If you saw my tweet, you'll know I've done a lot of beauty shopping recently so I'll be doing some reviews here on the blog. I made a MakeUp Revolution order, purely because I couldn't get what I wanted in my Superdrug as it's a bit lacking! I bought the Oil Control Setting Spray (£5), the New-Trals vs Neutrals palette (£6.99) that I had been eager to get my hands on and a couple of new eye brushes; the E101 and the E103 (£1.99 each). Read on to see what I think of them.
The shade names from left to right; top row:
Bias, Neutral, Personal, Vogue, Trend, New-tral, Tone, CustomBottom row:
Cool, Style, Partial, Mode, Adapt, Buff, Suit, Strong
I'm sorry about the uneven lighting, it was a nightmare! Bias and cool are very pale shades, hence why they don't show up too well.
Pros
- The shadows are very pigmented.
- They're a creamy powder consistency.
- They blend beautifully.
- Nice combination of mattes and shimmers.
- Perfect for those who enjoy a bold look or a more neutral one.
Cons
- By the end of the day they had creased and basically absorbed into my eyes completely , even with a primer. This was after 13 hours wear though, so it's to be expected.
Pros
- The E103 (right) blended and diffused the colour wonderfully without totally removing it.
- Both brushes have really soft synthetic bristles.
Cons
- The E101 (left) left more pigment on the brush than it did on my eye. I'm going to put this down to it being brand new, as I find that when brushes are too clean, they're not as good.
Pros
- Smells delicious.
- Comes out in a nice even spritz.
- Nice size bottle.
Cons
- I found it made me look more shiny and didn't help control my oiliness . I really like a matte finish though whereas you might like more of a glow.
Verdict
Overall I was a bit disappointed with the fixing spray, I would have been very happy to find something to keep my shine at bay. I've only been using it about a week though so maybe it'll improve with more use!
I like the brushes, the fluffy blending one is going to become one of my favourites, I can already tell.
The palette is beautiful. I'm a sucker for eyeshadow palettes anyway but I especially love the mix of regular neutrals and some unusual ones such as the pinks, its a very versatile palette and you can create an array of different looks. I love the shimmers and think this is a perfect palette for autumn/winter.
Do you have this palette? what are your thoughts on it? I know the pink shades put some people off. Leave me a comment with your thoughts and follow me on Bloglovin!
Thanks for reading and I'll speak to you soon,
