Review! Shany Cosmetics 180 palette

Hello everyone! :D
I know I'm probably the most inconsistent beauty blogger ever LOL! Sorry! (as usual) 

Yeah!
So i think i'm doing this review out of small annoyance -______- LOL!
There's nothing more annoying than dropped expectations *sobs*


Oh well!
I got this my Shany 180 palette some months back, (from a student whose sister sent them from the US) was still in makeup school and of cause i couldn't wait to lay my hands on it! 

What i said on I.G the when i got it lol!

Lol! The caption!

The middle palette,detachable..
Ooh! Thought i got a palette of life! (-_-)
Oh well...

 
The uselessness of this palette didn't dawn on me until i had to do a shoot recently. I can't explain further lol!

Funny thing is most of the colours are actually really pigmented but they don't stay put, even with a primer. The colour starts falling after an hour. 
I recommend this product for those who just want to paint and play *shrugs*, SO NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. I mean! Don't use this thing if you're going to get paid for a job. Just use it to play.  

I did a few swatches anyway. Here...
With flash. The top row is w/o a base
While the bottom row is with a base. 

Without flash..

See what happened after i used a wet wipe to swipe once
No single stay effect! Just like powder abii chalk! 
I'm definitely not buying any shany eyeshadow again lol!

Do have a great weekend!
Mmmwah!
