How to spot FAKE ZOEVA PALETTES!

Alright, never thought I will encounter this day... I spot people selling their makeup and this girl she got a bunch of ZOEVA palettes and I bought three of them. Despite she was unsure of the authentication because it was gifted from other people. however, 1 out of three is a FAKE!!!
I literally feel so doom.... although I understand this is not the end of the world, still, it is sad D:

So how did I notice? Here are a few crucial points you could find out (some point were taken from other people's experience shared on the internet)
The one I got fake is the Cocoa Blend ones.

• Zoeva palettes are 2.6cm diameter, not 2.5cm. I felt weird when i compare to the two when I measure it, then I realize it's fake!
• REAL palettes come with a code number behind them. A small round transparent sticker with an alphabet and 2 digits. Fake one doesn't have em.
• Even tho words that are printed on packaging are machine whatever u want to say it. they SHOULD be aligned at center of each shadow! ZOEVA takes pride in their quality and designs, it is definitely quirky to find if their product doesn't come in nicely. 
• FAKE shadow doesn't swatch well, a lot of fall out and feels very stiff. when you swirl with your brush, it feels like there's a film on top, making you hard to pick up product with a brush
• ZOEVA's metallic colors are usually their best quality compare to mattes, so when it doesn't show up well, you know u have a fake one.
• Despite ZOEVA mattes are not the best, still at least they should show up a rating of 7/10 by swatch. 
• for COCOA BLEND, the shade substitute for love is wrongly spell into pubstitude for love. And the letterings are packed too close.

I am SO SAD. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

ILIA BEAUTY- Sheer Vivid Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Review

Finally! Reviewing this 42USD product that I brought from Beautylish last year. Honestly tho, I wound't think this worth that much D: This is probably the first time I splurge so much on a the ILIA BEAUTY- Sheer Vivid Tinted Moisturizer!

As I am seeking and trying out natural products, I dunno why I pick this of all tho. I am into 100% Pure but the shade are hard to match with my Asian skin tone (of those expensive samples I had tried from Nourished life, although their 2nd skin range is now in my to try list) Anyhow faith got the best of me and luckily I picked the closest shade in this range. T3 Hanalei 

I am a light coverage person, if i want more coverage i just layer on some powder and call it done. So I am satisfied with what this gives.

-----Here's a simplified of my thoughts on this product:

- easy to blend

-faint powder smell

-takes @ 1 minute to let it set into powder finish

-the product consistency is not well mix, you can't shake it cuz it's not in a bottle, the pigments and water in it has a slight separation causing it too watery or too thick at random times. 

- use dabbing instead of rubbing, otherwise sometimes it will roll out some tiny balls DDDD: 

-slight white cast due to SPF if you layer too much

-recommend using under eye concealer because it makes your eyebag look greyish

-worth trying out if you like natural makeup + light makeup look (that's it if you could burn 42USD)

----Swatch/ blending under natural sunlight----

it might look very light at first but after blending it's fine

Products I regret buying! Sleek Lip palette

I was eyeing this for a long time thinking " I could use this as cream blush too blah blah blah" But then I realize I don't need to have so many cream blush and these lipstick they are so hard to blend  out on the cheek D: Although I got this cheap on ebay like 5 USD per palette still they don't get me as hype as I thought I would ...orz. I like they have different type like glossy, matte or satin, but they freaking dry my lips out as if I have been dehydrating for days orz As I always wanted to rock some red lips but then I realize they weren't as good as I imagine, although there are a few colors in the Tease palette is quite suitable for my skin tone but still...when I went thru the ingredients seeing paraben... I'm out of this league. Wanted to sell it and to be honest nobody really want to carry a lip palette around even if it comes with a brush. Thou al first I though I would be that kind of person but I'm not! HAHA, I'm more on the easy , fastest way to apply stuff to my lips, then I only found out how I love doe foot applicator that much D:

Palette in Tease

 They are very pigmented, again, I'm off  without flaky lips for pigmentation so....

Palette in Siren
I like the coral shade on the bottom left, but it accentuate my flaky lips so much...I'm over it

 Those tiny holes you see were what I try to dug up and experiment them into mixing with coconut oil or lip balm to make them more blend-able etc...

It state it can kept for 18 months which is quite a lot but still I don't think I'm able to finish them up ...

Sad and disappointed I try to sell this out rather cheap D: but nobody wants it apparently orz But I'm not black hearted those kind of people think " Maybe I will use as much as I could then give them away after that 18months" in the end I just donate them to charity shop before they go really bad for your lips D:
