em michelle phan: day life palette: weekend brunch

hi all! here's our second installment of my swatches and impressions of the em michelle phan's day life palette: the weekend brunch quadrant. (to see the original haul post, click here. to see the first installment, click here.) ~Lindsay-chan ^.~

 

eyeshadows 6 to 1, blush, lips 2 & 1 (corresponding names are below); shadows are swatched over milani eye primer

impressions:
eyes:

1. nibble -- this is actually a really pretty blue/purple toned black; works great as a liner color and stays pretty well
2. french toast -- this definitely doesn't remind me of french toast...but it's a super pretty smoky plum type shade with an almost reddish duochrome to it; works great as a liner color and stays pretty well
3. ballet flats -- this is such a pretty pinky copper (rose gold?) shade..i can has it in a larger size?!
4. peach gelato -- it's such a pretty orange-cream type color. on my eyes, it's almost like a correcting/base type shade and i actually like that aspect of it
5. girlie -- it's a really pretty pinky-peach shell type color
6. crème -- this is similar to french kiss from the day dreaming quadrant, it's actually like a chalky-pastel white. i applied it with my finger, but it took quite a few swipes to actually get on there good

lips:

1. parisian nude -- this is very similar to one more from the day dreaming quadrant. it's got a pretty shimmer to it but it goes on sheer. the gloss has a slight peachy tint to it..but it's almost negligible.
2. roses -- this is a really pretty shade of gloss, almost a mlbb type shade..on the red side.

cheeks: pinched -- this looks so close to my skintone, it's ok. even if i pack it on, it's not really all that noticeable...unless you're in my face. then you can tell the texture is different and it's shimmery.

 

i think i'd like going out and about with this one, maybe with a little bronzer since the blush is near my skintone. and the upper liner is a tad weak, but not too bad. i actually like this quadrant a lot more than i thought i would.
