Top l-r: 11 Wild at heart, 42 Mystic Purple Bottom l-r: 22 Blockbuster, 19 Disco Diva |
11 Wild At Heart is a metallic navy in the pan but when swatched, it is more purple than blue, and its my favourite of the bunch. It is a good metallic, but the colour needs to be built up in layers to get the effect.

Not much of a metallic effect, but the colour more than makes up for the lack of effect

22 BlockBuster is a matte neutral yellow-based nude. A god staple for any collection. Blockbuster is a really lovely, creamy, well pigmented colour,
Lastly: 42 Mystic Purple is a bit of a conundrum. Supposedly a holographic effect, there is nothing purple or holographic about this.
Its more of a metallic silvery-white. Even with a tendency to fallout, it is a pretty shade to use as a highlight under the brows or the inner corner of the eye.

It really shines when you work at it and build up the colour.

Worth the €1.99 price? I think so, considering you get 2.5g of product in the pan, this budget busting brand is really ticking al my boxes.
I love the essence eyeshadows i have a gorgeous shimmerry bronzy one
ReplyDeleteI have stopped buying bronzy shades as I realised they don't really suit me, But I still like them!
DeleteThe Essence shadows are the best. I've invested in the 'party all night' and 'starlight' shades - a gold and a silver, for the glam effect.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting essence in SA? Awesome! the Catrice stands in dischem are great too!
DeleteI love Essence shadows too, such great value!
ReplyDeleteThey really are, especially on a limited budget!
