Review by Lee
Hi Girls,
Today I’m going to review a 12 eyeshadow palette which super super affordable from a brand called Glamorous. I got it in the shade ‘St. Tropez’ and lets start with the review
Product Description
Glamorous 12 Color Eye Shadow is the perfect way to try out that hot new look! Each palette has four exciting color schemes and is offered in a variety of combinations. Our eye shadow is specifically designed for every woman’s unique skin complexity. Applicator included for on-the-go touchups.
Price: $6 for 10gms
Packaging
The palette comes in a rectangular plastic packaging with a transparent lid on top. Inside it contains 12 eyshadows with a double ended sponge applicator. The applicator is pretty ‘meh’ but it is good enough to be used for touch ups. The packaging does feel a little flimsy but shuts tightly so you can easily carry it in your purse
Texture & Shades
The texture of the eyeshadows is pretty much a mixed bad. The darker color are very soft and smooth while the lighter shades are a very hard and gritty. Its hard to get enough product on the brush to apply it so I’m not at all happy with the texture.
The palette contains a gorgeous array of shades from pretty neutrals to pinks, purples and light blues. You can easily create a complete eyemakeup look as it has lid colors, darker crease shades as well as highlighting shades
Pigmentation & Staying Power
Oh God! The pigmentation of these is absolutely terrible. The swatches you see in the pic are the result of hard labour of swatching them again and again! :p I think I must’ve swiped them 5-6 times to make them show up on my skin. Only the orange and purples are decently pigmented but the rest just do not show up!These do have better pigmentation with a base underneath but it still requires alot of effort to work with these.
It also lacks in staying power which is such a huge bummer coz I really liked the shades in this palette. It stays put for 2-3 hours after which it totally vanishes. I have’nt applied these without a base because umm they just don’t show up :p
1)Has a nice variety of shades
2)Comes with a sponge applicator easing touch ups
3)Super Cheap
Cons
1)Gritty and hard texture
2)Bad Pigmentation
3)Bad Staying Power
Recommended? Umm no! Sure the palette is very cheap but it is very hard to work with. It pretty much lacks in all aspects and I can’t recommend this at all.
Editor’s note: Ooo..sad that its lacks in pigmentation and staying power..the shades are gorgeous and it would have been an awesome palette if pigmented..but loved your EOTD !
