Dress your eyes in the bold and effortless colour of Clarins Ombre Matte Cream-to-Powder Eyeshadow.
Rosewood

Nude Pink

Nude Beige

The Ombre Matte Eyeshadow gives a matte and even finish that stays true thanks to an infusion of Bamboo powder, known for its flexibility and resilience. It is exceptionally comfortable to wear and so quick to apply. Simply swipe and blend with a brush for lasting colour and hold. Available in six gorgeous neutral colours to suit all skin tones..
  • 01 Nude Beige
  • 02 Nude Rose
  • 03 Taupe
  • 04 Rosewood
  • 05 Sparkle Grey
  • 06 Earth

These new shadow pots offer a brand new and innovative cream to powder formula with the “comfort and smoothing effect of a cream with fine quality and hold of a powder”. The Clarins Ombre Matte Cream To Powder Eyeshadows really are amazing! They actually feel like a cream and powder at the same time?!  you can apply them with either a brush or simply use your fingers. You get great results with both but I prefer to use my fingers as it takes seconds and give a great finish.. Easy peasy!!.

I've had no creasing and they stay put all day! You can pick them up for around £19.00 for 7g. You only need a tiny bit as they are really pigmented and pack a punch!

NYX - I Dream Of Nevis

I Dream of Nevis is a beautiful neutral palette. I am loving the matte vanilla, shimmery taupe, and the deep brown. The beautiful shades transfer quite nicely onto skin - pigmented and smooth, but with a little fall out.
 




 
First shade: It is a matte vanilla colour, it is very smooth and very pigmented, it is perfect to use as an all-over lid colour as well as a highlight shade.


Second shade: A matte skin-tone with a bit of a greyish undertone to it, it is amazingly pigmented, you could use it as a lid colour or a crease colour too.


Third shade: A frosted taupe colour with flecks of very fine silver shimmer, without it being too obvious as it gives a sheen on the lids rather than a sparkle.


Fourth shade: It is a shimmery silver colour with sparkle and tons of shimmer, it doesn't stick to the lid! It has lots of fallout so my least favourite of the palette.


Fifth shade: A matte deep brown shade, could also be used as an eyeliner, for a more natural look, a lovely warm colour.

All in all a lovely little palette with nice shades to create day or night looks.

Wet n Wild Walking on Eggshells

Here is another Palette i have been looking at for a while & trying to figure out the best way to get my hands on it!

It is such a lovely palette with 3 stunning eye shadows that are creamy & pigmented for the price they are a steal, They blend amazingly well & last well for hours without fading or creasing.
like all Icon palettes they have the Brow-bone, crease & Eyelid printed into the shadow, which is a little strange if not obvious but good for beginners?


Now to the shadow shades you get a pearly champagne eyelid shade, a slightly metallic bronze crease shade, and a shimmery pale beige brow-bone shade. It's a beautiful neutral everyday palette. The champagne shade reminds me of Urban Decay Sin, it's also a good dupe for MAC Naked Lunch or Stila Kitten. The bronze shade looks similar to Urban Decay Smog, or often compared to MAC Cork and Mulch. The beige shade looks like Urban Decay Virgin, and some people say it's a dupe for MAC Shroom or Nylon.


The packaging is slightly cheap looking but for the price, i can over look that! All in All a great little palette.
