Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Eyeshadow Block

Aside from fabulous clothes, Forever 21 also carries a wide array of cosmetics and beauty tools! While this Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Eyeshadow Block was given to me by my cousin from Canada, we also have it here in our local Forever 21 stores for a little over P100.00.

Love & Beauty by Forever 21 Eyeshadow Block

About the Product:


Swatch:

Pros:
  • It's nice to know that the cosmetics from Forever 21 are not tested on animals, and are cruelty-free.
  • Manufacturing date is indicated on the packaging.
  • Packaging is simple but it doesn't look cheap.
  • You get 4 nice neutral shades of eyeshadows in one space-saving, slim, and compact eyeshadow block.
  • The first and second shade works well in brightening up my eye area, while the darker ones give definition.
  • It's very affordable, as Love & Beauty products are generally inexpensive.

Cons:
  • The shades aren't that pigmented.
  • It has fallouts when used with an eyeshadow brush. Plus, each strip of eyeshadow is quite narrow so if your brush is wide, it can mix with the color beside it. Finger application with this one yields to better results.

I'm liking the first, second, and last shade from the eyeshadow block. I don't know how to work with the third one. :O This one is just nice to have, but not really a must-have. I won't be repurchasing, as I could get nicer, better quality eyeshadows if I just add a few hundred pesos. The cosmetics from Forever 21 are all cute but I don't know if the quality is all good (could be comparable to E.L.F., maybe?).
 
Have you tried Love & Beauty cosmetics from Forever 21?

Love,
Helen

    1. I agree! Affordable makeup like this one is good for those who are experimenting and practicing makeup application. Next time na mag move on to more expensive products. :)

  5. the colors are so much like that of tose in Urban Decay's NAKED 2 :) i hope you can do a sample tutorial using these colors as i havent used mine since i dont know which colors go together...i didnt know FOREVER 21 carry cosmetics as well...ive been to their store quite a few times only since the dresses/pants/blouses/shoes doesn fit my size if its not too small its a bit large...my frustrations lol i bought some of their accessory though but rarely use it here i dont know maybe i just don't know which accessory goes with the dresses that i have...going back to eye make up i have also the pro palette from lorac i think their color is easier to wear at least for me :)

    1. I love F21 but most of their clothes, especially pants are too big for me. Sometimes, I shop at the kids section! I find their pants from "Forever 21 Girls" to be a perfect fit for me! Haha! I will try to do a look for this, although I am not so confident with my makeup skills, especially blending. It's a struggle for me! Haha. That Lorac palette is interesting. I just watched Michelle Phan's video about using your hands to apply eye makeup. She used Lorac eyeshadow in the tutorial and it looked gorgeous! :)

  6. Nice neutral shades! Wouldn't hurt to have this for emergency purposes. And I wouldn't be too heartbroken if ever I lose it. :P
