Unboxing and First Impressions: SHELLWE and GIRLCULT Makeup Products
Welcome back, beauty aficionados! Today, we’re diving into a world of stunning makeup with an unboxing and first impressions session featuring products from the indie brand SHELLWE and the charming GIRLCULT. With unique packaging and captivating colors, these products promise to add a touch of magic to your makeup routine. Let’s explore what I discovered in my latest haul!
The Allure of SHELLWE
SHELLWE is making waves as a Chinese indie brand known for its artistic approach to makeup. Upon opening the package, I was greeted with a delightful message—a small but thoughtful touch that showcases their commitment to customer experience.
I ordered three products, including a multichrome liquid eyeshadow, and an exciting highlighter palette. Let’s take a closer look at each item:
- Multichrome Liquid Eyeshadow: While I approached this product with caution due to my previous experiences with liquid eyeshadows, I was impressed by its beautiful fairy tale-inspired packaging. This product can serve dual purposes as both an eyeshadow and a highlighter, offering versatility in application.
- Stray Birds Flakes Eyeshadow: This single eyeshadow comes in a magnetic container that makes it easy to store and transport. The texture is lovely, and it offers vibrant color options ranging from pinks to greens, perfect for creating eye-catching looks.
- Present Highlighter Palette: Enclosed in a grand package, this palette features six different highlighters, each with unique shades. From icy whites to pinks and golds, this palette caters to various skin tones and makeup styles, making it a must-have for any makeup enthusiast.
Exploring GIRLCULT’s Offerings
The GIRLCULT brand stands out with its unique style and quality products. I was excited to try their lip gloss, which boasts a stunning multichrome finish. Here’s what you need to know about some of their standout products:
- Multi-Chrome Lip Gloss: Priced around $10, this lip gloss packs a punch with its vibrant shades and glossy finish. However, I noticed that while the sparkles may fade quickly, the base color has good staying power, which is something to consider when applying it.
- Graphic Eyeliner: I also explored some gel eyeliners from SHEGLAM, which have become quite popular recently. They provide decent color payoff and stay put well in the waterline, making them reliable companions for creating bold eye looks.
Creating a Look
With all these fantastic products at my disposal, it was time to create an eye-catching look. The plan involved a graphic eyeliner style complemented by radiant highlighters. Using the lip pencil first allowed me to sketch out the desired shapes easily before committing with the eyeliner.
As I transitioned into the actual makeup application, I utilized techniques that ensured precision, especially while drawing the wings of my eyeliner. In fact, I found that using a standing mirror in my bathroom provided a better angle and less strain on my back compared to using a small hand mirror.
Bringing It All Together
Once the eyeliner was set, I incorporated the highlighters from SHELLWE’s palette to add dimension and interest to my look. The result? A dazzling play of colors that shifted beautifully with every angle—definitely a conversation starter!
The finishing touches included applying the GIRLCULT lip gloss for a luscious shine that tied the entire look together. I was pleasantly surprised by how well all the elements blended, creating a glamorous yet approachable appearance.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, my exploration of SHELLWE and GIRLCULT has been rewarding and enlightening. The quality of the products and the attention to detail in their presentation show a commitment to artistry that is both refreshing and inspiring. Whether you’re new to makeup or an experienced enthusiast, these brands offer something special worth trying.
