Magic Eyes Instant Eyeshadow review! (Sponsored by KKCenterhk) by gyarurin

A while ago, Maggie from KKCenterhk got in touch and asked if she could send me some products to review! I chose these two:

Lingmei Shiny Two Head Dual Use Eyeliner in #6 (white)

~review coming soon!~

Magic Eyes Instant Eyeshadow Sticker in No.09

Shipped: between Aug 23rd and Aug 30th

Arrived: between Sept 1st and Sept 8th (while I was on holiday- sorry I can't be more precise!)

So it only took about 1-2 weeks to arrive! Considering it came from the other side of the world that's pretty impressive. ^^

I've put off writing the review until now because since it was actually my first time using one of these instant press-on eyeshadows, I filmed the process! I've edited the video fully but the program I use (PowerDirector 9) is having trouble processing it, especially as it's a pretty long video, and I wanted to have it sorted before posting. Tomorrow hopefully I will transfer all of the files over to my BF's more powerful computer and see if his can produce a decent video! :)

Also, as it was my first time using the products, I wanted to try out the Lingmei Shiny Dual Use Eyeliner a few more times to get a more thorough understanding of the product~. ^^

Since I was filming the whole thing, I didn't take pictures of the press-on eyeshadow as I was applying it. u.u However here are a few screencaps from the video~:

Unblended application on the first eye!

Here is what the product looks like after application- most of the powder has successfully transferred!

These are the usage instructions on the product page. At first, I thought 'Fade' meant simply twisting the applicator off or something, but looking closely, it seems as if they have turned the applicator upside down and used the other side to blend?  Typical of me to spend ages poring over the image trying to work it out, then it suddenly occurring to me after I've done it..! XD

Blended~ As you can see, a lot of the product fades away/brushes off so it doesn't look too extreme (even though I purposefully went for a dramatic design). ^^

  

This is what it looks like with my eye fully open- you can't see a lot of my lids, so the orange part is almost completely hidden. It's a little surprise for when I close my eyes or lower my gaze! ^.~

Blended product on the right (my left eye) and unblended on the left. When I applied the second one, I got it all over my lashes. u_u orz

Blended product on both eyes~. Final effect is shimmery, cute and subtle, even for the boldest or second boldest design! I wonder if the result would have looked more dramatic if I'd tried using the product applicator to do the blending...

Magic Eyes Press-on Instant Eyeshadow- the verdict?

These press-on eyeshadows aren't that cheap- you get one for $6; you could probably buy the colours and do your own (and have a lot of other things you can do with them!) for little more cost. I'm not really certain that using them saves a lot of time, either, unless you've had a lot of practice with applying them. However, I actually really had fun using them, so maybe it could become like a... hobby? XD I'm definitely seriously considering trying them out again out of my own pocket..! ✰

I'm also actually a little sad that I ended up almost completely covering the green with the shiny liner, so if I used these again I would make sure to apply them higher then blend down- this would also prevent them from going all over my lashes!

Stay tuned to see the final look and read my review for the Lingmei Shiny Eyeliner!
