Review & Swatches: 3INA*

A while back I posted about 3INA, a new makeup brand that has reached our shores. If you want to read about the brand, than read my post here. Today I’m reviewing some of the products that can be found in their stores.

The Cream Eyeshadow in 305

Let me start this review with my favourite product of out the haul – the 3INA Cream Eyeshadow. The texture of this eyeshadow is AMAZING! It’s so creamy and pigmented, it will blow your mind. Once dry, it’s very long lasting. The glass jar it comes in will last you a long time because a little bit goes a long way. It also serves 2 purposes; you can use it as an eyeshadow (I suggest applying it with your fingers and then blending the outer part with a transition colour using a brush) and you can also use it with an angled brush and apply it as an eyeliner. Overall, this is a must have product from the brand and if you only had to pick one item from this haul, this should be it!

The Blush in 100

This is a lovely creamy yet lightweight blush which applies beautifully. This subtle peachy shade gives you a natural looking flush – definitely the perfect shade for when you want that no makeup look. The packaging is super sleek and sturdy which is always a plus.

The Longwear Lipstick in 508

The formula of this lipstick is very lightweight and it applies very nicely on the lips. It applies almost as a lip gloss at first but then it dries completely matte! You can eat and drink and it stays put – definitely lives up to the name. Also a plus is that it doesn’t crack on the lips so although it is a matte formula, it doesn’t dry out the lips.

 The Eye Pencil in 200

This is a creamy, pigmented eye liner which can be used for both the top lash line and on the waterline. It’s very long-lasting and can be smudged for that smokey-eye look however you have to be fast as it dries down and then it won’t budge. A bonus to this eyeliner is the smudge sponge on the end of the pencil which comes in handy.

 The Colour Mascara in 101

For people like me who don’t really use other mascaras other than the usual black, this mascara makes a good start for crawling out of the colour comfort zone to something a bit different. The shade I have is a dark blue which can look black from afar however if you take a closer look, you can see that it’s a very pretty shade of blue. The brush is amazing at coating all your lashes and the formula doesn’t clump, which is fantastic! 

Using the Cream Eyeshadow, the Blush and the Eye Pencil mentioned above, I created the following look. Below you can also find the swatches of the products reviewed.

All of these products can be found at 3INA – Pama Shopping Mall, Qormi & Tigne Point.
