottom corner was the lightest purple. the gloss on the left was a berry fuchsia shade, while the right was a pearly soft pink. the berry fuchsia shown perfectly on my lips, but the pearly soft pink looked frosty and too pale for me.

greens: the blush was a coral with soft gold glitters in it. it was a very, very soft glitter and blended easily. the eyeshadows were a dark moldy green with chunk glitter in it, a bright leafy green, a frosty light green (i had to swipe over and over to get it shown, but it still didn't show up well on my arm), and a golden brown one. the glosses were a bright red and a pinkish red. the red one was pretty bright on my lips!

pink : though this was intended to be the everyday color, i reached browns more than this one though. the blush was a bright pink almost like a barbie pink blush. one swipe was enough. the eyeshadows were a taupe, dark brown, frosty beige and frosty pearl white. the gloss was a pink and a pink beige. the pink was a cool toned pink, almost like a barbie pink but softer, while the pink beige looked natural on my lips but paler than one from the brown palette.

browns: if you took a closer look, you would see that i reached this one quite often. most of the shadows were powdery, sometimes it made the gloss messy.. like this one.. the swatches still like the previous one, but from the bottom to top. the blush was another coral blush but the glitter in it was chunkier. i guessed you could see it from the close-up swatch. the eyeshadows were matte dark brown, bright medium brown with glitter in it, a soft frosty lighter brown and a frosty brown beige (i didn't know how to call it..). the glosses were natural, a brighter pink and a softer one, both were like MLBB.

blues: a matte orange blush. again, only one swipe was enough. the eyeshadows were a dark blue, a bright blue, a glittery turquoise, and a pearly white. the glosses were weird though. the first one was a brown gloss, and the second was a nude gloss, but it was lighter than the left one from the smokey eye palette.

black : another pink barbie blush, but this one was brighter than the blush from everyday palette. the eyeshadows were matte black, black with chunky glitter, grey and pearly light grey. the glosses both were nude, but the right was more apricotty.
