88 Earth Tone Eyeshadow Palette Review, Swatches & EOTD By Indian Vanity Case


This is an eyeshadow palette of earth tone shades that I got from kkcenterhk.com . Earth tones or neutral palettes are a must-have if you wear eyeshadow everyday, especially if you can't afford to keep repurchasing single eyeshadows from MAC & other high street/high end brands, and you're new to makeup & still trying to decide which eyeshadow shades look best on you.
88 Earth Tone Eyeshadow Palette comes in a black case, mirror and 2 dual-ended sponge tip applicators. As, you can see, a few eyeshadows and the mirror were broken during shipping tsk tsk.

Ingredients
Size of the palette: 167mm x 232mm x 13mm. The eyeshadows are a little smaller than the ones in the 120 palette I have.



88 palette Vs 120 palette
Review:
This palette turned out exactly like I expected - good, not great. 

Likes:
♥ Affordable
♥ Has almost every neutral shade I'll ever need 
♥ Eyeshadows are silky & blendable
♥ Combination of matte & shimmery/pearly eyeshadows
♥ Come with a mirror and applicators
♥ The case is light

Dislikes:
-  Some eyeshadows are not pigmented at all, and some are chalky, especially the lighter shades
- Some shades look too similar to each other

I'm really enjoying playing around with this palette. However, I do think they need an eyeshadow primer to show up nicely.

Some swatches:





In the following EOTD, I used all matte shades on my lids- the reddish brown & the taupey brown on its right (10th&11th row, second last), black on outer V, and a pearly cream shade on brow bone and tear duct area.
