Magnolia Makeup

Hey beauties, I was just browsing Facebook looking at different cosmetic lines and came across Magnolia Makeup. I decided to purchase one of their Kaleidoscope wheels, which at the time was basically a set of 12 colors. Now they have changed the quantity to 7 and raised their prices again. When I looked at all the photos of eyeshadow looks on their Facebook page I was instantly excited and couldn't wait to try their pigments. I was also pleased to find out that they had their own webpage where you'd be able to purchase these pigments. When I received the pigments in the mail I was very disappointed, a few of the jars had exploded, they were sample 3 gram jars and they colors weren't as vibrant as the colors on their webpage and facebook page. Here is a link to their facebook page: www.facebook.com/magnoliamakeup Here is a link to their company website: www.magnolia-makeup.com Here are swatches of the pigments & below I will give the pros and cons of the product....

Pros:

-customer service is friendly and accomodating

-some of the pigments are pigments like: Kente, Sphinx, and Envy

-they have a variety of colors to choose from

-secute checkout with Paypal

Cons:

-a lot of the colors I purchased aren't that pigmented, the swatches were really packed on

-the consistency of the shadows are chalky and hard to work with

-the pigments do not stick well to bases

-they are expensive for 12 3 gr jars it was originally $70 but they were on sale for $50

-the colors aren't as bright and vivid like the photos on their website and facebook page

-the pigments weren't packaged well which resulted in several of the pigments exploding in transit.

Overall thought: I wouldn't recommend these pigments. There are several other cosmetic companies out there that offer similar colors that are cheaper, are more pigmented and have more in the jar.

take care loves,

xoxo
