I still remember when Stage was opened here in Miri. I was a bit skeptical as looking at the shop which such a professional environment and i have to say that the shop looks like MAC outlet because of the black and white colour and bold font. Thus,I was a bit hesitate to enter the shop until recently...
At first, I thought I just want to look around and have take a look at the products and the prices. Well, I must say I am actually dumb-founded because it has amazing products to offer..in term of price wise, it affordable if need to compare to MAC (however, MAC still worth to get and #1 for me;) ) And what makes me craving for the products at the time, well.. all of the items are on sale up to 50% until Raya..OMG!! now, who could resists that?!! It was calling out my name...loudly! The blushes are really beautiful..so, i wandered around the shop and preparing my list for the second visit..hehe
It does not take long for my second visit. I could not stop thinking about the blushes whole night. Thus, on the next day (or is it the another day??emmm...) I went there and here's the damage...

I swatches using two eye primers which are UDPP and ELF eye primer. As can be seen from the picture, the colour does not stand out if it is wear on its own. Definitely need to use base to make the color pop. The color was not that pigmented and it does not stay long as it is a bit powdery. But it depends on which colour and the texture, for example, i swatched "Buttercream' at the shop and it was very disappointing because it is very powdery. This four shades are actually among the good one and really pop when i swatched at the shop.
Andalucia - Bronze brown, very pretty and really pop! I like this color
Macchiato -dark brown , nice for that neutral smokey brown
Irish cream - sheer golden brown, give that awakening look ..i like this one, very pretty for everyday wear;)
Wildflower - bluish-purple..i love this shade, very pretty...
Will i get more of the e/s?Yup, there's a few beautiful neutral tones if they still offer a discount ;)
Retail price :RM45..i got mine after discount: RM22.50, buy 3 free 1 ;)

The powder blush has 10 colors to offer. Actually all the colors look amazing individually. Pigmentation wise is so-so, but it's buildable and not that powdery. But not good as MAC tho~ n compare to this, I prefer NYX better..just my thoughts~
Freesia - peachy pink tone
Pink Ginger - mute pink
But anyway,it's a good-to-have considering i get it during sales, so i am not complaining much;)
Retail at RM58 (actual price) and i got mine for RM29!! I Love it!!
so, i'll continue with my further items soon..
till then,
xoxo
