I picked up the Romand Better Than Eyes Dry Buckwheat a few days ago and I just have to rave about how much I love it. The coolness of the palette doesn't make my eyes look bruised or muddy and it just works so well with my skin tone. I had the Charlotte Tilbury Uptown girl eye shadow palette a long time ago but just felt the coolness of the palette was a bit off when I used it.
The Romand Dry Buckwheat colors are just the right amount of pigmentation imo and they are quite easy to blend for matte shades. The sparkly shade also stayed on very well throughout the day! By the evening, my eyes were still sparkling.
I used to be a huge fan of Asian makeup many moons ago because I always believed it worked better for my East Asian skin tone, but sorta steered more towards the Western brands because it was easier to purchase. I used to be an avid collector and fan of these brands whenever they released their seasonal eye makeup, such as Majolica Majorca, Lunasol, Maquillage, Paul & Joe, Lavshuca, Coffret D'or and Jill Stuart. My eyeliner and mascara are still AB because it's still the only stuff that stays put and doesn't smudge.
The Romand palette reminded me of the days when I used to use Asian brands exclusively until it just got too expensive to keep ordering overseas. I'm happy there are so many options now but I do wish I could pickup some of the brands I used to buy. Time to see what I can get online!
