KKCenterHK review – Love Alpha Eyeshadow Pigments

26th January, 2013 - Posted by Emily - Comments (9)

So I’m back today with another blogpost, this time I’m reviewing products from online store KKCenterHK. They have an amazing range of nail decals but I’m personally a HUGE fan of their make-up! I was incredibly impressed with their single eyeshadows from the brand Cuicu and today I’m reviewing loose eyeshadow pigments from the brand Love Alpha.

Love Alpha is a brand that’s completely new to me, but I instantly fell in love with the packaging when I saw it on the site. There’s 18 different shades in total, I picked three shades that caught my attention.

From left to right: Light baby blue No. 09, Dark Navy Blue No. 08, Gold No. 13.

Check out this pigmentation! WOW! I swatched these on my hand, without eyeshadow base. I was completely blown away when I first swatched these. They are incredibly opaque and easy to use. A little product goes a long way!

Here’s an eyeshadow look I created using just the three Love Alpha pigments. I used the gold on the inner corner, the light blue on the lid and the navy blue in the crease. Capturing eyeshadow looks is so tricky! It’s really hard to translate to pictures, I thought this looked much nicer in person but I hope the picture still shows how beautiful these pigments are.

You can find Love Alpha eyeshadow pigments on the KKCenterHK website, not only are they amazing quality but they’re only $3.94 a piece. They hold 8 grams of product so you are getting a great deal! If you order with KKCenterHK, make sure to save some money by using my 5% discount code: “VERYEMILY”.

Do you like using loose eyeshadow pigments? Or do you prefer regular eyeshadows? Let me know in the comments!

 Product in Action

For this eye look I used the white (inner corner), the aqua/gold (lid and lower lash line), the black (outer V) and the silver (crease).

Review

I was pleasantly surprised by the pigmentation of these eyeshadows. They are all either shimmery or metallic, so matte-lovers beware! But, for those of you who love shine and sparkle, well then this should be a product to consider. Most of the colors are very pigmented and go on as pigmented as they swatch. The two greens and the blue are particularly gorgeous!

Two things that I did not like about this product are the texture and the smell. The shadows have a talc smell that I really do not like. Obviously, you won't smell them when you apply it on your eyes, but just opening the palette is awful because I can smell it! The texture of these is both good and bad. They feel very buttery rather than powdery which is good since it makes them more pigmented. But, this texture also makes it difficult to blend the eyeshadows, so you will have to work a little harder to blend these really good.

The blushes are...meh. They are okay, but somewhat powdery. They are nothing too special in my opinion.

Overall, I really like the colors and the pigmentation of the colors. Would I purchase this with my own money? Well the price is not bad at all, and it is actually quite a bargain for the colors. Be wary of the smell and the possibility that you might have trouble blending the eyeshadows. 

Rating: 7.5/10

Frozen eye jelly color + manicure by theagnes87

Hej Kochani,
Czy u was tż jst taka spiekota?
Normalnie nie da się wytrzymać.
Dziś chciałam wam przedstawić fajny gadżet do makijażu jakim jest żelowo-galaretkowy (tak bym go nazwała) cień do powiek, ktory jest idealny na letnie, wieczorne imprezy.
Tak on się prezentuje Love Alpha eye color frozen z KKcenterhk:

Ja mam w kolorze zimnym różowym. Pudełeczko jest bardzo eleganckie. Inne kolorki możecie znleść TU.
Cień jest typowo brokatowy, ale brokat, czy jak kto woli glitter nie osypuje się i nie spada nam na dolną powiekę, a to za sprawą konsystencji, która ma formę galaretki, dzięki czemu cień ardzo dobrze trzyma się na powiece.

 Jest to typowo cień na imprezy letnie, bądź też na karnawałowo-sylwestrowe. Mi kolor bardzo przypadł do gustu.

Przepraszam za niezbyt wyrażne zdjęcia ale u mnie ciężko było ze światłem. Jak widać cień bardzo ładnie się mieni i daje ładny efekt jakby mokrych powiek.

