This palette was a gift from my gorgeous girl Zoe. It's a new palette from MUA, a brand which is found in Superdrug.
In all honesty, I don't often wear eye shadow. I wish I could but I always think I look a bit over done. Recently, I've been experimenting a bit more, I only ever really wear natural shades but I want to use some of the brighter colours in this palette as eyeliners by using them wet.
I've found my most favourite eyeshadow in this palette, which is surprising as I own the Urban Decay Naked palette, the Too Faced Natural Eye palette, and several Smashbox ones which all retail over £20, and yet my all time favourite eye shadows comes from a palette which costs £8 from Superdrug!
The shadow in question is the lovely pinky beige shimmery eye shadow above the white one. It's not very out there, as you can see from the bottom picture of me wearing it, it just gives a subtle shimmer to the lids which really brings out my eyes.
I usually use the white eye shadow as a highlighter around the corners of my eyes.
I'm looking forward to playing around with this palette a bit more, especially the bronze shades and more of the natural colours. I think it's one of those palettes which will really come in useful for travelling and just having to hand as it will most likely contain a few "go to" shades for everyone.
In terms of quality, I think you get more than what you pay for. I think the quality is great, I haven't experienced any fall out - and although it did crease, I didn't have primer on. I'd say it's definitely worth more than it's £8!
Next on my list is the MUA Heaven and Earth palette, I've been after this for so long!
Loving the range of colours and textures!

This looks gorgeous! I'm also not a huge eyeshadow wearer, I'd rather just have a bit of eyeliner and a nice lip colour on, but I might just have to get one of these!

like you, i don't really use eyeshadows that much because i feel that sometimes i look a bit stupid but i bought the urban decay naked palette in a hope that i would experiment more and i'm getting there slowly but i think this palette is perfect! it's such a great price too so i definitely think i'll be getting this! :) X
ReplyDeleteI've still not managed to get my hands on that MUA Heaven & Earth palette - the superdrug's in Leeds are pants! But this looks like it's got plenty of neutrals, plus with it being a bit more versatile with a few bright colours I might switch my search to this instead! x
ReplyDeleteI have both the naked palette and the heaven and earth palette and the quality of both are very good! This palette reminds me of the limited edition urban decay ones:)

I really want to try this and the Heaven and Earth palette's, although I too barely use eye shadow so I'm slightly unsure about whether I should or not! x

I'm a bit of an eye shadow phobe too, I'm always scared of overdosing on it and looking a bit clownish!
ReplyDeleteAlthough the nude shade looks really flattering and it's a nice subtle way to add some sparkle! :)
