Review: CUICU Flashing Diamond Single Eyeshadow - Coral Orange & Eggplant Purple

I am so excited to share with you a product I received from KKCenterHK that I instantly fell in love with.  It is two of the CUICU Flashing Diamond Single Eyeshadows: Coral Orange, and Eggplant Purple.  KKCenterHk is a cosmetic online shop that carries various items from lipstick to nail polish to wigs.  The list just goes on really, and you will find yourself discovering new items.

I like how the package is just very sleek and simple.  Not to mention you could see the color of the eyeshadow without even opening the box.  They come in 4.2g which is more than some eyeshadow pans really.  For example:  Sugarpill Cosmetics pan is 4g; MAC Cosmetics pan is 1.5g.  So you really get a lot of product for such a great price really.  


How pretty do those look inside their pan?  When it comes to eyeshadows, I understand how tricky products could be.  Looks pretty and seems pigmented, but once you swatch it isn't that much.  These eyeshadows are not one of them what so ever.
The back of the eyeshadow package does not list the eyeshadow color, but instead a number.  It doesn't really bother me since the KKCenterHk list the name of it.
I thought it was neat that they put an expiration date on the package.  So those of us who usually get rid of our products over time, know when it has expired.  As the package states "Beauty Left Breathless" is seriously true.  You cannot believe how much these beauties cost!!  I'll tell you later on in this post.  You could also use these either wet or dry, depending on your taste.

Both eyeshadow swatches are done over NYX Eyeshadow Base White.  Left side is dry, and the right side is wet.  The eyeliner I used in all three of these looks is YANQINA Waterproof Big Eye Eyeliner in Black.  The mascara I used was Maybelline Plushy in Black.


07 Coral Orange: is a brightly colored coral that leans a little bit towards orange and has a matte finish.

I placed the Coral Orange on the crease area and blended it out more with eyeshadows from theBalm Nude'tude (Sultry and Sleek).  The bottom line outer corner also has some of the Coral Orange eyeshadow.  You could easily soften up the Coral Orange by blending it out more. 

17 Eggplant Purple: it seems more of a plum type purple to me or a slightly deep purple.  It has a matte finish.
 
I placed the Eggplant Purple all over my lid and the bottom lid.  Added some Sugarpill Cosmetics Bulletproof in the crease and blended the Eggplant Purple and Bulletproof together.  Used Sugarpill Cosmetics Tako as a highlighter.

Here is a quick look I did using only the Coral Orange and Eggplant Purple.  The eyelash is from Eylure Naturalites 011 you could see that review here.

  •  Smashbox BB Cream
  •  Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder
Lips:
  • Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Color Smokin' Hot Pink
Cheeks:
  • Careline Blush-on Fresh Tomato
Eyes:
  • CUICU Flashing Diamond Powder Eyeshadow Coral Orange
  • CUICU Flashing Diamond Powder Eyeshadow Eggplant
  • YANQINA Waterproof Big Eye Eyeliner
  • Eylure Naturalites 011
  • Maybelline Plushy Mascara - Black
  • Sephora Collection Smoky Kohl Eyeliner - Keep Black
  • Uniqso Barbie Puffy 3 Tone Violet 

These were very easy to blend.  There are barely any fall outs what so ever.  Highly pigmented.  And not to mention the price is only...
$4.83
How amazing is that price?!  With the pigmentation and the size, I would honestly expect it to cost  a bit more.  I find that these are even more pigmented than a lot of high/medium end brands out there.  KKCenterHk carries other colors for the brand of CUICU.  If you love eyeshadows as much as I do make sure to take a look at their site, and check out CUICU for yourself.  They ship worldwide and not to mention you could use my code to get a 10% off your purchase.

I hope you enjoyed this post and take the time to head on over to the KKCenterHk site and pick up an item or two.  If you do let me know!  I would love to hear what you think about the eyeshadows as well.

**I received these items for review purposes and in no way am I obligated to give it a positive review.  This is based on how I saw it and my own experience.
