Nadine Lustre, a multi-hyphenate artist, recently launched out her collaboration with the Australian make-up brand BYS, the LUSTROUS.  According to Nadine, "Lustrous" just came out of her mind when she was asked to name her product. Aside from that, these make-ups are also inspired by fantasy characters like mermaids. Nadine, being an adventurous and island person, personally chose the design, texture, and products according to her characteristics. 

Since I won @smbeautyph's lustrous glam box giveaway, I decided to blog about this to help JaDine fans and other people who are fond of make-up if this kit is really worth it.

The packaging was designed by Nadine's friend, Soleil Ignacio. Since Lustrous was inspired by Nadine's personality, which is being a Thalassophile, a person who loves oceans and seas, the over-all design really gives you a summer and tropical vibes. The letters were gold and engraved that makes the glam box elegant. Also, the tropical leaves added class to the kit. 

 These unicorn brushes are only included if you'll buy the kit, these are not available individually. As usual, the gold color makes the brushes classy. Lustrous and Nadine's signature are written at the flat part of it. The brushes are so smooth and fluffy. I suggest you should use these to apply your contour, highlight, and eye shadow instead of using the brushes that comes off with the palettes since these are more comfortable and appropriate to use (for me). 

The lustrous eyebrow-gel design is likely BYS' brow-gel. It has a brush at the top of the container, but I don't think it's nice to use it since it's not angled, so I recommend you to get a brush that you're comfortable to use for doing your brows. If you have this brow-gel, be careful of dipping your applicator because it is creamier than you ever thought. The tip is, spread it on your palm first before applying it since a small amount has a big impact already. When it comes to the shade, there's no problem because it's actually great! But as I have said, you need more practice if you'll use this as an eyebrow gel.

The Highlight x Bronzer Palette is my favorite from the lustrous kit. The first 3 shades are for highlights while the last 2 shades are for contouring. The highlights are the bomb especially the pearl white shade. You can also use the 2nd shade as a blush since it is pinkish and there's no blush on product. And for the contour shades, apply a small amount only since it's too strong and pigmented. TIP! You can use the contour shades as a base of your eye make up if you want to apply a matte before putting a shimmer eye shadow. The good thing in this palette is, it gives you a natural and tanned look. I'm telling you, this is one of the products that you must have. 

Price: P1,499


THE EYESHADOW PALETTE

This eye shadow palette is called the CALYPSO palette from Lustrous. This palette has no matte shades because Nadine intentionally selected a shimmery formula to represent her personality; being adventurous, creative, and fond of fantasy sea characters. The colors are neutral and earthy. It also comes off with a brush but as usual, you can use other brushes if ever you have because it's too thin (for me). Tip: You can use your finger as an applicator to control and avoid fall outs.

Price: P799

THE LIP & CHEEK TINT

This is the tint that is included in the lustrous kit, the RAW lip & cheek tint. This shade is like a blood when you apply it on your lips, so I suggest, you just deep a small amount and then spread it. Take note, if your lips are dry, moisturize it using lip balm for a perfect application and result. As for me, I don't think it is good to use it as a cheek tint since it is very dark and bloody. But if you're adventurous enough, why not?

Finally, It's done! So these are the products that are included in the Lustrous kit. I hope I got to help you! :) 

To sum it all, it's better to buy this glam box instead of purchasing the individual products because it will surely cost you too much. Aside from that, most of the products are really great from the packaging to the texture and formula. Like Nadine, Lustrous is perfect for morena girls. 

Again, this is not sponsored by anyone! I just want to help. 

Lustrous products are now available at BYS stores, Watsons, BeautyMNL, Lustrousph and etc.. They will also sell it at JaDine's REVOLUTION US TOUR. 

Reminder: Lustrous is a limited edition collection. I think it will last until August. So what are you waiting for? Avail it before it's too late!
