i originally bought the neutrals palette, which they call the Modern palette, along with the single eyeshadows, and i was able to get the i-pro palette for free. when i went home, i cannot get over how pigmented and nice the shadows are that i just have to have the rest of the palette. when i went back, two days later, i was supposed to get the Contemporary and Impressionist palettes, but the SA showed me the Classic palette which is the matte palette and i just had to have the matte ones! so i bought the Classic and Impressionist palettes, along with 3 blushes. again i was able to take home 2 of the ipro freebie palettes. then finally, i went back to get the Contemporary Palette so i could have all 4 palettes.
the freebies
technically, they arent free cuz you have to pay 1 peso for each once you've reached a minimum single receipt purchase.
to get the i-pro palette (which looks like the Nars' Bridal Palette, but more on that on future posts) you have to get a minimum of 1,500PhP single receipt purchase. i was able to get 3. imma give away one or two, so stay tuned for the details! :D
also, for a minimum of 300 peso purchase each, i was able to get:
1. 2 pcs freebie foundation
2. Glitz Mirror
L-R no. 03, no. 13, no. 09, no. 06
no. 3 is a beautiful silver white, my favorite of the bunch, no. 13 is a deep copper brown, no. 09 is a pretty old rose color, which would be spectacular as a highlighter/blush as well, and no. 06 is a beautiful yellow-gold color.
i already posted swatches cuz i've no intention of posting separate reviews/swatches for each.
i love:
-highly pigmented
-lotsa colors available
- does not crease
- long lasting
i hate:
- cheap packaging
- breaks easily (as you can see, i just salvaged my no. 03 shadow)
L-R Chic blush in no. 10, Wave blush in no. 05 and chic blush in no. 01
i realized i don't have enough blushes, so i bought some fantastic yet affordable ones.
