I hope everyone had a great weekend! On Sunday I went to Land of Legends, which is an open-air museum. It was fun to see all of the different villages and people dressed up from the various ages including the Viking Age!
Not too long ago I received the Manna Kadar Fantasy 3-in-1 Blush Highlighter Eyeshadow in my April 2017 GoodieBox.
Fantasy is a rose gold shade with a shimmer finish. I love this shade, but it cracked shortly after I took it out of the bubble wrap, which made me very disappointed that it was so fragile. Since it cracked, it is more difficult to use this shade without having a ton of excess product on my brushes. Despite the cracking, this shade has good pigment, and once the excess product is removed, it is easy to apply and blend and has practically no fallout. When I used this shade as an eyeshadow, I applied it all over my eyelid. This shade is gorgeous as an eyeshadow because of the added shimmer. With an eyeshadow primer, this shade lasted all day without fading, creasing, or smuding. This shade was also more pigmented when I used it with an eyeshadow primer. As a blush, this shade has way too much shimmer and I would prefer it to be more matte. However, this shade is perfect as a highlighter because it is buildable and can be used to create a natural glow or a more intense glow. When I used this shade as a blush and a highlighter, it was long-lasting and the shimmer lasted all day. I do think that the price is a bit high for this shade considering the small size of the pan and the fact that it cracked right after I got it. However, I do like that this shade is versatile and can be used on both the eyes and face.
Overall, the Manna Kadar Fantasy 3-in-1 Blush Highlighter Eyeshadow is amazing as an eyeshadow and highlighter, but I would have liked it to be more matte as a blush.

I haven’t either until I got it in my box! Apparently it’s an American brand created by this French woman named Manna Kadar. Most of their products are versatile like even the lip stain is a primer, lip gloss & stain, but they are on the expensive side!

I love that colour! I have the Manna Kadar pressed face powder and every time I put my brush in it bits crack and chip out! I wonder if it’s a theme with their products🤔 great post 😊

Thanks! 😊 It’s a shame that the face powder cracks too! I also have the bronzer highlighter duo & I haven’t a problem with it cracking.

I have it too & I’m going to review it later this week! For me the highlighter half is much better than the bronzer half!

Ohh I can’t wait to see it! I don’t think I’ve even swatched mine! I think I havent tried it yet, simply because the halves are so tiny!
