If you guys don't know about the brand, MustaeV-- you guys are missing out! They are a Korean makeup brand that has makeup brushes, eyeliners, mascaras, eyeshadows, foundations, blushes, lipsticks, and lots more. While I only have tried their eyeshadows, I cannot tell you guys how their other products work--but if I do end up trying some more products from them, I'll be sure to make another review!

So anyways let's get started with the eyeshadow review~ So these eyeshadows on MustaeV retails for $13 each. I kind of compared these eyeshadows to MAC cosmetics' eyeshadows because they are roughly about the same price (MAC being $2 more) and their packaging is slightly similar.

They come in a black box with an opening to see the color of the eyeshadow just like MAC's  eyeshadows does.

However, on the back it's totally different. I really like the back packaging. I don't know, it just looks really sleek.

The name of the eyeshadows are stickered on top of the lid's box. It's also on the back of the actual eyeshadow.

When you take out the eyeshadow, you'll see that there's a cardboard covering the eyeshadow so the box isn't so flimsy.

So first off, this is color the called Peacock. Click here to buy this eyeshadow.

As you can see, it's a dark dark brown with red micro shimmers. If you guys are on the Naked 3 by Urban Decay bandwagon, there's an eyeshadow in that palette that's pretty much the same as this eyeshadow. 

Here's a swatch of Peacock: From the pan, you'd think that when applied there will be a ton of red specks on your eye. However, that really wasn't the case. Yeah, you can see the little red shimmers from this swatch but when applied on your actual eye, you barely will notice it.

This is matte skin-like color which in my opinion is the perfect transition color for your eye look! This eyeshadow is really smooth in application and it's the perfect amount of pigmentation.

Here's a swatch of Pekoe: As you can see, it's just a tiny bit darker than my actual skin tone so it's perfect for transitioning your eyeshadows. If you are a darker complexion than me, I wouldn't recommend it because it won't show up on your lids.

I have to say, out of all the eyeshadows I got, this one has to be my favorite. It's such a gorgeous vibrant shimmery green color. I have nothing like this in my collection so I'm super excited. Although I like the pigmentation by itself, but if you spritz your brush  with a bit of water before picking this eyeshadow up to apply on your lids, the color intensity will be DRAMATIC.

This color is also a favorite! I have an addiction to taupe eyeshadows so no doubt I like this one. This is a shimmery taupe (DUH) with that looks metallic which is super awesome~ I find this color to be the smoothest in application.

Here's a swatch of Brownstone:

This is the last color I have to share with you guys and it's called Julep.

This color is shimmer cranberry copper color. It looks a lot more cranberry like in the pan though. When applied, it leans a lot more towards the copper color.

Here's a swatch of Julep:

That concludes my review, guys! I think $13 a piece for these eyeshadows are worth it. Not to mention, you can save some more money by using my discount code: patricia Their quality is quite impressive especially with more of the metallic ones. Since their eyeshadows left such a good impression on me, I really want to try out their other products! Be sure to check out MustaeV!
