Manhattan Perfect Eyes Eyeshadow : Bronze Effects

Hey Guys... It's been quite some time that I actually got time to write a review,I have been very busy and finally I can write about this trio eyeshadow palette that I bought for only £1 (poundland.co.uk).
This is a bronze effect trio palette with amazing golden colours,it comes with a applicator which I lost somewhere.

What They Claim?

• Long-lasting eyeshadow.
• Innovative Soft Touch texture.
• Apply dry for a discreet look, moist for intense impact.
• No clumping in the eyelid crease.
• Dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested.

 The back really helps and provides a guideline for application but does not mean you can't experiment with the colours,I did!,but the language is in German so I couldn't follow the instructions clearly.

 It comes with three eyeshadows with 1,2,3 engraved on them which really guides you when applying the eyeshadows.

 The pencil was very harsh to the under-eye which is a very sensitive area,so it could have been a little softer for easier and pain-free application.

 Weirdly when I applied the eyeshadow the bronze colours looked "green-ish" possibly because the colours combined together but overall I really liked the outcome and the softness of the colours,and for £1 including a eyeliner pencil is a bargain!


Pros:

• Three different colours,very good for the price
• Highly Pigmented
• Comes in other colours such as pinks and blues.

Cons:

• Cheap packaging which can easily break
• Not very long-lasting without a good eye primer

Collection 2000 Smokey Eyes Palette

Today I thought I would give this eye-shadow palette a go,I bought this quite some time back but never actually got the time to use because it was either with someone else or just had others to try.

I love the idea of having all the basic eye-shadow to get a smoky look and a smoky look is what I usually prefer to wear as a daily eye make-up due to its subtleness. 

This palette contain 8 single eye shadows which is categorised as medium,dark and light and also a cream,and also applicator which I've lost and also a "how-to-guide" ( which today I used to test its usefulness..see below to see the result)

Price: £4.19

bought from boots.co.uk

What others have to say about this product?

I love this as soon as I saw it on the website I knew I had to get it. When I saw it in the shop I literally grabbed it. I love the colours they are all so nice and compliment each other and also with the " how to use" guide on the back it's easy to do a smokey eye if you don't know already. It's so cheap, good quality, great colours and I'm definitely pleased with it :-) the only thing that isn't so great is the foam applicator that comes with it but I use a brush anyway so it doesn't matter

Most of these eye-shadow have some glitter in them but I love the pigmentation and the overall look it provides,I find that some of the shades work better on different people because some shades do not stand out as much as others do so I used all of the eye-shadows to achieve the look to get more pigmentation and see results.

Here was the finishing look when I tried to follow each step on the guide,I also damped my brush and then used it to apply the black shade as an subtle eye-liner.

Sleek Makeup i-Divine Ultra Mattes DARKS PALETTE

 I truly believe that sleek have the best range of eyeshadows palettes due to their huge range of colours and today I will be reviewing the sleek matte palette in the dark colours and the reason I love this one is because of the matte look which makes it wearable everywhere.

This can be bought in superdrugs.co.uk for only £7.99 which is amazing because you get 12 highly pigmented colours which is around 0.70p each colour.

What the product claims?

Sleek Makeup’s legendary i-Divines are 12 shades of high-quality, super-pigmented eyeshadow, suited to every skin tone.Ultra Mattes are intensely creamy, highly pigmented colours that are super- blendable. These mineral-based eyeshadows are so smooth in texture they are ideal for contouring eyes and creating multi-dimensional looks.

A palette of 12 pressed eyeshadows, the V1 Bright Ultra Mattes i- Divine contains 12 pure matte shades.

 The packaging of the sleek palette is what I really find to resemble palettes in the high end but the mechanism could be a bit better manufactured because I have three different palettes and all my palette have a lid which is either fully open or loose, having a palette with no lid could be difficult because you then don’t have a mirror and also your eyeshadows are prone to cracking.

 What others have to say about this palette?
This palette is great for acheiving smokey eyes with a difference, it doesn't always have to be greys, this palette offers greens, purples, berries and browns, very velvety colours, however, working with mattes is a lot harder than with shimmers, make sure you have a few good brushes an extra time to blend....GREAT, I put it on in the morning and it always stays on the whole day.

 As you can see from above the eyeshadow are truly pigmented and amazing for experimenting for different effects, however it is very “powdery “so fallouts are possible and I am unable to comment about the lasting power because I always use a primer which makes it last for around 10 hours ( I never need to keep makeup on for more than 10 hrs)

 The palette comes with this double ended applicator which I use to apply the eyeshadow onto the eyelid but I never use this for blending as I always use my real technique starter set for any eyeshadow application

Pros:

• The packaging provides you with a wide mirror which is always useful
• 12 lovely matte shades which are highly pigmented
• Suitable for all skin tones

Cons:

• The lid of the palette tends to come off or the screw becomes loose making it very flimsy
