I already have the Filmstar bronze & glow palette but looking into some of her other products.
Does anyone have any experiences they would like to share esp with her Light Wonder Foundation, her blush and the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder? I'm interested in getting these three things but still on the fence about taking the plunge!
Please let me know, many BTers opinions have helped me out on products before 😄 Thanks in advance!
Rebecca from Not Fit For Print Beauty reviewed the new Matte Eyes to Mesmerise. She found the matte formula to be very different, likening it to putty vs. the mousse-y original Eyes to Mesmerise. She used a cosmetic spatula to remove the product and placed it on the outer lid to keep it from setting while she applied it using fingers. She said it warmed on the eyes and removed with an oil-based makeup remover. Her bottom line: It is very good at being a matte base product that won't budge. It can also be difficult.
Charlotte Holdcroft used a brush to obtain and apply the shadows. She described the formula as velvety and crease-resistant.
@TraceyEB @Sunnysmom I've watched about 5 YouTube reviews on the new matte formula and NONE of them have been positive.
I’m so sad about these lol. They came out of nowhere and i was so excited. I’ve since seen 0 good reviews and i can’t have something drier than a Mac paint pot.
@CookieGirl1, it's really disappointing to see the poor reviews for a new product. It shouldn't be difficult to remove and apply a cream eyeshadow. I have seen some reviews where it works for people and many where it hasn't. I hope CT reformulates this product.
@TraceyEB Sometimes I wonder how products that seem to overall have such poor performance ever make it through production...
Thanks for doing the work for us @CookieGirl1 ! 😊 What a shame. I wonder how @TraceyEB will like hers. Maybe there’s a good trick to layering it as she mentions that makes it work. Has to be some thinking by CT with this product. 🤔 I think I remember some old BB pots that seemed kind of putty like as well . Would that be right? Or someone else maybe.
@Sunnysmom I still have some of those BB pots. They were like putty, but had enough silicone in them to spread easily, at least the ones I have do. I'm kind of afraid to try these though. Even using an eye primer makes my eyes red for a day after removing my makeup, so this would probably not be good.
I need to look also @Ispend2much6 . Pretty sure I have 1 as well. I feel like mine dried out though it’s been awhile since I looked at them. Agree on the primer too. The state of my fragile eyelids make any of these probably unworkable sadly. Something more gentle with a bit more slip underneath would have to work for me like a Nars stick or Trinny pot. I’ll go look at them but probably have to pass which is a shame. The idea seems good as I like a good cream shadow as you do. Maybe we will be happily surprised when we hear how Tracey likes them. 😊
@Sunnysmom It sounds like the formulation is overall somewhat dry and difficult to blend or work with and that it's lacking in pigmentation.
Hmm @TraceyEB , good info. Not sure what I think now, how about you?!
@Sunnysmom, to my oily eyelids, this sounds like a product that might apply without the need for eye primer and has longevity without creasing; on the other hand, it doesn't sound very exciting to have and use. The stiffness reminds me of BB matte cream eyeshadow sticks that haven't been used for a while and can feel tight on the eyelids unless warmed. Am still going to try the formula.
Yes maybe so @TraceyEB . I have one of those matte eye sticks as well and here it sits. Ugh. I probably won’t try one yet. Love to hear your thoughts when you do though. 🥰

Early Access Announced - New Matte Eyes to Mesmerise
@TraceyEB I guess I'd better start reading her emails! These look great. I wonder if I won't have a reaction to these like the other formula. @Sunnysmom Are you going to try one?
I may @Ispend2much6 @TraceyEB ! It is exciting if the ingredients have changed and we may not have reactions as with the other shimmers. Nice you don’t TraceyEB. I don’t have any issues with her powder quads. ( On a sep note I am just trying the new IT crayon as well. It does have some soft shimmer so it may not work. Will see. )
@Ispend2much6, the ingredient list appears to be different than the original Eyes to Mesmerise, so hopefully you won't have a bad reaction to the matte version! Ingredient list for each formula is in the spoiler box. I'm definitely trying them. CT cream eyeshadows work really well for me.
@TraceyEB You are a doll! Thank you- I think you're right. This is very exciting!
Thanks @TraceyEB ! These look subtle and soft!
@Sunnysmom, that's a lovely way to describe them! Thought of you when I saw that there were cool tones! 💃
