As per usual I am a tad late on the bandwagon....
I have seen and read so many reviews on these palettes but opinions were divided therefore I was unsure whether to purchase or not. Some loved them whilst others thought they were overrated and the quality inconsistent. However I really wanted some new eyeshadow to play with and 12 colours for £4.88 is fantastic value.
Original
This is the first and my absolute favourite. All the colours are shimmery/metallic with the exception of the black. Sadly the gold colour broke but I have many gold eyeshadows so no biggie!
I love the row of greens, blues and the solo purple especially. My swatches didn't really come out properly but I assure you that they are very very pigmented. You get a better idea of the colour payoff in this photo.
Storm
This palette has three matte shadows - brown, beige and the black. I have yet to use this but my favourite colour is the pink in the top row.
I was unable to get a good photo of the swatches. The mattes didn't come out too great for me but nothing that a bit of primer won't solve.
To conclude, I freaking love these! They work great with my skintone, blend easy and best of all, are so highly pigmented they feel creamy to touch. I couldn't reccommend these enough. Next up on my list is the Chaos palette. I'm just gutted that I missed out on the LE Safari palette!
Gorjus look u did on the eye, may have to try recreat that - its very smokey!
ReplyDeleteI must agree, i absolutely adore the sleek pallets and to prove that i have every single one of them! cant get enough, im like whens the next one going to come out!!
They're such a bargain. The Storm palette is my fave. The look you did on your eyes look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI used the original palette the other day and covered my eyes in the gorgeous blue colour and used the copper very lightly as a highlight. I love how you can do the whole eye with one shadow by just applying more or less wherever you need it.
