Hello folksickles. As a makeup junkie and blogger you may have realized that I review a LOAD of eyeshadow palettes and I like to think of myself as being largely an eyeshadow junkie. In order to declutter a bit I've decided to pick out a palette or series of eyeshadows 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 eyeshadows - how I feel about them and whether I'll be keeping them or giving them away (and why :P) as well as if I think it's worth its price tag.
You can find a look I did with the palette here. These are the looks I created this month:
So as you can see I created some colorful smoky looks. For my own personal tastes, I don't love the palette because I feel like the colors are beautiful individually but create looks that are overall too dark for my personal taste when used together. In particular, I feel like the bottom row, while beautiful, just makes any look done using those colors very intense and dark. I think the kinds of looks I created would look beautiful on someone with a deeper skin-tone versus on someone as pale as I am. I really love the quality of this palette - the color payoff is excellent, the shadows are beautiful, and they blend well. I will hold onto this palette because, in my opinion, I have similar colors in my collection but they're not as nice of a quality as the ones in this palette are. That said, I don't think I'll use this palette as a standalone going forward.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Disclaimer: I purchased this palette myself.
