It is gonna be quick one, so check out the pictures!

 

Hi guys! How is it going?

Today i'll be talking about these new babes from Hegai and Esther. These were launched in November with an event that focused abused women, which was really cool. I was invited to be one of the makeup artists to demonstrate makeup skills to these women, to make them know what products to use and ultimately look beautiful again, regardless of what they had been through! Cool right?  I was really inspired by this!

So these were the items I received, which are some of the newly launched products. Hegai and Esther really went in on this! Foundation, Loose powder, Concealer pan, highlight pan, Matte lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes and so much more! I  received these

HEGAI AND ESTHER FLASH PAN 

This is a highlight palette that has four shades. It has two creamy, less sparkly shades (bottom row) and has 2 shades that are sparkly (top row)

I really like the color selection in this palette. Even the light ones are very wearable for someone with my skin tone.

The highlighters go on beautifully. I apply the creamier ones first, then layer the very sparkly ones on top, for ze ultimate glow!  I don't think I have any negative thing to say about this particular palette

Peep ze glow..you know I am way too extra with my glow, so don't be scared!

HEGAI AND ESTHER DUO COVER FOUNDATION

Unfortunately I received a wrong shade, so I really cant review this foundation. But i still swatched it to show you. From the swatch, it looked like its coverage is good and it also dried matte

This shade should be perfect for a MaryKay 507. It is called MANGO

I think there are about 3 shades of this eyeshadow palette but this shade is called TRINITY.  Unfortunately, the yellow gold in the palette which is the most interesting shade to me, had broken, but i used the H&E alcohol to fix it up!

The first 3 shades certainly jumped out at me, they swatched really well, with amazing pigmentation

NA REAL DUO COVER! I really love this product! Really do.

This powder applies BEAUTIFULLY! And the coverage is really good for a powder. REALLY GOOD, I kid you not! I used it first on my snapchat and I was pleasantly surprised.#

The only problem I have with this is blotting it. you know when the oils start peeping through and you need to blot, it leaves patches. I haven't tried this with foundation yet, so I don't know  if it does that with foundation, but I wouldn't expect it to. Other than that, perfect! You have to try it! Oh and yeah, it isn't matte, at least on me. You'd have to use a good primer and setting spray to lock it in place. 

This is what a matte lipstick should be. REASONABLY matte, comfortable, not drying, pigmented, applies easily, long lasting etc etc etc etc! Just shut the door and let;s leave this discussion. This is bomb!

Really excited about this shade, BARE HUG, because I don't have anything like it.! Can't wait to use this in a look.
