I need a few new eye palettes and I was lucky enough to pick this up in the vault so I am very please I didn’t have to pay for it - huge bonus!
They are pretty colours and shades - I quite like them all.. I’m very rarely into bright and bold so this was a nice wee selection of shades that I thought I could mix and match with some other neutrals I tend to gravitate towards. In saying that the fact I have to use another palette to mix and match to get a desired look or colour doesn’t really suit my needs. I was drawn specifically to a pretty pink in the palette but I was travelling light and didn’t want to take this palette and another away on holiday with me so I had to leave this to try one day when home so in terms of usefulness it’s not one perfect palette to suit your needs. 90% shimmer and 10% matte so keep that in mind.
All the colours are pretty and mixable but it’s hard to complete a full look using the one palette alone. The pink colour I loved was the main drawcard for me! And it is gorgeous in person, but upon application it wasn’t as pigmented as I would have thought. It took some effort to build and build.. to make it quite noticeable and eventually it did give a nice look but it wasn’t long lived. It’s nice for a selection to mix and match but downside is it’s not one palette for a complete look. Good if you can get it in the vault though as I wouldn’t pay full price for this.
This palette vs my Mac solar glow - Mac wins hands down wet or dry.
Such a wide range of shades in this palette. Very warm and inviting tones. I find that the only one with a matte finish really is the lightest shade which I find perfect for under my brows to make my brows pop!
The rest of the shades are glittery/shimmer and I love using them for a night out look! They are creamy and easy to work with, the pigmentation is great and they are long lasting.
During application there can be a lot of fallout due to the formula of the eyeshadow. It retails for $39.95. To me thats a bit pricey as I only use this for a night out look and that dosen't happen too often
I have had a decent play around with this palette and it can be used to create a lot of different looks
