Hello folks. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized
that I review a LOAD of eye shadow palettes and I like to think of myself
as being largely an eye shadow junkie. In order to de-clutter a bit
I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eye shadows for the
month and have that be my monthly selection for those instances where
I'm not doing a tutorial for the blog. Every month I'll do a recap on
the eye shadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them
or giving them away (and why :P).
So as you can see I created a bunch of colorful and somewhat neutral looks using these eyeshadows. I have been using the Spin the Wheel app and playing "Palette Roulette" as inspired by xsparkage and
it's been so much fun and takes the guesswork out of figuring out which
colors to use every day. I just roll 5 shades and work with them for
the most part - sometimes I'll add a blending shade or highlight as
necessary. I'm definitely holding on to the beautiful glittery pigments - I love the metallic,
foiled finish they provide and how technically they can be used on their
own or to boost a look when applied over existing eyeshadow. Beautiful! That being said, I will be passing the Quo palettes along. I just know I have similar shades in other palettes and I find that the Quo shadow quality isn't the greatest - they go on patchy, chalky, and I have to fight with them to get them to blend.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Disclaimer: I purchased everything you see myself with the exception of the Quo palettes, which were a gift.
