This is what the actual palette looks like from a picture on the MUA website. As you can see the eye shadows are all neutral colours with shimmer in them. The eye shadow colours are probably best for brown eyes, but that being said I have green eyes and they still work for me.
This palette is the first product that introduced me to the brand MUA, which I am so happy that I purchased as I really love the brand and have built up quite a collection. On the MUA website the ingrediants of the palette are: Mica, Talc, magnesium Stearate, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-1, Ethylhexyl palmitate, Polybutene, Dimethicone, Propylparaben, Methylparaben. All MUA products are cruelty free which is always a bonus but I am not sure if they are vegan friendly. The palette is retailed for £4.00, which is a steal!
Now to the actual review, the colours I use the most on this palette is the three light pink champagne colours and the dark grey, brown colours at the end of the palette. I use the pink champagne colours in combination as a base on the eye shadow for a lot of my eye looks, but also as a highlight for inner corner and brown bone. The darker brown taupe colours I use in my crease and I blend it to create depth and to make my eyes look bigger. This palette is great for creating the perfect smoky eye for evening and everyday.
I see this palette being mentioned a lot in the beauty world as the colour range is comparable to the naked palette. I think this is MUA's most wearable palette that you can use everyday as it has multiple uses and is not too out there for everyday. so if you want eye shadows that you can use everyday and feel like you are not overdoing the eye make up than this is for you. As for me I find that I am not comfortable wearing bright eye shadows unless for a special occasion, but if you have the confidence and enjoy brighter eye shadows then maybe other MUA palette's might be for you.
The consistency of the actual eye shadow is a more dusty feel but I find that I like how it applies as it blends well and is easy to apply. so for a beginner this is perfect as it is easy to create a beautiful look so simply. The only problem with the consistency is that as it is more on the dusty side there can be some fall out, but I don't find it to be a problem and I am quite picky about any product that goes on my eyes. For the price of the product I can't really complain, so overall I recommend this product greatly especially if you are a bit tight for cash and want to add some more eye shadows to your collection. Also if you just starting out in make up or want to vary your everyday eye make up then I think go for it!
To get your hands on this beautiful palette they are sold directly in superdrug in the uk. However some smaller stores don't always stock the palettes and there can be a problem with them being sold out as they are very popular. so If that is the case you can order of directly from the MUA website, its free delivery if you spend over £30, but if not the postage cost is £2.95 for standard shipping in the UK . MUA does ship internationally which costs £7.50 and European delivery is £4.95. It is worth signing up to their newsletter as they have a lot of sales on their products regularly making them even cheaper and they sometimes even have offers on shipping .
