One thing about me, I’m a sucker for themed makeup. Make it affordable and I will happily purchase it. The ShopMissA Venetian Romance Collection falls into both of those categories. This collection is pretty large with cream bronzers, cream blushes, cream eyeshadows and lipsticks. I chose to buy three of the eyeshadows and three of the blushes. Let’s talk about the blush first!
The Cream Blushes are $1.88 and contain 0.14 ounces of product. I bought three shades: Cake, Parasol and Duchess. Cake is a bright red, Parasol is a burgundy red and Duchess is a mauve. They are packaged in glass jars with a screw on lid. The packaging feels much more expensive than it is.
In the swatch pictures above and pictures of my face below, from left to right, I’m wearing Cake, Parasol and Duchess.
These blushes are really good. Cream blushes aren’t usually my favorite but as far as they go, these are great options. They’re very easy to blend and aren’t overly pigmented but can be built up. They stay slightly tacky throughout the day, which I don’t love, but I can deal with, especially for $1.88. While I do like these, I don’t think having every shade is necessary. They all looked similar once blended on the cheeks. If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t buy Cake because it just looks too similar to Parasol once blended. Other than that, these are great cream blushes.
The Cream Eyeshadows are $1.88 and contain 0.12 ounces of product. I bought three shades: Era, Petticoat and Betrothed. Era is a bronzy green, Petticoat is a rosy copper and Betrothed is an icy champagne. They are packaged in plastic jars with screw on lids. For reference, if you’ve ever tried the Colourpop Super Shock Cheeks, these eyeshadows are the same size and have the same packaging.
In the swatch pictures above, from left to right, is Era, Petticoat and Betrothed. In the look below on the left, I’m wearing Era on my lids and Betrothed in my inner corner. In my look on the right, I’m wearing Petticoat on my lids and Betrothed in my inner corner.
These eyeshadows have a beautiful formula. They’re creamy, smooth and so easy to apply. These are the kind of products I call my “mom makeup.” I can quickly throw them on, blend them out and go. They’re basically identical to the Colourpop Super Shock Shadow formula, but for $1.88 verses $7.00. The shade Betrothed also makes a very pretty highlighter. The only con is these do crease badly. I prefer when cream products dry to a powder finish but these stay creamy all day so they aren’t the most long lasting. I wouldn’t wear them out for a long period of time but they’re fine for running errands. If you like cream products, though, you’ll probably like these.
Final Thoughts:
I’m not sure how ShopMissA keeps their products so affordable but I’m glad that they do. They provide fun and well performing options that work with any budget. Let me know your favorites from the brand! Thanks for reading and have a great day!
