4$ Eyeshadow Palette that defies Inflation: Essence Bronze This Way Eyeshadow Palette Review

 I didn't discover this gem on my own. The credit goes to Tati Westbrook for reviewing these on her YouTube channel. Luckily, I found this at a local drugstore at a very affordable price. Essence has released a total of 8 palettes but I have only found 3 in most of the stores.


Essence Bronze This Way Eyeshadow Palette Review


Your favorite songs just got a little more colorful! Mix and match 6 highly pigmented wearable shades to create stunning eyelooks suitable for any song and dance. The warm bronze tones range from matte to shimmery​ textures, the perfect combination so you never miss a beat! essence cosmetics is certified and acknowledged by PETA as a cruelty-free brand. We do not test any of our products on animals.


This palette is inspired from Lady Gaga's Smashing Hit ''Born this Way''. As the name implies, these revolve around bronze shades. I prefer neutral eyeshadows as I use them every day. So I was very happy with the color combination of this palette.




There are a total of 6 shades in a single palette. Overall, the size is quite small, but I am not bothered much because the size makes this travel friendly. The best part about this palette is its good-sized mirror. Not many eyeshadow palettes come with a mirror these days .



There are three matte shades and three shimmering shades in this palette. There is a nice balance of lid and transitional eye shadows. The matte shades are super pigmented with zero fall out. They blend seamlessly and last the entire day. The shimmer can be applied with both brush and fingers. They enhance the eye makeup and add extra oomph to the whole look . 





This is my first time trying an eyeshadow palette from essence and I am not disappointed. The quality is on par with some of my high end makeup palettes. Colors are very versatile and can be used to create both day and night makeup looks.  You don't need to buy fancy eye shadow palettes from Sephora anymore. This is one of the best budget finds of the year 2022

I am interested in picking more shades from this collection as these have caught my interest.

Have you tried this eyeshadow palette? What are your thoughts on this ??

OLENS Russian Smoky Review.

Hi guys  I'm posting a new Olens review, and this time around my post is on Olens Russian Smoky line. The special part about this contact lens range is that Black Pink recently wore these in a official music video 







 I received all three lens from Olens


1. Russian Smoky Gray



  • Color: Gray
  • Duration: 1 day (10 pairs )
  • Graphic Diameter: 13.3 mm
  • Material: Daily (Puscon)






Beautiful smoky effect these remind me of husky eyes . The color is quite cool toned, icy and look beautiful and mysterious on the eyes . I wore these to an event and received so many compliments from my colleagues. 



2. Russian Smoky Olive



  • Color: Olive
  • Duration: 1 day (10 pairs )
  • Graphic Diameter: 13.3 mm
  • Material: Daily (Puscon)






I have tried so many Olive Contact Lens from Olens and these are by far my most favourite green contact lens from Olens. Color is a beautiful milky olive color and has a inner ring of brown and gold which adds a touch of natural effect to the eyes


3. Russian Smoky Brown 


  • Color: Brown
  • Duration: 1 day (10 pairs )
  • Graphic Diameter: 13.3 mm
  • Material: Daily (Puscon)





These give such natural smoky hue to eyes . Reminds me a lot of vampires from vampire movie Twilight. A very unique brown color this gives traditional brown lenses a run for their money

My Dēpology Skincare Routine Featuring Serum-Infused Micro Dart Patches, Collagen Boosting Serum and Under Eye Patches

After testing these products for over 3 weeks, I am typing down my thoughts and views on this whole set. For reference, I am in my late 20s. I have some really dark circles under my eyes from a poor sleeping pattern and dehydrated /flaky skin due to tretinoin. 

According to the Brand word Depology is derived from two words  '' Dep / Deep and Ology 



Dēpology focuses on innovative and smart skincare solutions. Their products are backed by science and research and are designed to deliver the ingredients deep into the skin for better and faster results. 

