Eyeshadow palette from Born Pretty Store+EOTDs

Hey pretty ladies,

Today I’m going to show you a lovely palette from Born Pretty store. I’m not an eye shadow junkie but sometimes it looks nice to apply eye shadows on my eyes. I’m not a makeup expert but my readers always ask me to do posts of makeup looks so I have to do that for them.

Some words about Born Pretty Store-

An online store which mainly consists of nail art products like nail polishes, nail art stamping etc. but also have many other things like shadows, contact lenses etc. which they sell at the best price and provide the best service. They also provide Free Shipping Worldwide. So if you're a nail art junkie Born Pretty Store is the best place for you!!


They sent me two palettes but today I’m reviewing just one. This palette has 16 shades in it, all shades are different from each other. There is also an applicator provided.

Packaging

The packaging of this palette is pretty and attractive. All shades are secure in their cases but palette lid is not strong. It can be break and shadows can be destroyed in case of a fall down. The palette is without any mirror which is a big minus point.

Applicator

The applicator of this palette is nice and it’s so easy to apply the shadow on my lids with it although I always use eye brush for applying the shadows.

Shades

The palette has 16 shades and I have already written that the all shades of the palette different from each other. It is a combination of some light and some dark shades which is a good thing. Sometimes a palette with some same repeated shades makes it very frustrating. But this one has almost every cool and warm shade in it. The cost of this palette is very attractive and less, only $4.84, so it’s a good option for beginners of makeup who want to experiment with the colors.

Pigmentation

I’ll not say that all the shades are pigmented but most of shades are buttery smooth in the texture that glide on skin well even without a primer and can be built up to create the desired depth of the shade you want. But some are not pigmented and you have to take out them again & again and still you’ll not get your right color on your lids. This makes very disappointed. You can understand it by swatches.

The good Points-

Most of the shades are pigmented, have a soft and buttery texture.

Easy to blend.

Good combination of different kinds of shades.

Every skin colored girls can get their right skin toned shades for any occasion.

Lasting power is just okay. You can remain free for 4-5 hours without tension.

Not much fallout.

The Bad Points-

The most irritating thing is in this palette is it's smell. I don’t like it's smell. I think this is a big negative point in it.

The palette comes without any mirror which is very inconvenient for doing makeup. It’s a big palette; you hold it in your hand and then hold a mirror in your other hand for applying shadow. How disgusting!!

All the shades in this palette are shimmery, some are very some are a bit less so if you're not a fan of shimmery shades you can skip this one.

Overall verdict-

Overall I feel that according to it's price it's a lovely palette and will be great for beginners who would love to play with shades!!

Rating- 2.75/5
