Hi everyone!!!
Today I'm going to be doing a review on the Technic Essentials Clear Carry Case Makeup Set. I got this for my birthday last year so I've had it for over 6 months so I think I can give you a good review.

Lipsticks
I like the lipsticks but the colour range isn't the best. You get a pink and 2 nudes whereas I would've preferred a pink, red and a nude. I haven't worn the nudes as they are a bit metallic-y and I'm kinda scared to wear them. I love the pink and it's my most worn lipstick as it's pigmented, it doesn't dry out the lips and it's a great colour- not too nude but not too bright!!!
Overall Rating: 4/5
Eye Shadows
I love the eye shadows in this set as there is 4 compacts and the formulation is great! There is 2 nude palettes and 2 more vibrant colours- blue and green. I'm not the best at applying eye shadows but I'm learning. I don't wear eye shadow a lot but when I do I will wear some from one of the nude palettes. I do have some eye shadows from a makeup case from Wilko that I got Christmas 2013 from my sister but the eye shadows are way too pigmented.
Overall Rating: 5/5
Lipglosses
I not a big fan of lip gloss as you can easily get your hair stuck to it and it comes off quite easily. I like the colours that you get- a baby pink and a coral- and they are really wearable. If I had a special event to go to, I probably would wear one of these because they are quite glamourous and as you wouldn't really wear it everyday so it's nice to wear it.
Overall Rating: 3/5
Nail Polishes
I like the colour selection of these nail polishes but they're not the best as they chip quite easily. I wore the green sparkly one at Christmas but it started to chip after 3 days so I was a bit disappointed. You get three colours- a pink sparkly one, a sliver and a green sparkly but it would've been nice to get some plain colours.
Overall Rating- 3/5
Eyeliner Pencils
I love these eyeliner pencils! I've never used gel eyeliner as I'm scared I'll mess it up. I do want to try one of those gel pen eyeliners (like the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner but that's £20) but I haven't got round to buying one. You get a brown and a black but I've only used the black one because I've got brown eyes.
Overall Rating: 5/5
Eyeshadow Bases/ Cream Eyeshadows
These are so crap! I swatched them before and they had no pigmentation whatsoever. If you was to wear them by themselves as a cream eye shadow, you wouldn't be able to see it as, especially the white one, don't show up well. I would use these as a base but I haven't tried it yet so I can't report back on that yet.
Overall Rating: 1/5
Powder
This powder is amazing! It's hard to put powders and face products in a case like this because not everyone has the same skin tone but luckily for me, it matches perfect with my skin tone. It would've been nice if it came in packaging that had a mirror but as you get two mirrors with this set, it doesn't really matter.
Overall Rating: 5/5
Blushes
The blushes are also great! You get three different colours- a lighter one, a light pink one and a darker one that you could use as a bronzer. I like to use the pink one and it's a great colour; I had a bright pink one in my Wilko (the supermarket) case that I loved off but when it was on me, it looked like I had been in a marathon. There is something for everyone in terms of blushes.
Overall Rating: 5/5
Lipliners
Lipliners are great if you are attempting to get Kylie Jenner lips but I don't really care for them. You get a pink one (that matches the lipstick) and a red one but I don't understand why as you don't get a red lipstick with this set. I rarely wear lipliner but it's essential to wear it if you are wearing a red lip so it doesn't 'bleed'.
Overall Rating: 3/5
The Other Things
You get a lot of essentials with this case like miniature brushes, toe separators and mirrors. They are really good to have and it's nice that they are provided with this case. Even though they're quite small, they're actually really good!
Overall Rating: 5/5
My Overall Rating
