I
haven’t had any reviews lately, because I don’t really try new
makeup products. I’m trying to keep my addiction under control and
give my skin a break by going make up free, as I said on previews
posts(Cutting down makeup, my story, Acne Update). I don’t have much inspo lately either so I barely post. But
I have a new palette, which I bought as a Christmas gift to myself
and I’m ready to talk about it! Many months later after I bought it
but I tried several times and I have the full experience! So let’s
get started.
The
colors of this palette are really pretty with a range of easily
wearable matte neutrals with a cool undertone. There are two browns,
one darker than the other, an ecru, a kind of burnt/dusty orange, a
dusty pink and a lilac. There all cool toned, kinda reminds me of
soft pastels to be honest. In my opinion that color range can be used
from day to night. There are all the basic colors plus a playful but
subtle pink and a lilac to help us create more looks.
The
color payoff is
strong on the browns and orange, but less on the other colors. Which
actually makes sense,
because the lighter
the color is, the less payoff it
usually has, no matter how buttery their formula
is. Plus purples are hard to be made as far as know. I mean, I’ve
never had a highly pigmented purple in my collection so far.
Generally, I think that the price of this palette is pretty low for
the quality of the eyeshadows. I bought it 10,25€ and it’s
the only palette I’ve been using since, because I love it’s
colors and their pigmentation plus they’re pretty easy to blend.
Also, it is travel
friendly because of it’s size! I actually had to attend a wedding
in an other city and this was the palette I used for my makeup,
because it is compact and has a great color range. I also did my
contour with the brown eyeshadows, I’m very into multitasking
makeup products and I think that we can use pressed pigments for more
than one job, that way we can save money and pack less while
traveling.
The palette is made
in China, has 24 months life since it’s been opened which equals to
2 years. Each pan has 1.37 g/ 0.04 oz of product and there are 6 pans
total. It has no parabens but neither the leaping bunny cerification,
Nyx is no longer cruelty free certified, which kinda makes me sad.
Summing up, I really
like this palete. I love it’s color range, the fact that it’s
small and can be carried around anywhere and gives the opportunity of
create different kind of makeup looks, day or night plus it’s wallet
friendly.
