Review:
These eyeshadows come in cute little pots. Although they look quite small, the products are highly pigmented so a little bit goes a long way. It's also really easy to build up the colour, making it stronger and darker by applying another layer. I apply them onto my eyelids with an eyeshadow brush but you can also use your fingers. They're really easy to apply, aren't drying and easily blend into the skin without leaving creases. I find that they're also long lasting, so I can't fault the formulation at all. The ingredients are really simple; the main one is mica followed by titanium dioxide (which also adds a SPF) then a small handful of colours. That's it!



In order, the colours I've tried are: Chocolate fudge cake, Honey peach and Vanilla shimmer but there are loads more to choose from. Chocolate fudge cake is my favourite of the three, it looks very purpley in the pot but once it's applied it appears as a mid to deep, rich brown colour with shimmery purple undertones when it hits the light. All of these colours are two dimensional and shimmery, revealing a slightly lighter sheen when they catch the light. I think this is really flattering and brightens up the eyes.

Overall I love the natural ingredients, beautiful colours, high quality and ethics behind this family brand. Their eyeshadows could also make a perfect gift as you can choose for yourself any three colours and have them packaged in a nice-looking gift box for £14.99.

10/10
