There are a lot of things which I just pick up on a whim.
Well, being an impulsive buyer does that to you. If you are in Pune then you
must have heard of a shop called Much More. Its actually not a branded store
but the shoes, bags and other items are quite good and I shop a lot from them.
When roaming around the shop, I spotted a huge eyeshadow palette. Now my lack
of credit card means I cannot shop for those lovely palettes available abroad.
So I just picked this up without swatching or even giving it a second glance.
Price: I am
guessing it was for INR 550. I do not remember although I did see it on
FashionandYou for around INR 750 recently.
Packaging: I am a
sucker for cute or classy packaging and to tell you the truth I just loved the
packaging so much that I picked this up. The white case with the small bubble
clear tops is just adorable. The palette itself is huge with 98 eyeshadows and
four “chotu” applicators and a small mirror. The colors in it are just mind
blowing. From different shades of blues, greens, pinks and a whole lot of
neutral colors, this eyeshadow palette has it all. It even has a blood red
eyeshadow :P
Pigmentation and
Texture: The texture is smooth and very soft. All the eyeshadows have
golden shimmer which by the way is not very apparent when used on the lids. I
use my groundwork paint pot as a base so the eyeshadows do stay on for a
reasonable five to six hours which is pretty good considering what I paid for
it.
The pigmentation varies. While some colors are just
amazingly well pigmented others just do not show up and are very, very chalky.
Here are some random swatches of the eyeshadows.
What Do I Not Like
- Well, some eyeshadows are a real pain to use
- It is not a problem actually but I just cannot use these huge pallets. I prefer small quads
- NO matte eyeshadows L
- Not easily available. I guess some local beauty shops might stock this.
I cannot really advise you to get this palette but if you
are just starting off and want to play with a lot of colors without emptying
your bank account then this is a good bet.
This is just HUGE! I wanted a palette like this for ages. But since I have got too many shadows and I'm on a makeup diet.. :( You know what!! :(
