One of my braver purchases is their Vintage Romance palette (£7.99, Boots). Its chocked full of deep, yet vibrant jewel toned shades, which really compliment green and brown eyes wonderfully. I've never really been brave enough to wear bright colours on my eyes, however the shades in this palette are so wearable and can really make a smokey eye something special.
The pink and purple shades were really ones I worried about most, because pink is sometimes a no go with eyes, as it can make you look ill if worn wrong. However the tones in these shades are spot on, and the deeper one are perfect for crease work. The quality is brilliant, with each shade extremely pigmented and smooth to apply. There's no fall out of product either, so it makes application easy, especially for beginners and for day-to-day use.
A two ended sponge applicator is included with all palettes, however it's not my favourite tool to use and I find the shadows go on much better with brushes. You can really pack on the shadows for smokey, full on feel with an ELF Eyeshadow Brush, or if you prefer they sheer out wonderfully with a fluffy blender brush like the Zoeva Luxe Define Crease Brush. I've even found that the darker shades work wonderfully as liners for the eyes either dry or dampened down for a more intense look, using a Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush.
The wear-time of the shadows is fair, and can be prolonged with an eye primer which I would recommend anyway if you suffer with oily lids. Removing the shadows is also pretty easy, even the darer shades come off with ease when using a make up remover.
Overall these palletes are incredible for the small price tag. There are numerous of different collections within the palette range with amazing colours and unlimited looks.
