Review: Nabla Artika Collection

Hi loves! I have heard so many amazing things about Nabla and end of last year I placed an order and picked up few items from their Artika Collection. Its an Italian makeup brand and their beauty products are cruelty free and vegan friendly.

I got 8 eye shadows: Water Dream, Desire, Mellow, Circle, Chatter Mark, Fahrenheit, Baltic and Frozen (refills, 2.5 g, 6.50 EUR) and one of the Diva Crime lipsticks in shade Underground (4.2 g, 12.90 EUR). I also picked up magnetic palette to put in all my new eye shadows. Its their Liberty Twelve Customizable palette (10 EUR).

The magnetic palette is really handy to have, as it fits all the shadows in it. Also the quality is good. I have taken it with me when traveling and it kept all my shadows safe and nothing broke.

The lipstick comes in a dark metallic gray tube, which is not too big and makes it travel friendly.

The formula of it is creamy and has a matte finish. It contains Japanese Camellia oil, for perfect hydration and anti-oxidant benefits. The shade Underground is dark purple, which is very vampy color and actually looks okay on me. I picked this shade out of the other shades, because it was so unique and I don't think I own anything like this. It also has a sweet scent to it, which is not over powdering and lasts a long time. On me it lasted more then half a day and I did have snacks and drinks that time period.

I like the formula is free of silicone, mineral oil, parabens, pegs, phthalates, edta and is dermatologically tested.

The shadows I got are from glittery shades to matte and everything between. All 8 shadows are pigmented and with silky formula, which is easy to apply and blend out. These also can be used wet or dry. The eye shadows are free from Silicone, Mineral oil, Parabens, Pegs, Phthalates, Edta.

Top row

The first shade is Water Dream, which is golden glitter shade and is perfect to apply all over the lid. Very glam shadow <3

Next is Desire, which is shimmery bronze shade. Its not as unique then the first shadow, but I love my brnoze shades and I can't have enough ;)

Mellow is metallic dusty golden shadow, which looks beautiful all over the lid.

Circle is more to the matte side and is a light brown with hint of plum in it. I have used it mostly in the crease and is my most used shadow :)

Second row

Chatter Mark is metallic blue with hint of silver in it. Perfect to have when making dramatic smokey eye.

Fahrenheit is a deep matte red shade and I don't think I own anything like this.

Baltic is a dark blue shadow, which is perfect to do smoky eye with. It does have some sheen to it.

Frozen is gorgeous metallic silver! It looks fab combined with Chatter Mark.

This is all I got from Nabla and I'm very impressed with the quality of the products and how well it is to use. Next time I want to try more wearable lipstick though, as the formula is so nice.

If you are interested in this collection I'll link it here.
