Considering the size of
Bella Il Fiore‘s Powder Room (10.5cm x 9.5cm x 6.5cm), the fact that there are 6 lip colors, 4 blushers, and 9 eyeshadows is fairly impressive. Apart from that, all the compartments fit snugly together and never feel fiddly.

It comes in a matching pink/black box (right):

(love the packaging…)

The 6 lip glosses are my favorites in this set. They have a glassy vinyl finish and last well. All shades have understated shimmer and fair color density (not too sheer). I like the fact that the selection includes both warmer and cooler shades.

The blushers are velvety and well-pigmented. They all have shimmer but it is not too over-powering. Some of these shades are good for bronzing and shading as well.

The easy-to-wear eyeshadows are also smooth and pretty well-pigmented. The only matte shade is the cream-white toward bottom right. All others have fine shimmer. All the shades go on as they are in the pans, except that the olive (upper right) goes on much greyer.

Overall, this set should work for people with both warm and cool skin-tones, although the blushers will work much better for warm skin-tones and I would love to see one cool pink blusher among the four. Other than that, this nicely packaged set is versatile and is suitable for both daytime and evening. I have been enjoying playing with all the shades (as well as opening and closing all the drawers)!

Hello A-Mused,

I suspected that you might like this. It is very girlie and pretty.

Almost all shades are well-pigmented, especially the blushers/bronzers, which might also appeal to you I think…

Thanks for stopping by again! :)

Are you still using this? I got it a few weeks/months ago, and I absolutely hate the eyeshadows. The pigment on swabs are nice, but once you put it on your eyelids it barely shows up. It creases in about two hours, and it's also difficult to blend. I regret purchasing this item =[ I love the lip glosses though! And, the blush is pigmented, but it streaks and fades in a few hours.

Hi,

I do like the lip glosses in this set as well.

I have not used this for a while. But, as far as I can remember, most of the eyeshadows did show up on me. They were quite blendable and had a decent lasting power.

As for the blushers, I would have actually preferred them to be slightly less pigmented. (I like blushers which are not too densely pigmented.) I didn't notice any streaking on me.

Thank you very much for your question! :)
