Review and Swatches: Mio Piccolo Kira Kira Gem Eyes

Hello my kawaii sistahs!

I want to share my review with the Mio Piccolo Kira Kira Gem Eyes.

mio piccolo kira kira gem eyes in gold, peach, silver, and black

These eyeshadow were included in my August Japanese drugstore makeup and cosmetics haul

I got them for 100円　each in Trial.  I heard they are also available in Can-Do, another 100円 store here in Japan.

 As I made some swatches, I thought these eyeshadow are not for keep.

The texture is so dry...

I think powdery and flaky are the right words to describe them...

and it produce so much fall outs...

sooo horrible!

The black one is pretty decent though...

 I applied them to my eye and guess what?

Glitters were all over my face and even with my hands!

But I've thought a great idea on how to turn these horrible eyeshadow into cutie babies!

WATER!!!!

I sprinkled some water into the brush....

and wolaahh!!!

The color turned pretty nice!!!

Although it turned out pretty nice on the swatches above,  when I applied them to my eyes, it was still horrible!  I don't like it!! 

Overall:

I don't recommend these eyeshadow.  I like the black one though.  That's the only one I would keep in my pocket.  The rest of the colors didn't impress me in any way.

I tried it the next day and here is the outcome....

I bought this eyeshadow last week.  I saw it in a magazine ad and fell inlove.

I love all the colors in this eyeshadow. 

 My only complain is that the eyeshadows didn't last long. 

The eyeshadow tend to fade after few minutes.

I don't think I will purchase the other colors above after my disappointment with this one.

Thinking my conclusion with this palette might be wrong, I tried it again for the second time.

Below are the photos of  my creation today.  I made it more simple than the last time.

after few minutes

Still, the colors tend to fade as you can see in the pictures above.  I don't know why.  I used an eye primer,  applied each color twice but the result was still the same.
