First of all, i'd like to introduce you to
Bon Marche.
They are an online store based in Philippines that carries authentic U.S. brand cosmetic products for a lower price (isn't that just dreamy??). Sounds fishy? i thought so too myself when i first stumbled upon them but no, they're totally legit and this is saying from a skeptic's point of view (call me what you will but i am very reluctant on buying low end makeups) . I'm not very trusting when it comes to online stores so i tend to search and find out for myself if they really are what they say are and i didn't find any stench on them.
Why are their products so cheap? Well, everyone knows, the best day to go on a shopping spree is on SALE DAY! So that's what they do! They order bulk from their supplier (i read that one of them is Ulta) during sales which makes the product cheaper compared to purchasing them directly from an international website (very handy i say). I gave it a try and here's what i got!

And now,... for the swatches
I swiped these babies once using my fingers on bare skin with a strip of primer below to show how each shade looks like on bare skin and on primed skin. I didn't build up the colors to stay true to what they really look like on my skin when applied once.

Description:
- The Browbone: Matte soft pale pink, almost like a dead rose.
- The Crease: Matte royal blue with a hint of micro glitters(it doesn't show here but to the naked eye, it does)
- The Eyelid: Matte cream beige.
Note:
- The pink and cream shade are soft and velvety. They don't come out as opaque as the royal blue on a single layer but builds up good and can actually make daytime shades!

Description:
- The Browbone: Snow matte white.
- The Crease: True matte red with hints of micro glitters (again not that visible on camera but it is on naked eye)
- The Lid: Velvety matte black.
Note:
- This is probably my absolute favorite among all six palettes (sadly i was only able to grab hold of three). I expected the white to be really sheer but it's not (which is good imo). The black and red shades are gorgeous! I wish i have a spare one coz i'll be using these a lot.

Description:
- The Browbone: Matte young apple green. (Yeah i don't get why they labeled it for browbone).
- The Crease: Matte cobalt blue.
- The Eyelid: Matte grape mauve with slight sheen.
Note:
- I don't agree with the green on browbone and i definitely don't see this combination as wearable (unless i use em one of those crazy make up looks). I like this one coz it's out of the ordinary and the colors are fun too.
Overall:
- This is definitely a matte collection. Some of the shades are kind of chalky at first but blends very well. All of them are very pigmented, even the light shades (compared to similar shades that i own) .
All items i bought myself from:
