I have been wanting the A’pieu Rilakkuma Eyeshadow palette
for over two months. So when I won some free credits from ALTHEA, I pulled the
trigger. Unfortunately, most of the palette were gone (there were 4 different
eyeshadow palette) including the one I wanted which is #4 Good After Brown and
only the #1 How to Some that is still in stock.
The eyeshadow came sealed, and the palette itself is made of
sturdy plastic but still heavy when you hold it, so it doesn’t feel cheap. It
is super overwhelmingly cute, seriously. The plastic protector itself has some
prints of Rilakkuma on it. I do want the Rilakkuma to be imprinted on the
shadow, but I’m probably asking too much.

The palette consisted of 1 matte eyeshadow (a dusty cayenne
orange), 2 shimmer (champagne and peachy orange) and 1 glitter eyeshadow
(copper). This is definitely an eyeshadow palette that’s perfect for fall,
therefore I am not complaining at all. The colors of the eyeshadows are
definitely my style and I know I will be using. The palette is also compact,
which makes it easy to travel with.
The eyeshadows are soft, but the pigmentation is a bit
lacking. I understand it will work well with Korean makeup that just need some
soft wash of colour on the lid, but that will not be sufficient for me
unfortunately. The glitters in the shimmer and glitter eyeshadow is also a bit
chunky and will get everywhere. However with the help of primer, the colour
does show better and it helps from getting fallout. In this swatch I am using
Catrice eyeshadow primer and swatching with a dense flat brush. I found that the shimmers and the glitter eyeshadow also shows up
better with a glitter glue (I’m using Fyrinnae Pixy Epoxy).

Perhaps the worst offender in the palette is the matte
eyeshadow. The pigment does not show up that well and it is quite chalky although buildable. It is nice however for a subtle wash of shadow
for that minimal look.

Overall, it is just an okay product. It is a nice portable
palette for on the go (I really like the size of it as it fits my makeup pouch).
It will stay in my makeup pouch but I’m not seeing myself using it when I want
to go full glam. Although the shade complemented each other and are super
trendy, I will not be purchasing this if not of the cute packaging which is a
definite collector item.

The color is nice but pigment really light. Rilakkuma is a really cute character. Glad that at least u still managed to get 1.
