#itsjudytime

With the guidance of Petra and Pixi Beauty, Judy and the other #PixiPretties collaborators have created their “dream” beauty products that not only represent their individual points of view but parallel Pixi’s philosophy of fuss-free in a few minutes. Judy transitioned to a mom on-the-go (which she does gracefully) who loves glamming herself up from time to time over the years. So I expected her product to be practical, no-nonsense and efficient. And we got it; actually, we got two! A 12-shade eyeshadow palette called ItsEyeTime and its lipstick counterpart called ItsLipTime.

ItsEyeTime – Retailing at Php1,495 at Glamourbox, this eyeshadow palette is very Judy. Do you see it, too? You get equal amounts of matte and shimmer neutral shades, which lean on the warmer side. The colors are pretty true to what is in the pan, and the actual formula is pretty hard to beat – I’m talking about nice pigment, very blendable and long lasting. The dark shades have better texture compared to some of the light mattes, but all they ever need is a slight boost of an eyeshadow primer.

Order of swatches is from bottom to top, left picture first then right. Sorry, I kinda messed it up.

Snowflake – Light champagne color that’s really creamy.

Bubbly – Another beautiful shimmery color in gold.

itsmommyslife – My go-to soft, warm brown shade.

Good Morning – Good transitional peach color as it’s sheer enough for that purpose.

Brick – True “brick” shade and very pigmented. One of my favorites!

Honey Bear – Typical matte light brown. Good coverage for a matte finish.

Tu Tu – Another favorite! Reddish brown that looks great on brown eyes. Take note!

Getaway – Ahh, look at that rich pigment! It’s a copper shade with loads of shimmers.

Ping – Deep brown complement of Getaway. Shimmer-wise.

Dark Chocolate – Chocolate brown. ‘Nuff said.

Aww Snap – Brown with slight red undertones. Quite patchy but doable.

Night Night – Black with bluish silver sparkles. I wish it’s more intense and not “soft” because blacks are not soft!

ItsLipTime – To start, I’m a big lipstick girl but not a fan of it in a pan. My old all-in-one palettes have lipsticks still untouched. Maybe I never got into using my fingers to apply, and I’m all like “who has time for that?” to look for a lip brush when I’m rushing in the morning. However, I find that Judy’s take on lip palette is actually good. The colors, albeit not created equal, are beautiful and creamy. The lighter shades require at least two layers using your finger (yes, it’s better than a brush with this palette) for the full opaqueness to show. They are lightweight and with decent wear time. If nude and berry lipsticks are your jam, you get a color for Php125 as this retails for Php1,495 at Glamourbox.

Again, order of swatches is from bottom to top, left picture first then right.

Ta-da – A very sheer, very pale nude. I cannot wear this on its own unfortunately; I think its better to pair with another color to create an ombre look.

Peaches – A peachy kind of nude with a good color payoff.

Julianna Bear – JB! LOL It’s a pinkier nude, very versatile and everybody can wear it.

Milk Chocolate – This one looks soft brown on my arm yet sheer dusty pink on my lips.

Kiera Bear – The rosy peach twin. It looks similar to Ate JB. LOL

Miya Bear – The muted rose bordering brown twin.

B Did It – Barbie pink with just enough brightness.

Falling Leaves – My favorite! Like the warmness Autumn color on my lips.

Chewy – Describing shades is tough! Does this look like reddish Miya Bear to you? It does to me.

Fierce – A deep berry. Perfect for night outs, but then again I don’t do night outs. Haha

Sweet Cherry – Classic red shade. Because it’s not a lipstick palette without it.

Sultry – Intense wine red. Another favorite because it has the most perfect formula from the bunch.

Wearing Pixi + itsjudytime ItsLipTime Get The Look Palette in Fierce

While I think they are good travel palettes, the Pixi-signature light green packaging has a flimsy clear cover. It feels like a toy, which was the first thing that came into my mind. I appreciate the mirror you can stick on though, that’s a lovely bonus.

Overall, I’d bring these when I go on vacations because it’s practical, I cannot complain that I cannot find a suitable eyeshadow or lipstick shade. But not when I’m going to have a long day here in the city, because imagine if I need to retouch my lipstick and a whip out a palette – a bullet is just easier, right? Get them because the darker shades (in both palettes) pack quite a punch, or if you need new colors to play around with, or if like me, you feel the need to get every makeup with Judy’s approval. Haha!
