I brought this from Naturisimo, a UK online retail that provide free delivery with any purchase. They have 10% off once in a while and I brought it during that time. I had it for about 6 months now and only started to use it more frequently because i went out more often. This is good for daily simple looks but I don't really like how most of the colors are quite ashy. However i was digging into wanted to own an organic eyeshadow palette and this is the cheapest and the style that's I'm looking for (I mean the packaging and numbers of colors included, instead of just quad) as I just started doing makeup and wanted to play more with stuff. An eyeshadow palette is definitely a thing to have. I kinda sad that they release another one with brighter color as soon as I brought this :(
there is pink and a nice bright ivory in that palette!! UGH. I want those color more than this honestly. The shelf life of this product is 1 year, but usually people just keep until they ditch...but I'm gonna finish this off. Not a fans of keeping things too long for nothing. It comes with a dual-end sponge tip applicator, it's quite tiny, about 9cm. At first the feeling of it is quite stiff, but after using and washing it a couple times it kinds became a little bit soften. Personally I think it's a decent applicator, i would usually use the wider ones to apply base color, it picks up the color quite well, plus that the eyeshadow are quite creamy too. Love it.
Color from left to right: Stark Naked/ AuNatural/ Skinny Dip/ Shy Away/ Lady Godiva/ Birthday Suit/ Exhibitionist/ Exposed
without primer

with TONY MOLY Face Mix Eye Primer
The texture of the colors are good, soft and slightly creamy, easy to blend and apply. But the payoff isn't so well. I do wonder is it because my skin tone is kinda tan :/ Probably this is design for the Whites lol. I would recommend to use to primer for it if you want things to look a bit more brighten.
My Impression of the colors
Stark Naked: A matte low tone quite ashy beige
AuNatural: A sheen sparkle light mousse light brown-beige, like tree trunk under exposure
Skinny Dip: Another ashy light brown, I haven't use this a lot because the color of it is not too much difference from Au Natural, it's just slightly more ash-ier. It doesn't show much as it's too similar to my skin tone too :
Shy Away: One of my favorite in this palette, it's a much more warm brown than the previous 3 colors, and lovely sheen too :)
Lady Godiva: Gold color was never on my list, i wanted to try some orange tone color, but anyhow I have to say that this is one of the best color in this palette too, and the color payoff is so much better than most of those
Birthday Suit: A matte neutral tone brown, not too cool, not too warm, the just right middle brown that I would use for my eyebrows too
Exhibitionist: A cool olive brown, slightly darker than the previous color and comes with bits of sheen
Exposed: This black is not so pigmented as I would imagine :/ Again, it's a very ashy low-tone color. Not like jet-black or ivory black those like of stuff. ( sorry I' a painter :P) If i have to compare this with my ivory black oil paint, this color lose for sure. But at least if you use primer the color shows a bit more better. This also comes with small sparkles.
The Matte color I mention are not absolutely matte, compare to alima pure's matte eyeshadow. They have some little sheen but not a super big deal if you don't mind.
The staying power is not super strong. When I start using it i only put on the lightest on my lid, and at the end of the day after rubbing and touching it seems there's nothing on my eyes except some sheen which i think is the mica. But it's good for me when I'm too lazy to use too much cleaning products to remove my makeup, lol.
