I can show you the world... Shining, shimmering, splendid... Who sang it? Haha! Yes, one of my favorite local beauty brands Skin Potions, and my beloved Disney character, Jasmine are all together in one makeup collection! 2 things that I love collaborating together, ooh Wow! Last May, Skin Potions Disney ALADDIN Exclusive Collection was released at the same time of the live action Aladdin movie was shown. I feel so lucky to have this because this is limited edition!
Before I begin by review ing the makeups, let me start with the huge, stunning packaging! This while collection (yes, with this box) is being sold for only Php3,499. It consists of 2 matte liquid lipsticks, 1 Highlight & Contour stick, 1 black liquid Eyeliner, and 3 shades of brow pencil & gel. Kudos for the effort of naming each products with these witty Aladdin-inspired names! I appreciate that each product is encased in a paper box packaging to prevent the casing from being damaged. Design 5/5 It is obvious that it was well-conceptualized, the Illustration, Fonts, and the colors used represent the Arabian Culture and the color scheme of Jasmine's clothing. Box Packaging 4.75/5 The big box is sturdy and beautiful lay Illustrated, and it is indeed, reusable, which is a plus for me. I am a sucker for pretty packaging with utility purposes! For the makeup collection itself, practicality-wise, i think that the box is a bit too big for there are a lot of space that are not necessary. But since I can use this box again for different purpose, I can let it slide. Makeup Packaging 5/5 I love that everything in here are encased in sturdy acrylic packaging. The eyebrow liners & gel pens are dual-purpose and retractable so no need to sharpen, it is travel-friendly too because it is almost weightless. The matte liquid lipsticks are nice, yes. I wish the packaging is clear though so you can see the colors and the amount of product left inside easily. The Highlight & Contour stick are travel-friendly too for they are weight less and muli-purpose (it can be used as an eyeshadow base as well!) The Eyeliner is perfect indeed, will tell you why in a bit! Skin Potions Disney Aladdin Brow of Wonders Retractable eyebrow pencils! Ugh, they are godsend! You know how much I hate sharpening Eyeliner and eyebrow pencils for I feel like I am wasting products? Yeah, good thing I don't have that problem with these! Skin Potions Disney Aladdin Brow of Wonder come in 3 shades: light (for blonde-light brown hair),medium for (Medium brown hair and redheads), and dark (for dark brown to black hair). Product-wise, the pencils and the gel are highly pigmented. They should be used with a very light hand and must be used with a spoolie to even out the Distribution of the product on your brows. Without a spoolie, it may look to dark and uneven. Since I have black to dark brown hair, I chose the shade DARK. It perfectly matches my natural hair and brow color so it is faster to use, not too much fixing needed. It is a good thing that in this collection, there are 3 brow shades to choose from for they can all be used to achieve a more natural looking brows. I saw in Pia Wurtzbach's makeup Tutorials that she uses 3 different shades of eyebrow pencils to color her brows, light from the inside, medium at the middle, then dark at the arch and edge. Skin Potions Disney Aladdin Two Wishes 2-in-1 Highlighter and Contour Stick For busy moms like me, products like this are heaven-sent. To Contour my cheeks and jawline, i no longer have to carry with me a Contour ing powder and brush in the bag for I can just draw this pen on my face and blend them using my Fingers. It is lightweight too so I can bring it in my bag every where I go. Product-wise, it is Creamy, like a lipstick, and easily blendable. The Contour shade may be a bit too warm for my skin tone (I have neutral skin tone, yep) but I can work with this just fine. Those who have warm skin tone will greatly benefit from this but if you have a cool under tone, you will need to blend this shade well and top it with a matte neutral brown Contouring powder to make the "shadow-effect" looking real and natural. Since this is in stick/creamy form, it can be used as a base so that Contouring and highlighter powders will stick better and last longer. Skin Potions Disney Aladdin A Whole New Matte Liquid Lipstick Collection With its opaque, turquoise packaging, I thought these lipsticks will come in a cream bullet-type so imagine my surprise when I found out that I need to twist it first because it is actually a liquid lipstick which are usually encased in a transparent Container so you can see the product inside. But anywayyyyyy, I like that it comes with a soft and study apllicator that can evenly distributer the color on my lips evenly. The lipstick collection comes in three shades: Curious (a medium mau e with pi kish and brown tints), Fierce (fuchsia that has cool pink-red under tones), and Spirited, a light mau e that closely resembles my lips, but better. At first, it looks like the textüre is similar ti a lip tint, for it feels so light and smooth, after a minute, it turns into a pretty semi-matte finish. The formulation doesn't dry the lips and turn powder, no. Instead, it feels smooth, light, hydrating on the lips. Once it dries, it doesn't bleed nor easily smudge unless you eat greasy meals. It is long-lasing, stays on the lips for 2-3 hours without drinking and eating. Retouching is ok nonetheless, I only need one layer for a sheer finish and 2 Layers of application for even and fully opaque finish. Out of all the three shades, I like Fierce the best for it brightens my complexion with or without the use of other makeup products. Three shades look flattering to me though, the other two shades can be worn everyday and are versatile. The color choices are both universally flattering to morenas, chinitas, and mestizas! 💗 Skin Potions Disney Aladdin Jasmine Eyes Sleek Liquid Eyeliner Cat eyes! Oh yes, for chinitas with hooded eyelids like mine, WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINERS ARE A MUST! It is non-negotiable, our eyes pop even better with Eyeliner! The right application can make our eyes look bigger and more defined. Jasmine Eyes Liquid Eyeliner do just that. With its fancy tip, it is easier to do the winged Eyeliner effect. What I like more is that aside from being jet black (which doesn't oxidize into brown or green unlike other drugstore liquid eye liners), once this product Sets and dries, it doesn't easily smudge. It is long-lasing and yet it isn't a pain to remove it. How I wish they also have this in brown for morning use! Review: Packaging: 4.85/5 Design and Illustration: 5/5 Quality: 4.85/5 Eyeliner: 10/5 I REALLY LOVE THIS!!! It deserves a Highlight! Haha! Price: 4/5 For the price of Php3,499 it is like paying only Php438 for each of the products (there are 8!) and you get to bring home a limited edition Disney Aladdin box! The price is not super cheap I know but they are affordable. They have eyebrow gel & pencil, Contour & Highlight stick, 3 liquid lipsticks (which can be used as a cheek tint too if used sparingly), and an Eyeliner, they already got most of the basics covered! All in all, I am happy with the products and it is a must have for all Disney Aladdin Fans who are Makeup lovers too! Check them out at www.instagram.com/skinpotions to see their latest posts!
