H&M Make up haul: Eye shadows, Bronzer and Brush

I was on a make up roll last year and got into eye shadow obsession. But this year, I decided to go neutral colors and less make up since... hello, I'm entering my 30s.

Which is funny because in college, I wore smoky eyes and my classmates were like "San ang party?"(Where's the party?) and last year I enjoyed blending that I look sick or under the weather when I am not wearing eye shadow at all.

Anyway, I've been searching for an eye shadow make up palette in family of browns (earth colors) because they seemed more natural. Then one night while walking in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, I saw this at H&M:

I did not know that H&M makes make up, but when I saw them, I could not help but get them since I think they are cheaper compared to the local brands I've been recently eyeing on. The make up (bronzer and eye shadows) costs 49.90 HKD each. I did the math and it costs less than Php300. I was planning to just get one eye shadow palette, but I know that I will not be able to sleep, so I bought the smoky one at another H&M branch in Hong Kong on a different day.

NUDES

SMOKY

The eye shadows are easy to blend. I used the smoky palette on this one because its a little hard for me to get some color in the nudes. They are good for everyday make up but tends to lighten at the end of the day. 

Unedited, raw photo I just took after applying. No eye primers, no eye liner, and no mascara.

The palettes are already used when I took this pic. I wasn't planning on blogging about them, then I decided to just do it.

Next is the Bronzing Powder

 I love this! Although, I am still learning how to blend these three. I think I am the only morena I know who loves bronzers. 

If you're a long time reader of this blog, I mentioned before I fell in love with the make up brushes first before the make up artistry it self. I couldn't help but buy a make up brush from H&M.

This one is called BB cream brush (69.90 HKD), but I do not exactly know how it can apply a BB cream. All I know is when you are using cream based make up/foundation, better to use a foundation brush instead because of it's bristles. 

H&M's BB Cream brush has a slightly angled brush that I use for contouring. I love the bristles and it reminds me so much of my favorite make up brushes from The Body Shop.

Anyway, it's been more than a month since we got back from Hong Kong and H&M recently opened its first store in the Philippines. I haven't had the time nor opportunity to check their store in SM Megamall. I wonder if they also carry this make up line because so far, I haven't seen them featured in blogs.
