THE VERDICT:

Just before the year ended, Vice Cosmetics took everyone by surprise (and it was a good one!) with a very unexpected collab; one would think that given the brand's trend of partnering with celebrities, the holiday collection would be done in the same fashion, but Vice and his team took us by surprise with VICE COSMETICS X BT21 makeup collection! It's a first for Vice and they're the first Filipino brand to collaborate with tech giant, Line Friends!

Vice Cosmetics X BT21 is a makeup collection made in collaboration with Line Friends BT21. The 13- piece collection features limited edition blush and highlighter duos, Phenomenal Velvet Liquid Lipstick, Water Gel Lip and Cheek Tint, and eyeshadow palette.

The Makeup Vault was released in the grand launch of the entire collection and it featured all the products plus a neon transparent fanny pack, but it went sold out immediately right after the collection went live on Vice Cosmetics' website; no news yet on when the vault will be back (or if it will be back).

Here are the blush and highlighter duos (P245).

1. Prankster- pink peach blush and pale pink highlighter (similar to Vice Cosmetics Byucon blush and Shimmering highlighter)
2. Universtar- dirty rose blush and nude beige highlighter (highlighter similar to Vice Cosmetics in Splendid)
3. Superstar- cool peach blush and champagne highlighter 
4. Planet BT- warm rose pink blush and pearl pink highlighter (similar to Vice Cosmetics Manyika lush and Shimmering highlighter)

The cheek duos are the same quality as Vice Cosmetics Aura Cheek Collection; I have reviewed these before so click HERE for that.

Wearing Universtar cheek duo
Universtar is my most favorite cheek duo among the four because it compliments my skin tone really well; the blush also doubles as a contouring product.

Below are the swatches for Water Gel Lip and Cheek Tint (P175) and Phenomenal Velvet Liquid Lipstick (P225):

Tints:

1. Van- bright red (similar to Vice Cosmetics tint in Kyondi)
2. Chimmy- deep red
3. Cooky- rose pink (similar to Vice Cosmetics tint in F na F)
4. Tata- deep orange (similar to Vice Cosmetics tint in Beshie)

These have the same formula as Vice Cosmetics Water Gel Lip and Cheek Tint, which I have reviewed before as well so please click HERE for that.

And here are the swatches of Phenomenal Velvet Liquid Lipstick, which is highly requested by our TBJ Beshies:

4. KOYA

- Light Coral

Now this is a pleasing discovery; I found that the Vice Cosmetics X BT21 Phenomenal Velvet Liquid Lipstick collection has true limited edition shades; I have tried comparing it with my Velvet Liquid Lipstick shades from the same brand, but found no direct counterparts or similar shades. I personally love RJ, Shooky, and Mang!

I have also noticed that this is a bit different than the brand's first generation velvet liquid lipsticks: this is much lighter in terms of consistency, has a more velvety texture, feels lighter, and color coverage is medium to heavy versus the first version's outright full coverage; this current version of the velvet liquid lipstick feels much better to be used as a cheek tint compared to the first one. Between this and the first one, I like this version of the velvet liquid lipstick more, although the downside is it doesn't set fast enough.

Finally, we're down to the second highly- requested feature from the collection by TBJ Beshies: Vice Cosmetics X BT21 eyeshadow palette (P395).

The palette contains a variety of finishes ranging from matte, satin, and metallic. The powders have a soft texture, medium to heavy finish, and are very blendable; they yield significant fallout though so apply sparingly.

The eyeshadow palette is more on the warm side and I think it will complement warm skin tones more, although fair and medium- skinned girls can definitely work the colors on their skin tones too.

Here's a sample look using the eyeshadow palette; I think my camera's exposure here was too bright and it kinda' washed out the colors, but the entire eye makeup look is a bit more intense in person.

I like that there are 13 eyeshadows in the handy, sleek palette; the color selection is pretty basic, but I like the inclusion of metallic shades such as the metallic copper shade on my lids and metallic gold bronze shade to spice up the look for night time.

The eyeshadows do not last long on their own, btw, so you must use a primer prior application.

A lot of my readers wanted to know if the shades in this collection are all repeats or if there are actually new shades available; I can't really say that there are repeat shades in this collection because I personally have never seen production, but there are definitely similar shades from this and Vice Cosmetics' permanent collections, which I have indicated throughout this post. 

If ever the shade/s you like from this collection are sold out, you can navigate their existing collection for counterparts; but I also understand that packaging is part of the purchase haha!

My most favorite products in this collection are the liquid lipsticks and eyeshadow palette just because these are guaranteed limited edition; for the cheek duos, I like Universtar and Prankster; for the tints, I like Tata.

Have you tried this yet? What are your thoughts and favorites?

  3. I have one those blush-highlighter duo and it's so much better than the individual highlighter he initially released. I am interested in the eyeshadow palette but I think it's a little bit pricey. Huhu!