Kolejny temat to mój ulubiony frech na letnie dni.
Czyli żarówiasta czerwień - róż i dużo brokatu:

A i jszcze jedno, niedługo ogłoszę ROZDANIE, dlatego zachęcam do czytania :)
POZDRAWIAM

Thank you, theagnes87

China Glaze Electric Beat with KKCenterHK water decals by susyincolor

Hello!
Today I have some water decals I received from KKCenterHK to show you, they are an online store with makeup, nails and hair products. They have a ton of different water decals including some full nail designs, I picked this heart design to try: WDBLE078. And here is what the sheet of decals looks like.

To apply these, I cut out a decal and dipped it in water for a few seconds. After that, it easily slides off the backing paper and I positioned it where I want on my nails. I finished with a layer of top coat.

I applied these on top of China Glaze Electric Beat. These lie flat on the nails and I really like that, sometimes stickers curl up a bit and don’s stay flat so I end up picking them off, but these are completely flat.



These were fun and easy to use, it was my first time trying water decals but I had no problems with the application. Like I mentioned, they carry lots of different decals, flowers, hearts, stripes, Hello Kitty, etc., so there are several more I want to try!
You can get these at KKCenterHK, the price varies between $2.64 to $8, and you can use the code susyincolor for a 10% discount. Code expires on 01/31/13.
And here is a swatch of Electric Beat on it’s own.

Thanks for reading and I hope everyone had a nice weekend, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Review Mascara Love Alpha by KKCenterHK by loverofbeauty

Ciao a tutte ragazze :)
So che non c'entra nulla con il blog, ma ho ordinato finalmente il pc nuovo, che arriverà nell'arco delle 48h..non vedo l'ora!
Alla fine ho optato per QUESTO .
Ha delle caratteristiche ottime (ebbene si, amo tantissimo l'informatica e la tecnologia...non si abbina molto al make up eh?), ma non sto qui a spiegarvele per motivi di tempo e pertienenza.

Quindi grazie a tutte per i consigli e passiamo subito alla review!

Oggi vi parlerò di uno store inglese/cinese che vende un po' di tutto, sto parlando di:

È uno store fornito ed abbastanza economico, che tratta dai marchi meno conosciuti ad altri come Revlon.

Sarà una breve recensione, buona lettura :)

Click Per Ingrandire!

Nome prodotto:Love Alpha- Mascara gel & Fiber Black

Colore:  Nero

Prezzo:$8,11 = 6€ circa

Descrizione:

Questo Kit è composto da un mascara normale applicabile con un normalissimo scovolino:

Click Per Ingrandire!

e un altro contenitore (simile al mascara) con dentro delle fibre nere, applicabili sempre con uno scovolino:

Click Per Ingrandire!

Purtroppo non posso valutare l'INCI in quanto non è indicato sulla confezione, quindi per il momento nulla!

Passiamo all'applicazione, seguita passo passo con foto del mio occhio.
Eccolo prima di tutto al naturale:

Click Per Ingrandire!

STEP 1) Applicare il mascara:

Click Per Ingrandire!

STEP 2) Prima che il mascara si asciughi, applicare le fibre sulle ciglia:

STEP 3) Ripassare nuovamente il mascara:

Click Per Ingrandire!

Le mie considerazioni:
Prima di tutto le fibre non mi piacciono per niente, svolazzano ovunque (anche dentro l'occhio) e fanno sembrare le ciglia come dei ciuffetti crespi orrendi, quindi almeno io, non le utilizzerò più.
Per quanto riguarda il mascara, lo trovo nella media: allunga un po', intensifica lo sguardo e riempie un pochino.
Insomma un mascara da giorno a mio parere molto "natural style".
Ovviamente la cosa bellissima è il packaging molto animalier, per questo so che fibre o non fibre tante di voi lo compreranno eheh
Il mio responso è: avete la mia benedizione, purché teniate quelle fibre lontane dai vostri occhietti!!

Spero di esservi stata utile!
Vi lascio con il link del sito KKCenterHK sperando di potervi parlare di tanti altri prodotti, e vi ricordo che per qualsiasi domanda o informazione potete scrivere un commento o scrivermi a: beautylover@hotmail.it

Alla prossima,

Thank you, loverofbeauty