The products focus on anti-ageing, firming and lifting the skin and returning it to its youthful state . After all, we all want to age gracefully like a fine wine. 

I will start my review with the mirco dart patches. Prior to this I have used mirconeedle acne patches and had a professional micro needling session for my acne scars so I already knew what to expect from these patches. 


Dēpology Deepcare+ Serum Infused Micro Dart Patches

Description : 

Supercharged Micro-Dart Patches that reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while hydrating the skin. Apply for 2 hours or leave overnight for best results. Use every 2-3 nights.​



To go beyond the surface of your skin, 1000 micro darts, infused with 30mg of our Deepcare+™ serum per patch, penetrate deep into your skin and deliver our solution to the core.

So these are basically serum infused patches with micro darts that deliver the product deep into the skin. Now the thought of micro needles/darts might be alarming for some of you but trust me when I tell you this. I didnt feel anything at all when I applied these to my under eyes. No stinging /pinching sensation . Just the feeling of a sticker on my skin . I wore these before going to bed . And to my utter surprise these didn't budge an inch during the night. . I peeled them off and continued with my morning skincare. Later that evening my friend told me that I looked relatively more awake, fresh and less tired that day. 




The results from these patches are instant. These brighten up the under eye area. Reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollow under the eyes and soften the wrinkles around eyes. It is advised to use these regularly to see better and long-lasting results. . These can be used on nasolabial folds to smooth out laugh lines but for me eye area is a major problem




I also gave these to my Mom to try and the results were more pronounced on her skin. It is safe to say that my mom has now become a fan of these  Micro-Dart Patches. 


According to the Dēpology website using Dēpology Deepcare+ Serum Infused Micro Dart Patches with Dēpology Black Caviar Collagen Under Eye Patches yields better results and enhances the efficacy of the products. So I used these on alternate days as a maintenance treatment. 


 Dēpology Black Caviar Collagen Under Eye Patches


I regularly use under eye patches. They make significant difference for my under eyes . they also make my eye makeup apply smoothly. 



Description :

Dēpology’s Black Caviar Collagen under eye patches are the ultimate luxurious treat to the eyes. These hydrogel patches nourish the skin deeply, which can help to reduce puffiness and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also stimulating and regenerating collagen production within the skin. See results in only minutes by leaving them on whilst you relax.​





These contain black cavier, Collagen and Hyaluronic acid. I usually use these in the morning to depuff my eyes and prep them for makeup. I have noticed that with continuous use these makes the under eye circles less visible, hydrate and make them plump. Just 15-20 mins is enough to revive my under eye area. These dont slip down my face which is the best part . I can easily do house chores / watch tv or read a book with these on 


Dēpology Matrixyl 3000Ρ Collagen Boosting Serum 


Description: 

Advanced Serum Solution Developed to Target Wrinkles​ ​The Micro Dart Treatment Boosting Serum works optimally together with our Micro-Dart Patches to boost the effects of the patches and multiply the speed of the production of collagen in the skin. It is a potent anti-aging agent which helps to firm the skin as well as dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles. While effective on its own, combine with our Micro-Dart patches for best results.​ 






I am on my 3rd month of prescription Tretinoin and my skin has finally calmed down to some extend . One product that helped me immensely through the roller coaster ride is Dēpology Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum . Its special ingredient Matrixyl 3000 and hyaluronic acid made my skin more plump, soft and smooth. It didn't cause any breakouts nor did it aggrevate more dryness on my skin. when used with Dēpology Deepcare+ Serum Infused Micro Dart Patches this acted as a synergist and enhanced the anti wrinkle properties of both product .  I am super impressed with this serum . It is non sticky and pairs well with other products in my skincare routine



In conclusion Dēpology is a really impressive skincare brand . Their carefully formulated products yeild better and long lasting results. The products are unisex , suitable for all age groups and skin types and ingredients are ethnically sourced from china, products are designed and curated in Seoul , South Korea while the distribution center is based in Hong Kong
