I'm baaaaaaaack. Hey guys. So I went to Jamaica, had the time of my life and when I got home I was sick as FU.....hell. I couldn't even leave my bed for a few days. Seriously, I think I might have pulled something coughing so hard. Anyways I'm feeling almost normal and I received my palette yesterday so I thought "whyyyyy not".
Saucebox Cosmetics was founded a mother-daughter duo. Their website says "The name takes its roots in Old English, and means rude and impudent, obnoxious". IF THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES. They do singles and they do palettes but when I saw the Etude Palette I knew I had to have it. So here it is in all it's glory!
The palette came with a free mascara which I've yet to open [I have tons to go through], but I will report back when I use it! A nice gesture nonetheless - I love free shit.
I suck at swatching. I'm not sure why, I'm just really bad at it. I also have some heat rash on my arms left over from my trip which doesn't make for the smoothest of swatches. But these are the shadows in natural light. I did finger swatches too because I'm MUCH better at those:
Outdoor lighting with natural overcast. Hence why one photo is sunny and the other isn't. Sue me. I can't control nature okay guys!!!!!. This gives you a better idea of the pigmentation. The lighter colours are a liiiittle bit powdery but not chalky at all, and they all blend really easily as you'll see in the video. They're rich and soft but not too soft, which I find sometimes tends to work against the pigmentation of eyeshadows (think Inglot - so soft they often just blend away). I wore these shadows for about ~7 hours and I saw minimal creasing and fading, but keep in mind I do use the bullet-proof Nars Pro Prime eye primer. At any rate, they seem to really adhere to the eye. Fall out was minimal as well, especially considering I used the black shade. Black usually get's all over my face [I'm just .... not gonna touch that one with a ten foot pole. Let's be mature here people].
Other products used on the face:
Mac Prolongwear Concealer in NW25 Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer
Nars Laguna Bronzer
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Precious
