Before proceeding with my haul, I bought these items because they were on sale and I am not sponsored to do this blog about each item I show, instead I want to share what I got from the website. Plus I gave each my own opinion about how the products works for me.
Hey everyone, I got a few haul to share with you today but actually I got these last year and wasn't able to use them so I might as well include this for my first haul of January. I love makeup as you all know and I love makeup that are new to me and affordable. So I got to this store which is Lightinthebox.com were they got tons of stuff that are affordable from toys, gadgets, house things and clothes to costume and even makeup as well. I was just browsing around and I found some makeup and stuff. I purchased contour palette that has six shades of contour and it also comes with a big brush that's for contour. The palette comes in a box that indicates in the name " Modern Fashion" and some details I couldn't read because of their bar code blocking the name. But at the back has Chinese writings which I don't understand.

The palette comes in a box that indicates in the name " Modern Fashion" and some details I couldn't read because of their bar code blocking the name. But at the back has Chinese writings which I don't understand.
The palette also has a unique design on the front (actual palette) and has a name which is a clear version of the box that comes with it. It comes with a brush that's securely wrapped in a brush guard to keep it from getting damaged while it's shipped.
The brush is actually really big contour for contour and other purposes I can think of using for this type of brush.
The bristles are soft and not that really stiff.
The actual palette comes a plastic rectangular container with a unique design on top:
The palette at the back has a name tag says: "Three- dimensional carry bright six color grooming compact", I just don't know why it's named like that but maybe for some reason it's a contour powder palette that was indicated on their website.
The palette inside has a mirror on the top lid opening of the palette and below it is the 6 contour shades, protected with a hard transparent plastic on top.
Here's how the contour shades looks like up close:
For the contour shades , (starting from left - right TOP PART) : White, cool tone brown, medium brown. (Left - Right BOTTOM PART): Peach tone white, earth medium brown, Dark brown. The shades doesn't have any names at all but I just decided to describe the shades according to its color.
SAMPLE SWATCHES:
I gave each swatch of the colors on my arm to check and see how pigmented they are, after swatching each shades on my arm I noticed that each colors are pigmented with just one swatch from my finger. But I also noticed that they're semi matte to satin finish with a little chalky fall outs. I might use these for shading and blending as a transition color with this type of contour shades.
For my next purchase I got this 15 cream contour/concealer palette:
The cream shades comes in a plastic black palette , and each shades consist of peach tones - pink under tones - yellow beige tones- yellow undertones - medium brown and cool brown tones:
Each cream shades are the size of a 1 PESO coin, so they're actually small in real life:
After swatching a few shades on my arm to check how each cream turns out, at first it was difficult for me to get a good swatch because some shades were not too pigmented it's like just a plain cream with minimal opacity. And it kinda turns out like a highlighter-cram/ish due to it's minimal opacity. I literally needed to swatch 3-4 times to get a good amount of product to build the opacity that I needed.
So far for my observation of the cream concealer palette, I didn't get my expectations to it as what I expected to be pigmented. But I don't want to throw the palette to waste it's not just good for me to act as a concealer or either contour cream shade. Instead maybe in the mere future I might use them for Halloween, prosthetics effects purposes.
Next item I got is 6 red eye brush sets:
These are eye makeup brushes are said to be in the color red that is said on the product description on the website, but unfortunately they came in the color metallic pink. Each brush are made with artificial fiber bristles and 1 synthetic hair. Each brushes are packed in each plastic for shipment purposes I guess maybe, so that they won't get destroyed while it's being shipped.
ACTUAL BRUSH LOOKS LIKE:
The brushes has rubber handles on the bottom that I think is great how they made these brushes, because you can get a good grip while using them for your makeup. I also noticed that the handles has a signature name which is called "Sedona", and I thought about the sedona lace brand but it was just a thought. (hehehe!)
Each brush has each use for application, for the lips, eyes and face. I love how these brushes were made because it's versatile to use. each bristles are also super soft not too stiff even though some are artificial fibers and one is synthetic hair made.I love the fact that each bristles are secured properly intact in each ferule.
Next I got another brush set, I got this because I was attracted of the color of the brushes were and I love how they came in a off-white leather pouch. The brushes by the way are in a coffee color which is super super pretty! (hyper much! hehe!!)
ACTUAL BRUSH LOOKS LIKE:
The brush set contains 12 pcs of brushes, it has a powder brush, blush brush, foundation brush, eyeshadow brushes like a (2)liner brush,angled & thin, lip brush, blending brush,fan brush, sponge brush and brow brush:
Each brushes are made from pony hairs that are pretty soft not too stiff. Each bristles are made intact to each ferule. At first when I got these brushes I didn't like the scent of fresh made from a factory. :(But other than that I like these brush set fro my personal use.
Okay I know you might be wondering of this last brush piece that I got, because I purposely got this for a giveaway perhaps? I might do a giveaway very soon if you'd like :)
So this next brush set that I got comes in a floral pink pouch which is super pretty girly and the set contains 12 pcs. of pink brushes.
ACTUAL BRUSH LOOKS LIKE:
Each bristles are made from Horse/Pony hairs.
The last item that I got is a makeup brush black waist pouch, it's a synthetic leather, and it's to place in your makeup brushes while your working with a client or either way I can use this for personal use for making tutorials and just putting in my makeup brushes.
The pouch came in packed in a plastic which I like because it is fully protected.
HERE'S HOW THE POUCH LOOKS LIKE ON THE FRONT:
The pouch on the front has a lot of pocket divisions to place in your makeup brushes, it also has smaller pockets for your eye makeup brushes which is good for organizing the brushes you want to work with.
BACK PORTION OF THE POUCH:
The pouch also by the way has a belt strap adjustment to help you adjust wrapping it around your waist. You can see below that I tried some of my brushes to put in the pouch and it fits in well and secure all my face brushes and eye makeup brushes too.
FINAL VERDICT
♦ For the handling & shipping of the items I'd say they were all safe and intact because of each items were wrapped in bubble warps and secured in boxes and sealed well.
♦For the quality each products has their own unique made by lightinthebox.com and when it also comes to how it's neatly made.♦What I like the most of the products, like for instance the makeup brushes that I got I love how they were made, for each brush the bristles are securely made intact in each of their ferule.Also they're unique colors as well I love it. Plus for the brush set they came in their pouches which I think its great for storing the brushes if your'e done using them or just letting them sit in.
♦ For the palettes like the contour powder & the concealer/contour cream I like how they were neatly made, the powders are very pigmented with few swatches that I made. Mean while for the concealer creams my expectations didn't get to what I expected it to be, because the creams were not too pigmented at all plus it kinda' acts like a sheer highlighter.
♦ Lastly for the waist pouch, though it's synthetic leather the quality is good for the price itself since it is cheap. I also like how each brush can be secured inside each pockets of the pouch.
♦ Overall, I'm a bit satisfied because all of the products that I ordered got to me safely and for the price its cheap and affordable. If your wondering for the prices of each item that I purchased and the links also, here they are:
