I prefer matte eyeshadows better than metallics, that's for sure.
And here's a contender all the way from Australia, the newly introduced brand here in the Philippines last year is called BYS Cosmetics.
I heard this brand is very popular in the land down under for its quality and yet affordable product line. Of course, I should not miss it! I picked up a small palette from the BYS store at the SM Mall of Asia (Ground Floor, Department Store) last year.
BYS Matte Eyeshadow palette attracted me simply because it was matte, wearable and compact. I have no idea how pigmented they are or whether they stay long enough in my lids. Sometimes, it's alright to throw caution in the wind and let fate surprise you, noh?
