i'm in a phase where i like one shade eye shadow, especially when i'm travelling. i don't bother bringing eye brushes with me, especially since i'm travelling with 3 kids. i have to do my makeup quickly. i used to have stick eyeshadows but they were all expired, and the stick eyeshadows available here are the laura mercier one which are pricey. i rarely used up an eyeshadow stick, so no thank you. then i stumbled across allglows and their lid pigment interest me. so i bought two, one matte and one shimmer. actually i was torn between haze or woodrose, but i was afraid that woodrose would appear too mauvey and might not cater all my outfit, so i pick haze instead.
this is the description from their official tokopedia page: allglows lid pigment is a creamy matte liquid eyeshadow that provides intense color that can be beautifully blended by fingers. it contains mineral powder to absorb excess oil on lids to provide all day long staying power and waterproof.
haze is pale mauve brown.

| description on the box |
the packaging: somehow, the matte ones still in their old packaging, but i'm not complaining. the old packaging comes in a transparent plastic box with description at the back and the shade name on top of the box. the liquid eyeshadow comes in a transparent acrylic tube with black plastic cap. it has bath box name printed on one side, and then allglows lid pigment on the other side. shade name label at the bottom. if you didn't know, allglows is the sister brand or bathbox and bloomka. that's why it has bathbox name printed on the body. the wand is similar to lipgloss wand only shorter but the doe foot is flatter and very bendable. it comes in 2 g, which is less than the newer one. i don't know whether it's the net weight or with the packaging as well. let's hope i can finish this one as well since it's not that much.

| the lid pigment |
the color: for the matte finish, there are 5 shades to choose from, sand, woodrose, haze, slit, canyon. mins is haze which is mauve brown. you can see the hint of mauve but not as mauvey as the woodrose.

the product: this is a liquid eyeshadow so it's exactly what it is. it's runny enough to spread around, but not too runny that it's dripping from the wand. this is very pigmented so one tiny dot is enough for my whole lid. i can use brush or finger to spread it around.

the result: once it's set, it turns powdery and doesn't budge. it's waterproof as well, so rest assure that your makeup won't budge. the colors turn out okay for daily for me so i'm glad i pick this one. though if i can be picky, i actually eyed the sand more as daily color, but haze works okay for me for now. i don't know how long this one lasts, but i used this during my son's graduation photoshoot and it was quite hot, but the eyeshadow stays put.

| waterproof testing: once it's set, it won't budge but if you didn't let it dry (like the one on the left), it will smudge |

| how it looks like on my lid |
totally like this one. will bring this with me while travelling since i'm lazy to pack eyeshadow brush. plus it's quicker to just use one shade for my whole lid. let's hope this time i can finish it since i don't want to waste product before its expiry date. price wise, it's affordable. i just wish they expand the color selection. some is out of stock, but probably they will restock it in new packaging, but who knows? if you can get it, get it while it's still available.
